THINGS THAT SCARE ME

A few thing that scare me........

1.) Blue whales, not all whales- not even the ones with killer in their names, just Blue whales. Now Lucas tells me that not matter how hard I try I will never see one and if I do they don't eat people. But my fear is that he is wrong and I will be swimming in the ocean and realize that there is a blue whale next to me- and before I know it- he has swallowed me. Not because he wants to eat me but he yawns and the current is so strong that I float in there. I know I wouldn't go down his throat because of how their mouths are, but I would get stuck in there. Just stuck to live for the rest of my life. I would have to say out of all the pickles I have found myself in throughout my life- this would be the worst. Now is it irrational that I don't get in the ocean for this very reason.....absolutely not. I think it is just common sense.

2.) Mice, rats, squirrels and anything else that has no backbone(I am not even sure if that is true, all I know is they can squirm in very small places)I have a rational reason to be scared to death of these things. I lived in an apartment in Mississippi for awhile, my psycho roommate was bulimic or something. We all of the sudden got a mice problem. I know this was not my fault. I am very clean- I think it was all her problems that brought them in. I know I should be more sympathetic but it was gross that we had mice. One ran across my foot too. And they would totally play games with me. They would hide and come out only when I was on the couch. The second I looked over at Mickey- he would run and hide somewhere until I got completely comfy and then the same game would go on and on. All in all we caught 6. And to top that all off, when Lucas and I moved into our new house we discovered the beauty of power lines. The first day we moved in, we are out on the patio- and notice huge freaking rats like to travel on power lines. Now we had orkin and terminex come out so we are all baited up in the yard. I am not sure if they are still there, but after about 2 weeks of obsessing over them, seeing the travelers every night I stopped looking. What I cant see isn't there right? (Just like my sister claims Coppell doesn't have mice.....because she refuses to notice them)

3.)Hoarders- it's gross, disgusting, dirty......enough said. Well not quite. It makes my skin crawl to think of people having junk mail piled up, or food from Costco- like 100 cans of soup- there is no reason for that. I get so grossed out to think of people who have clothes in there closet from 4 years ago. There is a reason why you haven't worn it, so throw it out. Skin literally crawling.

4.)Dinosaurs....... I say I don't believe in them, but really it's because they scare the crap out of me so I refuse to believe they ever existed.

5.)Cats- not house cats, unless the hiss at me, but alley cats. They carry feline AIDS and even though my vet has told me I can't get it, I am still not sure who to believe. Plus they also carry mice, in their mouths. Enough said.

6.)I have a fear of making people mad at me- I hate drama so normally when people get mad at me, I apologize and if that doesn't work, then that's the end of that bc I can't stand thinking of someone not liking me.

7.) I am terrified of jail- this is why I never drive. I don't even drive sober at night. I just get so scared a cop will pull me over and assume I have been drinking because my mouthwash and gum- I will blow higher than a .08 and they will haul me off to jail for the night. I can't imagine how dirty and gross it is. I would cry so hard I think they would kick me out!

8.)So scared of having kids..... the epidural never worked for my sister, she could feel every contraction. So you know with my outstanding luck it won't work on me either. Yup........

9.) I am scared of the dark- not to where I can't be in it but my mind plays tricks on me and I always see someone stealing our dvd player...... I know it's blue ray but that puzzles me as to why they would take that. If I robbed us I would take Skeeter Jennings........;)

10.) OBAMA......
11.) Recession.......
12.) Marilyn Manson......
13.) Barbara Walters.......
14.) baseballs hitting me in the head- I 'd be done.
15.) car accidents

Hope y'all enjoyed my fears...... I am fully aware that I have a little crazy on my side, just roll with it.
