I see three new movies every week and I can say from a position of authority that this is the most obnoxious movie trailer ever made. The phone buzzing over and over drives me nuts.
I'm Necko. I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.
I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

When I left Apple behind for good, I was thrilled with the fact that Samsung allowed me to upgrade my storage to any size microSD, and so I could finally store my entire music collection on the go. Of course this was a few years ago and now I find they no longer make any phones with upgradable storage. Most people don't mind because they stream everything, but digital ownership is being stripped away from people. An entire era of internet commerce involved paying for files that you would then own. Of course iTunes encoded all of those files to prevent piracy which inadvertently has caused 99% of their users to lose their itunes library over the years. The reason is that companies are actively trying to stop people from paying for and owning their technology. Everything is a fully integrated system, nothing is modular, everything is a subscription. Even cars are this way, and repairing cars has been an enormously popular hobby worldwide since automobiles were invented. That is being taken away from us, and while the new systems are pretty nice and most people aren't bothered by it, people are starting to see that this model is broken and piracy of music, TV and Movies, live sports, and so much software has made a massive comeback. People want to own the things they buy, and if you don't let them they will find other ways to hold on to it.

One of my pet peeves is when I ride my bicycle and people honk at me
I'll be minding my own buiness riding my bike on the sidewalk and some dipwad lays on their horn and shouts "SHUT THE F--- UP" How about you sir take your own adivce and leave random people alone. I'm also very easily startled and when people honk at me I get freaked out. Once I nearly feel off my bike into a pile of thorns and rocks because I was spaced off riding my bike and someone laid on their horn.
Another pet pevee is when Im riding around on my bike or minding my own buiness and people cat call me
I've been cat called by people since I was in 6th grade. LEAVE ME ALONE BUDDY! Why are you even talking to me. I'm wearinhg a captian's hat with a picture of Yoko Ono pinned to it, a minecraft hawaiian shirt with a green polo underneath, with a pair of flood pants, and mismatched shoes and socks and you think I want to have an interaction with you? Once when I was 11 a highschool senor asked me out. I've never met this guy before. I just said "Sir I'm eleven" and he just stared at me with a 1000 yard stare and then ran off. Lucky for me they've started to leave me alone. It's been about 6 months since the last time I've been catcalled or asked out. The yoko buttons are working.
I'm finally being left alone.

Sorry that youve had to deal with all that. Unbelievable that a HS senior would ask out an 11 year old. Frankly its sickening. Seems like you've got a cool vibe however, so keep doing you and don't let jerks and creeps get in the way of expressing yourself.

That's part of the reason I leaned into dressing absurdly. It tends to weed out the bad people.
Another thing that confused me was I happened a ton when I was in sixth grade, it happened a little less in seventh, and stopped almost completely in eighth. I got cat called twice in Eighth grade. I guess I just was too old for their tatse.
I remeber I complained to my dad about getting cat called and he said "Awww You just look like an adult, they can't tell" ??? HUH?!?! In what world? When I was in six grade I was about 5 foot and I had a squishy little baby face and buck teeth. I don't think I looked like an adult at all (nor did I act like one), but the amount of times I was mistaken for one is surpirsing. In fact I'm regularly still mistaken as one, I understand it more now because I'm 5' 5" (nearly 5' 6") and I have a more mature face (still childish though) and I'm well spoken. Still doesn't give random people the right to comment on my apperence.

Aww, I like these little colloquialisms. I think they add color and character to our language. And besides, you can say of something, "It's six of one, and a half dozen of the other," and that's a complete sentence. But if you say of something "It's either way," that's a sentence fragment. So they do have different usages.

Uber based rant 
This is why I've always collected physical discs, and my dad set up a private storage drive that's only accessible via our own local network, so I back up my digital music collection there. And I drive a 30-year-old car.

