I'm 25. I went 25 years without being stung by anything, but over the summer, as I was taking the lawnmower out of the shed at my mom's house, I got stung by three fucking wasps. Mean little bastards is as apt a description as you'll ever get for them.

YES. I'm forever trying to open my eyes while washing my hair. I hate that temporary feeling of blindness and vulnerability.

Holy shit. I was juuuust listening to that, albeit absentmindedly, and now I'm going to be a little creeped out when I shower. This whole thread is basically just reopening childhood traumas.

Ugghhh stop. I can stomach a lot of gross images, like 2 Girls 1 Cup, without any problem, but Gummo has the highest concentration of scenes that make me gag of anything else on Earth.

Ohhh yeah. Especially since when King is really in the zone, he can introduce characters and have you care about them within a couple of pages, but in this book…Well, yeah, it's not an uplifting story.

Honestly, it's probably stuff like that that's made me insist on having a dog at home ever since since. Now if I'm up late reading, watching, or playing something scary, I don't feel the need to react unless the dogs do too.
