The Growlery is: OPEN
Welcome to the Growlery, home of low-key complaints.  If there is something minor and petty getting on your nerves, tell me about it and I'll sympathize.

You know what I hate?  Vacuuming the house.  It makes all the depressive, violent parts of my nature come to the surface.  Other little tasks, I don't mind.  It's even kind of fun cleaning the bathtub, and I positively like shopping for groceries.  But ask me to do the floors, and I will first put it off for two hours and then storm around the house vacuuming while I think about stupid arguments I came off worst in ten years ago and tell myself what I should have said if I'd only thought fast enough.  My back muscles bunch themselves up and life feels nasty, brutish and short.

I have to reward myself with promises that I'll do fun stuff when I've got all the vacuuming done.  Presently the vacuum is packed away, the dull roaring sound is silenced, and I have eaten a cookie and some vanilla yogurt and later on I'll go to the gym and watch TV.  Life is good again.

We should swap! You clean my bath, and I'll hoover your floors :p I quite like hoovering-- I find it satisfying seeing the clean carpets left in wake of the dust, and I also find it releases pent up aggression really well (apart from the memorable time I sucked up the curtains because I was too busy being angry to notice ^^).

Stuff getting on my nerves... hah, well I've already had a rant in my LJ so I'll spare you :) I can give you a cyber cookie to go with your real one, though *hands over cookie*. Cookies are good :) Also, going to the gym sounds good, though not as good as watching TV :p Enjoy!

*places hoover in your hands and attacks bath* You know, maybe that's what it is--vacuuming lets off my aggression, and all the angriness gives me a down trip. Hoover is a much cuter word than vacuum.

Thank you for the cookie--mine is white-chocolate-chip. We can each have half of the other person's.

*Munches cookie*

Vacuum makes me think of physics and space-vacuums or whatever it is, which sounds depressing XD Hoover sounds funny. I think it's the 'oo' sound ^^

I used to see a chipmunk around, eating the seed we left out for the birds. He was so darn cute. I named him Hoover, because he would scoot over the ground hoovering up all the seeds in his cheeks.
