Not that I'm unoriginal, but...

I'm completely, totally and unashamedly stealing the idea for this blog post from Lou, over at You'll Live to Dance Another Day. The post was about being an "accidental non conformist" by not liking things that lots of other people seem to like. If you haven't read Lou's blog before, you definately should; she always makes me laugh, she swears a lot less then me and posts a lot more then me, which can only be a good thing, so go check her out.
So, here we go. My list of Things I don't like, that most other people do: 

·        The X Factor, Strictly Come Dancing, Big Brother, I’m a Celebrity... Any other reality TV crap: Programmes like these genuinely hurt my ears, eyes and heart, and I’m pretty sure were designed purely for the purpose of brainwashing and making baby rabbits die, which is terrible really, if you think about it. I’m honestly not sure what the appeal is; If I wanted to watch a group of unfortunate people make fools of themselves/ try and get famous, I would just go in town on a Saturday night and sit in front of Vodka Rev.

·        Sweet sayings that you find on cards/coasters/mugs/facebook “like” pages. Examples off the top of my head: “If  friends were flowers, I’d pick you” “Mothers; goddesses in the eyes of a child. Children; precious gifts in the eyes of their mother” 
What was that noise? Oh, just the sound of me projectile vomming all over the place. Pass the mop.

·        Tattoos. Sorry. I know, I know; I’m not part of the cool gang. I’m not sure why I don’t like them, because I fully appreciate that some of them are works of art. And no, it’s not because I’m scared of the pain; I have piercings and I get a needle shoved in my arm monthly TO GIVE BLOOD (not anything drug related.) I guess I just think that so many people have tattoos that I’d be more individual staying ink-free. Seriously. I am one of the few people I know who doesn’t have tattoos. And plus, we all know that if I get one it will end up either spelt wrong, or I will ask for, ooooo lets say a unicorn (predictable, me?!) and it will end up looking like this:
Try explaining that to the grandchildren. D:
  • Massages from a proffesional: Get your creepy freaking hands off me, pervert fingers. 
  • Roast dinners: Right. It's vegetables. And meat. Let's just clarify; vegetables and meat. Just because it's tarted up with a brown lumpy sauce, does not mean it is any more funky for my taste buds. Plus I get "meat headaches" which is possibly a condition I've made up, but nevertheless; I eat too much meat, I get a headache. 
  • Faux, or real fur clothing: Oh, look! You're wearing an item of clothing that makes you look like a yetti! Do you have a soul? Didn't think so. 
  • Ugg Boots: The less said about these the better. 
So. That was my list. It is just my opinion, and it's not supposed to be deadly serious, so please don't un-follow me if something you like is on that list; it's only light hearted and I honestly don't have anything against the people that do like those things. If you really hate me for this then why not write a list of your own, starting with "Blogger who thinks she's funny, but really only has 24 followers, which is a bit crap tbh." I'd be cool with that.

  1. Haha, how did I not think of Ugg Boots? They look comfy for the first wear, but when your foot slips to the side and it looks like you have two soles, eugh! It creeps me out a little (a lot).

    Also, thank you for the kind words! It wont be long until your readers are increasing 10 fold! xx

  2. I had a pair (not proper ones) as slippers, and I can't deny they were soooo comfy, but when I see people wearing them outside it makes me want to chop off their feet and spray them with disinfectant (and then sew their feet back on, minus the uggs, because I'm nice like that.)
    It's ok, I honestly do really enjoy your blog, it's one of the few I read almost religiously! Xx
