Our Attorney General Eric Holder, a frightening man.......he can't resign soon enough for me, " scandals " re his truthfulness are indeed imminent, so he cowardly resigns instead of " facing the music "...how convenient...

Volcanoes can be scary. Theres some about 20 miles south of here, one has puffs of smoke coming out of it once in a while. They say it erupts every 600 years. It erupted last 600 years ago. Not a comforting thought. It would not be good to wake up some morning with hot lava flowing through your house.

We have earthquakes all the time, and they always freak me out, but not in a bad way. Kind of the same feeling as when I ride a roller coaster (I love them!). Tornadoes and floods scare me more, which are the most common disasters in my hometown of Memphis. Volcano just seems so unreal!
Unfortunately, I don't have any parents to tell, but my sister would freak out if she found out. She is terrified of earthquakes even though I insist they are not as bad as she thinks they are, and she is already begging me to come back there. But I don't want to! I like it here!

The better question to ask me is 'what doesn't scare me'...

I just can't abide spiders. Seriously. Cannot abide them.

Clowns. Oh gawd, the shivers...

I am getting the creepy crawlies now, but one more thing is drowning. And rats. Cockroaches. The Dark.
