It October, so here is a quick list of some of the random things I’m afraid of.

1. Bridges
2. Ghosts
3. Realistic dolls
4. Small spaces
5. Black Widow Spiders

Just for some added “laugh at me” value, I will also add five things I do not like at all:

1. Ants
2. Sticky
3. Crowds
4. Loud noise
5. Being unable to get away from input I’d rather avoid.

Yep. The title of this post about sums up my day.

The day started with me waking up early (yet again) and staring at my clock in disbelief. Why do I keep waking up before my alarm? I think it’s a plot somehow worked out by those “early to bed” people. Either that or it was stress. Could be either. Once I was actually conscious, I made The Call while still in bed. After nearly six years of this, I wasn’t really all that surprised to find out that the results came back negative. Sigh. I had no time to dwell on this, though, as I had to get ready for my dentist appointment.

Like many, I’m not really that big on going to the dentist. I like having to get up early to visit the dentist even less. Really, I avoid getting up early in general, but that’s beside the point. I arrived at the dentist’s office just about on time, but as we got set up it was discovered that the walkman from my last visit had gone missing. Luckily, just as I was beginning to despair a bit, the dentist looks at me and says, “What kind of music…wait…classic rock right?”

I nodded.

Dentist: “So… you like AC/DC and Motorhead?”

Me: “Actually, Back in Black has been stuck in my head for the last two and a half days.”

Dentist: “I’ll get my iPhone.”

It turns out that the only music he had on his iPhone was pretty much all of AC/DC and some Motorhead. I approve. So, I ended up listening to both the Back in Black album and the TNT album while I was there. This helped quite a bit…even if I still had Back in Black stuck in my head.

A quick note about the song Back in Black by AC/DC. Over the last three days now, I have had the opportunity to ponder this song mightily, and two things have occurred to me. 1) This song could be used to make quite the routine for a morris dancing troupe. 2) Other than morris dancing, a simple jazz square is the perfect dance step for this song. I’m thinking that you now know a bit too much about how my mind works. Moving on.

Okay, so now comes the part where I tell you about my newest obsession: Corvairs. Yep. I like classic cars, and like Koshvader wants a Stingray, I want a Corvair. Specifically, I’d like a 1964-1969 hardtop automatic of some sort. Like this 1964 red hardtop:

I’ve been torturing myself over on Classic Cars.com these last few weeks, and today was no exception. That car up above? It’s only $4,500.00. *whimper*

Just for fun, here’s Koshvader’s dream car – a 1966 Corvette Stingray:

Right. So I suppose that you’re wondering why I want a classic car. Honestly? I’m a bit worried about all of the computer bits in cars these days. I get this feeling like I’ll be driving down the road someday and my car will blue screen on me. I feel that I’d be better off if I also have a car that I can learn to fix myself, you know?

Also? Classic cars are really cool. They’d be totally worth the cost of insurance…once I’ve paid off the cars I have now. (Or so I keep telling myself.) I’d like to have one in black or British Racing Green, but I’ll take a red one. Not the best commuter car to buck traffic with, but then, what is?

And now, I’m off to bed so I can be rested up to go see Kylie Minogue in concert tomorrow. *squee*
