Failures and personal peeves (incomplete) ( Cita's challenge)

[Sandra Davies]

Failures

Well the first might be that I drink too much wine and then try and write sense.

Others include that I don’t listen well enough – and interrupt people who ARE on my wavelength out of grateful relief, and I lack conversation (I’m fine if spoken to but cannot think of what to say to start ...)   Can’t ask questions – or even think of them until a couple of days later.  Result is  I am  can appear  boring and self-centred which, allied to my HUGE inability to understand social interaction makes me a bit of a P.I.B.

Wear jeans far too tight so bulge muffin-like above them, which I DO notice but choose to ignore whereas I mostly fail to notice muddle or mess or dirt.   I also lack balance or an ability to hurtle downhill – child’s slide or a mountain.

Cannot defend myself without crying and would rather drink wine and eat chocolate than cook a ‘proper’ meal 60% of the time – partly because I’m not good at cooking.

Personal peeves

Emotive headlines, television, anthropormorphism, chillis, and religion, especially when it’s evangelical, or paraded as superior.

People who claim to have been born to shop and/or equate material goods with success.

Being categorised by age or status dependent upon others (e.g. ‘grandmother climbs Everest’ – what the fuck has it to do with being a grandmother!!!)

People who pay insincere compliments in order to be liked

People who tell me “you think too much” (because they usually lack brains themselves)

People who think it’s OK to lie to claim financial benefits and there’s definitely more but I’llstop at 6. lest I sound moaning and complaining.

Grinning at you.  Conversation or no, I am eager to meet you.  "Cannot defend myself without crying" makes me love you already.  Me, too!

[Teresa]

Last night for "dinner" I drank some cherry vodka then chased it down with dark chocolate and Reeses Pieces.  And yeah, I ignore my jeans being too tight.  They shrink when we don't wear them enough, right?

Your first peeve was so eclectic!  Beautiful.

Tight jeans, an endless wine glass and a chocolate lover. I love you already!
