Writer's Block: Phobias
I am seriously terrified of two things. 1. Open or deep water. More deep than open. Just the idea of water going for miles and miles below is just terrifying. I don't know if it's the sharks and whales and other large things that I don't like the idea of swimming with. Or maybe it's the being able to swim so far down that you wouldn't be able to come back up. I don't know but I do know that the movie Open Water scared the crap out of me. Oh and Shamu's tank at Sea World, yeah that's too deep and it scares me to see his show. =(
2. The dark. I kid you not, I can't stand the dark. When I turn the lights off at night when I get in bed, I jump onto my bed so nothing can grab my ankles. Obviously I know there's nothing there to get me but it scares me anyway. Or when I lived at home, I'd have to run up the steps because I thought something or someone was going to get me.
Neither of these fears have that large of an impact on my life. Joseph scuba dives and he would lovelovelove for me to go with him but I'm not allowed to because I have asthma. I apparently can't breathe the compressed air or something like that. I've never been more thankful to have asthma in my entire life. Otherwise he'd be bugging me all the time to get certified and go with him.
And as for the dark, I just turn on the tv to give myself some light. Then once I'm actually in bed, I turn it off.
It's silly, I know. But I just can't help it. =(
