25 Things I Don't Care About
1. Politics - Bores the shit out of me and I really don't care. I can't change anything about it, so why bother getting my knickers in a knot over it? Plus - boring.
2. Mobile Phones - Jeebus, the way people obsess over these things is insane. "OMFG, my phone's more than 6 months old, I have to get a new one! This one still works perfectly, but it doesn't look as shiny, and it doesn't have some completely useless feature I don't need! And OMG, ring tones! I need more ring tones, because not being able to change my tone every 5 seconds will render it completely unusable! And holy fuck, I just took a crap! I have to text someone and tell them all about it NOW!!!!"
3. Reproducing - No, I don't need children of my own to feel fulfilled in life. Moving right along…
4. The War on Terror - What a load of bullshit, George W. is the biggest terrorist of them all. Nobody is on the "good" side in this particular fight.
5. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes - For the love of Pete, why is this considered news? To all local news shows - I don't need an update every time one of them leaves the house, mmmkay? Yes, he's batshit insane and she's a simpering, brainwashed idiot - I still don't care.
6. Britney Spears - Yes, she's a white trash moron, but you know what? My mother drove a car with her kids unrestrained many times. She also accidentally dropped us on occasion or didn't pay enough attention to stop us from getting hurt. All the same stupid things that Britney's done, but no-one ragged on my mother about it. So give the girl a break. And I'm sure her kid is fine. I sustained 5 serious head injuries by the time I was 7, and turned out perfectly okay.
7. Sport - Yay. So-and-so beat so-and-so. This affects me how? Booooorring. *snore*
8. The Gay Agenda - For the love of God, homosexuals are not hellbent on destroying marriage, the family and our way of life. Idiot heterosexuals who divorce after 5 minutes because they get bored, are doing plenty to destroy the "sanctity" of the nuclear family all on their own - just look at Hollywood. And if you don't like queers, blame straight people - they're the ones who keep having gay babies.
9. Gaming - I honestly don't understand this obsession. I played a little bit of old school Nintendo back in the day, but it was mostly just something to do when I was bored. I went 8 years without playing any video or computer games at all, then last year, I baby-sat a little boy who made me play some dumb game with him. I was bored out of my skull after 2 goes. I couldn't win, so what was the point? And the kid forced me to keep playing - it was like fucking water torture.
10. Big Brother - Does Channel 10 play any other show these days? Every single time I tune in, it's Big Brother. Yay. A bunch of moronic, slutty, bitchy attention-whores, being praised and exulted for every human trait that I despise. And this is how humanity truly went down the gurgler.
11. Home and Away - Not only is it a shitty soap, but if I have to see one more over-dramatised, cliffhanger, "the episode you've been dying to see" promo for it, I am going to put my foot through the fucking television. No, I don't care if so-and-so cheated on her boyfriend or if what's-his-face died in the 5 billionth tornado to hit that town in the past year.
12. Fashion - Some of the things my sisters wear are completely hideous. They don't seem to understand that just because something's "in" doesn't mean it isn't dog-ass fugly. As long as I'm comfortable, and don't look too slobbish or freakish, I don't give a shit what I wear.
13. Mormans/Jehovah's Witnesses/Fundie Born-Again Christians - No, I don't want to hear more about your faith. Get the fuck off my doorstep.
14. MySpace - Aside from the annoying, whiny, emo kids, it has the slowest-loading and most annoyingly-difficult-to-navigate pages on the Internet, and you're subjected to someone else's crap taste in music every time you look at their profile.
15. Meta Rants - I may be curious about what someone has to say, if I know that person is reasonably intelligent and not a complete tard, but I'm never going to read someone else's word as gospel and be drawn into a flame war over it if I happen to disagree. Life's too short and fandom's too fun.
16. Internet Predators - Parents; if you are too lazy or ignorant to keep a damn eye on what your kids are doing on the Net, you have no-one to blame but yourselves. It is also your fault if you don't teach your kids the simple basics of Internet safety, and they end up being complete morons who believe everyone is who they say they are, and meeting someone in a non-public place, without telling anyone else, is perfectly okay. Don't expect net-nannies and other people to raise your damn kids for you.
17. Manga/Anime/Japanese crap that I don't really know anything about, and have no desire to learn because I don't care - Yaoi fanbrats of the world; anime drawings are not cute - they're bloody ugly, and those huge eyes creep me out. Oh, and people don't look like that in real life, so please don't attempt to write "original fiction" and describe every second character as having blue/red/purple hair and silver/violet eyes. And randomly slip Japanese words into their dialogue. It's not clever or cute, it's extremely lame.
18. Pro-life organizations - What a woman does with her uterus is her own damn business. 77% of anti-choice activists are men - 100% of them will never be pregnant. Anti-choice is misogyny.
19. Dogs - I can appreciate a really cute dog, and coo over dogs that belong to my friends, but dogs in general I just don't like. And despite what others have said, this isn't strange behaviour or something I need to fix. I generally find dogs to be either boring, or violence-inducingly annoying, and most of them are ugly. (Can you tell I'm a cat person? *g*)
20. Weddings - All this pomp and bullshit, and insane amounts of money, for a ceremony that generally lasts five minutes, and isn't that entertaining to begin with. Personally, I'll either be eloping or getting married at a celebrant's house with just my parents as witnesses. And I'll be wearing something comfortable. And no reception - those things are the absolute worst part of weddings. I'd rather go off with my husband right after the ceremony and get straight to the consummatin'.
21. Fundies who think I'm going to hell for practicing witchcraft - Boo hoo, I'll be sure to drop you a line from the fiery pits.
22. The Importance of Family - Just because I'm related to someone doesn't mean I have to like them, love them or make sacrifices for them. If I think you're an asshole, the fact that we share a few genes isn’t going to change that, no matter what bullshit my mother spouts.
23. The Royal Family - Do those people actually do anything? No. So I don't need to hear about them. And who cares if Harry's a pot head - it's not like he has anything better to aspire to.
24. Pre-marital Sex - Forget this "saving yourself" bullshit, I am a huge advocate of try before you buy - it's just common sense. And you should always live with some before you get married too. I know from experience that even people you thought you knew well, turn into completely different beings once you're under the same roof.
25. Drug Dependence for Medical Conditions - Some people need medication in order to be able to function properly. It's not a weakness, or something they should be trying to "beat", just a simple fact of life. So stop asking me when I'm going to go off anti-depressants, because I'll most likely be on them for the rest of my life. And I'm perfectly okay with that Tom Cruise!

