Splat!!

That’s the sound of an alarm clock hitting the wall. :D

I just realized the sound of alarm clocks disturbs me on a deep level: I’m listening to a kids’ songs CD and one song about hours and minutes starts with the sounds of various clocks, one of them being an alarm clock, and I reacted to the sound of that one with a shudder and the hair on my neck and arms standing on end.

Ugh!

(I’ve also noticed that, in my old age, when something irritates me, even if I don’t consciously realize it’s bugging me, my skin starts to actually hurt, like it’s bruised all over. Gee, what a sensitive soul…)
