THINGS THAT MAKE ME MAD

1. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS
In Mississippi you had to have vehicle inspections, but the inspection consisted of pulling into any car shop turning on and off your lights, blinkers, high beams, brake lights and honking your horn. In the crazy city of Memphis, getting a passing grade on your vehicle means these things:

• Waiting in line for at least an hour (waisting your lunch break)
• If you are like me getting incredibly nervous when its your turn for fear you might fail
• Nervously following all the inspectors instructions as they test your emergency brake(who uses their emergency break), your emissions, and lots of other things.
• Failing because you have a stupid crack in your windshield at the very bottom that you would never get fixed otherwise because you plan on getting a new car very soon.
• Calling to get the windshield prepared and spending money to have it replaced
• Spending another hour of your life and your lunch break waiting in line so they can pass you now that you got your windshield fixed.

Aagggh! And what really makes me mad is that if you live in Germantown or Collierville or any of those places you do not have to go through all of this. But they are DRIVING ON THE SAME ROADS AS US!

2. THE HILLS
Yes I realize this is very different than the thing listed before it but it is also something that I am very angry with. Last night was the premiere of the mini season they are doing. And boy was I DISAPPOINTED! When this show started three years ago it was so good. It was so interesting to see what life was like for Lauren and her friends working at fun places like Teen Vogue and the PR firm Bolt House. But through the years and the seasons of this show it has gotten fake and faker. Till we arrived last night at a show that should of not been dubbed reality television at all. The episode had Lauren getting in these crazy predicaments that if you ask me made her look extremely irresponsible. The entire thing came off as totally staged and pathetic. I am really sad and angry about it and considering boycotting the show.

(although I will probably not)
