pop off!

i recently mentioned on my facebook that pop n' fresh dough freaks me out. i'm afraid it will pop while i'm peeling off the paper. it's not like it pops loudly or with a lot of force, but it still has me looking like an idiot when i open it.
that being said, balloons have a similar effect on me. balloons just living their little balloonie life on the end of string are fine. but when some kid is playing with a balloon near me... squeezing it, dragging it on the ground and even biting it...well, i gotta get out of there. i get the cold sweats and the racing heart. it's insane!

so, this little "russian roulette" game would torture me into confessing to anything. "yes! yes! i was on the grassy knoll!!"
