Dislikes: Creepy old men who think it's endearing to call a girl "darlin'," "sweetie," "honey," or "baby," complete strangers who think it's okay to touch my hair, people who brag about not reading as if it's something to be proud of, weight loss gimmicks, broken headphones, glowsticks, bad pasta, New Jersey highways, the fact that I get over 200 channels and there's never anything to watch, advertising, boys who don't know how to kiss properly, boys who whine about how all the girls who like them compose their crown of thorns, suburban hum-vee assault vehicles, religious fundamentalists, pro-lifers, George W. Bush, people who announce when they're going to the bathroom, diet soda, packing, unpacking, comedians who got famous by pointing out that men are different from women or vice versa, American fashion magazines, ants, bees, wasps, when I can't remember someone's name, the high cost of living, spewers of senseless syntax who think they are James Joyce, voice mail, canned laughter, allergies.
