Things That Scare Me Today

Happy Halloween, y'all.

Unlike last year's big to-do, this year I'm maintaining a low profile (see above illustration). But I would be remiss if I didn't do something to celebrate one of my favorite holidays, so I bring you the 6 Things That Scare Me:

1. People I don’t even know trying to become my friend on Facebook.
2. People still wearing those “Live Strong” bracelets.
3. Killers who lure victims to their home via fake Craigslist ads. Guess I’ll be buying a TV via the old fashioned way, then.
4. Celine Dion appearing on my Pandora Radio. (If you’re not familiar with Pandora, it is an online radio station where you tell it what bands and songs you like, and it populates your playlist with songs based on your recommendations and a complex algorithm.)
5. Senator Larry Craig, specifically that he is still a Senator.
6. Backfat (specifically mine).

[Cherry] Ride Just Isn't That Into You

I took a few days off, but I'm back. (Thanks for noticing, jerks.)
My reasons for the break quite possibly may include one or more of the below factors:

1. Forgot my log-in password
2. Jesus told me to
3. Sharting emergency
4. Put in a corner (like Baby)
5. Thrilling and electrifying collar poppin'
6. Prolonged and exhilerating trannie vacation
7. Still recovering from tragic and embarrassing (yet completely unsurprising) Cubs loss during playoffs
8. Paul Poon
9. Debilitating shame over my love for Martina McBride
10. Dick Cheney
11. Protesting Oracle’s bid for BEA Systems – take that Larry Ellison!
12. Grueling Harpsichord lesson and competition schedule
13. Arrest and subsequent incarceration for something my lawyer has advised me not to speak of until the lawsuit is settled
14. Nightly, athletic and exhausting visits from a Succubus
15. Hellen Mirren's boobs
16. Extreme headband wearing
17. Gender re-assignment surgery
18. Gender re-assignment surgery gone awry
19. Incapacitating hangovers
20. Just couldn’t be bothered
