oops well no one said these had to be in a row...
Day 1 - Ten random facts about yourself
Day 2 - Nine things you do everyday
Day 3 - Eight things that annoy you
Day 4 - Seven fears/phobias
Day 5 - Six songs that you’re addicted to
Day 6 - Five things you can’t live without
Day 7 - Four memories you won’t forget
Day 8 - Three words you can’t go a day without
Day 9 - Two things you wish you could do
Day 10 - One person you can trust
1. Well, the big one is falling. It's not technically a fear of heights because I don't have a problem being in high places. I just have this fear I'm going to tumble off it. Therefore balconies are never a thing. Nor are floor to ceiling windows more than a few feet off the ground. I've been up in the Arch twice--I stood in the very center both times. Glass elevators are the devil's invention. Kissing the Blarney Stone? Yeah, no. (In fact my mom jokes that she still has the imprint of my claws in her arm from just going down the uneven stone spiral staircase.) I also have problems with open stairs unless there are just like the five from my garage to basement. I could go on and on.
2. Doing anything I've never done before. The old saw 'familiarity breeds contempt' is so very not true for me. I'm only comfortable doing the same thing, being in familiar places etc. This is not to say I can't do something new, but I worry about it a lot. This led to refusing to ride the London Tube until I was an adult (and yet I took a bus across Dublin with a friend to the zoo all by ourselves at age ten). The thought of missing a flight and having to deal with it is terrifying (and yet I've done it). It's a weird phobia because I've overcome it many times.
3. Losing my parents. It's not something I think about.
4. Thunderstorms with high winds. Though maybe not as much anymore now that the falling apart trees are gone from my yard and won't crash through my roof. I still don't like the noise, though. I get panicky.
5. Turbulence. And take offs and landings. Once I'm in the air, I'm fine (unless it's bumpy) but I have to grit my teeth during take offs and landings. Something along the lines of we shouldn't be doing this. When it's bumpy I figure god doesn't want us up there.
6. Doing anything wrong. I always want to be perfect.
7. Driving on the highway. Again, this is something I have done many times but I don't think I'll ever get over the fear and the white-knuckling, especially when people are merging into my lane all the time. I much prefer three lanes on each side where I can just park myself in the middle. I also don't like speed. Really, anything over 65 makes me very frightened (but only when I'm driving).
Saturday's happy wasn't KU winning (because we didn't) or Kentucky losing (because they didn't). I got nearly all my next big bang edited so that was good, especially since it doesn't post until the 21st.
Sunday's happy was that I started watching Hindsight on VH1 and I'm really liking it. I've watched the first three eps. Also watched some Hawaii 5-0s, CSIs, the rest of Resurrection (is that complete?) and a few other things, being very lazy after church.
Today's happy certainly wasn't the weather. I knew the 60s from the weekend were gone, but I thought it would be 50 or so and only wore a corduroy jacket. Nope it was like 42 today. Brrrrrrrr Today's kind of lame happy was that my pile of files waiting for documents to be signed by the judges so I can cart them over to the sheriff is gone! I'm waiting for nothing at the moment. It's a miracle.
Only four more days till three day weekend, except it's a busy weekend and not one I can just hole up in my house for. On Saturday we have a memorial service where the choir is singing and then Sunday is the Love Service--the choir is singing, I'm singing a solo maybe, and I'm also the Worship Associate. Hopefully dad and I can go see that Jupiter movie.
