Do you know what I hate? Yes, I do hate a lot of things, and all those things you said are definitely things I hate. However, I'm thinking of something very specific right now. Three guesses. Yes, I do hate that, but not what I'm thinking of right now. Wrong again. Yes! I hate it when a really good book series turns to crap because of romantical gook!
I've been reading a series about a detective named Thursday Next. It really is a very clever, fun-to-read series. Very, very tongue-in-cheek. I had a sneaking suspicion after the first book ended so well that things were going downhill, but I really had no idea how bad they would get. Every other sentence is "Oh, my poor husband who I only have memories of because he was eradicated and I love him so much and I need to save him but I can't because I'm carrying his child and have to hide from the bad guys to keep our child safe and I miss him soooo much!" I really have no desire to finish the series anymore. It makes me sad. The author's style is wonderful, absolutely magnificent. But I am just about fed up with all this "love" crap that is absolutely everywhere.
Which leads me to another thing I hate. . . .
Love songs, or songs about love. Really, based on the radio you'd think there's nothing else to life. Even now that I have an mp3 player again and can listen to whatever I want, I'm having trouble finding songs that aren't about being in love or finding love or losing love or blahblahblah love. There are other things to life. I am living proof. Not dating anyone, not even interested in dating anyone right now; but I am still alive and having a blast. Mostly I'm having a blast cuz I've got some truly fantastic friends, and that's all I need right now. So why aren't there songs about that? If you know of any, please point me in their direction because I'm about to go crazy listening to these songs about love. (As good as they may be, they are driving me a little nuts.)
P.S. At the same time, I'm so flipping happy for my friends who have found love!!! I know it's amazing for them, and I'm sure it occupies their thoughts 99% of the day, but I'm just asking for some books and/or songs that I can actually relate to. (Seriously, so flipping happy! There may be random smiling and giggling involved. . . .)
