Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?
so everyone has legitimate fears, do you have any totally irrational fears or anxieties? you know, things that are almost funny, except you seriously get all worked up about it?
i am afraid to change overhead lightbulbs. like, serious serious anxiety about it. i have no problem with changing lightbulbs that are at a normal level. but trying to change a lightbulb in a ceiling fixture?
oh god, i had to do it last night in my apartment and the whole thing honestly took me about 45 minutes.

you snooze, you lose
well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
and I can
hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant

Quicksand.
Had a horrible nightmare also when I was in kindergarten, I woke up screaming. The nightmare involved the playground at the school and random puddles of quicksand would appear and the kids would get stuck and drown.
Of course now I know quicksand doesn't quite work that way!

I am terrified of caterpillars. I hate sitting at tables when people mention caterpillars because I'm afraid they're crawling under the table and are going to drop onto me. I ran into a caterpillar hanging from a tree once and then had to take a shower that was so long and hot I had to get cream from the school doctor for the burns.
Even just writing this I have to check my hair and my back and my bed and desk to make sure none of them are coming to get me.

If you ever find yourself reading a book entitled The Bible, you will find yourself reading the story of Adam and Eve, whose daring lives led them to put on clothing for the first time to escape from the snake infested garden in which they were living.
this is probably the wierdest, but black lines or dots formed densely together. Not that they scare me, but for some reason I find it totally disgusting. Completely irrational, I know.

Fish.
Little fish, big fish, just fish in general. I can eat it, I just can't stand to look at them and I CAN'T touch them. I even get freaked out when they're on tv or people just talk about them. I can't even stand little gold fish. When I was little I use to put things in my mom's fish tank trying to kill her fish.
They seriously freak me out.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

Ticks. I've been afraid of them for years.
Earthworms. I developed a severe phobia during the rainy season this past summer.

I'm with you on cold telephone calls, Kirsten. Which is odd because I'm typically very outgoing.
Also, Kahlua. I can't do chocolatey drinks. With one thought of them, I taste them in my mouth and start to gag. I wouldn't run from the room screaming if I saw a bottle, but if someone's drinking it, I can't be near them.

I'm afraid of bees, which seems rational until you realize that I'm not afraid of bee stings. I've been stung before and it wasn't traumatic. I'm just afraid of the bees themselves. This usually takes a lot of explaining.
Umm, potentially stupid question... what are cold telephone calls? I've never heard that before.

Not sure what a "cold" telephone call is, but I hate the phone. HATE. I get stomach pains when I have to call someone.
But mostly, Birds. I hate birds.
Well, little sparrows and chicadees, not so much, but the bigger ones, especially Canada Geese and Pigeons scare me. They are going to fly at my face and peck my eyes out! They are going to flap their big wings at me!
Pigeons and Magpies are dirty and gross, like rats with wings. Canada Geese hiss and poop like people. They don't poop regular bird poop. They poop like they've been eating meat!

Spiders. Especially ones that don't just sit nicely in their webs where I can aviod them entirely. I was flopped in bed the other day and saw one (which was apparently small... it seems some people do not account for the legs). There was panic and fear involved. Fortunately I had a spider-killing knight nearby.
Also, shots. I start to twitch and get very uncomfortable when people talk about needles and IVs and getting them and giving them. And there's all out panic when I have to get one myself. (Although, oddly enough, in the mouth doesn't bother me, so long as there is topical freezing first.)

Not shots, per se, but of IVs, yeah. It took a long time for the nurses to get an IV in me when I had Anna. Like a really long time, and then the same thing happened a little later when I had surgery. I just hate them.
Cold telephone calls = calls to people you don't know, or with no previous plan, i.e. calling to complain about something.

Agreed. The only calls which don't cause me a great amount of pain are those with a few male friends that usually last less than ten seconds. Something like: "Where are you?" "I'm at <place>." "Ah, come to <other place>, we're all here." *click*Not sure what a "cold" telephone call is, but I hate the phone. HATE. I get stomach pains when I have to call someone.
But I suppose plastic ducks don't count?But mostly, Birds. I hate birds.

The Makeout Hobo is real, and does indeed travel around the country in his van and make out with ladies... If you meet him, it is customary to greet him with a shot of whiskey and a high five (if you are a dude) or passionate makeouts (if you are a lady).

Exactly. Ditto. Friends are an exception, but only if I have a specific purpose in calling.Not sure what a "cold" telephone call is, but I hate the phone. HATE. I get stomach pains when I have to call someone.
I don't mind receiving calls, because then it's the other person's responsibility.
"Cold" calls are calling someone that you don't know and who doesn't know who you are.

Me too! I rehearse all dialogue before making a phone call and get paranoid trying to think up responses to anything that might be thrown from the other end.
