I Hate Everything But You (2020 edition)

Yes, I do realize that this is already a kind of parody, but that doesn't mean I can't parody it again to be about 2020. I hope you all know that a lot of this is doing for comedy and not to be accurate. For those who don't know, "I Hate Everything But You" is a song from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Watch it here.

The loaves of sourdough, breads brimming with starch

I've hated crap like that since way back in March

While everyone was panicked and hoarding TP rolls

I would mutter "this sucks" while looking at polls

I detested most stuff and I still do

You see, I hate everything but you

I hate the feeling of my mask when it hits my skin

I don't like that you can't see if I have a grin

I hate when people doom scroll and comment hashtag "mood"

I hate when people do not get delivery food

I hate when someone says "2020, right?"

Or when people actually still get on a plane flight

I hate white people who shout but blue lives matter, grrr

Oh yes, I hate everything but you

More examples!

I hate guys who stand far too close and then achoo

I hate politicians who liken COVID to the flu

I hate when people ask me when I'll ever go back to work

I hate the audience watching the Fox news network

I hate knowing we had NBA games

I hate babies with a cutesy COVID names

I hate when someone says "Won't vote" and someone else says "woo"

Oh yes, I hate everything but you

'Cause when I look in your eyes and I see you smile

When you laugh at yourself and we Zoom for a while

Just for a moment, I forget

How much I hate it when people say "It's no threat"

Even more examples!

I hate it when people say they're going "off the grid"

Or when someone says all that they would forbid

I hate people who just manage to date on the apps

I hate people who always wear MAGA hats

I hate the nickname 'Uncle Joe'

And I hate that's not new

'Cause I want to not hate things when I'm with you

You love so many things

And you have so much fun

It makes me wish my hating days were done

And there's one thing I want you to know

I'll always hate guys who vote for Trump

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
