The Wrong Side of Bed

Types of people that are annoying:

1) People who quite obviously like to have all the attention in the room focused on them. For instance, those people who will "accidentally" cause some sort of disruption during class and then act like all surprised that everyone is looking at them, but are clearly feeling very pleased about it. These people are like cats. I like cats, but people shouldn't act like them.

2) People who moan while the professor is lecturing. I initially suspected this kid had Terrets, now I just think that he has mistaken the prof for a preacher. And he doesn't even do this when a really nice point is being made, where I can see someone would say "ahhh". No, he does it every three minutes, and its more like an amen, than anything else. Save it for church, buddy.

3) People who can't stand swearing. It may be a sin, but its not any worse than being a judgmental prude. John 8:7, bitches.

4) People who swear in every sentence. I especially hate it when high school girls do this, and you can just tell that they are doing it to be all cool and rebellious and to get attention.

5) People who constantly say "Jesus" and aren't even a little aware that it might be offensive. Yes, its a normal habit, and I don't consider it wash your mouth out with soap offensive, but at the same time, I know people would nearly crucify me for my political incorrectness if I went around saying "Mohammed" or "Siddhartha" in place of "shit" or "fuck".

6) People who are convinced that homosexuality is a sin. This elite group includes my parents and most of my extended family. Yes, I've read the Bible, so don't lecture me on whatever passage you think sets it out oh so clearly that the gays are going to hell. But just stop for a minute and think about it. Does it make sense at all that homosexuality would be a sin? That some people would just simply not be allowed to fall in love? My mom says "it's like a disability, God doesn't want people to be blind, but nevertheless some people have to live without their eyesight anyway." That's bogus...gay people clearly have the ability to fall in love. Plus where do you draw the line anyway. At gay sex? Are they allowed to live together without *gasp* touching? And if they can't live together, can they love eachother even if they don't act on it? And if they're are not supposed to love, then how is that even possible. And since when is Christianity going to say that some people are allowed to love and experience being loved in return, but others aren't. It just doesn't make sense, and I wish people would just get their heads out of their asses and realize that even if absurdly, God did mean homosexuality to be a sin, effectively excluding gays from churches is much much worse. It erks me that its not just the historically hypocrital Catholic church that is involved in this...even some of the most liberal, pacifist, accepting churches still stubbornly sanction homophobia with their policies on homosexuality.

7) People who complain too much.....mwahahaha...myself obviously included.
