Delayed gratification. Lately I've been experiencing it. Sometimes intentional, sometimes subconsciously. Simply put, it's not easily succumbing to my materialistic desires. Reaching that point where I totally want 'it' to its maximum peak. Otherwise, having it is not as gratifying. But alas when it comes to food, it's definitely the other way around. I succumbed to its pleasures whenever I feel like it. I'm still a picky eater though but lately I've been enjoying late night deliveries. Yeah loads and loads of carbs! Chicken, spaghetti, fries, and coke float at most times. Alternating with burger and pizzas. I swear by their ability to calm my nerves.
Desensitization. That doesn't work for me though. Repeated exposure intensifies the unpleasantness of it all even more. I have to go thru it in order to get over it is definitely not applicable especially when it's the pet peeves in question. Cats, ants, and mosquitoes are some of the benign but many pet peeves I have.
Cats are the sneakiest and freakiest (next to the ugly beyond redemption hyenas) creatures of this planet. Their scrawny form and yucky fur. Calico cats are so unpleasant to look at. The way their muscles contort especially their tails. Seeing such really unsettles me. I loathe cats entirely. But interestingly, Hello Kitty is another story. She's cute and definitely likeable. Sadly, she's a non-living creature.
While ants and mosquitoes are bothersome, they can be rid of just as easily. All it takes is just a keen eye and the sheer determination to extinguish. I should add though ants can really bite and it can hurt a lot especially that of the smallest and the biggest of their species. It's interesting to note that there exists a queen in their colony, making them the most organized and cooperative group of insects. And they've got the most powerful antennas, sensing when threat is coming and death eminent. While mosquitoes can really be irritating especially when they make the zzzzz sound and hover above you. They love to attack in the dark, however, they can't survive extreme cold long enough to live. Mosquito bites can leave unsightly marks if scratched and left untreated. I have delicate sensitive skin so I really have to be careful and watch out for this pests.
But often all it takes is just a flight from the place these creatures thrive in. If I can't fight it, I simply walk away from it. Still it would be great blessing not to have them in existence.
