    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Y&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;ou know what really grinds my gears? Loud, repeatative&amp;nbsp;noises.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Especially those of no rhythm or particular beat.&lt;br /&gt;For example:&lt;br /&gt;• Eating chips&lt;br /&gt;• The bass of a song [&lt;em&gt;From cars, or neighbors&lt;/em&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;• "Beating" on a desk&lt;br /&gt;• Some phone ring-tones&lt;br /&gt;• Coughing&lt;br /&gt;• Sneezing&lt;br /&gt;• Sniffling&lt;br /&gt;• Blowing your nose&lt;br /&gt;• And more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know what it is about these sounds, but they all give me a sense of paranoia [&lt;em&gt;If you watched Juno, it's the equivalent to when she's in the abortion office&lt;/em&gt;] &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're in a public place, such as the store or a school campus, HAVE THE DECENCY TO TURN OFF YOUR PHONE! If you have a list of things to remember, write it down! Don't be at the store comparing prices over the phone. I mean, I can understand if there's an emergency. If you don't turn off your phone, then at least put it on vibrate, and into your pocket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sometimes feel the need to sleep a whole day. But that's not possible with neighbors who play their gangster songs in the car with the BASS at maximum. The song would be better enjoyed when you can hear the whole song. I mean, if someone were to do karaoke to songs the way some people play them, all they'd be doing is bouncing around the stage, going "BOOM BOOM... BOOM BOOM.. BOOM BOOM!" Rofl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can understand the coughing, sneezing, sniffling, and blowing your nose.. but seriously, if you're sick, stay home!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until next time,&lt;br /&gt;GrindinGears&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And now for something completely different&lt;/strong&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;These are a few halarious conversations I've had in the past few days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nibelheim_cloudstrife: &lt;em&gt;Would you like to..&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: &lt;em&gt;Have hot, passionate sex with you?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;N_c: &lt;em&gt;Go to the park later?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;N_c: &lt;em&gt;Wait, what?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: &lt;em&gt;... what?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;N_c: &lt;em&gt;Huh?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: &lt;em&gt;... what?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: &lt;em&gt;Dude, she's with a guy already. You know this. You've seen them together like a thousand and one times. If you can't stop being obsessed with her, then at least stop commenting all her photos with "Oh, you're so gorgeous, I love you, see you later baby." It makes you look like an ass.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dayn: &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;What?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Me: &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oh, hi, Dayn. I was just telling off this douche who's obsessed with my sister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Dayn: &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;What's his name, I'll kick his ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Me: &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;His name is Dayn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Dayn: &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hey, my name is Dayn too! So if I kick his ass, it'll be like I'm kicking my own ass! LOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Scary thing is.. Dayn was serious.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;font size="1"&gt;You know what really grinds my gears? People who take the internet too seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you have to realize is that everything can be fabricated. On the internet, anyways.&amp;nbsp;Documents, photographs, music, and even people. You can be anyone or anything on the internet, which is why I was so excited on my 11th birthday when my mum finally let me on Yahoo. And as much as that's something wonderful, it's also something very horrible. Along with people being faked, so are relationships.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be it friendships, business partners, or relationships of any other kind. They can all be fabricated. And just as easily as they can be created, they can be destroyed in the typing of a word. The hard truth is : Some of these people that are your "friends" are just people who create these false relationships just to get 'dirt' on you. And some of these people just don't care. So really, only about 2-5% of your "friends" really are friends.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, there are people out there who are out to get you. &lt;strong&gt;So remember kids, don't give out personal information.&lt;/strong&gt; And &lt;u&gt;don't even fake&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;an address, a phone number, or a social security number&lt;/u&gt;, cause the number &lt;strong&gt;may not be yours, but it could be SOMEBODY'S.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people do act like the iWorld revolves around them. Like no matter what they say, it's &lt;em&gt;fact&lt;/em&gt; and everyone needs to agree with them. Well, dear, everyone has different opinions and not everyone will agree with you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the internet. Seriously.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until next time,&lt;br /&gt;GrindinGears&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And now for something completely different&lt;/strong&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;Peace and Anarachy_Blue_ by VampireofSolitude@DeviantArt.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="413" alt="Peace and Anarchy_Blue_ by VampireofSolitude" width="550" align="middle" src="http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs27/i/2008/079/3/6/Peace_and_Anarchy__Blue__by_VampireofSolitude.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoshix, self-promotion!&lt;/font&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;You know what really grinds my gears? People who claim their bisexual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're only bisexual when you're having a threesome, unless all the members are of the same gender. Any other time, you're either homosexual or heterosexual. Sure, it may switch off every other day, but you're not bisexual.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word bisexual has "sexual" at the end. So you're not &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; bisexual unless you're having &lt;strong&gt;sex&lt;/strong&gt; with &lt;strong&gt;two&lt;/strong&gt; people, one female and one male.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Having sexual fantasies, or staring at both genders' rears all day doesn't qualify.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, again, you're either homosexual - meaning, you have sex with your own gender - Or you're heterosexual - having sex with the opposite gender.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unless you're really just heterosexual, and you're claiming to be a homosexual claiming to be a bisexual.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;That grinds my gears too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until next time,&lt;br /&gt;GrindinGears.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And now for something completely different&lt;/strong&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;Some classical songs I like -&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;• Franz Liszt - Liebestraum Nocturne No. 3 in A Flat Major&lt;br /&gt;• Franz Liszt - Consolation No. 3 in D Flat Major&lt;br /&gt;•&amp;nbsp;Franz Liszt - Hungarian Rhaspody No. 2 in C Sharp Minor&lt;br /&gt;• Franz Liszt - Un Sospiro in D Flat Major&lt;br /&gt;• Franz Liszt - Danse Macabre&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you tell I like Franz Liszt?&lt;br /&gt;</content>
