» Guilty Pleasures

oooooo
-Satisfying pimples. There are several types that are fall into this category, snappy ones, small hard ones, explosive ones, and the ones that come out as a looong white string. There are also the rare ones that pop up on my scalp that snap oh so wonderfully.
-Picking at ingrown hairs.
-Talking to animals. Cats mostly, but others too.
-I absolutely LOVE looking at pictures of cute things on the net.
-A new one. Using someone else's mobile to call exes while blitzed. I don't speak, I just hold the phone up so they can hear the nonsense going on. It's funny how I have the sense not use MY phone even in that condition.
-Sitting around in the buff right after a shower.
-Filling in all the squares on sheets of graphing paper.

» Have you ever been rude to a celebrity?

Not me
but my mother's friend yelled at Sara Jessica Parker of Sex and the City fame for cutting in front of her in a line at Starbucks. She said something along the lines of "Just because you're a celebrity doesn't mean you can skip ahead of me!" The image of two tiny women going at it in the middle of a NYC Starbucks brings a smile to my face every time I think about it.

oh and just last week I went to see Henry Rollins (Black Flag) do a spoken word/standup program near school and my friend basically called the man short and old to his face. The man may be short, but he could probably kill you with one swift kick.

Another, this time in Paris
I was in a very nice restaurant in Paris with my parents. A few tables away from us sat 3 American women (or Mer'kin) who were loud and apparently near drunk. The waiter was showing them the cheese course on the cart, and one of them shouts, "You should try some Wisc-ah-nson cheddeerr cheese, you don't know what you're missing." The waiter looked like he was trying his best not to stab the woman with her own fork, and I don't blame him.
Luckily, at the time, I was pretty fluent in conversational French as was my mother, so the staff seemed to be relieved whenever they came to our table.

Near the World Trade Center
About six months ago I was walking in the area around "Ground Zero" when I overheard some idiot tourist say, "Do you think all the dirt here is from the towers?"

It's New York, it's filthy EVERYWHERE! Burnt debris or otherwise. And it has been 3 years! Do you really believe that the ash wouldn't have washed away with the rain in that span of time!?

It's a wonder why I haven't gone on a tourist killing spree...
Only the American tourists bother me, or rather non-urbanite American tourists who dress in bright pastels, have big hair, speak way too slowly, walk way too slowly while taking up 75% of the sidewalk with their 5 Aryan children wearing Abercrombie & Fitch, etc. etc. etc.
No one should wear pastels, ESPECIALLY if you look like a shaved albino gorilla.

assholes.

no... no bitterness here...

tea
Henry Rollins, who is a family friend's boss, offered me some green tea backstage at one of his shows in Paris.
