I posted this on the submission thread but I was too late for anyone to read it so here it is again:

wooooo I thought I had read all of them over on the contest page but looks like I missed some. I absolutely HATE scary movies but reading these are so much fun. for one the fact that you don’t have to sit through a two hour movie building up to what you already know is going to happen is a big plus.

Thanks so much for choosing my story! Would this be a good moment to try and wheedle myself out of the greys? :D

The previous owner of my grandparents’ house had a coffin made for himself, that he proceeded to hang in the upstairs bedroom. The bedroom I slept in when I visited. Damn hooks were still in the ceiling.

I’ll share a brief everyday horror which happened to a friend.

Am I allowed to have a second submission? This story was relayed to me by one of my best friends. Back in the late 70s, my friend’s mom was a student at UNC. She had a car on campus, and went home on the weekends fairly regularly. She lived in the country, so when she went home, her route was often unmarked pavements…

So I submitted one before but didn’t realize that I could submit via the comments (thought I forgot my password! I didn’t )

So ur with ur honey and yur making out wen the phone rigns. U anser it n the vioce is “wut r u doing wit my daughter?” U tell ur girl n she say “my dad is ded”. THEN WHO WAS PHONE?

Yaaaaay! This is my favorite thing Jezebel does all year. In case anyone else is like me and can’t get enough of these stories, I posted these links before, and am reposting for posterity:

Ooh that’s a good idea. I think that would definitely help me with the day-of stress I’m already worried about feeling.

Maybe I’ll look into it before my breakfast of 3 shot espresso and 2 adderall.

That sounds like hell for your mom, I’m so sorry. It sucks pretty bad but without my husband, it would be a million times worse. He literally waits outside the bathroom until I can get her out of her clothes and runs them down to start the wash. It’s the only way to make her not smell.

Thanks. Cake is an acceptable wine substitute. I ate an entire Potbelly chocolate brownie cookie yesterday. No regrets.

Word.

It’s insane how different their entire personality becomes. My mom, who loved clothes and make up, now becomes furious when she has to wear something that is not her hideous floral skirt and ugly striped skirt. She looks like a bohemian Orthodox Jewish woman.

GO GET SOME DAMN WINE.

RIP Daryl.

Tina Fey and I each had our second child on the same day! (I tried to reword that and it still doesn’t look right). I am glad I am not the only freak who wanted to know what celebrity was pregnant at the same time that I was.

A) “I asked every person I met since day one, ‘Find me a boyfriend!’ Like, especially new friends too.” is one of the saddest and most embarrassing things I have ever read. Like, I literally had tears of sympathetic embarrassment fill my when I read it. Also, I would not be friends with someone who, upon meeting…

I refuse to believe they are banging now.
