What is your personal Linus-type security blanket? As you might know, Linus from "Peanuts" is constantly rubbing a blanket against his cheek as a form of neurotic security. However, in real life, many of us have our own form of security blanket.
In my own case it is my leather fanny pack that I wear around my waist. I stick my money, cell phone, radio, sunglasses, dental floss, pens, and other stuff in there so it is very practical. However, I have developed an incredible NEUROTIC dependency on my leather fanny pack. This was brought home a couple of days ago when the belt part of the fanny pack broke. Since I couldn't get a replacement fanny pack until today, I tossed the entire fanny pack into a cloth bag for a day and kept incessantly rubbing it for assurance. Yes, I know it sounds stupid but, just as Linus is dependent upon his blanket, I am dependent upon my fanny pack. All day yesterday I had a sickening feeling of emptiness and insecurity until I bought my new fanny pack this morning. Now I feel whole again as well as secure.
Okay, I just made a complete fool of myself by exposing my complete emotional dependency on a leather fanny pack so now it is YOUR TURN to reveal your neurotic objects of dependency. Don't hold back. Confess ALL.
Actually PJ, you've become addicted to the estrogen that wearing a fanny pack releases into your system
Oh glory I know what you mean. I'm down here, too. I cannot go anywhere without practically an ice water IV drip. I just get a kick out of people at work who carry their water bottle around from air conditioned room to room. I guess with our unhealthy habits being taken away something has to replace it! LOL! I mean go for it, water is a good thing.
I confess, Hershey kisses. If there are none in the house I freak out!
My Marlboros.
Don't men have "manbags" now?
