Welcome to Gaia! ::

I do prefer closed spaces- I get very nervous in extremely large rooms. But that's because extremely large ANYTHING freaks me out. Whales, giant squid, elephants, outer space, the ocean, enormous buildings (not just like, tall, tall and wide. like stadiums, if i had to stand right next to one.) etc. The ocean and sea creatures go double, because the ocean itself just freaks me out. I can stand and look at it, sure, but I'll be damned if you could ever get me on a cruise ship. I'm terrified of not being on land. And, I'm terrified of being underground. I can do basements but the mere thought of caves EXISTING gives me the heebiejeebies. D:

Other than that I just get very nervous around practical things. Fire, knives, like a lot of people have mentioned. I just always envision one of those accidents no one excepts to happen, happening, y'know? And I'm very much afraid of simple but unpleasant problems like a flat tire, running out of gas, or otherwise being stranded in the middle of nowhere- particularly without a cellphone. crying ; ahhhhhhhh D:

aaaand lastly.
I hate fireworks.
I HATE them.
I have a lazy eye, which means I have no depth perception. So unless I'm like, watching the fireworks over trees or something, so I have a visual cue that they're far away.. it looks like they are RIGHT over my head and going to fall on me and burn me to bits. crying ;

I can handle heights better now than when I was younger, but they still freak me out.

As for the whole open/enclosed space...I'd take either, really. If I'd been watching a scary movie or had another reason to be afraid, I'd probably feel a bit safer in an enclosed space, but I like wide open plains and shtuff where you can just see for miles and miles. 'Specially at night when there's tons of stars. Stargazing = awesome.



Ladybugs scare me. As do spiders. I will CRY if there's a spider bigger than my pinky fingernail anywhere near my bed, and if there's anyone else awake I'll make them kill it. If not...it seriously takes me about an hour to work up the courage to go smash it.
I KNOW I'm like fifty zillion times bigger than it. I KNOW it's probably just as afraid of me as I am of it, or whatever crap people say.
BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK VERY SCARED TO ME.


My biggest fear is being alone. Not entirely alone, although that freaks me out too - just being by myself in a crowd of people and not knowing anyone at all. I think that's why I disliked the city so much...I'm so used to recognizing pretty much everyone I see when I'm walking around town, and I don't think I'd be able to do that in a big city.
...I mean, I know that's going to be rare outside of little towns like this, but still. I need at least one person around that I know.

And, for the record, The Shining is one of the scariest novels EVER. IT as well. Despite that, I read Stephen King with a passion xd

The Stand was terrific, but didn't really scare me...

i am scared of navel oranges, because the "navel" part of it is an abomination. look at that goddamn thing. how can that not make your skin crawl right around your house? uuurrrghhhh grossitating.

i am also scared of mold. not just scared of eating it, but way more scared of TOUCHING it. i even feel uncomfortable touching containers with mold in them. i don't know if this stems from a fear of food poisoning or what, and yes i'm scared of that, but that makes sense since i have had more than one long and horrible bout of food-based illness.

and i used to be way more scared of windows in the dark. you know, like when you're inside, and you look out the window, and it's all black out there? i was sure someone's head would appear in it - a horrible face. i'm getting over that, but they still make me uncomfortable and i don't love to look at them, especially when i'm alone.

Funny. Reading Snopes usually reassures me. whee

You're welcome

Okay, the Ronald McDonald one was funny.


But the others were a tad bit freaky. The last one moreso than the others.
And I totally thought they were going to be ladybugs and I was going to kill you.


go-go chee: I know what you mean about mirrors. gonk Every so often I start thinking about how strange it'd be to look in a mirror and see someone behind me, or not see my own reflection, or something lkike that...and then I can't look in a mirror for forever.
