Hey, stop making fun of me.

I hate bugs, too- I don't mind looking at spiders or insects, but I can't stand touching them. I go into spasms when I even feel like there's something on me.

Spasms are normal with me.  I don't consider it weird though.  I mean, there could be some evil bugger on your BACK?!?!  GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!!!

I think perhaps my most hated bugs have to be crickets.  see, we used to feed our lizard crickers, and often times we'ed drop the box and the crickets would scamper off into the house.  I FOUND ONE ON MY BED ONE NIGHT.  I slept on my beanbag in another room for 2 nights after.  God, I'm a wimp.

ANY bug that is bigger than my nails scare the living sh*t outta me.
Cockroaches are scary when i find one just sitting in the corner of my room, then when I go to get the swatter or the spray, it's gone.......ooooooh.
I really, REALLY hate the ones that fly.
I was about to swat one, then all of a sudden it flew into my face! I screamed like a girl.
Another thing is, i hate spiders. Not Daddy Long legs or anything. Those really big, hariy, thick ones. We had a couple in our house:
I think i was 8, and i was going upstairs, and up on the ceiling was one of those bird-catcher (forgot the name) spiders, and i ran back down to get mum. She got a chair, and sprayed some crap on it, then it fell down to the carpet. Our house back then had brown carpet, and this thing was brown, so it was CAMOFLAUGED! We saw it, smashed at the floor, then it was gone. We saw it again, I killed some of my toys, but we beat it!
There was a second one in the bathroom, but it was next to the toilet, so i flushed it down.
Hehehe.
I have this thing now where everytime i kill a bug, i flush it down the toilet, so that i KNOW it's gone, and it's not gonna come back to life in the bin and come back to get me.
My sister said to me a while back that all the bugs i flush down the toilet (i have flushed down HEAPS) will one day come back as undead bugs. I'm imagining this whole crowd of bugs at the other end of the drain: when a new bug is flushed down, the ones down there just say "Steve?" and the flushed bug goes "yep" and they're all shaking their fists at me.

Well, if you haven't guessed by now, I hate bugs. Little ladybeetles are fine, and those little cute ones are fine, but the pests are........*shudders*

I also hate heights when i have to jump them, or slide down steep things. But if there's a railing or somthing, and i'm just standing there, i'm fine.

One other weird thing is that when i was in bed, i heard bird chirps.......in the walls.
I went up to the wall, and sure enough, there was a bird caught in there or something. There are holes in the roff where birds and stuff can get it. Our house is brick veneer, not full brick, so the walls are hollow (but they have insulation in them), so i think the bird fell down the gap in the walls, and got stuck.
ANOTHER weird thing happened only a few weeks ago. On sunday morning, mum wakes me up and says theres a dead cat in the back yard. I got a bit freaked. Had our dog attacked out neighbours cat? Oh sh*t. I go outside. Thankfully, it WASN'T our neightbours cat, but some small grey one. There were no bite marks on it, so thank god, our dog didn't kill it (he's a wuss, and he's a german shepherd too!). My dad and I had to dig a whole and bury it. When the hole was deep enough, i got the shovel, picked up the cat (it was scarily stiff), and chucked it in the whole. But since the whole wasn't wide enough, the cat just rolled around and turned upward, looking at us. I yelled out and dropped the shovel. Dad laughed. So we buried it.
The next week, i went outside and realised that our dog had DUG UP the cat. It was still there, but it was half covered in dirt. I was freaked. So i uickly shoveled more dirt on it, and ran back inside.

So, I'm freaked about bugs, heights, and dead things.
Thats it from me.....

"Bees used to scare me. But they don't anymore because once during math class, a yeller jecket flew onto my nose. Everyone around me was screaming, but I kept my cool, yo. I didn't want to go running around like screaming like Infernal Donkey over here (), so I just sat there, and the bee went on it's way. Don't care about bees anymore."

A yellow jacket isn't a bee it's a WASP!  I hate it when people get them mixed up particularly when one is buzzing around my head and they're all like "Ian it's just a bee.  Don't worry about it".  Still if you're not scared of wasps anymore then you're surely not going to be scared of bees.

Regarding moths I once had one fly right into my eye.  That was one of the most uncomfortable experiences of my life.

I'm scared of many things, which I'm willing to share with you guys(you guys are like family)

- Fear/Phobia of Rejection: I've always had this fear. I just have this fear of people laughing at me, making fun of me (I had this problem when I was a kid, I used to be bullied around). I'm starting to overcome this though.

- Fear/Phobia of Needles: I'm just like you guys, I get freaked out about these too. I just hate how long they can be, and the piercing of the skin...ekk..

I also really hate it when things change too much. I know I can't control this, but I just dont lke it half the time. I really think clowns are freaky too.
I am one of the dark motherf*ckers you'll ever meet!

My bad dreams aren't like HC's, (holy crap your dreams was freaky), but mostly stupid stuff happens that I get REALLY scared of


That's my only scary dream ever.  A good example of other dreams?  Once I dreamt that two of my (male) friends were ball room dancing together, with this girl with down syndrome doing some hip hop DJ stuff, then my other friend came through the wall with a wrecking ball, crushing the ball room dancers, saying "Sucks to be them", and leaving.  Fun.

Bugs don't scare me at all, but bug guts make me sick.  I always gag when disposing of mutilated bugs. . . never vomited or anything, but it makes me sick for some reason. . . I mean, animals guts don't bother me.  Why should bug guts?

