Oh, dear. This is very funny, and also not. I think everyone has a version of this list, but usually it just clunks around in one's head, tripping us up when we're trying to enjoy our quotidian rounds. To actually itemize, publish it, and make it funny seems very cathartic. Hurrah for you, honey.


Hmm, is that a reference to the nine parts of desire?
