Complaining about everything
My Flash player is severely messed up on my computer (meaning no Pandora), so I've been listening to the radio instead. The problem? All the stations I listen to have started playing Christmas music.
I hate Christmas music.
Christmas music tries so hard to be happy and ~magical~. Why is it so happy?! Winter is a cold and depressing time. Trying to lighten the mood by playing upbeat songs does not help. In fact, it just makes me annoyed and angry. It doesn't help that these songs have been shoved down my throat every single Christmas. Even if I avoid the radio, almost every store has Christmas songs playing. (And it's always the same songs too. What happened to originality?) I never wanted to learn the lyrics to all the standard Christmas carols, but I know them anyway because I've heard these songs hundreds of times against my will.
I understand that some people really love Christmas, but that does not excuse a month of Christmas-themed songs. I love Halloween, but do you hear me playing Halloween music for the entire month of October? No. No, you don't.
For the record, the only Christmas music I can tolerate is the instrumental stuff. At least then I can disassociate the music from the holiday/season.
I've been craving chocolate chip desserts for several weeks, so yesterday I tried to make a cake with chocolate chips in it. I don't have a recipe, but how hard can it be, right? Just pour in the chocolate chips after mixing the other ingredients and throw it in the oven.
Apparently not. All the chocolate chips sank to the bottom.
Pictured: the visual representation of failure.
Baking is one of my (very limited) talents that I was proud of. Now I've failed at that too. My only remaining talent is complaining about everything. Well, at least I don't have to worry about failing at that one anytime soon.
On the bright side, at least my parents liked the fail cake, I guess.
Edit: I've been feeling light-headed all day and now I'm getting this dull stabbing pain under my right ribs. Body, why you hate me? D:
