on a promising start to a new semester.

Great news, everybody!  I think I may have found my next 2.5 Mortal Enemies:  

The first one is a sixty-something woman in my Photoshop class who, on the first day, was wearing purple Uggs (strikes one and two), spent a loooong time checking her email/eBay while the teacher was talking (strike three), and then spent the remainder of the day on a page filled with pictures of dogs wearing sweaters (strikes four and five).  

I consider the other two people as only 1.5 because (I hope) their awfulness is mostly based on working together, so they don't really get to count as two separate enemies.  Those ones are extremely geeky, recently graduated from high school guys who sit behind me in my programming class, making totally obnoxious and nerdy pronouncements.  They moved from the Merely Incredibly Annoying List (MIAL) to the Mortal Enemy List (MEL) when, after they heard me discussing my use of Safari (internet browser) at home, one or both of them guffawed very loudly, "Who uses Safari??  The only people who use Safari [mumble mumble mumble]!"  I didn't actually hear the last part because I had already begun the fuming process.  What kind of assholes do that?  My new Mortal Enemies, that's who.

Oh god, the horror.

The fuming process can be overwhelming.

Seriously though, get Firefox.

Wait, does the color purple get its own strike? ... Really?
