Phobias

Steel magnolias.....


Okay, for real . . I am absolutly terrified of my husband waking up one day and realizing being with me is not worth dealing with all my issues.

My husband also just said that I am frightened of someone walking in and stealing my son. the reason this is weird is because I never had that fear with my daughter. My neuroses (sp) get worse as I get older.
 
This isn't really a phobia - I've got a fear of heights, and this isn't like that at all. It's more of a visceral reaction, I guess.

You know those bars with all sorts of old garbage on the walls? Old license plates, advertisements from the '30s... sometimes, they have these life-size figures, like a chef with a big belly and floppy hat and moustache, or a paper boy with knickers and a flatcap, or some other stock character from a neighborhood in the '20s to give the place atmosphere...and they are made out of something that looks like paper mache, with laquer on it, so they are shiny.

Shiny fake atmospheric people. They completely freak me out. My skin crawls, and I shiver when I look at them.

and sewer grates.

I don't have a problem with sewer grates, but I freak out if I have to drive in interstate traffic. I literally can not drive on the highway in large cities. I panic.

You and half the fucking population of Seattle.

Lol! No, I really panic. So, instead of endangering lives, I refuse to drive on the interstate. That really limits my travelling radius. :)

I love driving in Seattle. My in-laws live there. I drive the commute from lynnwood to seattle or from redmond to seattle all the time when I am there. But, I love driving.

I can't drive at all. Too much going on around me, and niggling at the back of my mind is the fact that at least half the people on the road got their license because they have a pulse.

No thanks. I would rather do something safe. Like car bomb disarming in Iraq.

What a fucking awesome pic this is! I just had to share it. Yes, I like grasshoppers, but I like spiders even more. :devil:
That is disgusting Lou! Why are you torturing the squeamish?

Not that I'm one of them...I'm a nurse after all...

Because I like to make people scream? :cool:

Ah, so I'm not the only person here who re-read the Shelob's Lair chapter over and over.

Why oh why are you torturing me?

Because I can.


Joe, dunno about anyone else, but I've not even read it once. I am so un-cultured.
