A Spot of Trouble

I have issues.

And no this isn’t about my addiction to reading as I have written on in the past. It’s about something more serious. Spots.

And not the decorative spots on fabric or freckles on skin. I have spot issues as that is my spot and I want you out of it.

Part of this I think comes from being the youngest child, as one feels the need to claim what they can as theirs.

The other part of it is that I think I am just a creature of habit and like going the same paths, to the same spots. It makes me feel comfortable.

The earliest I can remember is when I did martial arts. We were assigned certain spots, and when someone tried to get in mine, I would kick them out. That’s my spot.

This happened in college as well. I had certain chairs I would sit in for each class. I had my special nooks in the library, and if someone sat in my spot I would spend quite some time glaring at them for even considering being in my spot!

Grab your torches and sharpen your pitchforks!

One time I was so offended that I had to work out my anger on the internet.

And let me tell you, those glares worked and that girl left. Leaving me all to my spot.

Yay Me!

Flu Season

So coughing sucks! It’s horrible to be sick. But nothing is worse,than having to hear someone cough repeatedly. Am I right?

I mean we all reach a point when we are going crazy from the coughing.

That being said, the part in Pride and Prejudice that I always hated/loved was when Mrs. Bennet yells at Kitty for coughing

“Don’t keep coughing so, Kitty, for Heaven’s sake! Have a little compassion on my nerves. You tear them to pieces.’

‘Kitty has no discretion in her coughs,’ said her father; ‘she times them ill.’

‘I do not cough for my amusement,’ replied Kitty fretfully.”

I mean poor Kitty she just can’t catch a break.  Older than Lydia but always stuck in her shadow.

Always getting blamed for things, I mean she can’t even cough without getting in trouble. This inspired me to make a plethora of Kitty memes to show my support for this much ignored character.

I mean seriously…

Pretty much concluding with:
