Come on baby light my fire

Actually no need, I am easily heated on my own. If you know me, you know my anger or rather how easily it can be brought out. I am not physically violent, rather my words act like little knives. Obviously this can be a problem. Recently I've had an incident which sparked my anger more than usual - I threatened to sue someone. Over what? A dog, and well to be honest, to scare the shit out of them. In the end it was more trouble than it was worth, as most things are, so I surrendered with the satisfaction and heavy belief in some other worldly retribution. Maybe they'll be met with some people crazier than them? I can certainly hope.

Aside from this recent circus it's the little things that drive me crazy. I got mad at someone on the bus the other day because they were laughing too loud. That isn't right, laughing should be something you can live with - however in my defense the bus was entirely full and quiet aside from the man with the loudest laugh ever. But it could be worse - laughing is beans next to people who cut their nails on the CTA (EWWWW and most annoying thing ever).

Moving on..Here's my last major annoyance of the first week of the new year - facebook updates. Recently women have been posting about their bra colors for breast cancer awareness - I don't really care. Actually I do, it is great advertising/awareness and there isn't any bad part about it. But some people are really annoyed by it - so I guess I am annoyed with the people who are annoyed by it. One word makes you think about breast cancer in relation to yourself which is the best thing that can happen - where's the wrong in that? Of course making a doctors appointment to get a check up would be best but giving yourself a self check up is good too. So to all you bra color updater haters (that's a mouthful) - step off! Be thankful that you're biggest worry is people's updates, it could be worse - like having breast cancer worse.

So on that note, 2010 will not be about me being mad. Last year it was about being less cynical, which thinking about now I don't know if it worked out too well. But the new year is dedicated to Sarah Bowman having a spring in her step, not a chip on her shoulder - or at least only getting angry at things that deserve it like those damn CTA finger nail cutters and people who don't go through the revolving doors even though it says so... Deep Breath... Yes, I will be less agitated and possibly share a few more of my smiles. I didn't have braces for nothing!
