So I try very hard to overcome my fears. There are many things in life I can't control but some things I can. I am afraid of deep dark water. I really don't see any cruises in my future. I often have dreams about being adrift in the Fort battle scene in the Pirates of The Caribbean RIDE at Disneyland. It's dark and I am usually in a small boat or box. I usually try to swim in the deep end of a pool to get over this fear, but it isn't working yet. Now one of the other fears I have is putting out a candle with my fingers. I have seen people extinguish candles often by snuffing the fire in their fingers. This idea totally freaks me out and I just don't think I will ever overcome this one. Now you may all be thinking, this is so stupid and trivial. Well it is, but I feel like stupid and trivial right now. Really isn't that what blogs are for? What small or big thing do you fear? Can you snuff a candle with your fingers?

i'm scared of the dark-like pitifully, run and jump into bed, scared.
and i'm terribly terribly afraid of mice. it makes me shiver to even write it!
we're excited to see you guys this weekend!!
the candle thing. You know that people lick their fingers first, right? The spit extinguishes the fire.
Big fear-being attacked in a parking lot. I also fear boats and deep ocean/lake water. I have a memory from my childhood of a youth beach trip that I tagged along with (my oldest siblings were youth and my parents were youth leaders. A couple of swimmers got caught in a rip current and the leaders formed a human chain out to bring them back in...but the undertow was so bad that a bunch of the leaders were pulled out and then swept into the current as well. Anyway, it freaked me out, and after that, I wasn't allowed to wade in past my knees for many years. Now, I've developed this fear of swimming in any water that I can't see the bottom of. I can handle any pool, no problem, and I'll stand in the ocean, but that's where I stop being comfortable. I did get in the lake this last year, and I feel like it's getting better, but I just don't know what's down there, waiting to suck me under.
I have like 100 other fears. I'm just full of anxiety. Next time you're feeling like a ninny, call me and I'll make you feel normal.
I am so with you on the cruise ship thing. Not going to happen. Ever.
I'm sacred of heights and big roller coaster rides. Leroy's afaird of the water. I can get him in the pool once a year and that's that!
Deep, dark water scares me too! I'm ok with boats and swimming pools...but the pirates ride would freak me out to be swimming in. We went on this family trip forever ago to the crater in midway, and i just sat in the hot tub thing cuz i couldn't handle the deep, darkness... I hate spiders, and i hate when its dark, and i come up from my basement and all the lights are off...so i just run up the stairs and slam the door.
