I'm sure it's been done before on other blogs, but never have you seen it done here before. Here ya' are, my top pet peeves. Of course it's not all of them-too many to list. In no order, mind you:
- Improper grammar use; mainly in writing
- When people interrupt me
- When people interrupt me to say something irrelevant
- Sore throats
- The phrase, "appreciatcha"
- Laziness
- Lying; just tell me you're not going to do something as opposed to telling me you are and then not do it
- Serious conversations through text messages
- Cats
- Olivia the cat
- Secrets
- Pranks
- Improper testimonies; i.e. "fiber of my being", "I love my roommates/girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse", stories and/or reading the scriptures-it's not a talk
- Friends who aren't real friends
- body hair-too much or the lack thereof
- "BookS of Mormon" or even worse, "Book of Mormons", let's try Copies of the Book of Mormon-yay!!
- Yay, Yeah, Ya, Ye, Yea-use them properly!
- Being called Timmy with childish overtones.
- People automatically thinking just b/c I'm the guy, everything will be alright.
- Making excuses for something instead of doing something about it.
- People taking money or not giving money that is rightfully yours
- Sales
- When people don't acknowledge politeness; if someone holds the door open, say thank you. If someone says thank you, say you're welcome. If you are going straight and someone has to step out of your way or stop so as to not collide with you, say excuse me.
- ValentiMes Day
- Shaving
So, as I began writing this list, I figured I needed to off-set it with some happy memories.
- Getting a new phone
- Getting contacts
- The first time someone told me I had a beautiful smile
- any hug
- Kissing my mom after her surgery
- Moving in with my sister
- The first time someone asked me to play piano in church
- Singing "Earth Angel" to the Homecoming queen instead of someone else singing to her
- Following the spirit in making the right decision
- having a full-time job after not having one
- Quitting my job at Ochsner
- My Dyson
- Having special friend(s) who thought to get me a Dyson
- Using my Dyson-it still makes me smile
- Hugging my parents when I got home from my mission
- Lunch dates; specifically with Heather
- Performing.
- When a girl plans a date for us
- When someone asks me to give them a blessing
- Knowing someone's full name for a blessing w/o them telling me
- My Bass Pro pillow
- The Color Purple
- Live Musicals
- Frozen Custard and the friends I eat it with
- When old friends find you and you can still talk like there was no yesterday!
