In April I knew I needed to publicly share my list of nemesi, nemesises, nemesii, enemies…
Recently an article in doshdosh taught me that my blog needs a nemesis. Enemies are supposed to help me rally my base and give us something to stand against.
Y'all know Fussy can't be left out of a new trend in blogs. Time to round up some arch enemies.
1) Hip Hop Culture-
It could be glamorized videos on BET or upper class white boys in Peoria, it makes me nauseous. At least we have the Internet to tease these fools for a lifetime.
2) The Devil.
This one is pretty self explanatory. He's been harassing me my whole life.
3) MTV.
MTV is like watching the on ramp to the Apocalypse. I had to add the rubber duckies to keep my site family friendly!
4) The Doodlebops.
You can add Yo Gabba Gabba, Teletubbies and Calliou. No explanation necessary.
5) Internet Trolls.
These people are a special group of life's losers. Of course, if I was 40, working at Walmart and living in my parents basement maybe I would be testy also. Don't feed the trolls!
6) Irresponsible Parents and their Obnoxious Offspring.
Prime example- the pack of evil cheerleaders and thugs who attacked the poor girl in Florida. It is not only the parents, it is the culture that these kids are immersed in. You can't keep putting garbage in and not get garbage back. ~OK, I feel better now!~
7) All Things Victoria's Secret.
Those blasted commercials, soft p*rn catalogs, and fashion shows. Need I say more?
Whiners and Complainers.
The kids and adults who always have something negative to say. Conversations revolve around the latest downers in life and how they have been given the short end of the stick. Avoid these types like the plague.
9) Everything involved with Getting out of Bed.
All mornings are a bummer, but I'll give a special shout-out to Monday mornings. Sadly, as parents of young children we are often awakened to a nightmare of preschool proportions. ~Shudders~
10) Weight.
Couldn't our bodies just be all fit and trim all the time?
So there ya have it, Friends of Fussy. The official list of my enemies. Join me in the fight against these evil forces.
Now it is your turn! Take stand and list your official enemies in the comments. I can't wait to hear them.
Love, Alli

Ok, I secretly hip hop dance on the mornings when I get out of the bed, so I don’t share all of your enemies. But Victoria’s Secret, yes. It is something too America for me, that an European in me can not understand. Most of their products they market as sexy even aren’t sexy (brilliant marketing though, but why our teenagers need to start thinking of sexy when they are getting their first bras? Because that’s who shops there, teenagers), quality is bad, and way over prices for the poor quality. Yes, I have shopped there enough to base this on experience and to say never again. Fashion shows where you don’t actually even show your products but sexy imaginary outfits..? I understand, it is marketing, but I don’t understand why people buy it. Sex sells in this country and VS is handing it to every one on a plate. And to be fair here, I have nothing against sexy lingerie, I am European after all.
I really feel like your enemies have been talking to my enemies about matching outfits and ways to ruin both of us!! Great list and wonderful blog!! Happy New Year to you!!
You can add Sid the Science Kid to that list for me.
Great list! Love it! I’m going to have to think about what would be on my list (that you haven’t already mentioned, of course!)
Yup! Gangsta is the one that bugs me. But here are mine:
1. Rude people
2. Hummers
3. Celebrities who tell me how to live
4. Greed
5. Skinny women who moan about how fat they are to heavy women
I knew I loved you, now I know why! I have all the same enemies!
Have a Happy New Year.
Sue
You can add Feminazis, Overactive PETA participant, and people who don’t know how to laugh at themselves.
And Emo kids. They annoy me so much. When did it become a fashion trend to look depressed?
Oh. my. gosh. I don’t have a blog enemy list! No wonder everyone things I’m so happy go lucky. I should work on this. Could this be my New Year’s Resolution??
Great list!
Preach it Fussy! Every time I scrolled down, I thought “Oh yes…THAT one is the worst!” And they just became more and more enemy-ish. You’re so fun!
Totally agree with that list !!
Rock on!
Just popped over, as I sometimes do, but couldn’t resist commenting on your list. It’s great! But I just had to say that you will ESPECIALLY hate Monday mornings when you have high schoolers. We leave our house at 6:45 AM(!!) every morning and I have to tell you, quite frankly, it s*cks. Especially in January when the wind chill here is WAY below zero. Ugh.
ha! so funny! please add HigglyTown Heroes to #4 – we told my little man that they went away forever and we won’t ever be able to get them back (the advantage of the inability to reason of a 2 yr. old!)
thanks for sharing your list! I am definitely starting on my own!
Great list! I agree on almost all points (I kinda like mornings AFTER the coffee).
I hate all that you hate!
And gravity.
And aging.
And calories.
And eating.
And not eating.
And my infactuation with chocolate chip cookies (okay, no, I love THIS).
See this is confusing to me – I have a love/hate relationship with most things!
What Do You have against hip hop culture? if you think that hip hop is half naked whores, diamonds, cars and bunch of wannabee gangsters you dont know anything about hip hop… BET and MTV send a disgusting image of hip hop… What you see there isnt hip hop, or even rap… Just a bunch of tattooed morons. I hate gangsta rap… but dont hate something that you know anything about…
