IT


Everybody has one major fear, something they fear over everything else. For some people it is spiders, or snakes, or ping-pong balls (I don't actually know anybody that is afraid of ping-pong balls, but there's got to be somebody out there). For me it's clowns, I am absolutely terrified of clowns. Happy clowns, sad clowns, creepy clowns, quirky clowns, I am terrified.
Everybody knows about my fear, especially my parents. Ah, my clever, clever parents. In my family we always do funny presents for Christmas, like little kid toys and funny things like that. Well this year my parents gave me the movie IT. If you are not aware of this movie, it is pretty much the scariest clown movie ever. IT's name is PennyWise, PennyWise the clown, he haunts the children, pulls then into the sewer, and eats them. Since it is a Stephen King movie, the clown never dies. Even worse, there is no ending, no final word on the whole movie. I recommend watching the movie for this to make more sense.
Very funny right? No, not funny at all.
I love my parents, but I'm pretty sure they have scarred me for life.

Resolutions

New Years resolutions... everybody has them:
Quitting caffeine
Joining a gym
Walking their dog
etc.
I find it very hard to take these resolutions seriously. Nobody keeps these, why? Because habits are hard to break, it takes thirty solid times of doing something right to break the bad habit. Thirty days. That's January, pretty much a whole month. I think that you can try to hold onto your resolutions but rarely do you REALLY want to do them. If you are going to start doing something different, you have to want it to be different. Be you and be happy. That is my resolution, be happy, I think I can manage.
