I am in a messed-up mood. We started watching "The Butterfly Effect" with Ashton Kutcher because some friends said it was good and I lasted maybe ten minutes. Two freaky scenes and had to turn it off. Then, on happy facebook, I saw the name of a friend of a friend who I knew in my distant past and it freaked me out further. I need to relax a little and go curl up in my bed.

Meanwhile, in the spirit of little pony-tailed girls putting their hands to their ears to block out things they don't want to hear and shouting "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!" at the top of their lungs - let's just make a happy little list of things I like that start with the letter 'A'. That will get my mind off the last yucky hour I've had.
