Meh, not so much . . .

When my mom came to visit, we took her to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for three reasons:
  1. It's awesome.
    It's kind of one of those places you're REQUIRED to visit if you're ever in the Bay area. You just do.
  2. My mom loves nature
    So this seemed like a good venture choice. 
  3. I will take any excuse--ANY EXCUSE--to go back there.
While we're there, bouncing from exhibit to exhibit, after I've raved over the glories of sharks, the awesomness of squid, the adorableness of the stingrays, my mom finally asks, "Sarah, what DON'T you love?"
And I honestly couldn't tell her.


I may love comics, superheroes, wizards, Cephalopods, bats, snakes, frogs, felines, canines, spiders, butterflies, dragonflies, outdoors, trees, flowers, a hot cup of tea, a sunny day, a sunshower, mythology, hiking, a thunderstorm, the ocean, the hills, a good book, Epsom salt baths, kayaking, birds, new foods, new places, clean sheets, a good pair of chucks, a witty nerd shirt, cheesecake, cardigans, a new tune, trivia, new workouts, and all that jazz, I do have things I DISlike. At least, I'm pretty sure I do . . . Oh, yes, yes, I'm sure. 


It's just taken me a while to come up with an actual list . . .

But I suppose this is a good start to one.
 
another one of my favorites--jellyfish!

So far, I dislike:
  • Cockroaches (demons spawned out of hell, I swear!)
  • hair on the bathroom floor
  • the terrifying thought that, no matter how much I wash the linens or clean the house, it just might smell weird to guests (and, after all that, there's nothing I can do about it)
  • beginning a cleaning chore (once I start, it's awesome, but starting? YUCK)
  • Twilight or anything related to it
  • Fifty Shades of Grey and anything related to it . . . which I suppose goes with the previous item, as it is a fanfic . . . yep . . . 
  • Okay, uber romantic novels in general are a no
  • Dark chocolate
  • High heels
  • When a black shirt is actually navy blue
  • Poor film adaptions of literature
  • Adult acne (wasn't I suppose to grow out of this like ten years ago???)
  • My toes
  • Sweet tea
  • Coffee
  • When a cake doesn't have enough frosting
  • Liking your own Facebook post
  • Parking right in front of a store (I like parking at the far end of a lot)
  • Gaining five pounds just by LUSTING after a cheeseburger
  • When my GPS gets more lost than I am
  • Being too warm to sleep under even just the sheets
  • Being flanked by semis on the highway
  • Not being able to pop my neck or my back
  • Someone showing up WAY earlier than you anticipated (probably because I'm usually running late ;])
See, mumsie? There are TOTALLY things I don't love. Lots, actually. 


How about you?
Are you generally someone who loves EVERYTHING or someone who has a bigger DISlike list?
What are some items on your list??
