    i watched a documentary recently... thats all.. just wanted to tell you all that...

    no, it was about chimp colonies in Borneo or Chad or somewhere and they indulge in cannibalism... it was quite gruesome actually.. i mean who eats cold chimp... they didnt even cook it or anything... neanderthals.

    ok, well not crazy as in your crazy, i just cant comprehend why somebody would be scared of a chimp, especially one in a suit or any other kind of human clothing.

    but if we were all the same the world would be a very dull place wouldnt it?


    I hate chimps, I find them scary... really scary. They're so human like, they don't look cute in suits (polyester or otherwise) they don't look cute skateboarding, they belong in the jungle, hunting and eating each other! (see, they're cannibals too, NEVER good) why can't you all see my fear?! they're gonna take over the world, have you never seen planet of the apes?! I watched that as a child.... It scared the life out of me.

    Actually... that could be a reason for my fear....

    Oh this is like therapy!!

    Everytime I fly by an airport and see a plane taking off, I fear that it is going to get shot down by one of those missles that is launched by a terrorist. Every single time. I get paralyzed with fear.

    Dragonflies.

    "Normal" flies, spiders etc - no problem.
    Dragonflies - completly freakes me out.

    I'm not afraid of any other animals or bugs, but dragonflies; they're just scary.

    I think a fear of chimps is totally rational because they can fuck you up. I read a story about a guy who, along with his wife, had raised a chimp but they couldn't take care of it anymore so they gave it to a rescue organization. They would visit the chimp every now and then. But one day some other chimps escaped from their pen and attacked the guy and I believe he died. I remember reading they messed him up big time. Chimps are very strong, much stronger than the average human. I also heard Penn Jillet talking about how you can't have chimps in the same room as little people because they will attack them. They see the little people as equalling them in stature and therefor a threat to their dominance. I don't know how much truth their is to that but he said it was common knowledge within the carnie/circus community.

    I wouldn't say these are irrational because they are ultimately fears based off a fear of pain and death but they are fears that my husband likes to mock me for:

    My fear is that a mentally ill psychotic person is going to come out of the woods and kill me. I especially become afraid of this when driving on back woods roads with lots of curves. I keep waiting for some guy to walk out of the woods and in to the road in front of me with an axe. I think I watched too many scary movies as a child. I am also terrified of ghosts (which is probably an actual irrational fear as they pose no known threat to me and very well may not be real).

    I also will not walk over grates in the sidewalk. I am terrified they will collapse and I will fall in.

    i dont know why, but that is one of the funniest things i have ever read.

    right now...i dont even know what my irrational fears are.
  • FEAR = I know your all going to think I'm crazy or a complete bullshitter, BUT my girlfriend and I ran into Ed when he was in Toronto for the premier of Body of War. We were walking down Avenue Rd. right in front of the Four Seasons we were in Toronto to see the premier because my amazing sister got us tickets. I saw Ed walking towards us and I was a complete "deer in the headlights", I was really cool and said "nice to see you back in Toronto Ed", and he probably only heard "Ed" and kept walking down the street. My friend who never saw him was thinking "who is she talking too?" by that time he was going down the street and then I grabbed her arm and said there's Eddie...we started walking fast behind thinking lets at least get a pic of him from behind. Ed stopped to light a smoke and we caught up to him. So there we are standing there like a couple of Canadian Deer's with a camera....my mate says do you mind can we take your picture....and I am just standing there literally stunned....Ed hesitated for a moment and said would you like to get in the picture and immediately I put my arm around him and my friend took the pic (with her new camera got her in the shot and none of me - I don't have the proof you will just have to trust me) Ed said did you get it? and we were like droollllllll yeah.. and I said see you at the premier tonight and he said oh your going...I lost my mind. I had rehearsed so many things I was going to say to him and lost it. I don't know what's worse hoping for the meeting or having the meeting and thinking afterwards of all of the things I wanted to say. The opportunity of being at the premier of seeing such a powerful film with Phil Donahue coming out and talking and then Ed coming out and playing was unbelievable. We were third row from the front. That was more of a fear for me than 10,000 monkeys any day. And I can't remember if we said thank you so here's a big THANK YOU ED! Not sure why I'm posting this here just didn't want to post it on the porch..
    Peace,

  • the dark :(
    yes I'm 27 and afraid of the dark.....i keep thinking of that scene in silence of the lambs when she walks into the room in the dark and she doesn't know he's right there. Really it freaks me out....that and seeing a ghost...I don't ever want to see a ghost. Pretty irrational huh?!

    I have a fear of Michael Barrymore.
    Seriously
    When he was on celebrity big brother I could't turn on the TV in case it showed his face.
    The shape of his head makes me wanna puke! *shudder*

    I'm terrified of eels. I don't know why. I just am.


    Drowning. I don't know why; it just freaks me out. Probably because I imagine it as I would know I was and still not be able to help myself.

    You do realize the Vampire would just pull the blankets down away from your neck while you are sleeping right?

    Have you ever seen one of those wildlife shows about herd animals, almost everywhere in the world, and a sort of botfly that gets in through the nose then burrows itself into the victims brain, lays its eggs, etc..?

    That's my irrational fear.

    I also fear that one day I will lose any and all humaneness and see us as we really are then bury somebody alive by shackling them to a wall, then slowly cementing them in brick by brick...
    just like that Edgar Allen Poe story.

    riding a bike!? i used to ride them all the time as a kid, but i convinced myself of this crazyness in college...that if i ride my bike along the side of the road (not the sidewalk) the wheel of the bike would get caught in a drainage opening, i would then fall over, and a car would run over my head!!?

    completely irrational, madness that i concocted because i didn't want to ride my bike to class.
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    I have this crazy fear of ticks. I never had one on me, but a few years ago I was at a friend's house and her dog came in from outside. There was a beetle on the dog (or so I thought) so I flicked it off and stepped on it. Now this thing was freakin huge, like the size of a peanut m&m. Anyway, when I crushed it, it was like I stepped on a ketchup packet (when the ketchup goes shooting out all over the floor).

    Okay, I gotta stop now. I'm cringing at the thought of one of those nasty little fuckers buried in my skin sucking my blood. :(

    Waking up one day with the dick of an 8 month old.

    That would be quite disappointing.

    To be clear, I wake up as a 33 year old man and my dick is the size of an 8 month old baby's.

    I am not waking up next to a nude 8 month old baby.

    Thanks for pointing that out, Ms. Sickness;)
