Three Things I Hate/Severely Dislike:

- feeling misunderstood
- cinnamon buns (actually, anything with that sickeningly strong cinnamon smell)
Three Things I Don’t Understand:
- time management
- bigotry
- males' obsession with physical attractiveness, and how otherwise intelligent, spiritual, together men can turn into rude, immature, base horndogs at the sight of a huge rack -- and how they don't seem to realize (or care) when it's fake, and that most women do not naturally look like Pamela Anderson, AND that so many of these same males are not particularly attractive themselves, yet they all think they deserve a woman that gravity-defyingly hot and see no problem with holding women to a much higher standard than the one to which they hold themselves. This all makes zero sense to me. (Whew... That's been waiting to spew out for a while now.)
