(dialogue of me to myself)
Today's self-psycho-analysis session will focus on your fascination with impending doom. The format for today's self-psycho-analysis will be the Who/What/Where/When/Why/How format. Please keep your answers short because you are paying by the hour.
Who are the likely recipients of impending doom?
In my mind, (since that is where self-psycho-analysis takes place and does not necessarily follow a rational thought process) only the wicked or foolish will suffer.
What are your impending doom fascinations about.
1. Armageddon. That is my number one. I say get this whole thing over and done with so we don't have to worry about wars and wickedness and R-rated movies anymore.
2. Bombs. Destroying only the wicked, of course. Mainly that Abbameanajob guy. I say nuke him before he nukes us or the Israelis.
3. Widespread viral outbreak. That season of "24" was not to be missed or taken lightly. If we are all confined to home I hope we will still have internet and cable connections. I have food in my freezer and enough antibiotics to protect a small army.
4. Weather. Hurricanes get the most news coverage. Personally, I look forward to snow.
Where do you look for impending doom information?
For most of my news I go to Fox News. They have great financial and political doom scenarios. Also Glen Beck. He takes impending doom and puts it on a platter. It would just be rude to not have at least a taste of it floating around my head.
TV series have great impending doom scenarios I might never think of on my own. Jericho, for instance, took a nuclear attack to a whole new level.
When do you expect this impending doom to arrive?
Hurricanes are the best because you get a real timeline updated in real time. I hope no one gets hurt except the "unwise" who go surfboarding. That is just natural selection at work. I wish no homes would be destroyed but when you build your house on the sand below sea level in a hurricane zone...well we know how that song ends.
Why do you think you have this impending doom fascination?
There is a line between being prepared and being paranoid. I need reading glasses so that line can become fuzzy at times.
Being prepared is good a thing. When I think of a disaster, but know that I am prepared for it, I feel secure.
How does your thought process work?
Now, if I knew that, I wouldn't think it! Basically, I think planning for the worst and hoping for the best is ideal, but not a characteristically familiar thought process. I see the possibility for impending doom and figure out a way to make it bearable if it happens to me.
Have you ever experienced impending doom first hand?
I've blocked out that memory.

Awesome. A woman after my own heart. Although my fascination often goes further... I play out scenarios in my head such as if my car were to plummet off the bridge, how would I save myself and my kids? Apparently the solution I had thought of would not work, or so I was told by my husband.

Ok, honestly that was one of the best/funniest blog posts I have read in a long time. There is so much I would like to comment on, but since it is a self-PYSCHO-analysis I will keep the logic to myself. Great writing. Love the voice, am scared by the thinking.
