My friend Daniel tagged me to list 8 random facts about myself. I got a really weird e-mail after the 8 things post I did last month, so this time I’m going to go for something milder.
In order to have a theme, I’m going to call this the Fear Edition:
1.) I am afraid of heights. It all started when I was very little, and I decided that climbing my dresser drawers would be the equivalent of climbing a mountain. As you might expect, the dresser fell over on me and busted me in the lip. So now, I have a fear that when I am up high, whatever I am on will fail me and I will once again be injured.
2.) I am afraid of tight spaces. Crowded elevators are not fun.
3.) I am afraid of fire. Even candles freak me out sometimes.
4.) I am afraid of big semi trucks. One time, a guy almost mowed me over because he was speeding around a very sharp curve and headed right into my lane, facing me. I had to swing into another lane, ramming another car, because it was the only way to save myself and Rodney.
5.) I am afraid of missing one minute of Big Brother.
6.) I am afraid of people who think they’re speaking the words of God. We seem to be getting mixed messages. Whenever I talk to God, He doesn’t sound at all like a hateful bigot. I wonder what time they are talking to Him.
7.) I am afraid of people with bad breath. They always like to get really close when they talk, don’t they?
8.) I am painfully afraid of wrinkles, even though I know I get better with age (like a fine wine).
