Day 2: Fears
It's technically day 2 since it's past midnight, plus I already said I'm not following the rules, just doing them when I feel like it. And right now I'm really fucking bored.
2. Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears.
1) This is really strange and I hadn't thought about it in a long time, but caterpillars freak me out. I know how that one became a fear, too. When I was little I found a huge caterpillar that had fangs. Fucking FANGS! I'm not even kidding. It freaked me out so bad, so I grabbed the biggest rock I could find and smashed it about ten times. Looking back I should have let it live, but I'm pretty sure it was half vampire. So caterpillars creep me out. Along the same line, I'm afraid of centipedes/millipedes (I don't really know what the difference is...one has more legs I guess?). Those things are fucking creepy. I'm definitely more afraid of those than caterpillars lol. Wow, saying I'm afraid of caterpillars makes me sound like the biggest pussy. I'm not afraid of them, per se...they're just creepy. But I AM afraid of centipedes/millipedes. The big ones, anyway. The tiny ones don't bother me. I REALLY hate the ones with long antennas and crazy legs going out from the sides. I had actually never seen one like that before until I saw my cat chasing something. I went to see what it was, and it was one of those fuckers. I may or may not have freaked out like a little girl and asked B to kill it lol. I have no idea how or why it got into our house, but it had better never happen again. That thing was seriously like two inches long and had these huge ass antenna and a million long legs flailing all over the place, and it moved really fast. Even thinking about it creeps me out.
2) Fires. When I was in first or second grade we went on a field trip to the fire station. They showed us this video where this girl was playing with hot water and got 2nd and 3rd degree burns all over. Then they showed her in the burn unit with all the painful burn treatments and you could hear her screaming in agony. I mean, blood-curdling screams. I get that they were trying to show us that burning yourself is a really bad idea and that we needed to be careful, but fuck...that was traumatizing lol. I still remember it very well. I know that's not a fire, but really...you're more likely to get burnt in a fire than a bathtub, unless you're really little and left alone or just fucking stupid. They must have had some HOT water for it to cause burns that bad. When I was a kid I used to have dreams that our house was on fire, and sometimes it would spread through the neighborhood. Luckily we always got out. A couple months ago I actually had a fire dream, too. The neighbor's house was on fire, and it started to spread. So yeah...fuck fire and burns and all that stuff. I can't watch anything with burn victims on it.
3) The ocean. Weird, I know. And I have no idea where this fear came from. I like the beach, I like looking at the ocean, and I'm fine with going a few yards into it. But if it's higher than my waist, I don't want to be in it. I can swim just fine. The ocean just freaks me out. I don't want to be eaten by a shark, for one thing. And it would freak me the fuck out if a fish touched me lol. I hate it when seaweed touches me. Jenny thinks it's hilarious, because I "act like a little girl" according to her (and I do) and freak out if seaweed or anything in the water touches me, because I'm afraid a fish touched me lol. I don't know why I'm so afraid of fish touching me. It just freaks/grosses me out. I don't want to be stung by a jellyfish. I don't want to be washed away by a wave. And going on a cruise? Fuuuucccckkkk that. I'm afraid of shipwrecks. With my luck, if I went on a cruise it would be the next Titanic. I don't want to drown in the ocean, and I don't want to freeze to death in the ocean. I also don't want to be stranded out in the ocean with no land in sight. I grew up near the ocean, so I don't get it. I like the Pacific Ocean way better than the Atlantic Ocean though. But yeah...like I said, I like looking at the ocean, I like going to the beach, I like wading in the tide, and I even like going in it a little ways, but other than that...fuck the ocean.

I do share your fear of fire though. I really hate it. I'm convinced in a past life I was wrongly accused of witchcraft or something and burned at the stake. :-p I don't even like being near lighters and have a hard time lighting candles. :-/
I really don't like spiders either (especially ones with long spindly legs) but now, when I see one, I try to picture it holding flowers and/or wearing shoes and it takes a lot of the fear away. haha, I know it's goofy but whatever works, right? :-)

Wow, if lighters and lighting candles bothers you, you must really have a fire phobia! Haha being accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake would be a pretty shitty way to go.
You picture it holding flowers and wearing shoes? Lol that's awesome.
