Grinds my gears that I am almost out of vodka jell-o. I didn't make jello shots, I just made a huge bowl, took half the water out of the recipe and added half vodka. So tasty :( But the roads are snowed so I can't get supplies to make moar.

On a side note I never understood why women like getting flowers.... I keep seeing these commercials about sending the chick you love flowers. And the girls are like "Yeah he really out did everyone with these great flowers!". Seems like people are settin' the bars pretty low. I could think of like 30 times moar romantic things than flowers.

Well, flowers are... symbolic. It shows that you, well, care, and if they happen to be the girl's favorite kind of flower, then good! They look good and smell good, simply. And it's nice to know that someone cares and buys them for you. Besides, flowers have symbolized love for many years, so it's kind of programmed into us that flowers=love.

Personally, though, I prefer chocolate. Chocolate is delicious.

Flowers are old fashioned and I guarantee you the '30 more romantic things' you can think of wouldn't be that effective but each girl is different. A lot of girls like the old fashioned stuff. Getting something simple as flowers means so much more than a lot of things and it works for any occasion or no occasion at all.

From a guys point of view I see flowers as a minimum effort maximum appeal kind of thing. I call a store, pay money, get flowers a girl likes and I'm in good graces with very little effort at all. Unless I suppose I grew my own and then gave them to her.

Also you don't know me so you can't guarantee anything so there :P

Eh, the commercialization of "buy your girl flowers" doesn't grind my gears quite like the commercialization of "buy your girl an overpriced rock or you don't love her". Diamonds aren't valuable; they're monopolized. Big difference. Oh, and do you really think that the Kimberly Process is guaranteeing that the diamond you buy isn't a blood diamond? Then please explain why the hell African regimes and civil wars are still being fueled by the sale of blood diamonds even though De Beers (the company that has a monopoly on the diamond industry) only buys Kimberly Process-certified rough diamonds?

I've never understood the appeal of diamonds and gold personally. If I were to choose an ideal ring I'd want it to be silver with an amethyst. :)

What REALLY grinds my gears?
Oh so many things, but right now?

Drama queens!

One in particular, but let me vent?

On the surface it's all, peace and love! I'm all for LGBT, hell, I AM part of the community, but for a supposedly straight guy you're too much of a B!TCH to really come across as anything else than a... b!tchy b!tch that you are! Not even on facebook have I encountered that much drama generated by one person! FACEBOOK, F**K!

EVERY time you speak, you try to aggravate as many people as possible! Everyone's trying to be all nice and comforting with you, but you? YOU JUST GO DO IT ALL AGAIN WELL F**K YOU YOU LITTLE DRAMA QUEEN! AND YOUR LITTLE DOG TOO!

I don't know if it's your "emo", "straightXedge" or whatever's the fad in your tween circle attitude that makes you antagonise and attempt to ridicule EVERYBODY or is it your inner primadonna but b!tch, please. The only person getting ridiculed by your "darker and edgier, and more sensitive!" posts is you.

Get a life.

Or a REAL wife. Noone believes you really have one, anyway.

Honestly whoever came up with the mechanics for Tol Barad should not be working for a major game designing company, I did see a help wanted sign at Burger King though.

We know the burgers are very hard to unwrap and thats the way we like it, we want you to feel like getting to eat the burger is an achievement although we hear the complaints and will be nerfing the wrappers in a future patch.
Yeah i dont want this to happen to my food as well.

I hate how I can't stinkin' let go of the past. Sure, no one can truly be expected to forget the past.. But I cling to it like my life depends on it.

For example... Lately I've been minorly depressed over the PokeRP dying... WoD and RotS were absolutely amazing... Yet no matter what we try now.. It just dies. I keep thinking that maybe it's time to just end the whole thing, since we're not getting anywhere with the new story... But I don't want it to end. I've grown amazingly close to the characters, even ones that aren't even mine! I can't stand the idea of their story just kind of.. Ending.. Practically abandoned... I love these characters and their stories too much to see them just kinda.. Fade out of existence.

*Sighs* Blurgh.. Just kinda need to vent about that.

I think the really, really big issue is Magna, Kira and Moon have vanished, and Lupis just can't post. Sat, you and I are the only ones around, but we have no idea about the mirror. Hard to search for it without direction. Once, I'm hoping, we get the mirror, it will pick up considerably. Till then, it's barely standing.

I'll miss Sol too, quite a bit. She's going to die thinking Ghost still hates her, I'm telling you. That's a great way to die. Knowing that pretty much everyone you knew more or less hates you expect...three, four people. I am a master of morbid demises and being evil to my characters. >:)

Except Speck. Her death wasn't too bad.
