Did you ever read that Stephen King novel, Christine<\/em><\/strong> and then spend the whole rest of your summer vacation being afraid of your sister\u2019s 1975 VW rabbit, Wilbur?!\u00a0 Stupid name, no?\u00a0 But now you must be afraid.\u00a0 Very afraid.\u00a0 Afterall, the possibility exists that beloved cars can come alive.\u00a0 And seek vengeance.\u00a0 You mocked its name.\u00a0 And now you must DIE!!!<\/p>\n

Or have you ever completely avoided that underground tunnel on your morning run?\u00a0 The one that takes the running path safely UNDER the highway??\u00a0 Or do you prefer instead\u00a0to dodge cars ACROSS the highway, rather than take that tunnel because it reminds you too much of the underground tunnel scene set in the playground that\u2019s guarded by hedge animals in Stephen King\u2019s The Shining.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Once you\u2019ve read that scene, you can\u2019t view tunnels the same way again.\u00a0 Ever.\u00a0 Tunnels now contain unspeakable evil.\u00a0 All tunnels.\u00a0 All evil.\u00a0 And if you\u2019re ever lucky enough to run through one safely, don\u2019t look back.\u00a0 DON\u2019T LOOK BACK!!!\u00a0 Because if you do, you\u2019ll get a one-armed wave from whatever evil lives within.<\/p>\n

Gaaaaah!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There are so many Stephen King novels that have ruined me for so many things: clowns, St. Bernard dogs, solar eclipses, dirty pillows, posters of Rita Hayworth, sparrows, strawberry pie, baseball cards, handcuffs, the bull Erinyes, dreamcatchers, mice, long-buried alien spacecrafts which leak invisible gas and turn the townspeople on each other.\u00a0 Late last night and the night before, tommyknockers, tommyknockers\u00a0knocking at my door.\u00a0 Wanna go out, don’t know if I can,\u00a0cuz I’m so afraid of the TOMMYKNOCKER MAN!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0No need to go on.\u00a0 You get the gist.\u00a0\u00a0But the most important thing to mention here is that you might have a twin in a parallel universe.\u00a0 If you ever have to go on a mission through the Territories to locate a magical crystal, the twin thing becomes a real possibility.\u00a0 I just wanted you to know what was what in case you haven\u2019t read <\/em>The Talisman by Stephen King.<\/em><\/p>\n

Over the years, my relationship with Stephen King has become like my relationship with Martha Stewart.\u00a0 It\u2019s love\/hate.\u00a0 I hate him and he doesn\u2019t know who I am.\u00a0 Even so, I do find myself forgetting from time to time\u00a0how his stuff gets in my head and lives there.\u00a0 FOREVER!\u00a0 So once in a while, when my memory stumbles and falls, I pick up one of his\u00a0books, hoping to give him another chance to\u00a0play with my sanity.<\/p>\n

Case in point?\u00a0 While Hubby was\u00a0out-of-town on a business trip last week, I started reading Stephen King\u2019s A Good Marriage<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 It\u2019s about a woman.\u00a0 Whose husband is out-of-town.\u00a0 On a business trip.\u00a0 She discovers a hidden box\u00a0in the garage.<\/p>\n

And?!?….<\/p>\n

Done.\u00a0 DONE!<\/p>\n

Now I remember why I am once again done with you and your crazymaking, Stephen.\u00a0 But nice try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
