Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
And if you have like 4-6 inches of it and it decides to be +5 degrees C outside and everything is full of that mucky mess...

I am not on that list and I am not surprised. I am really hard to annoy with something... And I tend to behave, which is why I have zero warning points here... I haven't actually seen anyone posting something worth a warning post here in the forums. I am annoyed by that...

On a differerent topic, today we had the second inter-school basketball match. First one was on Wednesday, there I twisted my left thumb so that it got okay only by yesterday. Today, I twisted the finger following the thumb on my left hand... Next match is tomorrow, wonder if I twist the middle finger on my left hand... Luckily right now the finger is not that bad as my thumb was, but it still hurts a lot. If we hadn't won the games, I'd be furious right now.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
That's a pre-marital agreement...

That automatic stuff and easy driving exam guys talking: [bleep] you. In my country if you do exam with an automatic, you get a special mark on your license which indicates that you can only drive an automatic... And when 80% of cars are manual, sucks to be you. And our driving exams consist of 1 hour drive through the city with the inspector and they can fail you for practically anything, including stalling and switching gears mid-turn. But no engine-braking? Are you bullshitting me? My driving teacher specifically taught us to engine-brake, since it is a LOT more economical. And gas is around 1,5€ per litre here, which is like 6,7€ per gallon or something. Which should be over eight bucks per gallon.

I am a grammar-nazi in both English and Estonian. I am proven to be really good in both of them and I tend to correct people. Even way more than I should. I don't know why exactly, but I think it might come from that that if I can learn 2 languages that fluently, everyone can. And what is weird is that I have never studied grammar rules specifically, it just comes to me.

Ummmm, sorry for being a fool with American terms, but what is a prenup? Is it something like a pre-marital agreement?

Today I was on the screening of Jeopardy. I won't say how I did here in public, since I don't know if it can get me in some sort of trouble, PM me if you wanna hear more. I was quite probably the youngest participant ever on the Estonian Jeopardy and well, some interesting stuff happened.

18th birthday is magical. You get to do everything then in Estonia, including drink. In Belgium one can drink at a younger age, methinks, but still. Anyways, today I went to a qualification for Estonian Jeopardy. And got invited to a taping already tomorrow. Sooo pretty nice for a high school student, eh?

Perks of living in a small nation between Russia and Western Europe - objective history classes. We study about everything. American Independence, from both sides of view, French Revolution from every side, Napoleonic Wars, WWI and WWII and yeah... Practically you name it, we have gone through it. Spanish Civil War, Sino-Japanese War, Russian-Japanese War of 1905, Chinese Civil War... Well, we do have history since grades 5th to 12th aswell though. And it turns out I can't go to that party after all... Next morning is the regional Estonian (language, for all you silly people who don't presume that a small and ridiculously succesful country could have its own language) olympiade and I have a good chance of getting to nationals, so I have to be in top shape. BTW the age difference wouldn't have been so bad, the 3 guys who were hosting the party all got 17 and I am 18. And I have noticed that feeling of being an authority, SOOOO GOOD.

I got invited to a party hosted by minors. About 300 people are invited and I only know about 20 of them. Apparently I have left a really good impression on one of the hosts. Now I am at a dilemma, to go, or not to go. I would meet boatloads of new people, interesting, different people. Most people are artists of some kind. They have also hired a live band. Then again, as it is a minor party, there is most likely going to be trouble. And as I said I don't know most of the people and if there is so much of those people I tend to keep myself at only the people I know at some quiet spot.

Maddy is insane. For studying that much. OK, now not insane, but I would never be able to force myself to do anything like this. Kudos to you for that. And glad you got it worked out. And Randox, my hands and feet get ice-cold aswell. But I think I don't have any medical conditions since I simply spend hours at my computer without gloves, when there is only like 5-6 degrees Celsius in my room. It would cool anyone down. And I've had moments when liquids have frozen on the floor of my room. And that's how lazy I am, since I have a fireplace which would heat the room to around 15 degrees Celsius if it burns for 5-6 hours, but I am too lazy to use it... Oh, it is -15 degrees Celsius outside right now and my room is uninsulated practically.

God damn windchill is the worst [bleep]ing thing ever. I totally hate it. I can handle even -25 or more, as we've had this winter, if there is no wind. But with wind, it gets through the bones. My winter coat doesn't keep out all the wind and jeans are not the greatest handling it as well, so it is cold to be outside more than 2-3 minutes.

I meant toes freeze off on my route to the club :D It is definitely warm in clubs, too much so actually. So the temperature differences might be over 50 degrees Celsius during winter (30+ degrees inside and -20 outside. First-hand experienced it this December). But that seriously requires freaking warm clothes to keep one healthy outside.

What kind of gamer are you?
I tend to juggle. Well, I tend to get too much games that end up unplayed. Or I play like 1-2 hours and then stop. Like Borderlands 2, Metro 2033, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Dead Island, and many more. But I really don't have times for games either, so mostly my gaming is limited to my iPad on travels.
