Do you have any irrational fears?

Now that the sun is beginning to rise I feel safe to blog about my irrational fears. Since I often blog in the dead of night, my fears of the dark lead my mind to this topic a lot.

Some of my fears include:

1) Opening a curtain to the outside only to find a dark figure standing RIGHT THERE looking in my face;

2) Walking by an open closet in the dark and someone jumps out at me;

3) Aliens. (Thanks to my parents for letting me watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind as a very small child, I will forever be interested in, and slightly afraid of, aliens. Then in high school I read Whitley Strieber's Communion & subsequent books...but I think he's full of crap. Anyhow, it's still possible that they're out there. I've had a couple of weird experiences too...)

4) Walking around alone in the house, entering a room to see someone leaving into an adjacent room. Sends chills down my spine;

5) Walking into the kitchen to see all the cupboards wide open after I'd just been in there a second ago when they were all closed. Or seeing all the dining room chairs stacked up when moments ago they were all in place under the table. Thanks to the movie Poltergeist which I also watched dozens of times as a very small child.

OK, there are some of my irrational fears. The sun is well on its way to rising now so I'm not really scared right now. Maybe by writing this I rid myself of these stupid thoughts that pop into my head once and for all.

So are you scared of any stupid things? Or did you get rid of such things when you grew up?

Ah, the joy of youth! You say you'll "eat stuff"...could you be a contender on Fear Factor? In my twenties I could have been on that show (if it existed back then), if it weren't for the bugs and eyes & other gross stuff to eat. That's where I'd draw the line. But do you think you could do it?

yeah probably, If it's not alive. I saw one episode where they had to eat life african spiders. Bleagh! Those suckers are fast. If it was dead, I bet I could do it.
