Yay! Tonight I watched for the first time having seen every past episode. Thanks Adam for showing me the light. I don't like where this Rebecca thing is going. Sandy and Kirsten's marriage MUST remain stable! I also dislike Alex. A lot. And her butterfly tattoo. Shut up, butterfly tattoo. Finally, I love Seth Cohen and his razor sharp wit. However, if Ryan and his very toned arms smile at me one more time, I may fall in love with him a little bit too.

California Here I Come

Well not exactly....but I decided since no one suggested a topic this week we'd talk about something everyone loves: The OC. I have neglected this show, for unfortunate and unexplainable reasons, for over a year, and every episode I regret it more. The storyline is slightly soap opera, the characters are all somewhat extreme, but the show pulls you in and makes you want to know what happens. I'm only on the 22nd episode of the first season, so no spoilers during this discussion, Wing Night Crew. I just wanted to say that I think the OC is great. And I'm gonna watch it all night. And Seth Cohen is based on me. And Adam Brody looks an awful lot like Kevin L. And Summer is hot. And the OC is getting tivoed from now on. Thoughts?

a quick list

- bad grammar, ESPECIALLY misspelling any of the forms of "your" - i HATE that
- uggs and mini skirts
- people that don't say thank you or you're welcome
- when people say "what?" and then are like "oh oh ok"
- when people try and sing along to songs but don't really know the words
- when people interrupt me when i talk
- when people talk loudly during class
- girls who act drunk after 1/2 a beer

many more, but its 3:12am and i have a 9am tomorrow. yuck

I've got too many

Pet peeves. Lots of little things annoy me. Probably the worst for me are people who take things too seriously and people who are extremely confrontational. Those really aren't pet peeves, are they? Are pet peeves supposed to be little things? Anyway, I don't have time to ponder because of one of Joe's pet peeves, homework. Well, not homework. "Studying." Oh well, I won't be so flaky with entries once midterms are over.

I wish......You'd stop that.

Sorry, a little into the woods humor. "I'm so funny." - Mr. Schneider. Ok enough is enough, back to the topic at hand: Pet Peeves. The first one is people who try too hard to be labeled as "cool". Furthermore, I hate labels. When someone is called 'emo' I twinge. Also the words 'preppie', 'gangsta', 'jock', 'nerd', and other such labels are a load of self indulgent crap. I have no idea what the purpose of any of these labels are except to denote the obvious genre of music one listens to. Or doesn't listen to. Man I have a whole lot of pet peeves. I dislike people who can't read music and claim to be the best musicians, I dislike people who wear comb-overs and think its stylish, I hate fashion statements that make the phrase "fashion police" seem more pertinent. Oh, and at the top of my list, I hate homework. I despise, cross my fingers, pray against it, curse it's name, avoid it at all costs, never think about it, do it at school, cry, etc. Nothing makes my blood boil quite like the institution that takes 40 hours out of our week, 8 hours a day weekdays, giving us more time consuming work. Bullshit it helps us learn, if we didn't learn it at school well maybe you are cramming too much down our throats. Independent study maybe, but the validity of homework is zero to me. I hate it, I will always hate it, and I avoid it unless graded or I feel its beneficial to me. It will always be my biggest pet peeve. I hope it dies. If I am ever president, my first act will be to ban homework. That is all. Vote Joefi.

what a list....

so. fears. well lets start simple, shall we? anyone who knows me even a little bit knows that i am deathly afraid of spiders, this includes screaming and hyperventalation at the sight, or even threat of one. reza knows this well. spiders also branches off into the larger categories of bugs, i dont even want to write about it because ill have nightmares of things with lots of legs crawling on me while i sleep ::shiver::
blood is also up there on the list. could never be a doctor, makes me queesy, blech. even hearing ppl talk about it, or having to read it in textbooks, even when its not even blood - veins are freaky enough - turns my stomach.
contacts. im scared of putting things in/near my eyes, thats why ill stick to my glasses for far away.
rejection/failure. scared to do anything i could be remotely bad at. the reason i sat atop a snowboarding hill for 3 hours in 10th grade. i was afraid i would stuck and wouldnt go down. till it was time to leave.
scary movies. not all. just the ones that could actually happen. like scream. i wasnt afraid of the ring, or anything involving monstars or aliens, etc. scream could actually happen. im afraid of being killed all the time. its so weird.
showering when im alone in my house. sometimes i lock my dogs in the bathroom or make ppl come over while i shower or (at school) make ppl stand in the bathroom if no one else is in there when i want to shower. this leads back to the scary movie thing.
the dark. have to turn all the lights on in my house at night, especially if im alone. it makes the bad guys go away. singing happy music helps too. this also (and especially) includes walking past open doors in a dark hallway - ie on the way to my bedroom.
my basement. equals dark, scary, and where killers like to lurk.
not being in control. well. everyone knows that already.

Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself.... And the Bogeyman.

Don't worry Liz, the topic is decided. Well, I'm not really afraid of many things (like rhinos or ghosts or broccoli), I'm more afraid of situations. I am terrified of looking dumb onstage or in front of a crowd, ironic since I am very comfortable onstage. I'm also scared of drowning, although I love swimming and have no fear of water. I have ironic fears I guess. You know what I'm afraid of? The awkward moment when you are tutoring and you think the parents are judging you. I know, I know, they are protective and whatnot, but I still get shivers during those awkward moments where you know they are sizing you up. Almost makes me want to never tutor again, but I like money. Plus newer tutoring kid is a drummer, mad chill. But wow I got kind of off topic. Oh well. I use to have to close my closet at night or I couldn't sleep. I don't really know why, I didn't think the bogeyman would come out, but I was definitely afraid of an open closet in my dark room. Silly younger Joefi. I also was deathly afraid of splinters, so much that I use to wear gloves whenever I went on the big toy(The former playground of Thiells Elementary, completely wooden, now completely destroyed by that flood a few years ago). But those things don't really scare me now. I was afraid of bees for a while because I thought I would die if one stung me, since I have no idea what I'm allergic to, and that could have been it. But I got stung this year and lived, so I'm cool with bees. Speaking of bees and Thiells, we use to have a bee hunting club where we would hunt bees and kill them, cause when you're little you do pretend brave stuff like that to be cool.

Wow.

Hey, sorry that Wing Night hasn't really been up to speed in topics or doing anything lately. It's kind of ridiculous we can't take 15 minutes on a Thursday night to post anymore. So this week I promise with some suggestions we'll have a topic. So suggestions anyone?
