I Should Have Known… (Recognition of the signs that things aren’t meant to be…)
I should have known that my marriage was not going to last the first time I looked at the sleeping face of Mr Horrible and I wanted to smother it with a pillow. Why did I have this murderous impulse? Because he was drunk, and when Mr Horrible is hammered, the way he breathes when he is sleeping makes me want to pull out his hair… or smother him with a pillow. It’s this annoying exhalation when he is so drunk that his flaccid lips flap as he breathes out. It is the MOST ANNOYING SOUND in the world. More annoying than the annoying song on YouTube.

Tales from the High Road…
I consider it a gross abuse of my kindness and familial obligation to be tardy to an event you have asked me to help you with. OMG!

I am bored with having to sift through the “top news”, which is really just the inane mental vomit of the people I know, to get to the one or two actually meaningful status updates from other people I know.

Movie Tropes That Get On My Nerves
First off, let me just say, I am all for watching movies. It’s one of my favorite hobbies, right up there with reading and cooking. If I watch a movie, unless it’s terrible, I usually can finish the movie. However, movies with themes that involve weak females will ruin that movie immediately. I just want to know why?