Bruhhh that's super weird and I'm sorry you've had to deal with that. I fully support your fashion choices – I was always a bit of an eccentric with my dress and it really helped me through those awkward puberty times. If it helps you repel weirdos and express yourself – two birds, one stone and all that 
stay safe out there

I love my oddball fashion! It makes me memorable and it helps draw the right people to me! I have about five different hats I wear regularly all of which have a picture of an artist pinned to them (It's Yoko most of them time). I also recently got my hair cut short to add to my odd sense of style! My hair was over a foot long when it got cut, now it looks like '67 John Lennon
. FREEDOM!!! I CAN WASH MY HAIR!!! I CAN COMB MY HAIR WITHOUT TEARS!!!! I HAVE DANDRUFF FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!!! IM STILL SHEADING EVERYWHERE!!!!
I love my new haircut, I will forever keep my hair short.
Sorry 70s rocker hair, you were to high maintenance, I couldn't brush you even when I tried.
ER- Back on topic!
Major Pet Peeve was Hair brushing or really Having long hair in general. GOD I DREADED my *weekly hair brushing. I was irresponsible with my hair. I was getting dreadlocks constantly. I'd have to use a ton of conditioner to clean it. I hated the way it reflected heat back into my face. I hated how oily it was. It was too thick to mange. I hated almost everything about maintaining it, BUT I did like the way it looked.
Then when I got short hair- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I look so much better! I can shower in 5 mintues! I can... I CAN USE A COMB I'VE NEVER USED A COMB BEFORE!!!!! IT'S SO IT SO FREEING!!! IM FREE FROM LONG HAIRED SHACKLES!!!! MY HAIR IS SO BOUNCY AND FLUFFY AND SOFT AND FULL AND AND I LOVE MY HAIR
*What I ment by weekly hair brushing is, I'd only brush my hair once a week. Very bad I know but, I was so over loaded with everything in my life I couldn't find time to brush my hair more than once a week.
Another Pet Peeve is Hearing Aids
GOD THESE STUPID DUMB EAR THINGIES!!! I'm so good at losing them. I lost one back in march ad I still can't find it. I've been losing them since I was a baby. I swear I need to get a better system for tracking these things. I also hate how expensive they are. Like What in the good love of McCartney do you mean that I'm gonna have to fork out 3,000 for a pair? (Not counting in the molds) You know what you could buy with 3,000? Insurence loves to beat around the bush when it comes to hearing aids. They say they cover hearing aids, they mean they cover old models that your doctor doesn't advise using. At this point I've given up, I haven't been wearing them much anyways, I can't understand half of what anyone says it's all a bunch of muffled nonsense. Plus I'm kinda forced to wear even with my never ending mystery ear pain. GOD DAMN IT IM SICK AND TIRED OF (Not) HEARING THINGS FROM MEFLE BEFLE DOOBLE WOBLES KEMBLE WIMPLES?! I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING, JUST GIMMIE MY HEARING AIDS!! Uh... 
sorry for whining, I think I'll shut up now.

Oddball fashion is cool I'm more into psychedelic fashion myself like early 1967 Beatles and 1967 Rolling Stones.
Why?
Because
fashion and the world is colorless and basic and why not add some Color, Fun and Soul to this sad dull minimalist fashion state we live in?

The expression "It's six of one, and a half dozen of the other" is properly used to compare two things, the point being that they are so similar as to amount to the same thing.

I hate is when I'm telling my parents a story and I mention any of my male peers and they go "Oh? Is he cute" NO HE FECKING ISN'T HE GOT SUSPENDED TWICE FOR HUMPING A CHAIR IN CLASS. I got so fed up with the "oooo someone has a boyfriend" crap that I now almost exclusively hang out with other ladies. It's a shame that I have to cut out about half the population from my life to stop my parents from teasing me

Okay, technically I should have said "things" and not "something", that's a minor mistake on my part. But my underlying point still remains, that you can't use "either way" in the same context as "six of one, half a dozen of the other" and it make sense.

ughhhh I am so glad I was spared from that as much as possible I was already super confused as a young teen, that would only have made it worse

To be honest a few years ago I was more dazed and conufsed than Robert Plant so I went to my father for help. He was like "Nah you're normal, everyone wants to spend the rest of their days with their best friend in a homoerotic friendship the blurs the lines of what is platonic and what's not" ....Buddy I think you're more confused than I am. That did not help, and I was stuck on my own. I did finally figure myself out though (Hooray)
