I was complaining to someone about not having an idea for today and they suggested the Fear of Commitment. Interestingly enough, it does not have it's own phobia name. Commitment phobia was coined by Steven Carter in his book Men who can't love. But for my purposes, I suppose it's good enough.

As I was making this, I kept thinking of the Saturday Night Live skit for Colon Blow^TM.

"It would take over 30,000 bowls of your regular cereal to equal the fiber content in one bowl of Colon Blow."

I thought I'd try something different for this one. I have some other ideas for X of the day too, but you'll have to wait to see those.

When I took Psychology in high school, I had a tendency to doodle in my notebook. When we were covering phobias, I ended up with several pages of doodles like this to illustrate them. I have no idea what happened to that notebook, but I remember most of them.

When I was in college, I had an idea to make a t-shirt with nine of them or so on the front. I ended up losing the computer that had the original design on it, so I was too frustrated with it to continue. I hadn't actually thought about it again until recently. I might try making one again after I do a few more of these.

Here in Oklahoma, it's been raining for 18 days now, with no end in sight. It's ridiculous.

I felt the need to ask someone if they thought this was all just a publicity stunt for Evan Almighty. I wouldn't put it past them.

I just read a fun discussion about What is the international sign for "you left something on the roof of your car"? It's worth a read if you've got the time.

Today is International Inappropriate Escalation of Conflict Day. I said so. It sounded like a good excuse to justify my action because I'm grumpy from sleep deprevation.

My first IM this morning was only *kick*. My response? *stab*. It seemed appropriate at the time.

Update: Thank you fuckin_nice_guy for the visual aid.

It came up in conversation the other day, but I couldn't remember all of the powers or quite how they work. I remembered pretty well for not having looked at it in almost two years. It's a custom discipline I developed for a Vampire LAP several years ago. And here's the write up for it.
