I think that my friends here in A2 think that *I* deserve that award sometimes
I'm wondering if I am being too moody sometimes, reacting too strongly to things. I just want to reserve the right to be pissed off at things. Like how I am annoyed by the fact that the Get Fuzzy feed gets like 30 comments as soon as it is posted. I like reading comments sometimes, but only when they aren't all about creating icons, or another person's icon, or about how cute sachel is. Frankly, the plethora of stupid comments just drown out any clever comments made maybe by me or others and make reading the comment thread really annoying. So why did I read them? Its because I like a sense of community and I like to talk about funny things.
Sometimes, things anger my political bone, for instance, when I do a Live Journal search for fun (because there is nothing else to do) and I find a stupid political cartoon, blaming the MEDIA for the Iraqi Prisoner scandal. Alternatly, things I normally check irritate me, like this week's "Say Something Funny" in the AV Club. It's not funny at all and represents a serious problem with the Onion, its lack of being cutting edge anymore. The column this week basically says that its funny that Americans are angry when polititains lie to us about taking us into a meaningless war that got over 500 Americans KILLED, wasted billions of tax dollars and turned a scary but stable country into a scary AND unstable country. Most polititians lie about stuff that does not create that, and I am tired of hearing that polititians are supposed to lie. Some polititians, the good ones, don't lie, but I digress.
But my problem is not that I am pissed, but that when I talk about how I am pissed, I am told why I am wrong to be angry. That is not at all what I want, I want someone to say "Jeez, yeah" and then talk about an equally aggravating moment.
Can I reserve the right to be pissed at stuff and not told why I shouldn't be pissed? Is it asking too much if I want my friends to agree with me unless I am horribly terribly wrong or asking to be placated? I'm tired of complaining about being pissed and then being told that I a) complain all the time or b) just shouldn't do the things that have the remotest possibility of pissing me off, like its my fault that people are stupid. I just want the right to be irritated and not be told that what I am feeling is wrong.
