Likes and Dislikes

Suddenly I got really excited thinking about things I do like (obsessively) and things that make me insanely unhappy. So I thought it would be illuminating for both me and you, dear reader, to list them out. Maybe it will help me figure out my own personal mystery.

Likes.
I will begin with "food product likes" because I just got back from CVS and I got my 3 favorite foodish things, though they aren't really food at all:

• Flavored carbonated waters. They have no calories, no sodium, nothing but artificial deliciousness. They are like 50 cents a pop, for an entire liter! and they only come in liters! and if I start to drink one, I will drink it all, because I FREAKING LOVE IT. Then I will pee constantly.
  
• Wild cherry diet pepsi. While I am crazying over drinks, this is my #2. You get the caffiene and the delicious. And it has to be diet because I am certain I will someday get diabetes/be very fat.
• Gum. Has to be minty/bubbleminty. Like trident or orbits. OOoo now stride is rising in the ranks. AND I like to chew and smack really loudly, and blow bubbles and pop them. It drives Pearce CRAZY. But I can't stop, I love it sooo much.
• Avocados + salt + sesame ak mak= love
  

Ok, Activity and Miscellaneous Likes:

• Reading excellent fiction literature and science related things. It's sort of escapist I guess, but is there anything better than reading a good book? (besides good sex).
  
• Running/excercise. I'm not kidding, this is like my favorite thing. Some people hate working out but I am so addicted to it and I love it so much.
  
• Bargain Shopping (nordstrom rack, marshalls, H&M, secret places I can't mention, etc.) I used to work at Ross Dress for Less for crying out LOUD! I will find you the BEST bargains, come shop with me. The jew strikes again! I will also drive most shopping buddies insane. No one can handle my tolerance for the search. That is my favorite part. You look and look and then you find the goods, and you are victorious! Seriously, I've got me like 20 pairs of designer jeans, I've never paid more than 50$, but most are more maxing out at $40. And these are pants that should cost upwards of $150. I've got talent, it's scary, and expensive, even if it is cheap. Because you find a bargain, you have to get it. You can't say no. NEVER.
• Jeans. As I mentioned above, I have a ludicrous number of jeans. It's a ridiculous hobby that is totally silly and wastes lots of money. But I always get them for good prices! Honest!
  
• Shoes. Uch... my closet... so many shoes. SO MANY SHOES. let's not even go here actually.
  

• Art. espence
  
• Music! Mostly happy pop stuff and Radiohead. Yeah, happy pop and paranoia.
  
• Spider Solitaire, Most difficult setting.
• People who are strange. I like to have very strange people as friends because more interesting things happen that way. I am also fascinated by super obnoxious people that are hyper-self-aware but only in a really superficial way (as in they think they are the center of the universe), but don't seem to realize that they are total ass holes and no one really cares. I'm feeling too lazy to try to explain that any better. Plus, I bet I come off like that since I fell into the self-indulgent world of the blog!! AND EVEN WORSE, I'm listing out this stuff as if anyone else would care! HAHA Joke's on you!
• Project Runway!
• TI-89
  
• Scott Bakula

Dislikes.

• Sounds of loud squeaky things. e.g. styrofoam squeaking against it self, nails on chalkboard, scraping glass. Just thinking about it makes me want to puke. If I hear these sounds, the only way to calm my nerves is to drop a blanket or something... make soft sounds... chant the word PASTE over and over and over.
  
• Unfriendliness. I mean... what's the point?
• Lists of likes and dislikes
  
• IBS (especially in the middle of a run)
  
• PMS
• MTV
  
• Having the TV on when I am trying to sleep somewhere.
  
• Newsprint. Sometimes you get that ink on your hands and then you touch your eyes and then it's all over. You are blind for 3-8 days. Or it just hurts a lot.
• Allergies! Yeah, on the eyes thing, seasonal allergies suck. And I HATE THEM. The most pretty time of the year and my nose is dripping snot nonstop for a month and my eyes are exploding out of my head and my face is itching like fire ants. FUCK YOU ALLERGIES!!!
• Weird food allergies. Sometimes apples make me sick and nauseous. It's a real thing too! See, the pollen from other nearby plants get INTO the apple while it grows, so it is loaded with the pollen that my body can't handle, and then I feel like crap. Almonds make me itch and swell, the same with cherries. And these are foods I love so I eat them anyway!! And then my tongue and lips and gums will swell and itch. Cherries especially are so devious because I will eat them nonstop and then my lips get soo huge and itchy. Pretty hot.
• Certain movies... I don't know what you call this genre, but the movies like Meet the Parents where the lead character just does stupid things which lead to massive trouble over and over again. I can't watch it, it makes my skin crawl with disgust. What is that genre called? I must know so I can avoid it like the plague.
  
• Transparent and narrowminded people.
  
• Current President George Bush
• Blue tooth headsets
• Clogged shower drains.
