DELICACY. NOT!
One thing that I think is kinda dopey is when people misuse the word delicacy.
For instance a couple conversations I've been involved in, went to the topic of chocolate covered grasshoppers and bugs. There's always someone who says, "Oh yeah, that's a delicacy." NO IT'S NOT! Delicacy means:fineness of texture, quality, etc.; softness AND something delightful or pleasing, esp. a choice food considered with regard to its rarity, costliness, or the like: Caviar is a great delicacy. Grasshoppers, crickets, ants, etc; are a dime a dozen OR FREE. They are NOT delicate OR fine. They are NOT quality and rare. They are gross. Caviar is a delicacy. It's not easy to get and it's costly and fine. So is fois gras. Another few times I'd be in conversations where people talk about how dog and cat are eaten in China or the Phillipines. Well I can vouch for that, I've seen them hanging in their meat markets next to the goats and sheep. And again NOT A DELICACY FOLKS! Dog and cat are easy to come by and are eaten by poor folk who can not afford anything else. Nothing fine here. No rarity involved here either. CATS and DOGS ARE NOT A DELICACY! Unless you're a dumb ass fool, these animals should not be exploited as food or for their fur. (Remember the Burlington Coat Factory fiasco?) They are our friends. Now repeat after meCats and Dogs are our friends and I will not wear or eat a cat or dog under any circumstances.

Controlling People
I fucking HATE surprises.
My friend (we'll call her M.) goes and buys tickets for a charity dinner, assuming that I couldn't possibly have plans for anything important on a Friday night.
OOOOOO! I'm seathing still, she's such a PILL sometimes. Well, I do have plans for that night to see the Blue Man Group. I told her I'm not canceling. I was the one who planned and organised this outing for 4 of us. She's pissed now. I'm not sure if she's pissed because she's disappointed in her "fucking up" or pissed cause I'm not writing her a check for the charity in the amount of the ticket she got for me. Why the fuck should I? I'm not into causes, shitty as it sounds, I'm really not.
I've had a spell of crappy luck with contractors from hell and I don't have cash to burn like in the good ol' days before owning property. And if I'm not getting a nice meal, caviar and champagne.....NO CHECK. So now we're not on speaking terms. Isn't that just!? I called just to say hi, today (all of the above happened last Wednesday) and I get her answering machine and voice mail. Why do some people get so juvenile when they don't get their way? It was such a controlling thing to do and I will tell her that if she ever calls me. She should know I DON'T DO CONTROLLING WELL. My actual thoughts on her now, is that she's just a pathetic flighty woman desperate to meet a man ie; charity events etc that she just for a second forgot how to be considerate of other people, like me. I'm getting sick of being dragged around to things by desperate women. I'm being used as the "ice breaker" and I'm sick of this shit already.
