All about me…
I can never think of anything to say on the “about me” page that doesn’t sound self-involved. And, considering I have a blog full of self-involved posts, I don’t really see the point. Still, as every blogger must secretly admit, I do like talking about myself, so I’ll give it a shot. Most people that read this blog already know who I am, where I live, and so on, so I’m not going to put that up.
I yam what I yam and that’s all that I yam
– Popeye (RIP from spinach-related E. coli infection)
I can tell you a few things though. For instance, I really get a kick out of people who have quirky and silly websites, like Jart In My Head and Lileks. In fact, I love the interweb – I have no idea how I’d manage without it.
I am so smart! I am so smart!
– Steakman (after unplugging the TV cable box to reset it, and forgetting to plug it back in)
I love almost anything funny, but I do NOT enjoy stuff that’s funny at the expense of other people. Well, I sort of do. For instance, I enjoy seeing Jon Stewart mock Bush. But, if the “victim” is some poor, hapless person or the humor is too base, I just can’t do it. (“Jackass 2″ I’m looking at you.)
That’s what you get!
– Me (talking to anyone who did something stupid, or to myself)
I hate hate hate drama. I don’t like people that accept drama as part of their daily lives. I dislike people that are happier being unhappy, who introduce drama where there doesn’t need to be any, who think drama makes you cool because other people don’t understand, blah blah blah.
I don’t like people who throw around sweeping statements but who have no real life experience. (Age is almost always a factor here.) If someone says religions are like cults, for example, that bugs me. Some are, some aren’t, but don’t lump them all together.
Whenever I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out. Remember that time I went to those duff brewery classes and I forgot how to drive?
– Homer J. Simpson
I don’t like people that talk about stuff they don’t know about… like alcoholism, depression, medication, religion, proper parenting, sexual preference, counterculture, etc. There’s always someone out there that has actually experienced what you’re bull$hitting about, and you sound like a completely uninformed idiot. I can only say “you’re young” so many times to excuse you.
And by the way, being disfunctional does not make you cool, or different, or special. It just means you’re too self-involved to check out what’s going on around you and fix your life.
That’s why I love elementary school, Edna. The children believe anything you tell them.
– Principal Skinner
I like all things gothy and halloweenie. I do not, however, like the people that embrace that as their lifestyle (wait, let me finish) AND who use that “alternative lifestyle” as a way to discriminate against other people. If you can be alternative and still be nice and accepting, you’re on my GOOD list.
Oh goodie, goth mimes. The best of both worlds. They pretend they’re trapped in a box and then whine about how cruel and unfair it is.

I don’t like hippies, but I do like most of what they stand for. (Again, see above rant about discrimination.)
People are people…
– Depeche Mode
I love retro culture but I’m too lazy to go out and buy the clothes I’d need for it to show. In fact, I’m lazy period. Gotta go sit around…
