In Bruges has been on the top of my DVD rental queue at Quickflix for two months now and in that time it has been listed as 'long wait' with no change. So a message to anyone in Australia who has In Bruges rented out from Quickflix: Quit hogging the DVD and Return it already!

This Is the last time I'll address the thing on "illegal immigrants" because I don't want to turn this into a political topic.....and if I have I apologize-but:
I figure that, if the other countries don't let us into their countries without showing any sort of I.D.-which they do not, then they have no right to come into ours without I.D. as well.
About a year ago Mexico threw a hissy--fit and acted like a bunch of a-holes because a Bounty Hunter came into their country.
If another country's people can come into our country illegally, then we should be able to do the same and just walk into any country we want to walk into without their permission.
Back to the topic at hand....................
I hate the "new form" of television.
I hate living small towns...they always get referred top as being friendly places where everyone loves everyone.
All I can say is....Baloney.
I am 29, and have lived in small town all my life--except of a quick two year stay in Phoenix AZ. during my late teens.
And I HATE small towns...all that stuff about how lovable and kindly all the small town folks are, is B.S.
At least as far as I am concerned.
I remember one town, my dad had just bought an old juice machine and my little brother and I used it to sell Lemonade.
That is until we were accused of getting the water for said Lemonade from the polluted river several blocks away, instead of the filtered sink water three steps away.
And The town we live in now?
looks like a minor Earthquake happened...that's how bad the streets and sidewalks are damaged--they have been like this for more than a hundred years...but instead of the incredibly wealthy town fathers paying for it, they have ruled that they want to fix them but that whoever lives beside said sidewalk and or street will have to pay the several thousands of dollars against their will qhile the wealthy don't have to pay one damned penny.
And what is their reason?
Because they said so that's why.
Not to mention that this same small town had a small house that laid un-used for quite a while...maybe a year or two. And no one...not one person showed any interest in ever buying it.
Then one day a black family is rumored to be thinking of moving into the town................and all of a sudden the house is getting so many offers to be bought that you would think it was made of gold or something.
The black family didn't move in after all, and the "house" became a church.
I found it highly IRONIC that no one wanted the place until a black family was supposedly going to move in.
It was pretty obvious there was some racism going on in this town.
Oh, yeah......................The "church" never seems to be used any more now that the black family is gone.

-Men thinking I want to be their girl because I like being their friend. To be fair, most men won't mistake friendship for romance as long as there aren't "mixed signals" or "possible openings"... And even if some are just head over heels in love with you, but they don't "blame" it on you, or just keep it for themselves, can you really be mad at them? /devil's advocate

People who put words in your mouth during an argument.
Having a college degree and still making the same amount of money I made before the degree.
People who ride your tail with ice all over the road. That happened way too many times this past winter.
People who misspell every word and expect you to take them serious.

- Some of the other staff at my work. Our job involves pulling things forward on the shelves. Thats it. Were told to pull everything forward, then once we finish, do the same in dairy and the freezers. The other 2 people that work only bring 2 things forwards, finish way before me, do dairy and freezers, then complain to the boss that I don't help them with dairy or freezers.
- Bad drivers. I love it when someone who has been tailgating you finally pulls into another lane only to get stuck behind a truck and you keep cruising along at the speed limit and they get no where.
- Angry customers. At the moment, for $2, you can get a packet of footy cards with the newspaper. The amount of people who have yelled at me for telling them that they actually have to buy the newspaper to get the cards is ridiculous.
- Parents who dump their kids in the toy section of a store then go do their shopping, leaving the kids to run wild throwing the toys around everywhere.

And even if some are just head over heels in love with you, but they don't "blame" it on you, or just keep it for themselves, can you really be mad at them? /devil's advocate Ahh, mixed signals. See, my main issue is, I have a very open personality. I hug. Loads. I smile more then it seems, I laugh very easily. I've had people tell me I'm a bit of a flirt, when in reality, MY reality that is, I have no idea I'm doing it. I'm cheerful and peppy, and I don't see why everyone gets that confused with being flirtatious. It could just be me sucking at knowing the signals. As for the "possible opening" statement, it's like...yes, I am single. Does that necessarily warrant my wanting to be..non..single? Nope. As for the being head over heels for me...I have no idea how that happens. My attention span, well, I liken it to a walnut on crack. >> My personality is a vast overload of caffeination and bubbles with the more then random occassional bout of intelligence...that people tend to look over because of the bubbles. I have a very random personality, and how anyone can dig that for more then five minutes, I have absolutely no idea. ;D

