This was great!  Your way of explaining things reminds me a bit of Jen Kirkman. Have you heard of her?

[SaraBenincasa]

I have, and I admire her muchly! Thank you for the compliment!

[PretzelFarmer]

Ha, that was awesome, keep posting these things, they're great!

[SaraBenincasa]

Thanks! I love pretzels!

Why did the Dr. have a french accent?...I thought she was Italian.

[SaraBenincasa]

She was Sicilian, dipped in French dressing.

[dymphnasis]

Oh my God Sara, you are so fucking brilliant!

[ASHTONZANECKI]

OMG SARA.

CAN I HAVE YOUR CHILDREN.

[DevilShroom]

Absolutely hilarious!! I feel your pain, I used to have awful panic attacks too but I love how you find the funny side of it and talk about it with humour X)

[paulishere22]

I love you in the least creepy way possible over the internet. So, very creepy.

[BeccaLaughsAtBecca]

So good! So funny.

[vonfox83]

Holy Shit. How is this real? You are my goddamn hero.

[misterpantybuns]

Thank you! I will try!

[GretchenDawntreader]

misterpantybuns, you have a great screenname but too much of a life, you are watching an average of 1 video every 2 days! You must aspire to have less of a life!

[misterpantybuns]

Love your blog, Palin Vlogs and this one too, It's so nice of you to post your sows for free like this. I know I should have tried to see yo in Provincetown with Margaret Cho. Naughty me. I should visit Sicily someday. I have many third cousins there. Love your dress. Pretty.

Sara, I went on a cruise that stopped for 7 hours in some port in Sicily - can't remember the name but the only show in town was a clock tower with life-sized animated characters that puts on a show at noon. Half the animations were broken. It's a beautiful place, but 7 hours was more than enough. "The Alabama of Italy" is a perfect description. Loved your story - I admire you for your ability to be so open about your phobias.

[mad4music7]

Well, OBVIOUSLY.

[RoseyDanes]

My grandma and her family are from Sicily and they hated it so much that they were ashamed to say they were from there when they first came here.
