My little brother is scared shitless of clowns. It's funny to see his reaction when he sees one. My mom had these clown figurines that "mysteriously" broke one day :)

i proud of him..clowns are pure evil. i dont know why anyone would have icons of them...
(no child should see IT at 4)

Loula,
This is a great list! I laughed out loud at "60. sometimes i get scared that the check-out people at stores are judging me by my purchases."

Thank you for sharing.
Good luck with that insomnia, I had it for a couple of years and it completely sucked!

Take care,
Slo

I read this, and had to go back up and count...30 of those apply to me, most were dead on except I counted ones like the politics thing, where I don't have a roommate but people have hidden papers from me.

Nice, and very interesting.

slo- my insomnia and i are good friends at the moment as i'm in one of my i dont even want to sleep phases..but then i have to go back to school in a week :)

mc- lol, we should hang out..i rarely have anyone to talk about politics with...people just get so apathetic, or say something idiotic, and then i get into trouble
