Crushing On: You Know What I Hate?

September 10, 2011 by krisis

A few weeks ago I was cruising my Facebook feed and I noticed a link to a blog post entitled, “#32: People who confuse karaoke night with American Idol auditions.”

Being that person, naturally I clicked through.

Unfortunately, the post I discovered was not on a blog titled, “Stuff That Makes People Awesome.” Nay. It was called “You Know What I Hate?”

I bristled, awaiting the salvo against my karaoke perfectionism. You know what happened instead? I laughed. I laughed because the post was right-on, and it wasn’t only about me wanting to sing one song well at karaoke – it was about people who consider themselves performers due to their karaoke prowess.

Also, it was really fucking funny.

I kept reading. The author doesn’t just hate annoying people (like #15: People who are good at running) – her biggest category is actually moments of intense expectancy violation; times where she isn’t sure why something is happening or how she should react.

Her writing swerves from confrontational second person to babbling interior monologue, all delivered as a stream-of-consciousness with a delightful, seemingly-compulsive frankness. Even when the thing she hates is something I endorse (#19: Expensive first dates, for example), her argument is still so salient and caustic that I can’t help but agree a little bit while giggling. I found myself heading back to Thing #1 so I could read her entire screed in one go.

Last weekend I lucked upon the opportunity to meet the reclusive blogger – and it took some digging to get her to admit her authorship. Once I had dragged a confirmation out of her and confessed my major crush, she asked to me deliver a dramatic reading to her small crowd of friends of a draft in-progress with the title “#34: Not knowing what to do when you wake up in someone else’s bed.”

In my shameless attempt to get you to read You Know What I Hate?, please allow me to present a recording of my reading of said post.(NSFW content, but language is clean)

    So I had to go read this whole list. I agree with so much of it. As a “new runner” (I signed up for my first 5k for the end of October…eek!), that one was particularly personal since every morning after my 2 miles I’m drenched in sweat and my face isn’t just red, it’s purple. Ha! Thanks for the read!

    Peter! I don’t know how I missed your review of my blog! I’m so flattered! And the dramatic reading was just… oh-my-god-perfect. Thanks for the plug and I’m so psyched I got a blogger of your caliber crushing on mine! =)

    Jem – I tried running for the first half of this year as a good way to get my heart rate up. It made me completely miserable. I think I would have enjoyed myself more watching Two and a Half Men or listening to a Katy Perry Mega-Mix.

    Lately I have been going to Zumba for my cardio workout fix. Dancing for 45 minutes is a hell of a lot more fun.

    […] Not every notable moment was a big one. We survived Hurricane Irene, mostly unscratched. I interviewed Philly art star Britt Miller. I delivered a dramatic reading about the morning after. […]
