I really like the word enigma.
I'll tell YOU what's a bitch... people. Here's a list of things pissing me off right now.
1. Santa Cruz folk. During tonight's discussion, several people in my film class used the word "society". In response, I stood up with a chainsaw in one hand and my dignity in the other, and I yelled "I will end you." It takes a real ego to use that word. Nine times out of ten, they're refering to society as if they aren't a part of it, as if they are somehow separated from the community around them. Therefore, they implicitly berate anyone who is part of this foreign entity known as "Society". I think they need to realize they're just as feeble-minded as every other American. You hear that, hippies? Start pulling your head out of your ass.
2. Incense stores. They sell incense with these weird names, like Patchoulli, or Nag Champa, and expect people like me to know what the hell they smell like. Hypothetically speaking, it'd be a good idea to have sample sticks out for people to smell so they know what they're looking at. They could at least do that for the varieties that have weird names. But this would be impossible, even if they did have samples, because they burn incense in the store, and it's impossible to smell anything else.
3. Halo 2. That game had the shittiest ending I've ever seen. I don't care what you freaks say: that was a terrible ending. Most bad movies have better endings than that. In fact, it wasn't an ending at all. There was absolutely no resolution. I kill scores of Covenant/human/Flood troops and all I get to show for it is Master Chief saying "I'm here to finish the fight." For those of you who haven't played the game, think about the Matrix. Imagine if they had ended the movie after Neo dodges bullets. Immediately after he dodges bullets. I'm not talking about soon after, I mean RIGHT after that happens. In other words, Neo bends back, dodges bullets, takes one to the hip, and BAM! the movie's over. That's what the ending of Halo 2 was like. I'm so glad my roommate is the one who bought it, and not me.
4. This school's dining halls. I found bugs in my salad the other day. Since then, I have not been able to eat at the College 8 dining hall. It was pretty much the most revolting experience of my life, because I'm sure I must have swallowed a few before I noticed that one. The workers here went on strike the other day because they're pissed about their wages. Frankly, after that incident, I hope that the dining hall burns down, and is rebuilt, and that the cost of rebuilding it is taken out of the workers' paychecks. Because I'll be damned if I'm going to have sympathy for them when there are bugs in my food.
5. The phrase "Toaster Pastries". Seriously, what the fuck?
6. That show "American Dad". Why does anyone think that show is funny? It's basically like the bastard-child of Family Guy. It wasn't that I found it offensive; it's all situational irony. But it's not FUNNY situational irony. I propose they merge the few jokes that were funny in that show into the second half of "Family Guy", because with "Family Guy", the first 15 minutes of every episode is disproportionatly funny to the second 15 minutes. I admire the intentions of "American Dad", but it just wasn't funny, and since the animation is almost identical to its predecessor, I felt like I was watching a retarded, middle-schooler version of Family Guy.
7. Organic food. Why do people eat organic food? Yes, I buy it often, but that's because the easiest market to get to from where I am is an organic market. It's right near the bus station, so I don't have to walk far when I get off the bus. Good Lord, I sound really, really fucking ghetto.
What do you think, Olivia?
