things i dont like :

im a goth so i pretty much hate everything else but mostly daylight, justin bieber , reality tv bullshit , reality tv presenters , morons who watch reality tv , tideous fucks with a complete lack of imagination who talk about reality tv shows [which of course i realise as i type this that would be me! oh the irony!]

other things i love :

houmous, everything i can eat with houmous, especially houmous with honey on toast and therefore generally anything else usually associated with the buying of & the eating of houmous ;-)


things i actually truly hate ;

bigots, racists, fascists, sexists, gay men who vote for the conservative party* in the uk [or the republicans in america] and don't see just how fucked up that is - its akin to turkeys voting for christmas / thanksgiving

*I got a message from a guy the other day who objected to me stating that I hated people who vote republican / conservative.

He mentioned (correctly) that there's already too much hate in the world. [I'm not sure what an acceptable level of hate would be but I digress]



So to clarify, I hate that there are some folks who think that voting to protect the interests of the few over the rights of the many. In a misguided belief that these parties will represent them and seek to defend their rights dignities. I hate that you've fallen for that bullshit.

But I accept your right to be fooled by their bullshit.