Also, for some reason, I can never seem to be embarassed. . . I often feel embarassed for other people, but can never feel shameful about myself.  Kind of weird, but very useful

Actually, I didn't think about it before, but I do have sort of an anticipation problem.  I get pre-embarassed, only occassionally, but I feel fine later, regardless, and while I'm doing it.  Just beforehand sometimes I get nervous.

NONE of you have weirder dreams than I. I once dreamt every night for a month that I was standing at the entrance to the parking lot of the compound of quadroplexes I used to live in(shaped thusly: |_|- I'm at the top) and seeing a stereotypical farmer, with overalls, a straw hat, everything, using a hoe in the yard of one of the houses. It's nighttime and as I'm watching the farmer, the sun comes up, but it's not the sun- it's Superman from the waist up with his hands on his hips, staring off into the distance. I swear to god, I had this dream when I was 5 every night for a month. I've had many more dreams just as weird if not weirder. I usually realize I'm dreaming, although I rarely do anything about it (I have woken myself up several times, with a little help from something I learned in Loony Tunes).

I've had weirder than that ballroom dream, but yeah. . . my dreams are very strange in a subtle, prolonged type way.  They're often quite epic.

One of the coolest dream sequences I ever remember having. . . okay, picture a parking lot. . . it's mostly full, the regular variety of cars.  Now picture it again, except vertical, like a cliffside.  All the cars are on, everything is exactly the same, except it's vertical.  I fell down a vertical parking lot in a dream once, smashing into cars and bouncing off on the way down. . . that was an awesome dream

I once dreat I was walking through the woods with my sister and another girl I knew, along with a few dozen more people. It's in the early evening and we all have lanterns we're carrying. When we get to the end of the forest, suddenly everyone except my sister, the girl, and me are left, and we're in a suburban backyard. We get up to the back porch and decide we should vacate the premises before the owners of the house find out we're trespassing. The girl and my sister go left to go out the gate. For some reason, I go right and attempt to climb over the wooden fence. When I got to the top, the lady who owned the house came out holding an ax and looking REALLY mad. I asked her if she was going to kill me and she said she was. It was at that point I remembered an episode of Loony Tunes where Bugs Bunny dreams he's in Camelot and hits himself on the head with an apple to wake himself up. I figure it was worth a shot, so I banged my head as hard as I could against the fence and lo! and behold! I woke up.

Most of my dreams aren't so concise, though, so I wouldn't be able to explain many more- my dreams have a tendency to be very complex and to blend into one another.

Little sounds at night freak me out a bit, if it's really dark.  Sometimes headlights in the window scare me, I get the feeling I'm being watched somehow.  Other than that, I can't really think of anything - I actually love spiders (well, at least if they're not ON me.. eek) and love looking at their handiwork (kill them flies!)

I don't dream much anymore, but when I do I sometimes figure out it's a dream.  Sometomes I wake myself up, but most of the times I do really dangerous stuff cause it's only a dream.

Like one time, I was inside a huge wooden playgroud looking for a lost box of cheerios with about 30 other people.  I found them, but was captured and sent into battl with Ganondorf and a few random people on horses.  So instead of waking myself up, I run as fast as I can into Ganondorf and jump on his head.  The I woke up.  I swear.

I often have dreams over and over again, but a little different each time.  I'd tell you some weird ones if I didn't have so much homework. :\

About the timid thing.  I don't like talking to store clerks, or any strangers for that matter.

THAT'S IT!!!  My phobia!  The phone!  I absolutley DREAD having to talk on the phone.  I avoid it as often as possible.  I never call anywhere, or call ahead to see if a store has a videogame in stock or something.  I HATE THE TELEPHONE.

I'm the same way, Hostile. I get really nervous when I have to call Electronics Boutique or Wal-Mart or something, but once I actually do it, I'm fine.

I hate going to bed after watching a scary movie.

I saw The Others, and when i went to bed, i would hear the leaves rustling outside, and my wardrobe door just inching open with a 'creeeeek' sound. Scared sh*tless I was.
But then last year, I saw The Ring.
OMG!
I came out of the cinema with my friends at 12am (we were in the city, so it wasn't scary), and when i got home, i saw the TV and my skin just burst out goosebumps. I ran to my room and went to bed. And this was last year!
The really really crap thing is that my sister has long black hair, so if she wears a nightgown, all she needs to do is pull it all forward to cover her face and come toward me when i least expect it and I'll yelp. I downloaded that 'video', and i swear to god the phone rang straight afterwards. Freaked, i was!

Scary movies just make me....scared.......
But i wanna rent The Exorcist though.
And Scary Movie 3 looks hella funny.

Meningitis: This disease has been a problem in my country for a few years now, so the ministry of health decided to start an education program. By this they mean educating the public just enough that all information sounds contradictory, and reminding everyone that the symptoms are very similar to many common diseases and that most doctors will only deal with one case in their lifetime. Coupled with heavy media coverage of cases where the disease was misdiagnosed and the victim died, this had a rather negative effect on my mental health. Normally I wouldn't freak out about something like this, but I've had several friends who've had it, and the education program is like propaganda. Now there are a whole lot of people who are really scared they'll catch the disease and die. More people die of the flu than meningitis here and the education program really annoys me.
