Things I Hate Today

1. People who use "air quotes."

2. People who use the word "literally", especially when they really mean "figuratively." (e.g., "There were literally, like, millions of people there!")

3. Anything that involves filling out forms.

4. The way my possessions seem to have spawned in the process of being moved from one home to another. (There is no other way to explain the fact that I have at least five kinds of salt.)

5. Anything involving applications to pre-school. Including but not limited to the notion that a year of pre-school should cost more than my three years of law school.

6. Stupid lists.
1. The air-quote is like a Hitler analogy. Use it and your audience immediately starts daydreaming.

2. "Literally" is a Valley Girl version of "actually."

3. Forms are below me. I just refuse to do them. I can write an appellate breif, but will not fill out the notice of appeal. If its got boxes and requires checks marks, I'm not even looking at it. That's bureaucrat work. This is why I pay someone to do my taxes, and look over homes sale agreement shit. I hate forms so much I'll pay anything not to deal with them.

4. Paper is the most insidious detritus. Victoria's Sectret and J. Crew have wallpapered me to death.

5. Applications are worse than forms. They're busy work for mindless clerks.

6. I actually like lists. They're great if you have ADD.
