This is a list of all the things I don't like. People who can't spell 'legend'. People who too easily award the honorific 'legend'. People who describe fairly ordinary behaviour or events as 'legendary'. People who abbreviate the word 'legend'. Witless graffiti. Girls who scowl when they are uncertain. Men who play team sports of any kind, with the exceptions of cricket, wrestling and doubles table tennis. Men who only know how to display affection for other men by abusing them. Failure to obey library laws. My inability to score in the library. The conflict that arises within when considering whether or not to break the unwritten 'no rutting in the library' rule were I to score in the library. Performance poets with moron politics. People who complain about political correctness. People who huff, sigh, or place their heads in their hands when someone is addressing them. The absence of universal liposuction for every man, woman and child, on demand, regardless of financial means - this is fight worth fighting. Advertising that tries to be my 'friend'. Brain fug. The necessity of massive exertion. That the preferred way of having fun, meeting people, making friends and generally living life for my demographic is really unpalatable to me. That this is how I get my kicks.
This is a list of things I like. Treacle.
'Pathological specimen - extreme danger of infection'. How would you handle finding this piece of tupperware on the kerb?

To this I wish to add the abuse, or over use, and therefore cheapening, of the word "awesome". I'm reasonably anti-transcendental, but first we lost awful and now awesome is slipping away from having anything to do with it's root word. How is the modern speaker meant to express a sense of awe, I ask you? Call things "Awey"? Christ.
