Top Three Things That Annoy Me Most
1. When people interrupt me for stupid reasons while I'm practicing/playing the piano
2. When people step on the backs of my flip flops while walking behind me
3. When single guys talk incessently about their crush.
I love it when guys that have girlfriends talk about them, and how amazing they are, and how much they care for them - I just HATE it when a single guy is obsessed with a girl that he's not dating. In my mind, if she's so great, why don't you ask her out, and THEN tell me about it. And if she's not good enough to date, then I don't want to hear about her. And if you DID ask her out and she said no, then she probably wasn't that great, and I don't want to hear about your pity party. It's a lose/lose situation.
But ya know, it would be one thing if this poor devoted guy wouldn't shut up to his buddies about his devotee, but when he talks about her to his girls, that's just too much. I'm sorry, I just don't want to hear about how in love you are with a girl, even if I don't like you in that way at all. I don't want to hear about all the reasons she is so much better than me, even if I would never date you. (Although, the closer the friend is, and the higher I think of him, the more I don't want to hear about his crushes.) It's just annoying. Please be considerate to girls with poor self-esteem and keep your girl talk for your guy talks.

Silly Things I Love
So maybe it's girly, but I love doing laundry. Now before you fall on the ground in a dead faint, let me explain...
I love that it's a chore, yet so relaxing. Think about it: you dump your clothes in the machine, add the soap, insert your quarters, and walk away! No more work required for at least 45 minutes, which means you can go get something else done (like take a nap, a shower, or if you're really ambitious, some other form of work) yet you're still getting your clothes clean. I tell you, it is truly multi-tasking at it's finest. But it doesn't stop there - oh no - it gets better! When the timer goes of, you simply transfer your wet (but squeaky clean) clothes to the drier and go back to your previous distraction (nap, shower, etc.) But THEN (get this) when the drier timer goes off, that resounding, beautiful "beep beep beep," you get to skip down the hall to collect your prize for all your "hard work:" your clean, dry, and very warm clothes. Now here's the best part. When you get back to your room you have one of two choices: option number one is to dump them in a pile on the floor, pop in a favorite movie or cd, sit on your couch/futon and fold. (That's a chore?!) Option number two is my personal favorite though: dump your fuzzy, soft, clean, warm clothes on your bed and burry yourself in them as you go back to your nap. See? Isn't it amazing? I can't believe I complained about it as a kid. Just goes to show that I now appreciate the finer things in life.
