And that's supposed to make me not worry, how? lol Yeah, I'm going back to school in less than 12 hours. Crazy stuff. I'm scared outta my mind; I just KNOW I'm going to forget something. Just for phun "What if I'm not in any of my friends' classes?" Not a problem. It's a tiny school, lol. And I know quite a few people. "What if I get stuck with the mean teacher who assigns way too much homework?" lol I'm in catholic school. they're required to assign homework every day. only a few really mean ones. "What if I never figure out how to open my locker?" lol, I might lose my lock, or key, there's no problem "What if I get lost or walk into the wrong classroom?" I did this so many times last year.. I got the place down now though. ^-^ "What if I come to school wearing something from LAST year's Back To School fashion line? (okay, maybe not )" Uniforms, lol. Not that it would matter in an all-dude highschool. XD Why did I answer all those? Well it makes me less scared. XD ..now off I go to find whatever it is I lost(aside from my mind)...

I never did understand the fear of spiders and other bugs that so any people possess, despite being someone who is scared of them as well. I mean, come on. They’re icky. I once lived in Makakilo Cliffs, which is positioned appropriately on the side of a mountain. I had the fortune of living in one of the homes at the very edge of the cliff before a huge drop into a wasteland of a gulch. As you can imagine, there are some mighty large critters about ion the gulch. One, a spider larger then my hand, which is fairly large, got into out house. Thankfully, I was not the first one to spot it, because if I was, I would have screamed, and I don’t like it when I scream, because I sound funny. More so are things like maggots. I’ve had an experience previously with maggots and a bowl of cereal, which is why that particular pest came to mind...
What am I scared of? Well, many things. For starters, shiny cars. I’m always afraid that whoever is driving me will be blinded by those needlessly buffed monsters and we’ll crash. Seriously, if any of those people spared a thought, they’d let their cars get grimy and dull, because I myself have been injured several times because of them. Another thing I harbor a fear for is aircrafts of any sort, but mostly commercial ones. I mostly fly when I’m on research excursions for my schooling, and it is not pretty. I sit by the window, where I’m constantly worried that it will pop out and that I’ll be sucked out. Then there are terrorist attacks, wing ruptures, and collisions with other aircrafts. Perhaps these are unfounded fears, but fears nonetheless. Then there are the more basic situations that always make me on edge, such as being stuck sitting next to some large man who enjoys listening to loud country music while breathing very loudly (that’s a little specific, but you get the general idea), the fact that I can never get to sleep due to the turbulence and noise, which only causes me to become more nervous because then I know that by the time we land and I have to think, I’ll be too tired to do anything. And I never trust pilots. How can anyone pilot through a 15-hour flight without making a mistake? What if the guy is drunk or falls asleep? There was this particular time when the pilot was playing a guessing game with the passengers over the intercom. Scared me silly. Those people don’t know how to keep people calm. The food doesn’t help either.
What else... Yes, the start of a new year of school is always a fear of mine. Will people laugh at my choice of attire? Will they not get my humor? Will they stomp me to death when it comes to the actual academic factor? The answer to all of those, of course, is yes. But I worry anyway. Not sure why.
Mosquitoes are creatures born from the fiery pits of hatred and despair. Aside from gravity, they are the single most loathsome things I can think of in this world. I don’t know how many you people have wherever you have chosen to take up residence, but we have a huge population of mosquitoes here, and we have been in constant war with them. We don’t believe in all of those pansy ideas of repellant, oh no. We don’t want to make them go away, we want them dead. Perhaps I don’t necessarily fear them, but it comes pretty dang close. I close all of my doors at night to prevent them from coming in, take all of the necessary procedures to stop them from biting, and I still wake covered in bites. When I’m laying down and suddenly hear the buzzing of a mosquito, I know it’s over. And if that’s not fear, then I don’t know what is. There was also another experience I had with the greatest monster of a mosquito I’ve ever seen. In fact, I’m now thinking that I should have saved it, because it may well have been in the running for some sort of record. I was laying down, and all of a sudden realized that there was a loud buzzing that seemed to be coming from all around me. By first impression was that is was some kind of cricket, but in the back of my mind, I knew that it was the sound of a mosquito. I couldn’t believe that there was any mosquito large enough to make such a sound until I looked around and saw it hanging near the door to my closet. Sure enough, a mosquito larger then my head was hovering in the air. I panicked, grabbed the nearest videogame guide I had, and crushed it against the wall. Call me a liar if you wish, because I am a liar most of the time, but I assure you that these events are true. I washed off the mosquito, and, quite satisfied with my kill, went back to my room. Should have taken a picture at least...
As for gravity, well... I just dislike it. It would be of great assistance to me if something didn’t fall and break every time I knock it over, which is very, very often.
I also fear jawbreakers. Aside from the intimidating name, I almost choked on one once. Twas not pleasant.
My greatest fear? What will be beyond death. I could go into that a bit, but my brain seems to be locked on that part about mosquitoes, because I could have sworn I just saw one...
I’m also afraid of all of those little dolls they let children play with these days. Look at the Cabbage Patch Kids. Barbie. Bratz. Utter garbage. Some say that it stimulates the imagination to play with them, but really, look at them. Do we want our children’s imaginations to look like those? I never did see the appeal in those things. Now, stuffed animals I like. In fact, I have a few myself. But those dolls... I actually had a nightmare about them once... There was one doll in particular. I only got a brief glance at it a while back, but it was insanely ugly. Huge head, puny body, a face worthy of a 1980s horror flick, and the most abysmal hairstyle and head shape that I’ve ever seen. I laughed myself silly at first, but now I don’t know what to think... It apparently didn’t sell well, because I only saw that commercial once.
I’ve got more, but I can’t think of them at the moment. Perhaps later.

