Weekly Wrap-Up- Fears & Phobias
1. What simple things scare you? Why? Snakes and birds freak me out, oh, and eels. I don't know why but I just find them creepy.
2. Do you have any phobias? If so, what? No major phobias, although I do tend to get clausterphobic in busy stores, when there's a frenzy in the air...ack.
3. What is your earliest memory of being afraid? How are the same things scare you? When I was little I used to think there were monsters under my bed. I think that's the first memory. Although I eventually realized that it was just me hearing my heartbeat- I used to lay my head on my arm or hand and the sound made me think there were monsters climbing stairs under my bed to reach me. I was so silly.
4. What is the scariest movie you've ever seen? Why? Is it still scary to you now? Why or why not? Most movies doen't scare me too much although I remember being afraid of Twilight Zone the Movie when I first saw it. I was maybe 6 or 7 and the image of the sister without a mouth freaked me out. But it doesn't scare me any more.
5. What is the scariest nightmare you've ever had? What happened? Is it still scary to you? Why or why not? I think it had to be after 9/11- I had a dream of an airplane exploding above my head and body parts raining down on me. I think the worst part of that dream was that it felt so real. I felt cold and it was really creepy.

Past, Present, Future
PAST - So tell us, did you get too much sunshine as a kid? Or not enough? I got a lot as a kid. We used to go the beach all the time, and be outside generally any chance we got.
PRESENT - Being someone with a mild case of seasonal depression, I look forward to the return of sunshine to the world. Being someone who also loves living in a lively green part of the world, I respect and even enjoy the various kinds of rain we receive. Are you a rain or shine person? Shine.
FUTURE - You're appointed by the Joint Chiefs the task of coming up with a better term than "Sunshine Units" to describe nuclear radiation doses. Give it your best shot, Colonel. What a different type of question! I guess I'd suggest "death rays".
