Sarah's List of Insane Pet Peeves and Annoyances, Part 7 (and other stuff)

[batskeets]

The *real* #24 follows:

24) People who make big signs thinking that "quotation marks" are equivalent to a boldface and/or underline ::rotfl::
25) International students who never talk to the locals and NEVER speak in English while they're here. I understand that it's intimidating to use a second language, but whatever happened to experiencing America?!

I found the other half of my payday money--it was indeed in the form of a paper check. Going to the bank is kind of a pain. :p They'd better get my direct deposit working properly by next month, or I'll be supremely annoyed.

Because I haven't geeked out enough yet today, I must mention "This Game Will Eat Your" Soul Calibur 2: I'm currently a Platinum Lieutenant of the Cerberus or something like that. LMAO! I think I may have to start diverting funds back to DDR, though, because they're going to start holding style tournaments soon, so I need to practice the ONE freestyle move that I actually know. ::asflksdalfhksakl::

Speaking of which, playing DDR in your socks HURTS! I think I could have seriously mangled my feet today if I'd been playing barefoot. Those metal thingies are painful. x_x

I keep seeing people I know today. O_o; I ran into Ken from work (who is actually quitting DDS to go work for slave wages at the ODE ;p), Uchida-sensei, and I just saw theho traipsing by outside the Fishbowl.

Anyways, I'm out for now... time to go home and RELAX!

I think it's just in the arcades right now... I've been playing it at the EMU way more often than I probably should! ::rotfl:: I'm not sure when it hits the consoles, though. :)t

25) International students who never talk to the locals and NEVER speak in English while they're here. I understand that it's intimidating to use a second language, but whatever happened to experiencing America?!

Additionally, imigrants who speak decent english, but when with others of their nationality they speak their 1st toungue, and leave those of us who don't speak it out of their conversations. I get really (unecessarily) paranoid about those conversations "What are they talking about? What do they have to hide?"

yeah...DDR in the arcade in bare feet is suboptimal. Usually the screws are mangled -- I cut my hand on one one time.

and as for freestyle...it's all in your style. :) The one thing I don't like about DDRing here in California while I'm here is that everyone has the same style, and does all the same slide steps just the same way, and does all the same tricks....be unique :)

OMG, I *HATE* that quote thing! I invariably end up reading it as implied sarcasm or something.
