I love salami. I often eat it when I make sandwiches at home, though I never order it when I eat out. Is it even available? Well, I do love it, anyway... but I have to say that I don't want to taste it in the morning. I'm taking these vitamin-things, and for some reason, they leave a taste of salami in my throat... no matter how much water I chase them down with. I don't like it. I don't want to taste salami in the morning.
I have many pet peeves. Little things make me happy... and likewise... little things get me annoyed. Most of them have to do with driving habits. But I have now added a different sort of pet peeve to my list. I like playing cards. I really enjoy large card games. And sometimes, during those games, one person is winning and must be stopped. This is normal strategy. It is a strategy that is difficult for me to grasp and even remotely enjoy... however, I often feel that I do not have the brain capacity to fully comprehend and execute many card strategies so this is not the problem. My pet peeve is when the person who was winning actually wins (because of a failing in the anti-winner strategy and execution), and then other card players shame the person that "allowed" it (whether they could have possibly foreseen a better play or not). Why in the world does a card game need to have that much stress!?! I will be the first to tell you that I am competitive and I much prefer to win than lose, but if the game is over and the deed is done, can't we just relax and have fun? Its a game!
Long underwear. Do I need long underwear for St. Louis? It occurs to me, as I sit here at my desk still bundled up in my fleece jacket, that I may need to layer my pants to stay warm.... hmmm... Of course, my current state of warmth may have something to do with the fact that I'm drinking Diet Coke... Note to self: buy tea in St. Louis.
How many square feet in an apartment are not enough for 2 people? And how much is just unnecessary? Should I pay $300 a month for a place with 700 square ft? Or $400 for 1,340 square ft?
I get to pretty much choose my last day at work... and even though they don't need anyone in this position after I leave, I still feel that it would be courteous of me to give 2 weeks notice. I've talked with my boss and she really doesn't care when my last day is... so I'm still deciding. Should I end before Christmas? Or should I go back and work the three days between Christmas and New Year's so that I can get to two paid days from Christmas? Will I want to bother with it? Or would the bother be worth the money? Ugh... Note to self: call and pester apartment people for more info so decision can be better made.

I would like to apologize if I added to your stress when we played tragique the other night. I realize I'm very strategy-oriented and also absurdly competitive, so I am sorry. Will you still play cards with me?
Is the apartment 700 sq. feet, or your room? It sounds like a good deal to me, honestly, if that's your room.
I need to call you. Not that I have anything to say, but, I need to.
Yeah.
No no, it wasn't you... its just that playing cards the other night reminded me of other card games and thats when I came to believe I had a pet peeve.
The apartment is 700 square ft and the fee would be my half of the rent
Okay... remember my apartment across the street from APU? Well that apartment was 750 sq. ft. and freakin small. I guarantee you will be happier in teh 1300 or whatever. much bigger and a bit jealous. But the 700 sq. ft. is too small. ouch. of course my opinion. hehe
Well, it might have been small, but the apartment I had at Biola was much smaller (probably about 400-500 square feet), and 3 of us lived there for one semester. So anything would be a step-up for me.
The year that I lived with the five other girls, our entire house was 1100 sq. feet. $400/mo for 1300? I would totally go for that. :)
