Also, someone on the phone at work last week used the word "vacay" for vacation. I wanted to disembowel him.

natey -- does filing your nails also bother you?

Hoy -- you seem like someone who WOULD bite his nails.

And while we are on the topic of nails....will people please stop it with the French manicures and pedicures? They are gross.

I bit my nails in first grade. I liked it because it was kinda chewy. I don't anymore though, I like my nails smooth.

Filing isn't so bad. It's how I deal with the toenails. I've just always been a nail biter and the sheer terror that the sound of nail clippers strikes in my heart keeps me that way.

If someone is filing their nails I have to leave the room. I also can't stand the sensation of having my fingernails cut (although I do not bite them that feels ok).

Some advice to you university students when writing term papers: Don't fucking well put footnote markers in the middle of the goddamn sentence. It's visually ugly and bloody well disruptive. What it tells the reader to do is stop reading this sentence right now, before it's complete, and go read the footnote. Why are telling someone to stop reading your lovely sentence, then expect them to come back and just pick it up after that numeral, and that your point will still flow well? Wait until the end of the damn sentence before you want to provide evidence that you're not making shit up or have additional points to make.

(Note: I'm dealing with a writer right now who has an allergy to putting footnote markers at the end of sentences and it's pissing me off.)

I know exactly what you're going through. I hate that shit.
