NAME 4 PEOPLE CURRENTLY ON YOUR BAD SIDE: <== I would also plead the fifth, and I'd have trouble narrowing it down to just 4. @_X


Errr.. I didn't realize Madonna had adopted a British accent--to go with hubby.... But then I don't follow her. When she was still queen of pop music, she should have taken a look over at Japan, and taken a few lessons in *class* from Namie Amuro (the queen of pop music in her respective country). Night and day.

Hey! What's this about hating mushroom. Oh well, I still like you anyway. ;P

[arafel.livejournal.com]

Yep, the Queen of Pop asks for "a packet of crisps" rather than a "bag of potato chips." Get real.

You've known about my dislike of fungi for a while now, don't pretend you didn't. :)

And as an extension of my comments below, Madonna's new accent (and British persona) bugs me, too, because I know it's not genuine. Fah. So ridiculous. I'll admit I like her music though...

[arafel.livejournal.com]

Exactly! I have to say that I liked her a lot better in her fluffypop days, though. Get over it woman, you're not British... you're from Michigan...

[ssilverfish.livejournal.com]

I don't even mind the changes in image all that much... the dominatrix, the indian mysticism obsession... fair enough. She's a pop star, she's got to keep people interested and explore herself artistically. But she can't change where she's from... that's making her look like a total poseur.

Packet of crisps, my ass...

>1. Biting the sides of my cuticles until they bleed

Yeah... those loose cuticles are extremely annoying, aren't they ?

>1. Hats (except under extreme duress)

Does this include all types of hats, from knit hats to say Ascot style "ballroom" womans hats ?

>3. Shoes that are flagrantly impractical

Especially with your bad foot.

>3. I was once distantly related to George Bush by marriage (but the marriage broke up and I never knew the cousin involved.)

>4. Annie Oakley is also somewhere in the family tree by blood

Hmmm... your family tree must be large and well documented.

[arafel.livejournal.com]

1. Goes beyond annoying. I just rip them up... well all the time. Unless I have bandages on my thumbs.

2. All hats. I hate 'em. And they look dumb on me and I don't need to look any dumber than normal.

3. Exactly.

4. My uncle keeps the family tree. But yes, I think it's well documented. ;)

Did you ever try one of those colorless nail polishes that's supposed to taste so bad you stop biting your nails and cuticles ?

I gave up and bought a pair of sharp small scissors instead, so I cut or scrape loose cuticles when they get loose, makes for less cuticle ripping.

[arafel.livejournal.com]

You get used to the taste. *grins*

It's not an annoyance thing with me - it's a nervous habit. Three boyfriends, my mother, and my husband have tried to break me of it with no luck. Oh well, I'm sure your hands look a lot nicer than mine. :)

[ssilverfish.livejournal.com]

Heee! I *knew* I wasn't the only one who hated Chris Tucker. I think he is so damn annoying...

[arafel.livejournal.com]

I can't watch the Fifth Element without nearly going out of my skull. I want to wring his skinny neck.

[ssilverfish.livejournal.com]

I loved that movie except for him...there was way too much of his nasal yammering in there. I kept hoping he'd get caught in the crossfire.

In general, I dislike people with weird-sounding voices. Joe Pesci also made my list. (In my personal hell, I am required to watch My Cousin Vinnie and excerpts from the Lethal Weapon movies on continuous loop). Fingernails on the chalkboard. Oh, is it too late to add Fran Drescher? Damn...

I also have a big problem with actors who do unconvincing or otherwise over-the-top accents in movies. Stuff like that drives me nuts.

[arafel.livejournal.com]

You must love Meryl Streep. :)

I think My Cousin Vinny was a hilarious movie, but I also live in an area where it's not uncommon to encounter someone with an accent that really is like that. But you're right - Joe Pesci is freaking annoying. And Fran Drescher - someone should just wring her neck.

And while we're at it, Elaine made Seinfeld unwatchable for me. And I can't watch Friends because Monica and pals are just SO stupid.

Now I'm gonna be off on a rant for the rest of the day. *grins*

[ssilverfish.livejournal.com]

Heheh... Meryl's not so bad. I'm thinking more of say, Kevin Costner in Prince of Theives or Nick Nolte in Lorenzo's Oil. Zoiks.

I never got into Friends... to annoying in concept, maybe? That's funny that you mention Elaine from Seinfeld. There are some episodes that Brian can't enjoy because of George's behavior... :)

I also can't stand to watch people embarrass themselves, and thus I avoid Ally McBeal like the plague. I watched one full episode, and it was the one where she's asked to give a eulogy for a former professor with whom she'd had an affair. She ends up saying wildly inappropriate things, of course, before the "heartfelt" conclusion. I wanted to crawl into a hole.

Chris Tucker was in the Fifth Element? hmm, you learn something new every day.

[arafel.livejournal.com]

yeah, he was the really annoying talk show host that you wanted to pummel with a two-by-four.

Oh yeah.... wow
