Confess to something that might make people think that you're not human

Mine? Clowns don't scare me. Never have, at least not since I was a toddler. Honestly I don't even understand the fear.

I should perhaps add that Stephen King's It doesn't really scare me, either.


Well, except the kids' sex scene in the sewer. That part part creeped me out more than a little.

Not water moccasins but I like the rest of them. I was chased repeatedly by moccasins when I was a child so it's kinda personal between us now.

I don't hate it but I don't understand why some people have to have it.

I don't mind it and certainly won't complain if it appears in some other food, but I don't seek it out.

Not sure what happened, exactly.

over chocolate. Though I love white chocolate. When it comes to ice cream or milkshakes, it's vanilla. But then it's a fruit smoothie over a milkshake every time. When I was a kid I let my sister eat the scoop of vanilla ice cream out of my cone. I ate the cone.

Good thing, since I don't have a dishwasher. When I was a kid I'd come home from school, play with my friends, then do my chores & help Mom with dinner. Dishes were the last task before doing homework. We had a big farm kitchen & my mom had a stereo player in her sewing corner, so I would play records while doing dishes.

I used to eat the cupcakes from the bottom up. When I got to the frosting I traded with my brother who at them from the frosting down.

I knew some Shriners who were clowns when doing some of their Shriners stuff. They were all "hail fellow, well met" types.

I had night terrors for years as a child. The "it" in the dark that you can't see but know is there can trigger memories.

Yeah, that pre-teen sewer sex was not a proud moment for King. I "get" the transition from innocence to no longer innocent, but ...icky.

I still enjoy reading the book and will see the new movie. I know, I know.

What makes me not seem human?

Hmmm

Some people think I can read minds. But it's more a case of what they are about to say being obvious and being able to read people.

Still, I have creeped a few people out. lololol

I crouch low and slink closer and closer until finally I pounce; then I grasp my victim with my claws and administer the killing bite with my sharp fangs. When the prey is dead I bring it to the creature who loves me, and I await the praise I deserve.

I do experiments on their brains and gonads and then return them to exactly where I found them.

But based on your other posts about your challenges at work, you probably fear, or at least regret, being in IT sometimes!




As for me, I love Donald Trump. He's already the greatest president in history.

(Not true at all, but that would make you believe I'm not human, right?)
