This may be mild for your standards, but as it's on my mind at the moment:
I think obituaries that go through every single thing you ever did in your life are ridiculous. All people want to know is that you died, how you died, when you died, where you lived, who you're related to that they might know, and when your service is.
There's no reason to write a 700 page essay about your great-aunt's ten dogs and what kind they were and how much she loved Christmas, Scrabble, and NASCAR. Stop it.
I had murderous thoughts about a lady in my class last night. First of all, I had a class with her in the Fall and she drove me bat shit crazy at that time, too. She never read the syllabus, she was always late, she was always off-topic, and I could go on and on. At my school, we have what we call Jan term which is basically where they try to cram a class in one month. I'm taking a fun, experimental class and we watch horror movies and talk about them. Last night, we watched The Poltergeist. Granted, I've seen it before but the aforementioned lady came into class late (SHOCKER!) and made other people move so that she could sit next to ME. She proceeded to talk through the whole fucking movie. YES, you've seen it before - SO HAVE I. Does this mean you're allowed to run your trap during the movie? Fuck NO! I ignored her the entire time and leaned as far away from her as possible. When the movie was over, she tried talking to me again and I just got up and left. It took every ounce of restraint in me not to turn around and throat punch her.
@ButterMyBiscuit Terrible. I remember those people not so fondly. In my experience, they ruled our community colleges! I didn't find as many once I transferred to my state school. Incentive to move on quickly for me!
One good thing my ex-boyfriend did for me, teach me the difference from the letter O and zero. I can still hear him say, O is a letter not a number! Whenever I hear people use the letter in place of the number it makes me cringe inside. My mother refuses to accept this! It will definitely be something I make a point to teach our child as he/she gets older!
I must confess. While on the TTGP board, the millions of "show me your fur babies!!" posts were really getting irritating. I posted this picture to entertain myself. This...is not my dog.
@ButterMyBiscuit Worse!! A private school and she's constantly unprepared?! I would be so annoyed. I hate when people get off track in staff meetings. I would be super irritated if I was paying to spend time with the intention of getting something out of a class. Ugh!!!

My thoughts, exactly. And somehow, she's graduating this Spring.
Found out last night we're having a second girl. I'm excited! And of course so happy the results of our cell-free DNA testing looks good and low risk.
So my FFFC is I'm dreading telling people beyond my immediate family because I'm going to get consolation comments/looks. "ANOTHER GIRL in your family!?" (my mom has two girls, my sister has two girls) and "Are you going to try for a boy next?" And I WILL have to punch those people.
I know I shouldn't give any fvcks what stupid shit people may say, but it makes me less excited about telling people. And that gives me the guilts.
I went three straight weeks without cleaning my house because of the holidays, doing only the bare necessities to keep from living in the pits. Yesterday, our savior, our cleaning lady, came and cleaned. I didn't realize how disgusting we had gotten. My house sparkles now. I will never again go three weeks without the house being cleaned. Thank god for that woman!!!!

@ButterMyBiscuit I had one of those in my grad program. Some of her gems were;
1) "Are the tourists afraid to get off the bus because they think lions will eat them?" This was during my presentation on township tourism in post-apartheid South Africa. After prolonged attempts of trying to clarify the situation I screamed 'The entire continent isn't naked Masaii chucking spears at lions in the serengheti!!!"
2) "People on assistance who have kids should be forcibly sterilized".

How do they even get into university?!
This is how I feel when I come into contact with people like this... And I sadly so frequently.

Feel free to post this or something similar on the fur baby post I just started haha
made other people move so that she could sit next to ME. She proceeded to talk through the whole fucking movie.
@ButterMyBiscuit Aw hell no. I can't stand people like this. I picture you with a good resting bitch face like Kanye, so why would she think to buddy up to you? I have an amazing RBF perfected, so most people stay away. But the weirdos seem to have a special ability to ignore a RBF and come over anyway.
FFFC: The main reason I don't want a baby shower is because I don't want my husband's extended family inviting themselves and hijacking it. I know they will go completely off registry, which would be fine, but we are remaining gender neutral for the clothing and bedding. I don't like the girl clothes I've been seeing at all, they are freaking hideous, so if we do end up having a girl I don't want the sparkly tutu's and rainbow unicorn kittens pooping out flowers. I'm actually considering keeping the sex a closely guarded secret (us, my mother and sister, his father and brother all sworn to secrecy), because if we have a girl I don't want all of the pink and flowers and gross everywhere.
You can like your girly stuff. I hate it. If my kid decides to like it one day, I will let him/her have all of that crap. Right now, it's my decision and I say no.
My confession is more something I dream about doing but probably wouldn't actually do it.
My husband has one girl name that he just loves. I don't like it and he won't take no for an answer. He literally will not discuss any other name. We're still debating going Team Green. Lately with my b!tchy hormone levels if he can't make it to my anatomy scan (which is yet to be scheduled), I'm tempted to find out the sex just so I know how hard I have to fight him on the girl name front.

You would be correct. My RBF is borderline actual bitchy face. I could be totally wrong but she probably thinks that since we're both adult students, we're automatically buddies. This is SO far from the truth. Honestly, I'm there to get my education and leave. I'm not there to bond with other students. I have grown-up shit to handle.
I had pickles as my "vegetable" for dinner this week. Twice. (and no, it's not a pregnancy thing, I just really love pickles even when not knocked up).
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
@NerdchildI hate overly girly stuff on babies too. We were Team Green, which I think helped steer people to actual useful stuff to buy (rock n play, bouncer, bottles, etc). However, once DD was born, you bet some folks sent the girly clothes/headbands/bows right on over. (we lived out of state so this was mailed)
Maybe it's just because my daughter had a TON of hair, but I really didn't mind the (small) bows because she needed them before long. However, my kid will never have one of those ridiculous, giant bows on her head. Yuck.
@ButterMyBiscuit Oh okay, she thinks she found common ground. Another weirdo super tactic. Yeah, I was in grad school a couple years ago and wasn't there to make pals either. It was weekend classes so as soon as classed ended, I GTFO.
@TattoosandLace If either partner vetoes a name, it's done. You can't be expected to suddenly like one if you don't. Are you even on the same wavelength about it, like are similar names in your wheelhouse?
I would be just as tempted as you to find out the sex at your A/S.
@MamaBish Your Gif made me actually laugh, that's exactly how I feel about my MIL at the moment haha
My FFFC is tame but gross, I totally left an exploded pack of DS's animal crackers in my purse for wayyy too long, I didn't clean it until DH had to look in it for my keys and he was like "what the hell is this??" lol

ok, I'd wear a tutu with a rainbow unicorn kittens pooping out flowers, now is it unicorns and kittens or a unicorn kitten hybrid?
Flu, diarrhea, vomiting so I have officially called into work but fun fact my in laws are coming tonight so I somehow have to manage to rally to clean a little bit and shower so I don't look like a vomit monster from hell... All the while husband is trying to tell me I should get through work no just no

Oh hell no! Why are they even coming over if you have the flu??
@mandyjulie the name he wants isn't as bad as others he's suggested -- it's Amelia Ann(e). I just don't like it. Amelia was a mean girl in my grade school. He doesn't want an 'e' at the end of Ann, but will "compromise" with me on the e. Big compromise there.
I downloaded a baby name app that could potentially help. How it's designed is both partners download it and connect to each other. If you like a name, you swipe it to the right. If you don't, swipe left. A name won't save as a "favorite" unless you both swipe right. H won't download it. So I've been using it to pull random names up to throw out there. Nothing.
