Things that grate...me


Ok, so ideally looking for a picture of a proper grater with the writing underneath having nothing to do with an actual grater, would be art right? I don't know about these things....so instead I behold a picture of a gate made up of metal flowers leading into the botanical gardens in Edinburgh. That'll do,pig, that'll do...

Conversation in London tends to be mainly about the weather or complaining about...well anything. It can get pretty boring listening to it. I try to keep positive but lets face it,we all have those few dark demons that lurk within our 'crazy zone' that sometimes just seep out into the land of the 'normal'. I have chosen to share a few, not to annoy you but rather to embrace them and have a laugh (probably at my expense):
* One thing that truely drives me nuts is when someone finds the need to stick their tongue out to grab the food off their eating utensil, instead of just USING the utensil to bring the food into the mouth. The tongue may be the strongest muscle in the body but do I really want to see it in all its purple-alien-and-often-not-cleaned-with-a-toothbrush-glory? especially if I am eating a meal too...um..no..I knew this girl who used think licking her food(or drink) before tasting it was sexy...clearly she has scarred me for life and should be shot as a result(or better yet...licked to death by a giant slobbery tongue)

* From anatomy to subtle repetitive noises and gestures....It's amazing how something so small can feel so enormous, even in something as noisy as a bar. I don't know what kind of radar was installed in me at birth but I die a painful death inside if I am in the presence of annoying sounds or gestures ...examples: clicking pens(or jaws for that matter), constantly stroking hands(makes my skin crawl),bouncing legs(made worse if it makes the table wobble in time with it) and of course the ever dreaded slurping noises(I'm all for one big giant satisfying slurp of a milkshake but that's about as far as this bus goes).

*Vanity and conversation, together...don't mix. Don't do it. It drives me bonkers("whoah! totally nuts.."love that cartoon)when people are conversing(oh yes big word, heil me!) but sit and talk to their own reflection instead of looking at me. It's usually about this time I give up and start talking about how I caught Roger Rabbit and now we talk about pilates and his new big blue bowtie...most of the time they aren't listening anyway.

That's my sharing...that's what blogs are about right?saying all that I think it's time for my dose of Curb your Enthusiasm...Larry gets me, I know he does.