20 PAGES?! Man, I really hope my Social Studies teacher treats us like kids again. He mainly makes us color, and stuff like that.

lol, my first day's done with. No homework really, since it was all explanations and junk, but all my teachers said there'd be an assignment on Monday, which is just wonderful. But yeah, I'm missing two books and paper. Hadta be something, right? I sometimes worry about what happens after death. I mean, no one can be sure, right? Actually don't answer that. but yeah. like, what if nothing happens? What if you just cease to be entirely. It's a very scary though, but yeah, I've always just figured whatever it is, I'll face it when it comes. I dunno, but for some strange reason, it's been weighing on my mind lately.

No, no. It was much, much worst. The eyes bore into you, and it looked as though it had been possessed by something evil and cat-like, yet slightly more... well... evil. Yes. It was years ago, so I can't remember exactly what it looked like, but it left an impression in me that I'll have a hard time forgetting.
Ah, and another thing I'm scared of. Parasites. I know I've already said mosquito, but moving to a more general field, parasites are definitely something worth fearing. They are one of the top causes of blood loss in the world, and simply the thought of a creature besides myself feeding off of food that I've gone through the trouble of partially digesting sickens me. Besides those that simply latch to your intestines and feed, there are a wide variety of other side effects to be feared. There is one parasite, for example, in eastern countries that thrive in the dirty waters of stagnant rivers and ponds. When ingested, it moves into the blood stream and grows. Once it is ready to reproduce, it pierces the skin near the ankle, which hurts a lot. People put their foot into water to help ease the pain, and it releases its eggs. Try to pull it out, and it releases a lethal toxin. There are also parasites that eat away at the brain and cause dilutions, not to mention the numerous parasites you have to worry about in various foods, unless they use pesticide. But then you have to worry about pesticide, although in retrospect, I suppose worrying about pesticide would be preferable to living in fear of parasites...
I also fear disease, for similar/obvious reasons. o.o

I am (like half the people who replied to this) scared of spiders,so i bought this electric flyswat off the internet somewhere, it electrocutes things you hit with it, and so, no spider has lasted more than a day in my house. Those things hurt! This one kid brought it to school one day and he put string on it and told me to get it off and when i touched the metal wire thingys it zapped me! IT HURT! Oh yeah... Im afraid of my brothers going psychotic (to late ) and people who look like they are gonna jump me, and ghosts, and.... uhhhh... being alone in a dark place..... and uhhhh....

You know what sacres me... Aliens!!! Greys mostly(for the non-UFO-geeks Greys are the classic short Aliens with big heads and big eyes with grey skin). I don't know but the thought of being Abducted scare the crap out of me. Imagine waking in the middle of the night and seeing a role of Aliens standing around your bed and just looking at you. Plus you can't move.
Funny thing is that I don't even believe in them(well to think that there is no life in any other planet in the whole universe is really stupid but I'm willing to bet it's not like the Greys) . Not one bit but I love to hear eerily similar stories of people being abducted. In almost all the stories the get picked up by short Aliens and taken to the operating room. Then the actual experiments are done by taller Aliens. It's funny cause some wake up with their cloths backwards. which is a funny mistake on the Aliens part.

Oh, c'mon guys. There's nothing to fear but fear itself.
And snakes. And maybe spiders. Dieing is kinda scary... oh, don't forget people with guns.

Nothing to fear but fear itself... That statement hold some truth, in a stupidly ironic way. In order to understand it though, you'd have to understand the nature of fear. Fear is... shall we say, uncertainty and discomfort caused by awareness of an external or internal force. But what happens when the awareness goes away? Can you be scared of something that, to your knowledge, isn't there? If you're excessively paranoid, perhaps, but typically, no. I seem to be seeing it a lot, so take fear of spiders for example. You may be scared of spiders, but are you constantly looking over you're shoulder lest there be one subtley creeping up behind you waiting for the chance to strike? If there're no spiders in a room, are you still afraid that there might be? Unless you're insane, no. Fear is non-existant when there is nothing, or rather, when you don't perceive anything to be afraid of. Thus, to be fearless is to be ignorant. Of course, ignorant or not, you can't live in fear. So where do you draw the line? Probably somewhere in the middle. All things in moderation. Don't let it keep you from ever getting anywhere, but don't walk into a situation blind. Seems like common sense, no? Still historically speaking, and even now, it amazes me how stupid people can be sometimes.
Yeah, this post was the result of me spending two hours on a paper that bored me to death..

What scares me? You know what really scares me? The fact that I just spent about a quarter of an hour trying to figure out how Dash Myoku was Dashe, Pitch was Dash Myoku, so forth and so on. I ruin these things with overconcern. I think the thought of criminals breaking into my house scares me. And also the idea of people who are too ignorant to listen to rational conversation. Like someone you couldn't reason with. The real problem there it's a bit more real than my third fear, which is probably superpowered zombies.
