This is probably already on here, but:

Homework to Mordor!

Spandex. It doesn't look good on anybody. Mixed with 97% denim, sure. That makes really comfy jeans. But... a purple spandex jumpsuit? *shudder*

People who stand in the middle of a crowded hallway. Especially when they stand in clumps, and especially when those clumps stand right at the entrance to the cafeteria during lunch periods.

People right in front of you who randomly stop in the middle of a crowded hallway. Hello! People are actually trying to walk here, and when there are people on both sides of you, it's rather hard to avoid running into you.

Groups of people who walk four across in a hallway only four people wide. Maybe you don't have anywhere to go and can afford to walk with the relative pace of a snail on sandpaper, but the rest of us actually don't want to be late!

Just people in general who walk slowly and you can't get around them. I don't walk particularly fast, but I do appreciate actually being able to walk at a normal pace.

The girl whose locker is next to mine because she always opens the door all the way, even though I come to my locker just about every passing period. And not only does she open it all the way, she doesn't move it when I come to mine, so I always have to move it out of my way just so I can get into my locker.

Show nights! When you remember/find out that your term paper is due tomorrow just an hour before you have to go and be in a show! My term paper is a twenty-page research paper/schpeal on literary theory and I have to edit fifteen of those pages and write the last five of them some time tonight, but I'm going to be cloistered in a dance studio (and on stage) for the next four hours! Eek. The concept of not stressing nearly as much as I should over my paper while listening to tempermental dancers on a performance night is not appealing to me right now. Wish me luck!

Those weird feelings of selective meanness. Like, you're nice to everybody except to this one person who, in your eyes, is just plain annoying, whatever he does. And worse, you don't even completely understand why.

I don't want to be an unreasonable meanie, so off to Mordor you go.

Michigan winters I would like to send.

Sometimes the snow doesn't come 'til Christmas.

Sometimes it starts in October.

And sometimes it comes in one flippin' day, a foot and a half of snow literally in 24 hours, completely wrecking duck pens that your Dad and your siblings and yourself has been working on for weeks, covering the roads, somehow keeping the plows off the roads, making work incredibly slow, and making it necessary to clean off cars ensuing in pants that are wet up to the knee, and speech impediments due to frozen cheeks, lips and chins. And run-on sentences too.

Maybe this happens in other places also, but dangit, I have to live here, and I don't want to have to endure snow and ice until June snarkin' drat it!!

Grr.

Sorry. Now back to your regularly scheduled amusements.
