I'm probably going to tick a lot of people off with this blog, but I really couldn't care less because: the people that will hate me for this are probably the people that I'm fueled this blog. Not to be rude...
...just saying.
There are a lot of things that annoy me...a LOT. Hey, at least I'm honest. So, I'm going to get it off of my chest and just list all of the things that annoy me. I'll start with something minute and trivial.
First of all, I absolutely H.A.T.E. North Carolina; especially the city of Jacksonville, but that's another story. Right now, I'm talking about how stupid it is that their electrical outlets are UPSIDE DOWN. Yes, upside down; as in, you have to flip the thing you're plugging into the wall into the weirdest position. As in, my daughters cannot have a night light in their bathroom or room that works correctly because the night light cover can't fit if the dang light it upside down. Thanks North Carolina, you're a peach.
Now, on to Jacksonville...
One huge reason I'm looking forward to moving to Beaufort is the fact that Beaufort is a city where the military decided to have a base. Jacksonville, on the other hand, is a city only because there is a base here. Therefore, it's definitely not family oriented. I cannot tell you how disgusted it makes me to drive down the road and see at least five strip clubs, and twenty tattoo parlors (not the nice kind; the creepy-here-are-some-drugs kind), and stupid single twenty-something year olds driving cars that you can hear all the way to Raleigh.
That brings me to stupid single twenty-something year olds in the military. These guys are stupid. Seriously, stupid. Okay, I know my husband is a twenty-something year old but he's not stupid. He's DEFINITELY not single, either. I'm talking about the guys who go around and get drunk every single night. That's pathetic. If that's all you have to live for...that's just pathetic. These guys get drunk every night, spend WAY too much time in strip clubs, spend their money on stupid things, and pretty much just do everything that could possibly be CONSIDERED stupid.
MOST of these guys will get married; and MOST of these guys will have a crappy marriage. Why? Well, because they just want money. You have no idea how many couples around here are NOT in love. At least one of them isn't in love with the other. They only get married because it gives them more money. Which, honestly, I don't know why someone would do that because the extra money you get anyway is NOT a lot; especially if you decide to live on base and have kids. Most of these girls go out without their husbands or their husbands leave the wives at home. I'm not saying that this is wrong, but when you spend more time away from your spouse than with your spouse by CHOICE - something is wrong. I know, most couples aren't like me and my husband, where we actually get along, have a lot in common, are best friends, and pretty much are attached at the hip --- quite literally...yet, you're not single anymore so stop acting like it.
AND for GOD'S SAKE: If you're going to get married make it about LOVE not MONEY.
TAG CHASERS (military mattresses, tricare holder wanna-bes, exec): 1. A man or woman sexually attracted to someone ONLY because they are in the military. 2. A man or woman looking to marry someone in the military. 3. A male or female slut that collects ID tags(Dog Tags) after having sex with military members.
^^Those people, make me sick to my stomach. Like, physically sick. Most of these people are women. I won't lie; most of them are and most of them cheat on their husbands when they are gone...which also ticks me off. I don't understand how you can do that to your husband when he's HOME let alone when he's in a war zone. That just baffles me. People who don't have anything to do with the military just don't understand how many people really do hurt themselves because of what these women (and sometimes men) do. It's sickening and I hope Karma bites them in the rear.
A lot of my annoyances have to do with the military now...like how 90% of the wives are WAY too into their husband's job. It's okay to call him "My Marine" when it comes to a poem or t-shirt, but when you're talking to other people and call him that, get a grip. He's your H U S B A N D. He just happens to BE a marine. Which, that's wonderful - trust me, I'm proud of my husband (though he will argue to no end I have no reason to be because he's never done anything amazing, yadda yadda yadda...I don't care, I am proud of him)...and I honestly think he looks good in a burlap sack, so when you put him in camis or dress blues, trust me, he's definitely one good-looking son-of-a-gun...but he's not "my marine"...he's my husband, my best friend, and the love of my life. I have just as much respect for his job as I do him as a person; and even if he was a garbage man I'd be just as proud of him as I am now. That just gets under my skin...about as as much as...
...people using middle names. I don't call my children Lillian Ireland Lee or Kealan Claire...probably because the first is a mouthful and I wouldn't call Kealan by her middle name if I don't call Ireland by her middle name. So, I guess children are okay to do it with...but husbands? I know one person who has the right to, only because she and her husband share the same name...of course that makes sense. :) But, for most people, it's just stupid. You call him by his FIRST name...or whatever he goes by...whatever the majority of the people in the world call him. I don't call my husband Jonathan ____bleepity bleep____ (only because he'd kill me if I put his middle name on here haha). OR people who call their husbands by their last name. Dude, that is what they call him AT WORK...why would I call my husband HILL...I, myself, am also HILL, so that could get pretty confusing.
And we just can't have that.
How about the next one: people who can't grow up. People who used to be your friend and after you "break up" so to speak, they still want to make you look like a horrible person to everyone else; or their nice to your family. Okay, I couldn't care less if you're nice to my family...you think that's going to get to me? Well, it doesn't. It's just childish and immature...and shows how desperate YOU are for attention.
P.s. My life is so much better without you, sweetheart. :)
And another thing, this person I'm speaking of, being nice to other people. Doesn't sound too bad, huh? Well, this person is only nice to you because she wants to know your business. She wants to know what's going on with your life so she can gossip about it to other people. Trust me, I know, because she did it when she and I were friends. She would write me and ask me about so & so's life because I was friends with them and she knew people talked to me about their problems. Did I ever tell her? No. I made some crazy excuse up; but it disgusted me at all that A) She really didn't care about the people she was talking to or about the people she was asking me about. B) She was using me for the sole purpose of getting into everyone else's business...or she was TRYING to at least.
Lastly, people telling you to move on when someone has wronged you. Some people may be the "sweep it under the rug and pretend it didn't happen" type...but I'm not. You don't screw with me. You screw with me and I'll screw with you. You screw with my family - again, I'll screw with you. It's not okay to me for people to judge me when they don't know me - or to judge me because of what someone else says. It's not okay for someone to bring my family into something which actually has nothing to even do with me - you just don't like me so you make it about me. Adults can be children sometimes; and the children can be more like adults. It's insane. I will never sweep it under the rug. I'm too passionate. I'm too outspoken and I'll never allow ANYONE to walk over me or try to make me look bad; especially when it's not true.
Maybe that's it for now. Maybe I'll think of more annoyances as my life goes on. Actually, scratch that. There's no "maybe" about it. With the world like it is today, I'm sure someone else will tick me off shortly.
Stay tuned. ;0)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this blog! :D
