Built-Up Aggression Leads to No Good.
Contrary to the beliefs of some, I am not an alcoholic. I drink, on average, four times a month and only on the weekends. Furthermore, when I do get drunk, it is only at night. There is no impulse in my brain that says, "It's noon on a Wednesday; lets get drunk." I'm a hard-working bitch, and I deserve to drink at the end of the week. You'll never see me drunk at work. You'll never run into me on Main Street on a Tuesday plastered. My grandmother is an alcoholic. I know what that looks like. And that ain't me! So, the next time you decide to make some snarky comment about my drinking, remember this. If you only see me when I'm partying, it's going to look like I'm a heavy drinker, but I can assure you, I'm not. I have no desire to wake up any day of the week hungover, especially if I have to work the next day or I have some other responsibility to take care of.
Things that annoy me currently:
-- People who are with their partners for a short period of time and a.) run off and get married. b.) throw a fit because they aren't already engaged. You will get no sympathy from me. I was with TJ for seven-and-a-half years before we got married. We weren't engaged until 6 years and 10 months. I wanted to have it happen sooner, but not before a good long time of getting to know him and going through life-altering experiences together. You can't know a person well enough to marry them if you haven't known them very long. You can't guarantee your relationship will last through the hard times if you haven't experienced the hard times.
Recently, someone I know got married after knowing the guy for less than six months. Now, he's in trouble for alledgedly taking photos of him fucking a 16-year-old before they got married. He lies to her and tells her it didn't happen. He tells everyone else it didn't happen and that everyone has got it wrong. But here's the thing, he told the police that he did it! They had enough evidence to arrest him. And also...the guy is 50 and his new bride is 26. His wife before her, also 26. He pays a lot of attention to teenage girls. He is really fucking creepy/sketchy and buys young girls he barely knows presents. His wife...well, she's kind of stupid. But maybe if she'd actually waited and not married him after only being with him for two and a half months, she wouldn't be in the position she is now.
Also, having a kid together is never a good reason to get married. Trenton was 6 before we got married, and I don't regret that. Not everyone knows the people that they choose to fuck. Chaining yourself to a life and perfect family and blahblahblah is stupid if you're not actually ready. "Doing it for the children" is not always a good thing. If you get knocked up and find out that you can't stand the person, at least you only have to see them when they help out with the kid. You marry them, and you subject your children to all sorts of drama and fighting and screaming and violence that doesn't make anyone's life better. You want to ruin their childhood because of your fuck-up? In that case, you probably shouldn't be breeding at all.
-- People who play devil's advocate just to be assholes. If the purpose is to expand the other person's perspective, that is a useful thing to do. If you're just doing it to see how much you can piss off the person you're trying to "help," don't bother.
-- People who claim to be openminded and progressive about everything but will become complete hypocrites when it comes to religion. Christians, the Bible says to spread the good news, not force people to convert. Be a witness, not an asshole. People who stay with their partners in hopes they will convert them...LAME. That's like staying with someone hoping that all of their bad stuff will magically disappear, and they'll wake up one morning completely changed. Not likely.
From personal experience...someone very close to me "converted" their husband, but that didn't stop him from being a pedophile and molesting her children.
Also, stop going around and telling other people that their religions are wrong. Spirituality is a personal choice. Telling someone they are wrong isn't going to stop them from believing it. If someone wants to convert to a religion, welcome them. If not, stop acting like you have the right to make that decision for them.

I have found myself avoiding drama for a long time. I haven't an issue for several months now. Not even 'net drama has come around for a long time. I wait with baited breath for the end of this calmness. This entry is probably my undoing.
