What was your random act of kindness today?
Submitted by Cher Cabula.
I didn't shoot the neighbor's damn carpool for honking their horn under my window at 7:00 a.m. AGAIN.
Why do you blog?

Because I am a narcissist and I know everyone is waiting with bated breath for everything I have to say...
What are your first thoughts upon waking?

They're never pleasant on any day, but today, since they involved the neighbor's carpool honking under my bedroom window at 6:30 a.m. AGAIN, they were:
God%^$%$#%^& it you *&^%&* mother&^$%&&^, SHUT UP!!!!!1!!!!!!ELEVEN!!!11!!
What could we do to create a world with less violence?
Well, if I was suddenly crowned Queen of the Universe and could do absolutely anything (for the good of the universe), I would neutralize the intoxicating effects of alcohol.
That is to say, I would make it impossible to get drunk.
It would save the lives of a whole bunch of innocent drivers and domestic violence victims.
There would also be no more drunken rampages after every Super Bowl/Stanley Cup/World Series/insert-sporting-event-here. No more drunken, neighborhood-destroying frat parties. No more drunken riots at rock concerts. No more damn fools protesting a drinks ban at the Tube by getting drunk and destroying the place. (How stupid was that? Did they really intend to demonstrate to the whole world WHY the ban was needed?)
Has anyone ever done something so horrible to you that "I'm sorry" couldn't fix it?
Well, she hasn't apologized, and she probably wouldn't, even if I bothered to tell her that I was pissed. Which I won't, because what would be the point? She'd probably just laugh.
But I'm still stung by a comment my mother made to me about three years ago. She basically told me that I couldn't possibly have anything to contribute to a discussion on abortion because I'm an old maid (her exact words).
What is most annoying is that we weren't even discussing abortion. We were talking about something entirely different. But when mom gets on one of her hobby horses, she's gonna ride it. Right over the top of you, if she has to.
Anyway, it made it clear that she doesn't respect me and obviously views me as a child or some poor schmuck who can't even land myself a husband.
Thanks, mom...
What's the one thing you're most neurotic about?
Cleanliness. I hate sticky. I eat pizza with a fork, for crying out loud. I have to have napkins, no matter what I'm eating, and I don't eat really messy stuff, like ribs, because I don't like getting the gunk all over my fingers.
Also, ragged fingernails irritate me, and that's why it's driving me nuts that I can't find a decent emery board. They're too coarse, and after three uses, they're worn so smooth that they don't work at all. Argh!
What is the worst date you've ever been on?
I was college age, and the guy was way too old for me anyway (he had teenaged kids). He snarked at me for opening the car door myself instead of waiting for him to come around and open it for me. He practically ordered for me at the restaurant.
And it was on this date that I discovered that belches really smell...
