Things that bother me right now, and those that don't

Things that bother me right now, or have come to my attention at some point today:
  • Trying to talk about sports in a group of boys or men. Because you are a woman they seem to automatically tune you out and do not hear any of your points. However, their subconscious mind must hear you as they then repeat exactly what you just said, but claim it as their own thought. I watch sports more than most girls, and I consider myself a specialist when it comes to the Yankees and all of the NFL. So it's very frustrating, and upsetting, when just because you're a girl no one will listen to you. Or they act surprised when you say you love some team. I remember years ago in high school a bunch of guys were talking about who the best quarterbacks were and I tried to say something but was caught off by "Oh there's some dude like Peyton something? I heard he's good." Really.
  • People who hate the Yankees with a passion. Because honestly, it's just pathetic to hate anything with such a passion, let alone a sports team. Also it's hard to understand how such hatred does not stream from jealousy. Putting so much energy and emotion into hatred of something is ridiculous. And it only causes unnecessary controversy when you choose to voice such hatred. Get over it.
  • The fact that the Yankees and the Giants were playing at the same time. I found it hard to enjoy watching either game because I kept thinking of what I might be missing in the other game. I was furious when I saw that the schedules would collide, and am sad that I missed most of the Giants game and will have to wait a whole week before seeing them again :( Weren't the Giants originally scheduled to play during the day, but then were switched for the Sunday night game? Not sure but that was what I thought.
  • Eli Manning's performance in tonights game. I was mostly watching the Yankees, but what I saw of Eli was painful. But his offensive line really wasn't giving too much support either. I don't like losing.
Things I do like:
The Yankees are going to the World Series!!!!
