You suffer from automonosis—the tendency to become bored with your own company. If you need to get away from yourself, here's a tip: you don't have to die in order to be reincarnated. People who don't like themselves often find happiness when they become somebody else. Companies that advertise in the backs of magazines are ready to assist in this transformation. If there are compelling personal reasons for not changing your identity, perhaps a trip to a spa for a simple makeover will do the trick.

HOLLYWOOD - Britney Spears responded angrily to "all y'all out there who falsely accused me of being irresponsible for not wearing a seat belt when I was teaching little Sean Preston how to steer."
In a message posted in the "Today's Truth" section of her website, Spears declared, "People shouldn't be so quick to point the finger of blame. The Bible says, 'Let him who is without fingers point first, but only after he has walked a mile in my Choos.'"
Spears then challenged "all the false tabloids and their followers out there who go around telling other people how to raise their babies" to take a driver's safety quiz. She said the quiz was designed to teach people "there isn't no one right way" to driving safety.
