    Kind of like those 'writers' that want to write but instead Lord it over others on internet writing forums in some quasi-intellectual hierarchy, purporting to offer absolutes in a creative field with no distinctive boundaries.

    Can't tell if you're trying to insult me here or not, but if so, pretend you're a man and say so.

    Haha, that was a tenuous link, but the rant made me laugh.

    I was just about to say, I'm a little annoyed that we're ten pages in and no one has said anything snarky yet...

    But I think that just happened :p

    Absolutely not @stevesh. Don't give it the big un sitting behind your keyboard in Nowheresville, Arizona. If I wanted to call you out personally, I would.
    That was more of a general annoyance. Those to whom it applies will make their own minds up. Big man.

    I keep thinking of things. I'm a little annoyed at how many things annoy me..

    When I'm sitting in my house with my husband and roommate... and no one is talking until I open a book. Then suddenly, "OMG, I want to talk to you ALL THE TIME!"

    And somehow, they don't realize they're annoying me until I dramatically close my book and drop it on the table. "Oh, were you reading?"

    Nnnoooo......

    You have a husband and a roommate? Or are they the same person mentioned in two different capacities?

    Seek (through the wealth of evidence in the forums) and ye shall find.

    I'm not sure, either, but it may be those of us who insist on pointing out that others' 'experimental' masterworks written right to left in stream-of-consciousness style will never find a publisher.

    The Qur'an?

    If so, that's a bit racist.

    [Edited to add]

    I know that's not directed at me @stevesh as I've published no such pieces, here or otherwise.

    When people derail threads to pick at each other.

    You know what inexplicably annoys me? Not getting my alerts on watched threads on this site. Which means I have to go into each forum individually to see if there are any recent responses, which gives me even more unneeded excuses to procrastinate!

    Wait. There's a dog in your pic, dark. So, does the dog get along with, or even like the cat(s)?

    That's not a dog, that's a horse that purrs.

    @Darkkin, is she really that big?

    I think one of that cat's relatives ended up homeless here in the states. LOL.



    Watch the ending. Pinky gets his revenge for being put on a leash.

    Yes, I have both. lol Me, my husband (boyfriend at the time), and a friend of his signed a lease in November. Boyfriend proposed in December. We were married by February.

    When you buy an expensive fat-bastard chocolate mousse from the supermarket, and rather than having that pleasant cocoa bitterness it just tastes like a disgusting pot of sugar. On the bright side it saves me eating unnecessary calories.

    The Koran is written in stream-of-consciousness? Jesus, I can't even slog my way though the Bible.

    Not at you, no. Mostly I'm just paddling furiously to try to keep up with what the hell we're talking about here.

    Nah, at least I assume it isn't. It is written right to left however, as is all literature written in Hebrew. Went off on a slight tangent the other day. Let's draw a veil over it and move briskly on. ;)

    Actually the Quran is written in Arabic, which is a whole different writing system . . .

    Inexplicably annoyed by this online note left by the Special Ed teacher I subbed for today:

    " . . . Be personable with kids, they will respond." (She left out the article.)

    Grrrrrr!!! Thanks, lady. Now I know not to come in there with the whips and handcuffs and beat them all into submission!
