Are you angry about something? Even just slightly irritated?
Well, I'm pretty pissed off that I can't keep a steady volume of entertaining rants for ya'll, so I'm taking guest posts and feedback about what's pissing you off!
Submit your abstracts by emailing jessicapenn@gmail.com and maybe your anger can be featured in this high impact blog.
I can't be the only one that hates everything. Can I?

car alarms in urban settings
Car alarms in a city where people park on the street and aren't anywhere near their car piss me off!
I mean, you're parking your car on the street. You really gonna be able to hear your alarm go off and catch some punk breaking in? Do you really expect some good citizen to hear the alarm and think "oh no, a baddy's trying to steal somebody else's car! I should help prevent that, because I care and am not afraid of car thieves."
NO, that's just stupid.
When I hear your car alarm, I want to kill you because you obviously think that your stuff is more important than my quality of life.
And, I'm trying to watch CSI.

everything
Yup, pretty much everything (and nothing) has been pissing me off since I tore apart the house last night looking for my black sweater.
Why is that so infuriating!? I just wanted to wear a new dress with my comfy black sweater. Since I couldn't find the sweater, well, obviously, I no longer had anything to wear.
"Might as well go naked or never leave the house again" I sulked to myself, as I huffed and puffed, frantically dashing in between Daniel and his zombie game in search of the holy grail of wardrobes.
In my missing sweater-induced stress and irritation, I decided to give away half of my clothing,
I re-organized the desk area, cleaned the bathroom, took a 5 hour shower (in the dark), and laid in bed, still
seething.
Apparently, my relaxing staycation to NoCal was non-transferable.

daniel
Update 9:25 PM: Okay, well, I guess I should remove my foot from my mouth.
Daniel did indeed buy me something! Now I can:
Daniel Gading bought something for 284 dollars and 56 cents at Best Buy today and he won't tell me what it was and it's pissing me off.
WHAT DID HE BUY!?
Is it a surprise for me? Is it something he's ashamed of and he thinks I'll disapprove? Is he feeling guilty for spending nearly $300 on electronics when the cats should probably go have a check up at the vet sometime in the near future and money should be spent on their care?
WHY WON'T HE TELL ME!?

facebook memes
92.6% of all Facebook meme status updates piss me off.
The whole bra color, where I like to keep my purse, and now the new "12 weeks and craving chocolate lava pie with chocoloate ganache" memes that are supposedly to help raise awareness about breast cancer are especially irritating to me.
Well, they're kinda cute and make people go "huh? is my friend pregnant!?" but it certainly doesn't make me want to encourage all my boob-blessed gal pals to feel themselves up in the shower or get mammograms.
You know what actually spreads breast cancer awareness? Seeing the reality of double masectomies, taking your friend to chemo treatments, actually educating people about breast cancer. Oh, and also, men get breast cancer, too. So keeping this little girly FB meme secret from the menfolk is just counterproductive for spreading awareness.
AND (where this post was supposed to be headed before I got off on a tangent about faux activism), the posts that are all like "I love America and Jesus and God and the troops and Sarah Palin, but I bet 95% of you won't stand up for your beliefs and repost this" really get my goat. Seriously, in the US, you think being a patriotic Christian makes you a minority and that you're the only one courageous enough to publicize your beliefs!?
C'mon, quit making a mockery of statistics, according to Pew only ~20% won't repost it!

obligatory vague passive-aggressive post
People who take out all their problems on others and manipulate them to get what they want and who write vaguely about how wronged they are without revealing what's actually going on, but obviously wanting other people to know they've been wronged and garner nosiness disguised as sympathy piss me off.
Gah! Some people, I just can't believe it. Well, what comes around goes around. They'll get what's coming to them. What a day.......
I hate to admit it, but women seem to be the primary perpetrators of manipulation. Men are experts at it too, though! It's really just a human thing to ignore your own faults and screw up other people you supposedly care about, but I don't get it.
If you're unhappy with your life, take some responsibility for your own emotions; don't be passive aggressive, don't get irritated with others, don't pretend it's all somebody else's fault! It's not. It's yours.
Geez, start a blog or something. I know I'm just done with it all.
