(no subject)
Today in English class we were talking about things that we're scared of. I never like when we have to talk about that, because I can never think of anything, ever. There's not one thing that I can think of that truly scares me. I don't have phobias. I don't know why, and I don't know if it's good or bad, but it's true. I've always thought that fear is a useless obstacle that just gets in your way, something to overcome. You're afraid of spiders? Get a pet tarantula. Afraid of heights? Go to the top of the John Hancock building, or Sear's Tower. I've been scared, but I'm not afraid, they're two very different things. I usually end up making something up, something that I know would make other people afraid. There are things I don't want to happen to me, but I'm not afraid of them.
Take death, for example. I'm perfectly comfortable with it. It's natural, and because of my belief of the afterlife (not that of most Catholics) I'm not afraid of mine or other's deaths. I don't think I even believe in Heaven and Hell anymore. Interesting eh?
Would it even be appropriate for me to say the only thing I fear is fear itself? I'm not sure really, I don't think so?

On another note, I'm really excited that LJ is letting us have six usericons now!
