Oh, that will go away soon. In about... 28 or so years.

Speaking of ventriliquist dummies and the like, that reminded me that I had a friend who, back in the Big 80s when McDonald's was running their Mac The Night ads - the big moon-shaped character, was scared to death of that thing.

Now that I mention it, that Burger King dude with the big plastic head kind of had me looking over my shoulder for a bit.

I have a wierd thing about fire. I'm not scared by its presence, but the idea of it terrifies me beyond reason. It's like there's a part of me always on the alert. I have this notion, dug in somewhere deep in my mind, that I'm going to die in a fire.

Not to mention the emotional scarring to the other person

I used to get creeped out by what I couldn't see out of the windows at night, so I would always close the drapes. The idea of putting my face up to a window and cupping my hands around my temples so I could see better, freaked me out.

Isn't it worse to wonder what might be there if you pull the drapes back?

Pico and ME · 01-23-2009, 07:30 PM

I dont think so....its more the things a darkened window are hiding....the things you cant see because the light is on. Im not so bad now, but it still bugs me a little. I once house-sat for a friend who didnt have any coverings on her windows. It was a bit hard to relax. I dealt with it by keeping the light off in the livingroom at night.

I have that fear too Pico. I also house-sat for a friend, and slept on the couch, but the backdoor had no cover over it. I was so freaked out someone would come up, look in see me alone, break the door, and then kill/rape me. I left the back porch light on so hopefully they wouldn't be able to see me so easy, but if I woke up I would see them. My windows in my bedroom have heavy coverings.

Labbers: I'm just scared of semis in general. Scared they won't make it under the bridge, scared they're gonna change lanes into me, scared they're gonna have a blowout, scared they're gonna jackknife, scared the driver is gonna look at me and wave...
get my point?

Pico and ME · 01-23-2009, 08:06 PM

I had a guy driving a semi put a sign in the window for me to read. It said 'show me your boobs'. He freaked me out so much I ended up getting a speeding ticket because I had to keep up a steady speed of 85 to get away from him.

did the cop not buy that story?

Pico and ME · 01-23-2009, 09:05 PM

I didnt tell the cop, I was pretty sure he wouldnt buy it or it wouldnt matter. Anyway, I have bad luck with cops and tickets, they never ever want to give me a break.

Afterward I kept thinking I should have, but oh well.

Hey BTW, this was when I was driving through Pennsylvania to get to Philadelphia to visit my brother. I ended up getting two tickets on this trip. On the way back home, I got caught taking an illegal left turn in Ohio. I was coming out of a gas station at three in the morning and didn't think anyone would see me. I really have lousy luck.

Maybe you could have shown the cop your boobs?

yep, me too. When I was a kid, my evening prayer always ended with "and please don't let the house catch fire, AMEN"

Yeah, but then he would have cited me for 'limited indecent exposure'.
