I have to agree with you, August Rush was way too cheesy for words. Freddie Highmore managed to creep me out with his over the top “music will bring us together” acting.

Made of Honor was a bit of a disappointment. It’s a renter.

Came here from Secret Agent Jo’s blog. Love the header!

I don’t mind commenting on blogs that never comment on mine. In fact, I do it fairly regularly. Definitely guilty of #7. I broke up with Facebook several months ago. #20 is a huge peeve of mine. Yes, we all love to get comments, but being a comment whore is repulsive. I think I did it twice and was ashamed after!

LOVE this post!
I ventured here from Dutch Blitz. I also was disappointed by August Rush. My husband is a musician and everyone suggest we get it, “because we’ll LOOOOOVE it!”. So didn’t. But weirdly enough I DID cry in the end!
Great post, love the look of your blog, SO nice on the eyes!

Ha! I’m a violator of the black background and light type but when I first switched to that, most people said they could read it easier, so sorry if I mess with you! I’ve heard my blog won’t post to some readers but I’ve enabled it through blogger, so I’m not sure what’s up with that.

I’m with you on almost all of your other peeves, including password protection and people that bitch about not getting comments — esp. when they comment on my blog about once a month.

For movies, I was really bored with The Nanny Diaries even though I found the book to be pretty entertaining. I also get tired of movies following the same type of plot and become so easily predictable.

Honestly, my biggest pet peeve is people telling other people how they should be using the Internet. I’ve done it before myself, and I regret it. (And I’m doing it now, sort of. Am aware of the irony, trust me, but at least I’m sticking up for tolerance?)

Now when I see a partial feed or whatever else, I just unsubscribe mercilessly, and everyone’s happier–me, for not having to deal with the Suck that is their partial feed or banal post … and them, for not having to worry about conforming to someone else’s expectations. Because, really, why should they have to?

um yes. yes. yes. and yes.

and the white text on black background KILLS ME. i will not read your site. at all. i will click that “x”

also…there’s no rule saying you NEED to post every day..if you have nothing to say, don’t force it, come back tomorrow when you’ve got something to say.

I did manage to find out what a troll was though:

“An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]”

cool.
