Random Things I Really, Really, Don’t Love

1. Cilantro. With a passion. Apparently, I’m one of these people.

2. Green been casserole.

3. Honey Nut Cheerios, as they’re neither (1) honey nor (2) nut.

4. Closed-mindedness and lack of curiosity. The world is a majestic and wonderful and horrible place. Get out there and take it in.

5. Snakes

6. Cars in the fast/passing lane on the freeway driving significantly below the speed limit. Dan. Ger. Ous.

7. Reading biography or high fantasy. I’ve tried, and they just don’t work for me.

8. Most reality television (Exception: Project Runway)

9. The unique musk that is a hot and smelly Schnauzer. (But one look at that face and all is forgiven.)

10. Folding the laundry (At least, I assume that’s why I use the dryer as a closet.)

What don’t you love?

  • Firstly, I love — LOVE — this: “4. Closed-mindedness and lack of curiosity. The world is a majestic and wonderful and horrible place. Get out there and take it in.” Well, not the thing itself, but that you said it. YES.

    2. Iconsiderate drivers
    3. Incosiderate people
    4. People who walk really slowly in groups across a footpath or walkway, effectively blocking the throroughfare, too oblivious to let anyone past
    5. “Hey, you know… Oh, don’t worry.” *sees red*
    6. Really, really hot days (or just hot days)
    7. Self-help books

  • Seriously?!?!? But you live in the mid-west AND write romantic urban fantasy. How coud you _not_ love snakes?

    1. The misuse, by professional orators/communicators, of words like decadent, amount, decimate, jealous and lot (as in ‘a lot’).
    2. When people switch lanes without using turn signals and/or switch lanes in an intersection
    3. The active record approach to ORM (ask Jeff he can explain it to you)
    4. When people use the word ‘downtown’ to refer to any part fo the city proper
    5. When people have big dogs on those cheesy push-button retractable leashes
    6. Mouth and/or throat noises in microphones at lectures, on the phone or in recorded interviews
    7. software patents
    8. Sweet Tea — I was born in the south and what they do to tea is offensive. I like a nice Japanese early spring green tea (shincha) or yerba mate.
