You know what really grinds my gears?

Childhood sentimental crap. I'm trying to clean out my closet right now and I can't bare to part with things from my childhood. I have my American Girl dolls which I don't think I've touched even in the last 7 years, but there they are sitting in my closet and I just can't get rid of them. I don't know if I'm planning on saving them for when I have kids of my own, cause honestly, I never wanted to play with the dolls my mom had when she was a kid. They were old and smelled funny and not nearly as sexy looking as Pink Starlight Barbie. I don't want to give them to goodwill because the girls who will buy them there won't know to use a wig brush on their hair, and oh my god you need to use a wig brush! As I'm typing this right now I'm watching a vhs tape with a special on the spice girls that I recorded ages ago and I can't even part with that. I will likely never watch this tape again, but it's just too damned hard to get rid of. I'm 24, when do I want to get rid of it?

You know what really grinds my gears?

The music on the radio after 2 am. It's all this whiney soft rock stuff that's annoying as hell to listen to when I'm wide awake and is the last thing I want to listen to when I'm driving home trying to stay awake. Like, in a way I can understand them wanting to play mellower stuff late at night, but honestly most people who listen to the radio that night are probably driving home and need something with a kick to it. John Meyer does not have a kick to him, and I don't particular like listening to him anyways, but at night he's all over the radio. Not just on Alice or Mix 106.5, where I might expect to see him. Live 105 played him too! He does not belong there at all! Nor does Coldplay, who I actually like from time to time, but is a wee bit too mellow for what I need at that time. I'm just saying if I were a DJ, I'd be cranking up the Flagpole Sitta or Enter Sandman or just anything that would make all those people out there still awake wanna turn up the radio and sing along. If you listen to the radio to fall asleep NPR's always there for you...
