The List Volume XXXVII

By |February 4th, 2011|The List|

I wonder at times if someone has a voodoo doll with my face on it because the hits just keep on coming…

  1. Cantaloupe.  It’s bullshit filler fruit. Why do you insist on putting it in my fruit salad?
  2. Old people (the executive types) who keep trying to use “social media” but have no idea how to log onto Facebook.
  3. Celebrity perfumes. I do not, by any means want to smell like Halle Berry, Jennifer Anniston, or Britney Spears. Remember when actors just used to —act?
  4. The guy on the treadmill next to me boxing with the TV screen. Is that really necessary, sir?
  5. Camping.
  6. The buzz word “curated.”  Enough already.
  7. WHAT THE F*$^ are these?
  8. That big bootied celeb who complained about those (heavily photoshopped) photos in W. I can’t bring myself to say her name.
  9. People who are basically just waiting for you to stop talking so they can talk.
  10. Hosni Mubarak

The List Volume XXXVI

By |January 28th, 2011|The List|

Ah yes, it is that time of the week.  The list.  It never ceases to amaze me that so many things can be so obnoxious.

  1. The post office. Why is there always a line? What is so difficult?
  2. Willow Smith in Vanity Fair. Isn’t she like two?
  3. Why does my yogurt have a twitter logo on it? I can’t click it. I also don’t want to follow you on twitter, yogurt.
  4. “Fashion” bloggers who can’t spell the names of designers.
  5. People who don’t know how to merge (the cause of all LA traffic).
  6. Greasy bangs. Ew. Just ew.
  7. Brain freeze.
  8. Friends with Benefits coming out right after No Strings Attached. How did the exact same movie get made twice? Like, who forgot to pass along that memo?
  9. Sleeveless turtlenecks. Um? Oxymoron, no?
  10. Charlie Sheen. Seriously, get. it. together.

The List Volume XXXV

By |January 8th, 2011|The List|

Sorry for the delay. Traveling from one coast to the other has a tendency to throw you somewhat off schedule. That being said, airports are a great place to gather annoyance.  Without further adieu, here is this week’s list in its regular format.

  1. Mr. Pibb instead of Dr. Pepper. You’re not fooling anyone.
  2. Overly plucked eyebrows.
  3. Jeans without pockets. They’re just about as bad as leggings in my book. Plus NO ONE looks good in them. I don’t care how cute your tuchus is. 
  4. Flameless candles. I mean, really? Aren’t those just called lights?
  5. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. I don’t know about you, but the last thing I wanted as an 18 year old young woman was a 16 year old boy.
  6. Ingrown hairs.
  7. Kim Kardashian’s nose 3.0. Stop preaching to little girls to “learn to love what they see in the mirror” when what you really mean is “make a sex tape that makes you enough money so you can afford to change anything you don’t like in the mirror.”
  8. Paying for luggage on airplanes.  Perhaps if you didn’t charge us, there wouldn’t be such a clusterfuck when it comes to the overhead bins.
  9. Self entitled undeserving people.  Know your role. And while we’re at it, slow your roll.
  10. Cankles.

The List Volume XXXIV

By |December 31st, 2010|The List|

It has been a long and very interesting year for me. So many things have happened I can’t even believe where I was this time last year.  It was difficult, but I went through all of my posts from the past year and chose ten of my favorites to revisit.

WhyDid’s Year in Review:

  1. My Hedgehog Ate My Homework… Always be sure to do your homework!
  2. A Word to the Wise – How not to wake up alone at 30.
  3. A Bag Full of Shit– Did you have to let it linger?
  4. … Just Right! Guess which porridge I chose?
  5. Shake Ya Tailfeather… “hairy is scary and no one is down with that brown.”
  6. Text in the City – Technology will ruin your love life.
  7. Cover Your Tracks. My obsession with white girl weaves.
  8. Love is a Choice – The way I figured out how to love.
  9. Kicking and Screaming – How temper tantrums will ruin your life.
  10. Heatrbreak, Party of One. How to get over a breakup in no time flat.

And one for good luck: Sometimes You Gotta Be Your Own Girl

Happy New Year. Be safe and I’ll see ya on the other side.

The List Volume XXXIII

By |December 25th, 2010|The List|

A few weeks ago I asked WhyDid readers on Facebook what they most wanted for Christmas.  Surprisingly, the overwhelming answer was love.  There is nothing I would wish more for anyone. That answer warmed my cold little heart. So, in that regard, I hope that everyone wishing for love receives it from the fat man in a red suit.

My love and I decided to go ahead and open our gifts on the 23rd. I guess we just couldn’t wait. Needless to say, I’m a very lucky girl. You know who isn’t lucky? The person who received the Lego set that I ordered for my boo on Amazon.com. See, my fiance has wanted two things all his life, Legos and apparently a tea set (his mother just showed me his childhood Christmas list). So, I ordered him Legos this year, but when the box arrived, I saw that the card said something really ridiculous, “Merry Christmas (part 1) Hunnah Bunnah.” When I saw this, I thought I must have been drunk when ordering (it is possible), but upon opening the gift, we found a camera rather than Legos. Score for us… maybe not so much for the gentleman who received a Lego excavator.

Anyway, since you all were so kind as to tell me what you wanted for Christmas… here’s my list:

  1. For everyone to have and feel as much love as I do.
  2. For everyone to just stop trying so hard.
  3. For everyone to treasure what matters most. We can’t choose our family, but we can choose our friends. Both are invaluable -love hard and choose wisely.
  4. For everyone to remember where their hometown is. Don’t forget your roots (literally and figuratively).
  5. For shows like Teen Mom, Bad Girls Club, and Keeping up with the Kardashians to all be canceled and shows like Who’s the Boss?, Cheers, and Golden Girls to come back in style.
  6. For ex’s to be banished to far away lands never to be seen or heard from again.
  7. For people who wear winter hats/scarves with tank tops and short sleeves to just stop. I hate contradictions. Careful your arms don’t fall off.
  8. For everyone to get their own brains. Stop copying and start being original! It’s invigorating!
  9. For all puppies and children to have warm, safe, happy safe homes.
  10. For everyone who wears leggings as pants to be subject to a serious fine and possible time behind bars.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
