1. I get so, so mad at the last eighth of an inch of my mechanical pencil lead. The way it scoots back up into the pencil, the way it writes a duller line, the way when I click it out a little more it tucks back in. IMA KILL IT.

2. I'm 41 years old and I still wake up every morning wondering if today's the day I'm gonna get an ingrown toenail.
