Alright. Some things piss me off. And there's a lot of them. So park yourself down, cause you're about to be bombarded with... 'The Ranting Zone Journal Entry of Doom'

Things That Piss Me Off
1. Homework Over Summer Break
Perhaps it's the procrastinist in me, but I think homework over summer break is a cruel and unusual punishment. Especially when you're like me, and put it all off until two days ago. And when you have to read...
2. Things Fall Apart
Thanks a lot, Chinua Achebe. Thanks for creating a 'masterpiece' that will be forced down the throats of students everywhere. And it doesn't help that my school keeps pushing us to be overachievers and assigns us a book that my Scottish cousin didn't read until she was in college for a summer assignment for 9th grade.
And it turns out the book doesn't get any better once we're sitting in a room analyzing it to death! Who would've thunk it? Having an English teacher named PoPo telling everyone that she's going to fail us if we don't put our hand up and make some effort, for Christ's sake(well, more or less; I may be paraphrasing) doesn't make the book any easier.

or Role Players who use their characters to voice their own opinions. Now, I'm fine with creating a character who's a vegetarian if you're a vegetarian. Hell, I did that once, and I don't want to be a hypocrit, now do I? But don't use every spare second you have to point it out. In fact, don't do this in real life, either. It's annoying to be having an up-until-then intelligent roleplay, and all of a sudden there's a personal view not-so-subtley woven into the post. Observe:
(Character A), being a vampire and all, bit (Character C) on the neck.
(Character B) sighed. She doesn't eat meat, and thought it was disgusting to even think about blah, blah, blah.
Obviously, if this were to happen, it wouldn't be nearly as short or simple. But it's bad to clutter up useless space. Like I'm doing right now.
4. Orlando Bloom
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he's an okay guy who isn't some sort of child molester. But his fangirls piss me off.
(Can you tell I'm a Johnny Depp fan?)
Yah, okay, so I hang out with one or two Orlie fans. And we don't bother them about it(much...). We simpley tote along a couple of manga volumes or a portable DVD player(normally perpetually playing the South Park episode It Hits The Fan where they say 's**t' 162 times uncensored) and leave them in the corner while we watch Johnny.
This pet peeve, however, has a valid reason: On our 10-hour car trip home from North Carolina, we brought a car DVD player. My brother watched the first 2 Lord of the Rings movies in a row, and I was left with nothing to do but watch 6 hours of Orlie screaming, or my homework.
5. Freddy Kreuger
Okay, so I happen to have enough sense to know that Freddy Kreuger is a much, MUCH cooler villian than Jason, and should've won Freddy V. Jason. But he manages to scare the hell out of me.
I think it dates back to some childhood memory of watching a Freddy commercial, or some clip from the movie. All I know is that he's pretty much the scariest fictional child killer turned superpowered maniac I've ever heard of.
Plus, he has his own TV show. And that gives him even more power.
6. The Computer I'm on Right Now
It won't let me type 'mur derer.' I tried. Why else would I say 'child killer' in numero 5? See, I will type 'm u r d e r e r' without the spaces, and all that shows up is 'er.'
It's also very slow, and won't let me see people's profiles. It just kinda loads half of them, and then switches to a 404 message.
And now that I'm editing this one, I scroll up and see 5 spaces before the suffix -er. And if I look farther, I see 'some things that really (4 spaces) me off' and (4 spaces)arded.' I'll have to fix it once I'm either back at my mom's house, or Neil gets off the good computer. But really, get a life, computer.
Last time this happend, I couldn't type 'girl.' eek
I'm bored. I'm gonna go get some milk.
