You Are Drivin' Me Nuts!

So I know most of my blogs are just updates on life. Lately they've been a little on the not-so-happy side. This one should fix that. It's going to be a little bit of complaining, but we'll try to make it fun. Here are a few things that drive me nuts, in no particular order...

1) So-Called Fans

Obviously, I'm a HUGE fan of General Hospital. Over the last year, I've met a ton of GH fans, some have become my best friends, some my worst enemies and others are the ones who I love to hate. There are also the "so-called" fans. These are the people who will Tivo GH and fast-forward through more of the show than what they actually watch. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against fast-forwarding through SOME of the show (even though this concept was unknown to me until Brenda came back last year), but if you're only watching Mabby scenes day after day, I'm sorry, you're not a GH fan, you're a Mabby fan. So I would appreciate it if you didn't claim to be a GH fan.

2) Drama Whores

Okay, so I like a little drama in my life every once in awhile. It keeps things interesting. But when you're a 40-something who gets mad at someone for a stupid reason (or no reason) and you think you need to ruin their life, you need a reality check. If you have nothing better to do than TRY to make someone's life miserable, you need a life, it's obviously not working. You're not twelve anymore honey, and you obviously have more plastic in your face than in the Barbie dolls you still carry around in your purse. Get over it and act your age.

3) Bad-Mouthing

That brings me to my next annoyance. Almost everyone I know has complained because this person called them a bad name. Yeah, it hurts in the moment, but it means nothing. Who freaking cares? I may be the only one who feels this way because I have pretty tough skin. Just about anything you can say about me, doesn't bother me. My weight, I'm a big girl, if I had a problem with it, I would fix it. My teeth, they're crooked and not white, I would like to have perfect teeth, but I don't and it doesn't bother me. My hair, usually a mess, it's been that way all my life, I've gotten used to it. My face isn't the prettiest, I've had that all my life too, feel the same way about it as I do my hair. Just because I don't like you, doesn't classify me as a "bitch." That's my prerogative, I can feel the way I want. They way I look at it, say what you want about me, because my friends and I are probably saying the same things or worse about you and your friends. Deal with it, Princess. It happens.

4) Bad Musicians

Music has always been a big part of my life. For just about any situation I get myself into, there's a song to describe the feelings I have because of that situation. I cannot stand when people say a certain artist is a horrible artist. Obviously they're not, because--in most cases--they're multi-platinum, they have a million billion fans and are at the top of the charts. If you don't like the artist, that's completely fine, dislike them all you want, but don't say they aren't any good. For example, I really don't care for Kenny Chesney, I don't dislike him, I love a few of his songs, but I wouldn't pay money to go see him in concert. He's an AMAZING artist! I will admit that, I just don't really care for the majority of his music. Now, there are some artists (as pointed out by Chad Duell) who use technology to produce music, I think that's ridiculous. That's an exception. So recap, don't say artists suck just because you don't like them, because chances are, they don't suck, you do, kind sir.

5) Grammar

So I realize that most of the time, it's honest mistakes. People don't know any better. They think "there," "their" and "they're" are freely exchangeable. This makes me want to cut out my eyeballs so I will never have to read some of these things ever again. I don't have the best grammar, but I've had quite a bit of training in spelling and grammar, so it's easier for me to notice. I really, really wish I had a red font on Facebook, just so I could go through and correct some of the mistakes I see. Another thing is the abbreviations. Text messaging has made our society dumb. Some of the things, such as "LOL" or "IDK," I understand, but when you're abbreviating EVERY SINGLE WORD, I really want to strangle you.

I hope you found this amusing. And yes, I realize I am not completely faultless, nor am I perfect. Some of the things I do probably drive you nuts too, that's okay. Go get your own blog and complain about it. That's what they're there for (see, I used "they're" and "there" correctly, it's true, look it up).
