Friday Five Rant Edition

An interesting one this week - had to really rack my brain for some of these answers, but loved the questions!

1. What is your biggest pet peeve? Why?
I have two and can't really pick which one irritates me more. Firstly, there's pessimism, because it's useless in light of God's grace. Secondly though, intolerance, because I'm really big on patience and second chances, knowing how much of that I've received from God too!

2. What irritating habits do you have?
Putting on lipstick, like, ALL the time. hee hee!
Gesturing wildly whenever I talk
Being a drama queen
Being completely obsessive about everything
Gee, I think I'll stop there!

3. Have you tried to change the irritating habits or just let them be?
Ummm... recognising them is as far as I've gotten, I think! Some of the bigger stuff has changed, like my famous short fuse of a few years ago which is now a long but highly-explosive fuse. Then again, I don't know if that's necessarily any better!

4. What grosses you out more than anything else? Why?
I don't think I'm interpreting this question correctly, but it's a texture as opposed to an object, habit or person.
You know when you glop lots of paint on a piece of paper (think kiddie art!) and it's too thick and then it dries and cracks? So you end up with a strange honeycomb pattern that's kinda scaly and really intricate? UGH! That soooooo gives me the shivers. There's a building that I walk past on the way to work that has huge bits of stone work that has a magnified version of that scaly, uneven honeycomb pattern and I practically have to cross to the other side of the road or at least turn my head away when I go past.
Oh yes, and worms, slugs and any other squishy kind of animal with no legs. I am really grossing myself out here.

5. What one thing can you never see yourself doing that other people do?
Settling for someone just because I want to get married.


Phew! Tough questions!
