Things I don't like.

This is not my form of bitching. This is just a list of things that bother me or something. I don't know, I'm totally out of it right now because I'm dizzy and nauseous.
Speaking of which here are some things that make me nauseous:
  • Watching someone else play a first person shooter. It's the camera angles. Portal particularly fucked with my head, but Fallout New Vegas isn't exactly Solitaire either.
  • Riding in the backseat of a car.
  • Riding in a car that's too low to the ground.
  • Reading while riding in a car (or van for that matter.)
  • Fiddling with my iPod while riding in a car.
  • Digging in my purse for Pepto-Bismol while riding in a car because I'm already nauseous makes me more nauseous, especially if I can't find it.
  • The smell of gasoline on a hot day, or the smell of automotive grease.
  • Eating eggs, popcorn, fish or melted cheese too late at night.
  • Too much sugar.
And here are some things that just bother me or that I find icky.
  • Sitting down at a computer at the library and the seat being warm.
  • Opening a bathroom stall just to see a turd or a tampon floating in the toilet.
  • Stepping in the leavings of a goose or dog.
  • My hair getting in my face when I'm trying to do something important, or when I'm trying to sleep or cuddle.
  • Bad breath, whether I have it or someone else does. Especially morning breath, coffee breath and smoker's breath.
  • Trying to drink a whole glass of (admittedly highly diluted) absinthe. I don't mind the taste of licorice in small doses but a glass full is too much. By the way, absinthe does not make you hallucinate... anymore.
  • Gatorade. Even though I have to drink it right now because I think I might be dehydrated or something, just the fact that it's so salty is gross. Now if Gatorade tasted like limes I might not mind the salt.
  • Getting really hot at night, because I can't sleep without something covering me, but I can't stay under the blanket when I'm too hot.
  • Worms. Just worms in general. They're icky. Wyrms, however, are fine.
  • Drinking out of the milk gallon. I mean, yeah, sometimes I'm too lazy to wash a glass, but the milk gets all caught up around the mouth of the jug and curdles so if you smell it it smells like it's spoiled even if you bought it yesterday. I also hate whole milk.
  • Being touched or breathed on when I'm nauseous. It makes it worse, especially if the person or their breath is warm. I need cool, fresh air, a place to lay down on my back or stomach, and maybe a glass of cold (but not ice) water.
  • When a certain very good friend of mine apologizes for everything and asks if things are okay and if she's offending anyone when she's being totally innocent and inoffensive. I love her to death, which is why this bothers me.
  • My boyfriend raging at video games, especially at Starcraft II, Team Fortress 2, Mega Man games, or the story mode from Brawl.
  • Taking a nap so I'll feel better and waking up feeling the same, but groggier and grumpier.
  • Trying to purchase something right after a nap. I can't smile, be friendly and make eye contact with the cashier like I usually do, and I always mess up my M or my ss when I'm signing the receipt.
  • Food prices at the University of Akron. A turkey wrap is HOW much?
Oh, and for a change of pace, here's a useful life hack. If you go to Starbucks, don't buy a pumpkin spice latte for God knows how much. Get a venti coffee for two dollars, which is less than a tall pumpkin spice latte. Add milk or half-n-half, the sweetener of your choice, and (here's the kicker) cinnamon and nutmeg, which should be provided free of charge (they are at the Starbucks at school.) Enjoy your "bargain spice latte"!
