It Is Now August, So Here is a List of Some Things That Annoy Me.

1. What temperature is it?!

It is summer. Therefore, you sweat your face off outside and you freeze to death inside. What does one wear in such conditions? I still haven't figured this out. Unfortunately, I feel as though the only solution is to wear summer clothing indoors but to then invest in a lovely snuggie, so you can go about your day as usual, without dying of the cold.


[they look so comfortable and climate-controlled.]

2. People on tumblr who blog about the same topics over and over.

I know, I know, "if you don't like their blogs, unfollow them"... but some of these people are my friends so I feel obligated. So I suppose I will scroll like a mad woman past all of the Harry Potter and Dr. Who postings. I just do not understand why you need to post, like, seven million of the same thing. We are all aware that you enjoy a little wizarding magic Harry Potter-ness, but we do not need captioned pictures of every single character over and over. For instance, I personally enjoy the sport of dance. However, I do not inundate others' blogs with multitudes of pictures of ballerinas because I know that one or two of such pictures gets the point across that I enjoy dancing. Done. Bam. Lauren likes dancing. We don't need this:


[AHH I LOVE DANCE.]

[DANCE IS FREAKING GREAT!!!]

[OMG IT IS MY LIIIIIFE. I AM SO INTENSE.]

[I LIKE DANCE SO MUCH I UPLOADED A PICTURE OF A SNOW GLOBE.]

3. Books on Tape.

Books on tape are impossibly obnoxious. Why can't you just read the stinkin' book?? I'm sure I hate them because, in my house, I do not listen to them, but my mother does so I am constantly hearing some random narrator man screaming from another room: "AND THEN SHE LOOKED HIM IN THE EYES AND ALL OF THE SADNESS OF THE WORLD FELL UPON HER SHOULDERS AND SHE SOBBED 'NO! I CAN'T GO ON WITHOUT YOU!!!'" and blah blah blah...

[Life is so hard...]


Welcome to August.
