Title: What are you afraid of?
Post by: TP Zelda on July 02, 2007, 11:58:00 PM
Should this be in the GD board?

Anyway, I'm scared of:

Earthquakes. (Even though they're cool.)
Thunderstorms. (Even though they're cool.)
Black Widows. (Great... now I think they're going to crawl up my leg.)
My parents dying.
Tornadoes (There are only little dust devils or whatever they're called...)
Bears
Uhhhh...

At Thanksgiving:
That a bear was going to tip over the camper.
That a mountain lion was going to somehow get in the camper.
That a mountain lion would jump out of the darkness.
My uncle.

Oh where do I begin?  ;D
-tornadoes tearing down my house and having no where to live...and it ruining all my videogames
-death of a family member or close friend
-watching open-heart surgery on T.V. while eating
-Having my progress on Twilight Princess accidentally erased.
-Biting bugs
-Vicious animals
-pain (not death, I don't fear death unless it's painful)

Different made up quote. :P

Edit: "The only things we have to fear are spiders, snakes, werewolves, sharks, dying alone, zombies, clowns, heights, big dogs, robots with human brains, Johnson's wife, and fear itself."

No bears though. :(

Bees/Wasps. Just about it.

After going to Wal-Mart, I remembered: Wheelchairs and automatic doors. I've been stuck in automatic doors before, it's not fun at all. I thought I was going to be crushed.

OH and I'm not too fond of fireworks, one almost shot me. I don't like the idea of drowning or choking, either.

Wasps.

And falling from great heights.
Title: Re:What are you afraid of?
Post by: Zoratunic on July 05, 2007, 03:05:44 PM
For me, I would have to say:
Insects that sting, bite, or anything like that.
Heights, but only on things I think I can fall of of.
horror movies
Sudden suprises
and who could forget Wallmasters?

Post by: Mysterious F. on July 05, 2007, 04:55:22 PM
I'm also afraid of Bees/wasps because I'm allergic to both, actually. bees from one side, wasps from the other. It is comes in some use to me, however. Because PA isn't the most bee-less state, (or rather, the part I live in) I don't have to cut the grass EVER.  :)
Title: Re:What are you afraid of?
Post by: Fishalicious on July 05, 2007, 05:06:41 PM
I'm allergic to bees too, but I'm not scared of them. I'm not deathly allergic, either, so...

But to be honest, I'm not afraid of animals... well aside from those monstrous fish. -shudder- (Even then, only in the water.) Spiders and bugs don't phase me; the other day, I was looking at "Gohmas" outside and my friend tried to get me to freak out by saying "Oh my god, Haley, there's a spider on your leg!" and I was like "Really? Cool."

Well, and I'm sort of afraid of sudden movements in a chicken pen. Partially due to The Legend of Zelda. >w> (and partially 'cause chickens hurt.)

Wasps are what really bother me. Bees aren't too bad... as a general rule, if you leave them alone, they'll return the favor. Wasps, however, are aggressive, and for no reason! They haven't been as bad this year, though, thankfully. Probably because we haven't had any rain at all this spring or summer. I've never been stung by either, but wasps still freak me out.
Title: Re:What are you afraid of?
Post by: Zoratunic on July 05, 2007, 07:03:17 PM
Same here. I've never been stung before, but I get all twitchy around them.
Title: Re:What are you afraid of?
Post by: alex on July 05, 2007, 07:12:58 PM
haha, wasps, that reminds me of a game me and my friend tried to make up a long time ago... it kinda sucked and i ended up getting stung  :-*  it dosn't hurt that bad... but still whenever someone says wasp i'm all like OMG, WHERE?! WHERE!!

i get all defensive and walk around with the something sharp or my hair straightner whenever i hear a wierd noise or something :]

Bears,
ghosts,
my sister in a bathing suit, my sister in general,
my dad,
my memory card being lost or broken,
the death of the human race,
nuclear war,
drowning (very unpleasant.),
my family tree going extinct,
tornadoes,
someone breaking into our house, getting into our rifles that I did not just tell you about, and using them against us,
anything happening to any of my stuff, or anyone in my family.
That is me.

If necroposting makes you lose sleep, perhaps you should seek professional help.

I think my most irrational fear would be that of being eaten by something in the pool, it only haunts me when I am completely alone in the pool, but it is still weird  ;D
Also, I fear feelings taking over me, I usually see things critically, and it is weird, I know, but I've seen friends becoming slaves to their passions.

it said "having awesome friends" before

but you know thanks for bringing it up i thought nobody might notice (http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p55/Commodore_Axilon/SA%20Emoticons/mad.gif)

No, it is not great when those passions keep you away from what is really important. One must find balance between reason and passion to live a full life (man, I'm surprised how much buddhism i've been adopting lately)

OH I also forgot to say I'm scared ****less of big, violent dogs, although I guess I really shouldn't since the last one that attacked me ran away after a series of pokes in the right spots (I hate big dogs!)

If you go to the "Who's Online?" thing there are always guests looking at old threads for some reason (forum glitch?).  I end up looking at old topics pretty often because of that.

the death of the human race
I'd actually like it better if the whole human race died together. I mean, wouldn't you rather have all your family and friends come with you? That way you're not really leaving anything behind.

You know what else?
OK, this is where it gets touchy, but current news never killed anyone.
I am scared of Tijuana. Don't laugh, this is dead serious. Every day, people are executed by the mob, sometimes, the death counts rises up to about a hundred every week. Their main targets are usually the high ranks of the police.
Now, I don't if it is really true, but it is said that Mexico is kind of cursed, the war for indepence happened in 1810; exacly one hundred years later, the Revolutionary war took place (1910).
Now, call me crazy, but the way things have gone in the past year, it could very well evolve into... that
