Please try to avoid repeats!

I am corruption, unseen, hard to stop.

I am investigation, exposing and correcting.

I am a Dickhead. Loud and irritating.

I am a condom, lubricating and contraceptive.

I am drunkenness, intoxicating and memory-reducing.

I am AA, coffee drinking and comradery building

I am temptation, subtle, ever-present.

I am an oath, solemn and irrevocable.

[By the way, this sequence had wonderful poetry - thanks to WhyNot:

I am Death, peaceful and final.

I am Memory, eternal and forever.

I am Alzheimer’s, insidious and degenerative.

I am Love, accepting and gentle.

I am natural order, amoral and unjudging.

I am a miracle, unnatural, out of the ordinary.

I am disbelief, belittling and cynical

I am LDS, experience-triggering, vision-engendering, and cynicism-shattering.

I’ve known some Mormons who were pretty cool people, but I wouldn’t go that far…

I am utter relaxation.

… and dyslexia-inducing!

I am a fire alarm, loud, tensing.

heh. gay man said “outtage” – I’m seeing a particularly hypocritical closted senator getting his comeuppance…

I am a fire drill; orderly and calm-inducing.

I am blind panic, order shattering, crowd confusing and chaotic.

I am safe refuge, peaceful and serene.
