We'll have to agree to disagree on the Twilight thing - well actually I agree the films are terrible, but enjoyed the books in their twaddletastic way, reminded me of being a teen - but am with you on pretty much everything else. Ok, maybe not animal print either, but absolutely on mad percentages, the cupcakeisation of society and misery lit. Did I share my all time favourite misery lit title?<br /><br /><br />"Ma, he sold me for a few cigarettes"<br /><br /><br />The follow up is "Ma, I've got meself locked up in the madhouse"! Doesn't it make you just want to snuggle up all cosy under a blanket and read about child abuse? People who choose this stuff must be a bit odd.<br /><br />I enjoy a good rant anyway, as I'm prone to them myself. I just did that A to Z of me post which is doing the rounds, and the longest entry was probably P for Pet Peeves. I have many.Lakota [Faith Hope and Charity Shopping]https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247624645636227130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-87723830831513136822011-09-23T17:40:58.117+01:002011-09-23T17:40:58.117+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lakota [Faith Hope and Charity Shopping]https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247624645636227130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-5405562841484771832011-09-22T14:38:24.650+01:002011-09-22T14:38:24.650+01:00Fizzy piss?

I used to hate pink, then discovered I can do hot pink. But I hate it being equated with girliness and everything being so sugary, yuk. Same with leopard print, it can be so cheap and tacky but when done right I adore it. I adore ugg boots, as SLIPPERS. They should never be worn anywhere out of the house. Enjoyed Twilight the book, thought the film was completely awful. Like dogs in general, but hate those scrawny little rat-dogs. I enjoy cupcakes, because they are cakes, but wish people would stop going on about them. There is a difference between cupcakes and fairy cakes, cupcakes are actually bigger. Hence I like them more! Don't mind harem trousers, when done correctly, but can't see the point of peep-toe boots. Soaps and tragic life books I agree are totally awful in every way, and I despise New Year. xxPenny Dreadful Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658769790784076024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-62764918459590493162011-09-18T19:31:03.543+01:002011-09-18T19:31:03.543+01:00Haha, it disturbs be how many of those things that...Haha, it disturbs be how many of those things that I agree with you on!

...Oh God...where do I start with my list of hates? <br /><br />Bad spelling/grammar really annoys me.<br /><br />Someone said Crocs, I agree with them. <br /><br />I hate pretty much every song from after 2006. I just don't get new music.<br /><br />Oh and chavvy, orange girls with bleached hair and inch thick makeup. <br /><br />They're the first few things that popped in my head so I'll leave it at that.

I daresay I'd offend quite a few people by ranting up about it, I'll probably keep them to myself, for now at least. I hate peeptoes with a vengeance, they should be outlawed. <br />Oh and I possibly would describe myself as an angry person.

I also used to get really pissed off about "cupcakes", to me they were either "fairy cakes" or "buns" but now I think they're slightly different. They're much bigger, have straighter sides and way more icing, maybe even a milkier batter(?) Unfortunately I do like a bit of pink, not sugary or super bright pink though.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922950133889230965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-67589295962980573512011-09-17T00:48:06.953+01:002011-09-17T00:48:06.953+01:00I'm with you on a lot of these, especially the...I'm with you on a lot of these, especially the 110% and Americanisms, although only namby pambys say fairy cakes - they're buns!<br /><br />My pet hate is people who go up at the end of a sentence as if they are asking a question.<br /><br />Oh and swearing in the street and public places.Little Blue Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616392505984609128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-30840459519956393942011-09-16T23:27:19.528+01:002011-09-16T23:27:19.528+01:00Alex - I love you.

Pink's probably my least favourite colour, I don't like leopard print or other animal prints, I'm of the variety where I think it looks better on the animals and while I do like vampires I much prefer the old horror ones with fangs like the Morganville vamps or Anne Rice's ones, but I get you. I think this is one of my favourite posts you've ever done.

Victorian Vampire fiction can never be bettered and I can think of better things to spend £4 on than a glossy magazine comprising 90% adverts and 10% photoshoots featuring £3,000 tutu's. I am partial to pink though and I love a good fairy cake.Sarah Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17530253746802487595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-80743815086734532892011-09-16T17:10:17.144+01:002011-09-16T17:10:17.144+01:00That post made me grin!
