Ambition.
How can people be entertained or even enraptured when those who generally succeed experience failure? It's more upsetting than enthralling to see those who try their utmost to attain whatever it is that they're after, fall short of their goals.
Success is something that one must earn. For example, nerds have to put in endless hours of studying to achieve the grades that they do. Someone who has not put in a comparable time commitment has no right to resent the studious for getting better marks. Moreover, he or she should be considerate enough not to gloat when the nerd has not reaped the outcome they had strived for.
Telling someone who really wanted something and tried their utmost to get it to be happy with what they've got and to stop complaining, completely disregards not only their commitment and effort but also their ambition.
Just because you lack ambition, does not mean that other people have the same outlook as you. I am not ashamed to say that I am ambitious. Unfortunately I failed to attain something that I had aspired to get for years, which I will never have another chance at. Of course, that is really upsetting. Knowing that others are happy that I failed at getting the one thing which I wanted more than anything I have ever wanted (which is saying a lot, because I tend to want everything), serves only to shatter even more. Thanks dickhead, for understanding how much I wanted this, and for appreciating the amount of effort I had invested to improve my chances only to attain no end result.

Another thing that annoys me.
I hate it when people criticise my lifestyle. If I was doing something detrimental to my health like eating detergent, then it might be more acceptable to point out the error of my ways, but just because I don't have the exact same diet as whoever decides to criticise me, does not mean that I am sending myself to an early deathbed.
What pisses me off even more about the criticisms proffered by concerned individuals, is that the advice that they offer would eventuate in me having an even poorer diet. I hate when people suggest meals that I should make, on the assumption that my mother and I cannot be bothered cooking because it is just the two of us. Just to get a few things straight; no, we do not live on microwavable ready-made meals; no, we do not consume greasy takeaways on a regular basis; and, amazingly enough, we do actually have six serves of vegetables in a day.
So you can take your stupid porridge, and curried eggs, and cheese and tomato on toast; and shove it. My body would not benefit from adopting the same diet as you; moreover, I do not have any desire to alter my eating patterns. How I treat my body is my own decision, so stay the fuck out of it and don't try to change me.

Yet another social networking pet hate.
It's really annoying when people describe their physical appearance on their social networking profiles. I know it's a small thing to pick at, but it infuriates me! Why would someone do that in the first place?!?!?!
hiiiiii im natasha and ummmm dunno wat tooo rite haha lolz!!!!111!!!! i am 150cm tall and way 5548934094096 kilograms and have blonde hairrrrr and brown eyes ahahahaha lolz! hahahah lolz and thats a bit about meeeeee!!!!111!!!
Yes, that was very painful to write, in case you were wondering. It may be ever so slightly exaggerated! Unfortunately though, the facts remain: people do describe themselves by their physical appearance, which is stupid for several reasons. Firstly, if i wanted to know your hair and eye colours, I would look at your photos. Secondly, I don't want to know your hair and eye colours anyway- it has NO BEARING ON YOUR PERSONALITY! The only thing that describing your physical appearance does, is show me that you're a shallow dipshit who is so boring that they can't write anything about themselves other than "i have brown hair with a few highlights ahahahahaha lolz!!!!"
That's another thing that annoys me. Hair colour rivalry. "Brunettes are hotter", "blondes have more fun", etc. Hair colour does not differentiate those that are good looking and those that look like dog shit (which incidentally is brown). While the brunette camp may have celebrities such as Leighton Meester, you also have Susan Boyle, so you can fucking shut the fuck up about brunettes being better. Hotness isn't even about hair colour. It's mainly about body. You know what sucks? Being fat. You could put the hottest hair ever on a lump of blubber and it would still be a lump of blubber. Being a lump of blubber sucks.
You know what else sucks? Not being able to afford that dress. I should start a charity. Forget world hunger, I want to wear a pretty dress.

An open letter.
Dear God,
You have done some pretty damn amazing things, like making Paris Hilton and supplying the world with the raw materials to manufacture shoes. You have presided over the creation of so many people that by now, it stands to reason that you would get it right. In fact, you probably do in most cases- most people have some kind of redeeming quality; be that physically (there are many tall people around) or in the way of talent- lots of people can sing, for example.
Unfortunately, you really fucked up when you made me. Not only do I have the body of a blubbery penguin, the brain of a potato, with a face that looks like it has been run over by a 4WD with acid on its wheels; I also have no talent whatsoever! How could you do this to me?
So, god, you may be wondering why I am writing to you. After all, what's done is done and there's not much that can be done to fix me. I would like to know about your refund policy- is it too late to exchange myself for someone better? Or at least someone skinny? To be honest, I'll settle for pretty much anything, the only way you could possibly make me fatter and stupider is if you reincarnated me into a hippopotamus, and even that would not be without its benefits.
A swift reply to my pertinent enquiry would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Natasha

Why are some people just born skinny?
It's not fair. It's easy to say that being thin doesn't mean they're happy; but think of all the extra time they would have to spend being happy, which other people spend being fat and melancholy. They would never have to diet, or do gruelling amounts of sit-ups, or work to be noticed- they're just beautiful. That may well be farcical- no-one would get a model body from eating; but it just so happens that there are plenty of regular people walking around who are just thin, and didn't do anything to get that way other than be born to the right parents.
The worst bit it, no matter how much someone like me tries, I'll never be thin. I'm just not genetically predisposed to it. I know it seems like all fat people probably say that, then secretly binge on chocolate cake when nobody's watching, but I swear I try. The last time I checked, trying does not entail eating.
