When NOT To Mess With Joelle

I'm a pretty laid-back person, overall. I can take a joke. (Usually it's because I made it.) Yes, I have one or two berserk buttons, but doesn't everyone? On the whole, I consider myself an entirely affable person. Nothing really fazes me on a day-to-day basis. But there are certain small things that, when stacked on top of each other, turn me into the MOST ANGRY PERSON EVER.

AKA today. Today I'm angry for no good reason whatsoever - just a whole bunch of bad ones. So I figured I'd provide a go-to list so my faithful family, friends, and stalkers know what not to do today. Hence:

THE LIST OF THINGS THAT PISS JOELLE OFF:

1) Alarm clocks. (Especially the loud ones that go off every five minutes because SOMEONE doesn't want to wake up. I'm looking at YOU, roomie.)
2) Cold weather. Extra points for cold, rainy weather.
3) Professors who don't teach.
4) Dumb computer programs that serve no detectable purpose.
5) Professors who don't teach and use dumb computer programs that serve no detectable purpose.
6) Incompetent classmates who can't do their own work.
7) Cramps.
8) Retarded drivers who either don't know that pedestrians have the right-of-way or just don't care.
9) Almost getting hit crossing University Drive because drivers are retarded.
10) Email spam.
11) Anyone touching my hair.
12) Getting glares from the roomie because I'm being 'loud' and waking her up WHILE HER ALARM IS GOING OFF.
13) People who can't tell that I'm ANGRY and don't know to LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE.
14) Not having a punching bag on which to vent my frustrations.
15) Dumb online homework.

THE LIST OF THINGS MAKING ME FEEL BETTER RIGHT NOW:

1) Writing this in chem class under the nose of my prof, who's teaching something I already know anyway.
2) The fact that this is my 69th post. -immature giggle-
3) Knowing that I get to kill someone in my novel tonight.
4) Not having to wake up at seven in the morning because my lab was cancelled this week.
5) Only having six classes between me and Thanksgiving Break, aka freedom.
6) Actually figuring out how I can make the Madrigals Dinner back home. :D

On the whole, the final score is ANGRY 15, THRILLED 6, when on most days I have two or three ANGRY points tops.

I really need some chocolate. That usually tips the scale. :)
