1. 123 I Love You: This morning I wish I were deaf-blind
Nominated by Sarah

Do you think that I’m exaggerating about how much I dislike this sound? Well, I’m not. I would rather wake up in a semi-drugged state in the depths of some Russian forest and hear a group of men arguing about which one of my organs to harvest.

2. bluishorange: Dear Frank Warren,
Nominated by Lyle

When I told my therapist about my secret, I expected him to look surprised. I thought he would put down his Diet Dr. Pepper, lean forward in his chair and say, “Really? Tell me more.” But he didn’t. Instead he just said, “Oh. Yeah.” I get the feeling that I share this secret with others.

3. Farting through my Fingertips: MEME: 28 Things — excuses and prompts to ramble
Nominated by Peter

Screaming down the country roads on the crest of the wave of sunshine and field scent, dancing round the twisties and the corners and the wriggly bits, and random what-the-hell let’s-liven-this-up-a-bit slaloming in between the white lines on the A-roads and motorways getting faster and faster till the front wheel starts to skip too much. Then hauling up at a country pub for a huge feed of top notch nosh and some steaming in the garden’s breezes before creaking back into the saddle and bam! off and away again, dancing dancing down the country lanes.

4. GAY NAZI SEX VICAR IN SCHOOLGIRL VICE KNICKERS DISCO LAWNMOWER SHOCK!: Sunday 4th May 2008
Nominated by overnighteditor

I sometimes try to mimic how women speak, with their constant interruptions of each other, and it comes across as attempted dominance. If I interrupt they go silent and I want to say, “No no…it was just a throwaway remark - let’s just carry on,” but feel my heart sink as the man who’s launched a torpedo into the Elysian world of female banter.

5. Taexalia: The Creepy Lurker
Nominated by misssym

I wonder why we often choose to remember the negative things people say about us instead of the positive comments, why we hold up a singular negative comment like a beacon and batter our self esteem to death with it.

6. XBox4NappyRash: I said ‘Nappy’, dammit
Nominated by Newbie

‘Trying to conceive’, or more accurately ‘trying and failing miserably to conceive’ not only brings about the standard old side effects you read in the books or on websites, but there are hidden and unexpected side effects too, particularly for us gentlemen.
