A Concise List of Things I Enjoy (and Hate)
Revised 10/4/08
I enjoy being pale.
I hate followers.
I enjoy originality.
I hate the word "like" when it's, like, used after, like, every, like, word.
I enjoy reading books so long, you can barely hold them in one hand.
I hate conceitedness.
I enjoy optimism.
I hate those who joke about wanting to kill/injure themselves (i.e., "I SERIOUSLY want to kill myself right now. I SERIOUSLY cannot handle taking a 5-point Reading Check quiz that is worth about .3 percent of my grade--even though I'll probably never remember my sheer wretchedness at this moment a few years from now. I. Still. SERIOUSLY. Want. To. Die").
I enjoy writing stories that make others laugh.
I hate being late.
I enjoy listening to music (on YouTube) while writing.
I('m beginning to) hate vampire novels. (Seriously, they're EVERYWHERE now. Back when I first picked up the beautiful Twilight in '05, it was NOTHING like this. Now it's a freaking epidemic.)
I (primarily) enjoy alternative music, but I do fancy some techno/'70's/'80's music on occasion.
I hate (HATE, HATE, HATEEEE) "Hey There, Delilah" by Plain White T's. (I mean, I loved it when it came out, oh, FOUR YEARS AGO. Now I hate it oh, OH so much. End of story.)
I enjoy(ed) New Amsterdam -- when it was on the air, that is. HOW COULD THEY HAVE CANCELED THAT AWESOMENESS? Seriously.
I hate the cold -- and getting all bundled up in sweats and sweatshirts, just to be in my own HOUSE. Plus, I always feel like I have to store up fat for the winter...
I enjoy the Classics (i.e., Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, The Scarlet Letter). Something appeals to me about the purity of life/love back then. I mean, Mr. Rochester wouldn't have been all up and grinding his gurl, Jane, at a club, right? And Elizabeth wouldn't have been texting Mr. Darcy that they "shld ttly get 2gether @ his plce," either.
