pen_gruntDid anyone else notice that their "friends" have now become "mateys" and their "members of" are now "crew member of" on their user info pages?
To post, it's "update captain's log" (which reminds me more of Star Trek than anything else).
Yeah, it's talk like a pirate day alright. Talking like a pirate has lost its humor ever since I had to do a stint writing for an animated pirate. There's good pirate talk, and there's bad pirate talk people--you can't just throw around disjointed phrases and expect to be taken seriously as a pirate. Wait, is that an oxymoron?
I must be very tired, I seem to have lost my sense of humor today. There were too many gratuitous "bridezillas" thrown around (and really, I'm not...and so being called one really ticks me off when people don't understand the concept of NOT being a "bridezilla"), too many "aww, do you want a baby toos" directed at me (when I was holding and cooing over a co-worker's newborn) and too many other stupid things said to me today for me to have a sense of humor anymore. Maybe I'm just stressed--or maybe my pet peeves are just ganging up on me today.
Weddings and babies are serious life decisions. I don't enter them lightly--therefore people having the audacity to joke about them constantly (and no, it's not just one person and not just one time) is really irritating. I understand that some people have disposable marriages and pop out semi-wanted and unplanned children that they can't afford--but I do not. This does not make me a bad person. It does not make me uptight. It simply makes me tired of all the jabs.
Then when the jabs come with an "arrgh matey" it makes them all the more grating.

Love and Hugs

Avast ye!
