I've watched too many episodes of Haunted History, and when I'm going to sleep I don't like to look into the dark because I'm afraid I'll see a ghost or something. I almost don't even want to say anything about it though because I feel like I'm too old to still have a fear like that. I just have this thing about ghosts and supernatural stuff. I remember saying once, years ago, that I'd rather run across a balrog than a ghost.

Lotesse · 07-18-2005, 03:50 PM

Well, ghosts exist, but they're nothing to be afraid of because most of them can't affect anything in the material world, and additionally most of them are benign anyway. They don't "feel" like harming anyone or anything. This is what I think, anyway.

Lotesse · 07-18-2005, 03:52 PM

Balrogs are f--ing terrifying. I'll take a ghost over a Balrog any day.

flupke · 07-18-2005, 03:54 PM

Ghosts are more scary then balrogs but balrogs can do more harm

The only thing I'm afraid of is that I won't die soon enough

Lotesse · 07-18-2005, 03:56 PM

How can you be afraid of not dying soon enough? Expliquez-vous, s'il vous plait because I cannot understand such a fear. Of growing old? Of being stuck on a respirator? Please explain...

Neither ghosts nor balrogs have anything on Tubgirl. Just saying.

Exactly.

Lotesse · 07-18-2005, 04:02 PM

Anduril, WHAT - IS - TUBGIRL?? I'm not scared; tell me!

katya · 07-18-2005, 04:02 PM

If you're not scared, you should be.

Ooh, you've seen Tubgirl. That's very adventurous. I might like you.

flupke · 07-18-2005, 04:08 PM

not dying soon enough is something like Below-the-neck paralysis, only then, all your friends died, tyou see your children dying,etc...

Lotesse · 07-18-2005, 04:12 PM

well, that seems frightening enough, but it's all part of life's rich pageant, no? Or, as some sarcastics would say, "life sucks and then you die". Meh.

katya · 07-18-2005, 04:12 PM

Yeah, same reasons why I wouldn't like to live forever. That would suck. I don't share that fear though.

Haha. Yeah, I have witnessed this horror. Don't remind me. ^^;

flupke · 07-18-2005, 04:17 PM

It's just, I have a thing with dying, every time I see a bridge something tells me to jump down from it, don't know why that is,... very strange.
Heh a bridge
*jumps up and heads for the bridge*

Lotesse · 07-18-2005, 04:19 PM

Jesus, calm down, flupke. Relax. Think happy thoughts,

find a happy place...

flupke · 07-18-2005, 04:23 PM

come's back and thinks of the tavern

anyway, enjoy your fears, I'm off

Lotesse · 07-18-2005, 04:34 PM

Well, found tubgirl, big deal. How is that fearsome or scary? Just creatively disgusting, is all. I always find it amusing how easily people are "shocked" about stuff.
