Heehee, I love #61 because it has become an extreme dislike of mine here lately!
Most of these annoy me too. I'm easily annoyed so I don't think I'll do a list like this, lol. I'd end up having to use three or four posts!
But I did enjoy reading your list!
I hate #21 too. But I love that picture. Really just love it.
Wow. That's quite the list, Crystal! And here I struggled to come up with a few things I absolutely love for my blog :-)
Japanese food? You MUST be kidding! Hibachi and fried rice are my FAVORITES. Even have corrupted my kids....my 4 & 6 yr olds will request we eat Hibachi over McDonald's--now for that age, that's awesome! LOL
LOL, Robin, everyone loves Japanese food, it seems. I love trying new things, but once you have had it, and then you don't want to eat it, but someone continues to insist you will love it, is what I'm talking about here. (ha) What happens when you actually voice that you don't like to do something or eat something(and I don't say so until I've really tried it)--it seems to become a challenge for someone else to "convince" you that you will love it, too. "How could you not? I LOVE IT!"
I appreciate that you and your kids love it. My four boys, who love everything Japanese would join you. (And their best friend, "Jon the Mon" who is studying the Japanese language at Purdue and plans on living there, will also join you.) I do not wish to offend my Japanese friends, but the food isn't all my "cup o' tea." Maybe I just haven't had the one thing of the Japanese food that I would love. I love much about the culture.
Food is always the thing that divides and conquers most people over every other topic. People go to war over diets. It always amazes me. I would eat your Hibachi and rice if you asked me to (along with a piece of chocolate--not my favorite) but I wouldn't love it. LOL. I like rice, so maybe we would start there. Ha. Forget it if it has fish in it.
Several of these jumped out at me...but hey--I have a mini van! LOL
LOL, Sabrina, no offense, but I hated driving a mini-van. Nothing personal...
Do you know what's funny? I'm not nuts about Japanese food, either! (Oh, horror! The loud Asian chick hates her own ethnic eats!)
