Sorry Nic. Maybe it’s the odd spelling of your name.


I hate Nicolas Cage.

I hate when I find pubic hairs on a toilet seat.

I hate how airlines charge for baggage.

I hate my hairy toes.

I hate when people see a flaw in my personality and try to teach me a lesson.

I hate the words ‘musings,’ ‘rogue,’ and ‘happenstance.’

I hate when people refer to themselves in the 3rd person. Laurenne thinks it sounds hoity toity.

I hate knowing that I will one day emit an old-lady odor.

I hate when people fart on planes. And when it’s me, then I hate myself.

I hate talking about the weather.

I hate being around very negative people who hate everything.

I hate that I hate that Paris Hilton has a shoe line. That doesn’t deserve my hate.

I hate eighties music. Yes, even Madonna. Whatever.

I hate that nothing lasts forever. Especially fruit.

I hate that I spent too many years caring about being perfect.

I hate that lots of us work really hard so some bossguy can make money.

I hate that we’ve created some weird societal norms (drinking milk from animals, high heels, shoving plastic balloons under our chest skin, etc.)

I hate that so many people are so scared.

I hate that we still don’t know what happens after death. Come on. Just tell us.

I hate outlet stores. Always so much anticipation and then only irregular socks

I hate that I hate stuff. Why can’t I be the joyful kind of girl who motors around town loving everything? Especially Nicolas Cage. What did he do? I don’t know. I liked him in ‘City of Angels’ and then bam: hatred.

Thankfully, I do love way more often. I love jungle gyms, friends, vacuuming, handwritten letters, burritos, pool parties, pictures, and finally peeing after holding it forever.
Laurenne loves more things too but doesn’t want to bore you with those musings. (Man, I hate that sentence.)

    I have argued with people about Nicolas Cage for awhile. Con Air,The Rock, Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas.

    I like those movies. I SAID IT. too bad most of them all happened with a 3 year span.

    Where have you gone 1997? Please bring it back. Thats when girls liked me.

    I love, with a burning obsession, handwritten letters. And I love the comment on the photo of Nicholas Cage which made me laugh aloud, as did the rest of this post.

    Yeah, you lost me at the hating of 80s music.. But, you got me back on the 'peeing after holding it forever'. It's an intensely good feeling.

    Great post! :)

    Rahul – you forgot Wild At Heart. He's good in that. I hate him as well though. I don't really know anyone that likes him.

    Laurenne doesn't hate 80s music. I think she needs to be more specific. I know for a fact she loves a lot of 80s music like freestyle.

    I hate soccer. It's boring. It ends in draws sometimes. Yes, even World Cup. Watching it is dreadful. The atmosphere is cool, but the game is boring. I hate that someone will just say I don't get it because I don't understand the "intricacies of the game." Please.

    Handwritten letters are awesome. I wrote you one, but it's in the 3rd person and contains the word "musings" so I guess I'll burn it.

    Jimmy thinks you should watch this video:

    Jimmy's right. I do love some 80s music. But not the kind that people have heard of. Unless you're down with Stevie B and George Lamond. Not a fan of: duran duran, bon jovi, and/or any music played at frat parties.

    And yes, I know good old Nicky Cage has been in some quality movies, Rahulio. Still hate him. Love 1997 though.

    Man, Hipstercrite. I thought we were off to a good start. Sigh.

    Ha! This made me laugh. I especially liked the part about hairy toes. Remember that country album in the 90's titled "Did I Shave My Legs For This?" or something like that… Are there times that you shave your toes and wonder why you went through the trouble?

    What if Laurenne's hatred of how nothing lasts forever lasts forever?

    Deep, right?

    Re: Hairy toes, I think it means we have good circulation. Bare toes wish they had it so good.
