The 10 day meme - Day 4: Seven fears/phobias
So I missed posting yesterday (I was out to dinner friends) and the day before (came home from work late and was exhausted. blurgh) But I'm back and picking up where I left off.
I have to admit, I don't have a lot of phobias, but I do have my share of fears. So...
1. My one big phobia is cockroaches. If one ever touched me, I swear, I would just keel over and die. For those of you who have read 1984, just substitute roaches for rats and I would sell out also.
2. My big fear is, of course, something bad happening to my kids. Every parent's fear truthfully. I've been lucky so far in that nothing too terrible has befallen them although there's been a few close calls. (Aaron almost got run over by a truck while biking, which I actually posted about.)
3. Extending number 2, I also worry about my family and friends. Artist sister literally has had some form of surgery for 10 years in a row. It would be nice if her health miraculously improved. And there are a number of you right here on LJ that I worry about. You probably know who you are.
4. I worry about the direction this country is moving in. It seems that so many people have absolutely no compassion for those less fortunate.
5. I worry about the environment and what kid of world we're leaving for our children. Climate change is a real danger, but most of the politicians in this country have a head in the sand policy.
6. I wouldn't say I actually worry about it, but I do wonder if I'll still be around in 20 years. Hopefully yes. And more importantly, if I am around that I'll be healthy.
7. My final fear - that I hit one of the damn deer that run around here. That is a definite and real fear.
