| Thirteen Things that Scare tiggerprr
1. Scary Movies. Now I realize this is a “gimme” but I am unusually afraid of scary movies. I can’t hardly even watch the previews that have been dumbed down for all audiences.
2. Vampires. I used to actually pull my covers up over my neck really tightly when I was little. I still do sometimes if I spook myself. Strangely, I am fascinated by them too and despite my fear of scary movies, I can hardly resist vampire movies. Go figure.
3. People scare me. Not in a weird anti-social way. But when you read about the crap that peoople do to eachother, like the school incident in Colorado yesterday, and to poor helpless animals, it’s hard to believe that we’re the highest beings sometimes.
4. Ashlyn’s driving. She’s 16 and I’ve had recurring nightmares of dying in a car wreck since I was little. Enough said.
5. Roller Coasters. My Dad made me go on the Texas Cyclone at Astroworld in Houston with him when I was 18. He heard his teenager yell “F***!” for the first time, and then he apologized for making me go. I haven’t been on one since.
6. That horrible “chuchuchu” noise that always comes on when Jason is about to appear in a Friday the 13th movie. That will ALWAYS unnerve me. My realtor did it when we were leaving a house we were looking at that was in a wooded area. I would have smacked him, but I was busy running back to the truck. I am getting the willies just writing about it.
7. Bugs. Ewwww.
8. Snakes. Double ewww. But damn, I loved Snakes on a Plane. Just so long as it never happens IRL.
9. Being alone and lonely. Not in the “I can never be alone” way, but in the “I don’t want to die alone with just my 90 cats” sort of way. But I think deep down everyone is afraid of that.
10. World Leaders. It seems like more and more the people running the planet don’t have the rest of us in mind when they make their decisions.
11. Clowns.
12. Sharks. My dad took me to see Jaws when it was first in the theatres. (I was in 1st grade, what WAS he thinking?) I have been in the ocean once since then and promptly got out because I couldn’t get over the feeling of dread. How ironic that I moved to Myrtle Beach huh?
13. Rocking chairs. I have a bad spine! I always feel like when I sit in one, that it’s going to catapult me out and injure me. Anyone who’s spent 5 weeks in bedrest after spinal surgery should understand this one. Or am I just nuts?

#10 is why everyone should belong to Meezers for Total World Domination. We aren’t scary…

But….if the world belongs to youzers…what will I do with this world map I have with all the little red pushpins sticking out of it?

I can’t watch scary movies at all. I’m wih you on people…between the sickos and the politicians/world leaders, we’re in a huge, scary mess.

Whats up with clowns? I have met many people that have a huge fear of clowns
September 28th, 2006 at 3:56 pm
They’re just…creepy.

We all have our fears.
Happy TT!

That is some scary stuff there! A great list!!
September 28th, 2006 at 5:34 pm
wow, from 7-12, we are really really in agreement!
September 28th, 2006 at 6:54 pm
Wow, come to think of it, rocking chairs are pretty freaky.
Great TT!

Like your list, very interesting. I don’t like vampires either. My dad read to me “salem’s lot” when I was 4 or 5…I had nightmares for a few weeks. What was he thinking?! I guess he must have edited it while he was reading, some..but it still scared me. At least he didn’t take me to see the movie!
I don’t like jaws either…
happy TT!

#2, yup! I watched creature features with my older brother late at night, and even though they aways scared the crud out of me I couldn’t help but watch. I slept with a crucifix under my pillow, for Pete’s sake!
#13 I saw Jaws 8 times one summer on HBO when I was like 10. I have been scared ___-less since then of sharks, and have had horrible nightmares about them. I even refused to go into an underwater tube in Monterey CA to view sharks, at the aquarium because of one of the Jaws movies, lol.

So. Terrified. Of. Snakes. (shudder!)

I HATE scary movies and bugs. BUT I do love rollercoasters. I’m more of a thrill-seeker, but not one to be jumped up on or grossed out…

You’ll have a lot of company on these. I won’t even get on a roller coaster or see a scary movie.
Thanks for visiting my TT.
Now if you block and copy all the names that registered, and add them to the bottom of your blog entry, they won’t disappear the next time you use Mr. Linky which wastes everyone’s effort to come here. It’s easy.

You’ll be relieved to know that my Mr. Linky Links don’t dissapear so your efforts weren’t wasted.
