WYFP: Rage of Goldfish Edition

What's my fucking problem? Well thanks for asking.

Hey gang. I know Pastordan usually posts these, but I got tired waiting, and I really need to let lose. I figuer I have enough FPs to fill their own diary, I might as well make one.

Head below the flip for my FPs.

My FPs are as follows.

-I'm in my twenties, and in the last week (last two weeks really) have been reduced to feeling like I'm fourteen years old.

-That I still get involved with women who any normal person would stay the Hell away from (though I must say, I am doing better at this. Three years ago they were psychotic fabricators and recovering drug addicts. Girls with unresolved emotional issues are a major improvement for me).

-The fact that I have become uncomfortable using the term "girls" for female members of my peer group, but don't quite feel comfortable with "women" either. This is because

A) At the median age for girls in my circle of friends, girls applies better then women to some
of them (and I'm obsessive about using the best word available)

B) "Women" still conjures up images of someone in a position of authority over me who I should call ma'am

C) changing my word usage would mean admitting how old I've actually become (when I sure don't feel my age).

-SUVs. I was out in the western suburbs of Chicago yesterday, when I came to a stop sign, and turned right. The car that passed by me at a stop sign was an SUV. As I drove down the street, that SUV was followed by five or six others, in a row. Not one other car type broke the line, there are just that many of these gas gulping monsters in that area! And considering that most of these monstrosities cost forty grand easy, 2.55 for gas is nothing
to these fuckers. Peak oil Ho!

-Misogyny, homophobia, and any other kind of assed-out stupid jackassery. I don't think there's actually been an upswing of it on Kos this week. I think I've just happened to be around at the right time to see it. Well fuck you creeps. I've had a bad couple weeks, and anyone who pulls that shit when I'm around is going to hear from me. I'm not going even try to play nice, with deadpan putdowns and snarky quips. This particular brand of bad
behavior will be met both barrels blazing! And if you cross me on this, don't assume I'm only sticking up for my "group." I'm a straight white male, who was raised Protestant, with ancestors who faught in the Revolutionary War. If I was a Republican instead of a Democrat, I'd be ruling.. I mean running the country. If I come down on you it's because I like fairness, and hate stupidity. Got it?

-Not hearing from someone you usually hear from regularly for a week. Maybe some people can deal with it, but my obsessive streak kicks in after the forth day or so and it really can bother me.

-The Mayor of Chicago. Fuck this guy. At a time when Democrats need to be campaigning nationally against corruption, this guy's getting his administration taken apart piece by piece by the same guy who's rattling Bushco's cage. Undercutting Durbin was bad enough, but there were local political considerations in play -I could forgive that. But this shit is just stupid. I hope as soon as Fitz hands down the indictments on Rove et al, he hands down the one for Richard "You can answer your own question" Daley.

-Bathroom scales. According to the one I have, I lost two pounds, then gained three, then lost seven, then gained back four, all in the course of two days. I'm ready to go Office Space on that piece of junk.

And lastly,

-Realizing how much someone means to your life only after they disappear from it. (awww, ain't that cute)

So let's hear it from you all: WYFP?
