Spontaneous Human Combustion

I used to be really interested in SHC. I read lots of books on it. There's some pretty nifty facts about SHC that if I was thinking straighter I could rattle off. Oh like even if you douse a person in gasoline they still wouldn't burn hot or fast enough to leave the traces SHC leaves. One of the books I read had an excellent hypothesis: Far from being something supernatural or paranormal, the author suggested that SHC was probably a defect on a cellular level where the mitochondria in a person's body started acting wonky and the chemical reaction due to that is what caused the body to combust.

Right about now I can think of several people I'd like to see combust. Maybe that's not true, but it feels good saying it.

I am tired of life kicking me in the stomach this year. It's starting to suck major donkey nads.

anyhow a meme from MeiFlower over at meiflower.blogspot.com:

Four jobs I have had in my life:

1. Snail stomper (10c a snail)
2. Telecommunications Rep (fancy way of saying chatline operator in a call room locale)
3. PSO (acronym for phonesex operator
4. Caregiver

Four movies I would watch over and over:

1. Star Wars, any and all
2. White Christmas
3. An Affair to Remember
4. Shaun of the Dead (I love Shaun of the Dead!)

Four places I have lived:

1. Lancaster, CA
2. Palmdale, CA
3. Montpelier, VA
4. Hackney, London, UK

Four TV shows I like to watch:
(only FOUR?!? How can I list only four? That is like Sophie's Choice to me!)

1. House
2. Medium
3. Psych
4. Numb3rs

Four places I have been on vacation:

1. New Orleans
2. Niagra Falls, Canada
3. Inverness/Loch Ness, Scotland
4. Las Vegas

Four websites I visit often:

1. www.knittyboard.com
2. myavc
3. bloglines
4. craftster

Four of my favorite foods:

1. cheese
2. mushroom soup/soup in general
3. pineapple orange juice
4. crackers

Four places I would rather be right now:

1. In San Diego, with my husband. :( (god this is a crappy day)
2. In London, @ forbidden planet, shopping for Christmas etc.
3. Fall, 1996, armed with the knowledge I have now, and knowing I only have a couple months left with my grandma.
4. Moab, Utah. Camping with my husband and Megan and no worries but what we are going to do that day. Moab is kind of scary, it was hauntingly perfect when we were there, so much so that the both of us are afraid to go back, lest we are disillusioned and it ruins our memories of the time we had been there before. It could have been the endorphins of new love, the excitement of travel, and all of that bs, but we really enjoyed Moab.
