DISGUSTS - Church-lady perfumes and strong colognes - slow and/or oblivious drivers - blatant ignorance - loud, thundering music blasting from car speakers anywhere within 100 miles of my bedroom - killing my potted plants - not getting to bed on time - work stresses - spam emails that threaten bad luck if I don't forward them to 50 friends in 5 minutes
That's a tough one... growing up, I was always one to focus on one or two very close girlfriends and not keep a broad spectrum of so-so friends at hand. Now, in adulthood, I've realized that you NEED a myriad of friends to keep you grounded. I'd love to meet new friends that have similar tastes, have the desire to break away from work and home to go out on occasion, but that still have their own lives and don't like going clubbing all weekend long until 3 am. I've become mellow over the years - I've lost the edge. :)
I reach for CDs based on how I'm feeling and my taste in music spans many years of influences, people, and time warps...
