bothersome things 004-6.

004. pillow problems.
it may seem like a tiny affliction, but it's much more serious than it seems. i have two pillows. one that is thin and overused and caved in and quite small and a bit hard too, and the other that is new, fluffy and so very large. for a few weeks, i will use one with ease and delicious comfort, until suddenly, my neck is very sore for days on end and i cannot find a single comfortable position, at all, stomach, sides, back, halfway between. so, i switch to the other, until it does just the same thing. either way, i have a stiff neck most days. very irritating.

005. people who spend all of their time hating something.
really? i cannot believe some people do this, but it is very very common. some people join groups to support the cause in which they are against something. there are plenty of websites out there that exist simply to talk about things they hate. certainly, if it is with cause, it can be acceptable. i think it is perfectly fine for people to band together against terrorism or animal cruelty, but when people are against something that in no way affects them, for example a celebrity or a song of some sort, it's a bit much. it's normal for people not to like something, but not to devote so much effort and time to that hatred. it's not too hard to turn your head the other way, is it?

006. flakiness.
i am realizing more and more lately how difficult it is to depend on anyone other than yourself. honestly, is it a new trend to say you will do something and not do it? lack of commitment is so very frustrating! it is very irritating to include someone in plans, or plan around a person, only to have them back out or 'have something come up' when they could either warn you ahead of time that it may not work out, or straight-forward tell you that they would not make it (simply because they did not want to). nine times out of ten (based upon statistics of my own life in the past few weeks or s) people will not pull through. i think i may stop inviting people to do things altogether, however i fear that might turn me into a hermit, but that is an entirely different story.
