Finally, the first live show of the X Factor 2008. The nerves, the drama, the emotion, the anticipation! 12 acts squared off and one had to go home. And one certainly did.I don't think that there's any doubt that there's a pattern in what type of people win the competition....

After all of the reading I do about serial killers, rapists, murderers, and everything in between, one might think that I would be... well, more paranoid than everyone else. Being safe is great. Let's all be safe. Don't do stupid things, be careful when you're around people...
