*Back in the public school, the students used to call this the “Suicide Song,” because it was used in a Channel One commercial about not being embarassed to seek help for mental problems. Whenever I hear it, I think of that commercial and the kids singing along with it.

(Item: when you step on a wilted holly leaf with your bare foot, it feels a lot like I’ve always imagined a rattlesnake bite might feel.) (Good thing I’m such a stickler for tidiness. You’ll find no one or two maybe a few a lot of those, here and there, on my freshly vacuumed carpets.) (Of course, it only takes one snake bite to do you in, too.) (Those things are sharp!) (I have Star Wars bandaids, so try to imagine how long it’s been since I had to buy those!) (I don’t think even Big Lots still carries them.)
