Neat lists. Seriously makes me want to sit down with a pen and paper and give it a go myself.
And this one...
Sirens and clocks make me nervous
Sirens and banging, hammering noises really do me in. Gives me the shakes. I wonder if there's some kind of clinical thing with that...
BTW, thanks for dropping with the dream interpretation. When I read over it - wow. *_* A lot of it really hit home.
Hope you have a pleasant Wednesday!
Five minutes? Yowza, your brain works faster than mine.
(I'm going to assume you merely prefer employing a flashlight for capturing those nocturnal moments of inspiration, and it's not some fear of lamps.)
For the "something you probably don't know about me" game I discussed in a recent post on my site, you would have more than a lifetime's worth of "facts" to use. Well, you would have, had you not revealed them all here.
