Back To Reality

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes:

1. eager beavers
2. people who fake an accent
3. people who talk more than they do
4. people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts)
5. back-stabbers
6. gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?!
7. inconsiderate people
8. .... more to come, i just know it

is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb?

i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