The problem is: be it about self-importance or about desperation, we guys tend to take whatever bit of attention/kindness/enthusiasm/easy-goingness as some sort of "hmm, is she flirting with me?" thing. I can totally see you not doing it on purpose, or with malice, but it's just THE main basis of the Men from Mars/Women from Venus theory. Oh, and of the Ladder Theory too. I don't think there's a way out of that loop, unless you're willing to act like a stuck-up bitch instead of being yourself... Don't be silly! Every girl wants her Prince Charming, or Prince not-so-charming, or Captain Asshole, or the Frog Walnut on crack eh? Ok, any plans for the weekend?

I'm one of those rare people who don't like spuds. Yes I hate potatoes. I'm a freak.
But what really pisses me off is that almost every meal comes with a side of fries, mash or roast potatoes. Go order a something at TGI Fridays... apart from the pastas there is no main meal that comes without sides that have potatoes in them (I have to request just salad).
At most fast food restaurants all the value meals come with fries. (Kudos for Burger King for having Onion Rings as a alternative). OK fries are one of the most popular snacks in the World but I'm sure I am not the only that does not eat them.

Here's one I've noticed recently, and it's maddening. OK< I'm admittedly a rather awkward looking human, being somewhere between an oompa loompa and a peanut m&m that's been left on the dashboard of a car all day. Thus, I find my pickings in the dating world, shall we say, limited.
Now, I had come to terms with this years ago, until the last few months when it dawned on me. Now only slightly mentally unstable (read co-dependant as hell) women with bizzarre quirks find me attractive, by which I mean they're creepily obsessed with me. One, for example, is a Disney obsessed 26 year old. She's a nice person, but we have absolutely zero in common. However, no matter how many times I say, "I am your friend, period, end of story" all that gets through her brain is "you have a chance, somehow you must force me to date you". It sounds overly creepy, but she's actually used those words, "I will make you date me". Combine that with the fact that she dated a guy for six months with the sole purpose of "making me jealous", and it's beyond strange. Now, I could've written it off as an "obsessed fan" mentallity, except recently a woman at work has begun overly flirting with me. She's 40, divorced, three kids, lives with her parents, and sounds like Fran Drescher on crack. Between the bizzarre fascination she has with touching my forehead out of nowhere and telling me "I love you" at least four times this week, it's convinced me I have a problem, but am not sure what it is.

The best part is when one of your friends or family member is like "Why don't you just find a nice girl" Well not shit what do you think I am trying to do but I only seem to attract the crazy ones.

My favorite part of it is that I'm told either "she seems like a nice person, why not lower your standards" or "just hit it". First off, no, and second, if I did "just hit it", it'd wind up going all Fatal Attraction.

- People who think Rammstein are Nazis. This really pisses me off.
- Recently, this dude asked me about my girlfriend, then asked if she was in a wheelchair too. When I said she wasn't, he said "how did you end up with someone who is normal?" I could not believe he actually said that to me.
- Jackets and hats. I just can't wear them.
- When I buy a used movie or video game and it's covered with price stickers.
- People who bullshit me. I really f***ing hate this.
- People who don't believe me when I tell them my name.
- When you get a new tattoo and it's itching like crazy. I hate that.
- People who jump to conclusions about me (or anything) with very little information.
- Grocery shopping, and my total inability to do it by myself. Yes, it's wheelchair related.
- Asshole customers. I don't deal with this anymore.
- Tom Cruise and everything about him. I hate Tom Cruise with a passion. I have as long as I can remember.
- Young kids who use the internet and attempt to communicate with me. My genius friend Jess and a few others are exceptions. Most people 15 and under I've encountered on the internet are either incredibly stupid or batshit insane. Most, not all.
More later.

I really hate messageboard posters who make a habit of snitching to mods. Now, when I say snitching, I don't mean getting trolled or harassed and then letting a mod know to get the guy off your back...I mean scouring forums for wrongdoing and running to a mod to tell about something that doesn't even involve you.
What incentive is there? It's the internet, you're not getting a cookie.
Then there are the extreme kinds of informants. The ones who report posts just because they were in a debate and got chumped, or because someone posted something in the wrong forum. How sad is that?
