Musings of a Loquacious Mind

I'm afraid of 25 out of 71 common fears

From a MySpace forward thingie....

IF you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling!

IF you get more than 20, you’re paranoid!

IF you get 10-20, then you are normal!

IF you get 10 or less, you’re fearless!

People who don’t have any are full of crap!

I Fear…

1. getting beat up
2. black people
3. + the dark - not so much of the dark, but what I don't know is in the dark
4. staying single forever
5. being a parent - although I sometimes fear failing at being a parent
6. giving birth - but after last time I fear the pregnancy part
7. + being myself in front of others
8. open spaces
9. closed spaces
10. + heights
11. + black cats - well, I'm mildly afraid of all cats I don't know;
    I'm not more afraid of them for being black
12. + dogs - truth be told, I'm basically afraid to some degree of all animals
13. + birds - animal, so... plus, have you ever been pooped on by a pigeon
    and not been able to speak enough of the language to get a napkin? yeah, not fear inducing like
    The Birds or The Dark Half or being in the Colonial Heights Wal*Mart parking lot, but still
14. + fish - there really needs to be a spectrum here;
    I'm not afraid of goldfish in a tank, but live (or dead, for that matter)
    ones in lakes and at the ocean? yeah
15. + spiders
16. + flowers or other plants - again, spectrum! checking this
    makes me look so mentally unsound
17. + being touched - not to Howie Mandel levels, but especially on my collarbone or wrist
18. fire
19. + deep water - not of its existence, just being in it
20. lakes
21. silk - that is so weird; who is afraid of silk? and yet I checked "flowers or other plants", so....
22. the ocean
23. + failure
24. + success - if I'm being completely honest...
25. thunder/lightning - I love them!
26. + frogs/toads
27. my boyfriends/girlfriends [sic][husband's] dad
28. boyfriends/girlfriends [sic][husband's] mom
29. + mice/rats - which made my 7th grade science
    fair project interesting, to say the least
30. + jumping from high places
31. snow
32. rain
33. wind
34. + crossing hanging bridges
35. death
36. heaven
37. being robbed
38. falling in love
39. clowns - but Keith is! ask him about his encounter at Arby's...
40. large crowds of people
41. men
42. women
43. + having great responsibilities - which is another reason I would be a terrible Spiderman
44. + doctors, including dentists - specifically, needles and giving blood- eek!
45. tornadoes

    in your room. And guess if I am afraid of bats....
63. bee stings
64. + not accomplishing my dreams/goals
65. + needles - does this mean I can uncheck doctors?
    I'm not afraid of sewing needles, though!
66. blood
67. + dinosaurs if they were alive - ok, (a) they're animals, and
    (b) who wouldn't be! Hello, Jurassic Park, anyone (book is worse than movie -

68. the welcome mat
69. high speeds
70. throwing up
71. falling in love - wasn't this already on here?
