Things that make me sick

So I already posted this article on facebook, but I need to expand on my thoughts on this a little.

What the hell kind of parents let their kid drop out to play video games professionally? Do they want to make a real life 40 year old virgin?! That guy had friends, at least, so I think they still have a lot of hard work ahead of them. I don't have kids, so, obviously, I don't really know how to raise one, but this just screams idiocy to me! Did they think that maybe the kid has no social skills because they let him sit in his room all day "perfecting his craft"?! When I become a parent, you can bet your ass I'm going to be a PARENT, not a friend. I'm not even going to be a cool parent. No underage drinking parties at my house, so I can 'keep an eye on everyone', that shit needs to be done in the woods, with a stolen beer or two, just like we did when I was a teenager, where your parents don't know about it.

Something else that just makes me want to bitch slap parents. It's getting to be that time of year again, Halloween! While it's my favorite holiday by far, I canNOT condone the "teen" costumes. Some of them are no more than a neglige and a cape! Yeah, I'm going to send my 15 year old daughter out to a party dressed as SuperHOro. If I had one, but you get what I mean. I'm so sick of the 'heiress' factor. Why is this country regressing to the 1800's, where your worth is decided on how much money your parents had? At least back then, the girls covered up their prepubescent bodies. Their parents also sold them off to the highest bidder, I wonder when that's going to come back en vogue?

Completely on topic, but unrelated to idiot parents, in the vein of things that make me sick, is cottage cheese. I've been trying and trying and trying to like it. I mix it with ranch packets (the staple seasoning in my apartment) pineapples, strawberries, even chocolate. Nothing will ever make curdled milk that squelches as you pour it from the container appealing. And all those people who are all 'oh, I love it, I have a quarter cup with my slice of grapefruit and decaf earl grey every morning' are liars. The grapefruit clinches that one. Grapefruit tastes like your mouth after you've been puking up Smirnoff Ice for the last hour.

Don't get me wrong, though. Grapefruit has its place. As candy. It's sort of like tomatoes, I hate them, but I love marinara and salsa. You have to mix in enough shit with grapefruit to completely negate any healthy benefits it may afford you.

There's nothing you can mix in with cottage cheese to ever make it good, though. Trust me, I notice when you add that shit in to lasagne. It's not cool.
