Something that gives me the shits so bad is that I suck at arguing. I have my beliefs or opinions and know why they are valid to me but I fucking SUCK at defending them to other people. I've never been good at debates or arguments and I just end up getting the shits and wanting to stick my tongue out at them.
I just had a fight with a friend over vampire novels. She believes they are all intrinsically different whereas I believe there are obvious templates that most follow whether it be buffy-style ass kicking, teenage centred or school setting, erotica, mythic romance or supernatural powers. I know I'm right because I am around these books every day and am one of the best sales assistants in our shop. I know my fucking books and I do not like someone trying to prove that I don't. I'm the one that has to deal with fucking Mr Bray who REFUSES to read anything slightly different than his specific template of fantasy and yet I always somehow manage to find him a new author - NOT HER.
I've just had a woeful day. I broke a $20 bottle of purple nailpolish all over the bathroom tiles (and my work pants) and locked myself out of the house. I'm just moody and tense.
Bah.
