LJ Idol 4:12 My Most Annoying Trait

[puppetmaker]

Oh Gawds Above and Below...Why not ask me my top ten?

There is a lot about me that I find annoying but a lot of time it is that annoying voice that pops up in my head.

There is when the annoying voice that tells me to buckle up. Last time I didn't listen to it because the seatbelt was being difficult, I got a ticket and a court appearance. Through total luck of the draw I got the sane judge in the system and pleaded it down to a fine with no points and a promise to never do that again.

There is when the annoying voice guilts me into cleaning. The voice in my head begs and pesters me to just clean up the Kitchen. Just one room. Oh you finished the room? Hey, how about the living room? This voice is loudest in my head when I have about 20 other things on my plate.

There is when the annoying voice reminds me that when Caroline is being THAT QUIET, she is up to something and I should probably find out what.

There is when the annoying voice keeps telling me that chocolate may taste great but it doesn't solve the problem at hand. (The voice substitutes other words for Chocolate like Beer or alcohol or fried food or anything else that tastes great but isn't good for me in large amounts).

There is when the annoying voice reminds me of a project that has a deadline but I seem to be spending a lot of time on my computer wasting copious amounts of time doing not much. (And telling the voice that I am doing research doesn't cut it)

As much as this little voice drives me nuts, it also keeps me safe and sane at the same time. Would I like to shut it up or off? Sometimes, but I have to remind myself that it is there to help me be a better me no matter how annoying I find it.

My little voice told me I should comment on your entry... and it wouldn't shut up until I did!

good entry! And FAST!

This one leaped off the screen at me and said write me now. *darn voice*

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

So your most annoying trait is something that makes you better?

:D

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

NooooOOOoooo....it is a trait that I find most annoying! *grin*

Hey I can twist this 6 ways from Sunday if needed.

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

Seems like your most annoying trait is using semantics for personal gain.

:D

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Well think about who I married and who was the best man at our wedding.....Is this unusual for me?

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

BTW, speaking of weddings.

Am I gonna see you in June?

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

We think Yes at this point. Let me put it this way, I have the date cleared on the calendar.

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

I have several *HUGS* held in reserve for you...are you prepared to receive them all?

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Yep. I have a few for you too.

[adpaz.livejournal.com]

I think every time your voice is taking a break, it's because it's visiting my head telling me the same kind of stuff. :)

By the way, I wish I'd thought about the fact that you were going to be in Chattanooga this last weekend. I would have talked Rich into driving over there to see you. :)

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

THAT's where it goes! Thanks for clearing that up *smile*

next time I will be down south will be DragonCon I believe.

[rosepurr.livejournal.com]

Your voice sounds so reasonable. No wonder sometimes you want to beat it with a stick! :D

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

See it keeps me from doing things that I want to do. Is that fair? *grin*

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

*starts flogging That Voice with a wet noodle*

Think about it in this way: If you didn't have That Voice, you wouldn't accomplish a whole lot. Except for when you ignore it and eat all that chocolate, that is ;)

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

True and that is probably why I listen to it even when I don't want to.

[suesniffsglue.livejournal.com]

(The voice substitutes other words for Chocolate like Beer or alcohol or fried food or anything else that tastes great but isn't good for me in large amounts)
For me, that's totally when the voice gets most annoying!

Good entry, this was a nice twist!

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Thanks. This was one of the easier ones to write which is probably why I could get it up so fast.

[walkertxkitty.livejournal.com]

I think we have the same little voice (either that or they went to the same school or something). I love the light, humorous way in which you talked about the various things that annoying little voice makes you do.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Humor has gotten far in life or just looking at life a little differently.

I swear these little voices have a clubhouse somewhere that they go to and trade ideas/

Oh yes. I have that voice about my kid. Usually he's eating cat food or something equally gross. :)

Good entry!

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Last time I had that voice yell in my ear (yesterday) she had dumped a majority of a toothpaste tube down the sink. *sigh*

[chite.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's really special :)

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

Mmmm chocolate and beer. I think my inner voice and your inner voice would really have fun hanging out!

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

*Grin* Yah I think so too.

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

that annoying voice can be so needed, but can also be so bothersome, can't it?

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Yep. That is part of the problem. It can be so rational and annoying and I know that I should listen to it but I don't wanna.

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Does your annoying voice know mine?

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Probably. I think they go off and think of new things to bother us with.

[elva-undine.livejournal.com]

The little voice shouts at me about chocolate-covered pretzels...mmmm

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmm. Best of those I ever had was (at all places) Walt Disney World at Epcot.

[elva-undine.livejournal.com]

Weird! I've never been there, but I'm in love with whatever brand Trader Joe's carries.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I always worry about kids when they are being "too quiet."

And chocolate really *does* solve most problems... well, except for weight loss, LOL.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Yep. But it sure goes down good certain times of the month.

I had my favorite form of chocolate yesterday. Those little Cadbury chocolate eggs (not the cream one the hard shell ones). I am good from now until a week after Easter *grin*

Boy, howdy, is that voice of yours right on the money!

Cadbury crispy chocolate eggs? Pardon me, I must catch a train and mug you!
