Yeah, I got totally freaked out by the swine flu. And when I say totally freaked out I mean actually planning in my head to stockpile water in the basement along with other necessary goods and started planning the logistics of life inside.

I do that: I freak out about shit. Things like outbreaks of killer viruses (thank you, Dustin Hoffman’s surprisingly good role in Outbreak) and nuclear war. It’s a closet freak out, until other people start talking about it, then I let my insanity ooze… slowly, though… like pus from a week-old wound that gets its scab broken.
