Mostly it's people, including myself....
1) Lazy typers. The shift button is there for a reason. Buggering words up the arse so much they become a mangled shadow of their former self to look "cool" is... not "cool". Not at all.

2) Self declared people. Saying "I'm a writer/poet/artist/musician!" does not make you one. It makes you look vain when in fact all you really do is scribble a few words/lines/notes every so often. And the majority of those are not even good. No effort. To become an artist, you have to make something of yourself. You can not just declare it so, you look like a wanker. I've loved making art my whole life, but I am not an artist. I am an art student and will be until I die.

3) The Rage. This is what I get when I get angry. Blame it on being a Taurus and so a stompy bull seeing red all I like, it still pisses me off. Yes, even more than I already would be if I had The Rage. It takes over me, making me spout a load of bollocks that I wouldn't otherwise say or mean, and makes me look like a horrible, horrible person. I'm not horrible, honestly! It can upset alot of people.

4) Certain words. "Lol" and "ass" and anything with a zed in it are perfect examples. Agh, give me a fork to stab out my eyes!

5) Bad days. Things where everything seems to go wrong. Like the day I got a cold, sold my beloved car and was throwing up with a migraine at the same time. Or today, where wires have been crossed that was neither my or the messenger's fault, a person has pissed me off causing The Rage, and it has upset someone very close to me.

6) People telling me my hair is long. Really.... what?! Oh my, so it is! I never in the whole time it was attached to my head noticed this amazing, wonderous fact! It reaches my knees, so it is long, but they don't need to tell me this. They then go on to spout a varying combination of the same meaningless questions I always get asked. I'm planning to get a t-shirt made with the answer written on it.

7) The "little" things. It seems for everyone it's the little things that make you snap. They build up and up and up causing wild mental anger, that nobody else understands because "och, it was only a little thing." Yes, and another and another and another....

8) Ignorant people who don't try to understand at all. For example, the neds who kill you if you look like a goth, or those who think that people who have or do date over the internet are "poor, sad, pathetic wee people" who "need to get out more".

9) The invisable button on this tiny keyboard. I bought myself a microscopic ASUS EEE a few weeks back and the shift button to the right of the keyboard is so tiny I sometimes miss it. When that happens I somehow press a magic button that deleted everything I've just taken ages typing on the other microscopic keys. I've tried to replicate it, but it's not there. I swear there is some invisable button that only pops out when I'm not paying full attention to where my shift seeking finger is meandering.

10) The Safe Place. This is a vortex that sucks up anything I have sat down in a safe and secure place so I will be able to find it later. So far it has my prescription sunglasses and an abundance of other little things. It had my gloves for a while, but then released the once winter was passed.

I think I'll stop there before I get carried away =p

Um
I am a musician. I've been playing for 21 years, I play in a band and make a good second income from it. I believe that entitles me to call myself a musician - it's not self-agrandisement it's a statement of fact.

Also, I get wound up by people who think that the month they were born in somehow controls their personality. "I'm a Taurus which is why I get angry". Noooo, sorry it's not.

I have an invisible key that brings up a search window that I then find myself continuing to type into,,
I have no fucking idea what it is or what it's meant to do (typing a word into it seems to call up bugger all that makes any sense to what was typed) nor what key combo called it up, but every now and again when I'm typing at speed, whoops, there it is...

Oh, and on number 6 about hair, people keep telling me I'm going grey. I'm fucking 40 and have been 'going grey' since I was in my twenties, you think they would stop being surprised by now...

I get angry.
But I call it The Anger.

It's only happened twice ever.
Not nice.

One day though, with the right QOTW, I'll tell the story.

Number 10
there's one of them in my house too. I only ever find things three days after I gave up looking for them.

I play in a band
we've had zero gigs so far, but have a repertoire of a lot of original material

I don't make any money from this

I'm still a musician. I write and play music to a decent standard therefore I'm a musician.

musician
–noun
1. a person who makes music a profession, esp. as a performer of music.
2. any person, whether professional or not, skilled in music.

Art is a different matter, because it is more subjective.

Not making your bed is not art.
