A friend on Facebook keeps posting scary clown photos. What's that? Clowns aren't scary you say? Ok, perhaps for most people that's true. Not for me.
As a child I remember attending many circus events when they came to town. I loved the circus...except for the clowns. Why do children like clowns anyway? They are dressed with huge ugly shoes and fake horrible hair and the nose...well it's just plain rediculous! That's not to mention how noisy they are when they get on the microphone during their act!
Perhaps I might have liked clowns more if they had been silent as a kid. Instead they scream into some microphone in a poor attempt to invigorate the crowd. Particularly the kids. I only remember plugging my ears and wanting to crawl under the bench when they came out. To this day I dislike them.
I dread the day that Kiernan asks to go to the circus when they are in town. I will surely arrange for Beosig to take him when the time comes!

learned something new about you. i had a clown figurine in my bathroom in my studio apartment in college, so i hope it didn't freak you out.
there's a movie you shouldn't watch, but i can't think of the name of it right now. it will increase your dislike for clowns.
I honestly never noticed it. So no, it did not freak me out. :)
I've seen Stephen King's "IT" a couple of times. Is that what you are thinking of or something else? I really didn't like that book either, but the movie made the clown out to be all the freakier. I have never had a movie give me nightmares, but if I did, that one might have done it.
whew.
yes, that's it (no pun intended). i don't know why i couldn't think of the name, but i instantly thought of that movie when i read your blog. at least you're already warned about it.
