*feels dumb*

I just got the significence to your name. CONEY a RABBIT!

Evolution smevolution, I'm an agnostic.

Well I was conflicted, I love the water, and fear death by it. I've been held under SO many times and figure I'm gunna die, but never did. It's all those prayers "I'll never swear again, I'll never spit on whats-her-face again, I'll never flash again, I'll never go to that acursed ENTMOOT AGAIN!"

Sometimes at night, I just get this feeling that if I close my eyes, I will never open them again...

Sometimes when I'm at the beach, I remember this story I read about someone who got sucked into an undertow and I feel like, if I set foot in that water, I'm gonna get pulled out and drown. Drowning is one of my biggest fears. In pools, in lakes, in oceans. Several times, when my friend and I were playing in the big waves of a big lake, I got pulled under, and after many cycles of full summer-saults, slamming into the bottom and getting pushed under more waves, I resurfaced. I was vomiting water and screaming and crying. My friend kept asking, "What's wrong?", because normally I can take anything with out a tear. But while under the water, I suddenly thought, what if this is it? What if Kelly or I get pulled out and we DIE? We'd never be found!! The water would pulls us under until we lost the strength to live. The shore might still be in sight, taunting us! Now I won't swim in lakes unless someone else is also in the water.

Now you have me scared too Elenka! That sounds really scary! (cool avatar btw!) I won't go anywhere unless one of my friends comes with me! I am really afraid to go to camp by my self, mainly because I have to go on a plane to get there and I HATE flying alone!

Sorry I scared you. But I really think it's something we should consider when we're about to swim in the deeps. Thank you about the avatar. Took me awhile to find it but i really like it!!

heres one thing that really disturbed me........
i come home after school one afternoon a couple months ago, and MY KITCHEN WAS GONE! yeah. the construction worker tore it out and the kitchen cabinets were in the dumpster outside. pretty scary.

now their ripping up one of the bathrooms tomorrow........

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-14-2003, 02:05 AM

I was just thinking earlier, and I remembered a phobia I used to have.

Bears. I used to be positively terrified of bears. Hearing stuff like about a bear ripping someone's whole face off, stories about bears slowly tearing people apart piece by piece while still alive, or of course just plain eating them alive...and then of course stuff about charging bears being able to keep charging for like 100 yards after getting shot right in the brain. It was so bad I was positively terrified to be in areas near woodlands when I wasn't in the sight of someone else. And there weren't even any bears in our area. Fortunately, haven't been afflicted by that fear for a while.

*eyes window nervously*

Elvellyn · 03-14-2003, 12:36 PM

I'm afraid of spider crickets. *shudder*

BTW I'm at school now and their computers are much faster.

Linaewen · 03-16-2003, 07:33 AM

I'm not really scared the typical things that people are scared of, like spiders or injections. i'm scared of falling though, which is different to a phobia of heights- i don't mind going up, i'm just terrified i'm going to fall down and smash myself on the ground. Apart from that, i think that's it.

support_your_local_elf · 03-16-2003, 12:55 PM

Linaewen, I'm really afraid of falling too. I'm also afraid of heights, but the not the usual stuff like snakes and spiders ( I LOVE arachnids and reptiles!) I'm kinda afraid of public speaking, but mostly I'm afraid of myself and what one human being can do (isn't that weird?) and most forms of government.

eowyngirl14 · 03-16-2003, 02:06 PM

very very scared of spiders and snakes! please don't get me started on them!

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-16-2003, 03:03 PM

I like snakes and spiders a lot too!

Snakes-and-spiders!

eowyngirl14 · 03-16-2003, 03:50 PM

*shudder* i hate snakes and spiders

support_your_local_elf · 03-16-2003, 05:20 PM

Thanks Gwaimir Windgen. Now I don't feel so weird for enjoying handling snakes

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-16-2003, 05:30 PM

support_your_local_elf · 03-16-2003, 05:33 PM