Re: just friended ya ,hope ya don't mind

Date: 2006-05-22 01:03 pm (UTC)yeah, I once knew a guy that turned me off men for a while
(no subject)
Date: 2006-05-20 01:06 pm (UTC)*loves your list* Well, except for the dog part.
(no subject)
Date: 2006-05-22 01:02 pm (UTC)In a heartbeat, *g*. And I think I offended just about every PC-type thing in the world with my list, but I just knew the only thing I'd get crap for was the dogs! LOL. It's not my fault - I'm naturally a cat person, but I used to be ambivalent about dogs. Then my family got an absolute bastard of a mutt, who I would gladly see burn in flaming pits of hell, and she turned me off dogs forever. (Luckily after 2 nightmarish years, we managed to offload her on my sister who has a farm - praise the lord!).

Date: 2006-05-20 02:19 pm (UTC)And how can you find dogs boring?!... The funniest thing in the world is rolling around in the grass with a dog whom you wanna tickle and who wants to bite your nose off. Just like with a cat who's idea of fun is sticking her claws in the palm of your hand and biting your fingers.
(no subject)
Date: 2006-05-22 01:13 pm (UTC)Dogs are boring (but mostly just irritating) because all they want to do is play. I'm not a 'play'-type person. Like playing fetch - you throw the ball and the dog brings it straight back to you, repeat ad nauseum. I'm bored by the second round.
That's why I like cats - they mostly take care of themselves, and go off and do their own thing. Dogs are constantly clamouring for your attention, yapping, jumping up on you, trying to trip you over and basically not leaving you alone. You know those people who are just so unbearably perky - enthusiastic and energetic and excited by absolutely everything? Those people annoy the fuck out of me. And dogs are just like those people.

Well, like I said, it was a meme I stole off someone, I didn't make it up. Although maybe I will do an opposite list another time.
(no subject)
Date: 2006-05-22 02:24 pm (UTC)7. Oh, but I like sport! Soccer (Bayern Munchen, Chelsea, hate Real Madrid), Fomula 1 (the Schumachers, Alonso, and Co), snooker (Dott and O'Sullivan), gymnastics, any and all winter sports... Yeah, EuroSport is my fifth favourite channel ever! LOL
15. Personally, I just usually avoid them. Meh
17. Ugh, well, you're certainly chipper this fine day! :-x I actually rather like the big-eyed thing. Can't say I read any fiction of the kind, but RTL 2 (German) used to show Japanese cartoons and the kid was enough into them that I got to watch some too. Sure, Tom&Jerry are still funnier, but there was something in the vague comi-y feel that I liked. *shrug* To each his own.
19. Cats rule, dogs drool! LOL Never had a dog, never wanted one. Love cats, though! They're smart and make you almost want to make them like you. Which is crazy, because they're still just animals, but it feels like and honour when a cat lets me scratch it's ears after staring at me for five minutes in the odd, measuring way I've seen on them.
20. Can't help but wonder if you'd be thinking the same way if you'd be in head-over-heels love with the guy... Not saying you should want the pomp... just thinking...
Love you, sis. Now go make a '25 things I care about' list! *smooch*
polygamy?
Date: 2006-09-13 06:36 pm (UTC)Re: polygamy?
Date: 2006-09-17 11:06 am (UTC)LOLZ - not many. As in zero. Dang! *g*
Sure you can friend me - I finally got around to reading 'toby in Wonderland', and it's awesome! I'd been fearing it was going to be like some other crappy, 'let's rewrite a movie in the exact same way, just with fandom characters instead of the real ones' fics that I've seen before - but it's actually really clever and engaging. So I guess that should teach me not to be so cynical! LOL.
