If I had a chance to have a talk with "God" I'd shove that picture under his/her/its nose and say, "Now you're just fucking around." Talk about an abuse of power.

Anything that burrows and lives under skin makes me absolutely wretch. It brings me back to fifth grade when we were learning about these toads who would lay eggs and spread them over their own backs. The eggs secreted a hormone of some sort which made the back skin swell up and engorge around the eggs so you could barely see the tips of them, and the toads would walk around with the eggs on their backs. Cute? No. Fuckin' SICK. And as the tadpoles got too big for their pods, they'd burst and wriggle out of the infected back skin. I remember shutting my science book and putting my head in my hands. Not much has changed. Now I feel properly nauseous.

And BabyMel, I tossed the coffee maker and everything near it. I didn't buy another for a good year, after I'd moved to a bigger place and I didn't gag at the thought of brewing coffee.


My stomach is on fire in remembrance.

What a terrible thing to have something as wonderful as coffee ruined for a year by the physical manifestation of EVIL.

Throwing it away might not have been good enough for me, actually. I might have been forced to burn it. Maybe the whole house, in fact.

That's what I'm trying to fucking say. I mean, I could buy 86 new coffemakers, but there's no way I'd be able to brew without vomiting! It fucked coffee UP! To this day I examine everything I eat/drink with extreme scrutiny. FLIES ARE EVERYWHERE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO BITE INTO SOMETHING FLESHY AND SLIMY THAT WILL POP IN YOUR MOUTH LIKE A CHERRY TOMATO, EXCEPT IT SURE AS HELL WON'T TASTE DELICIOUS LIKE A CHERRY TOMATO. IT WILL TASTE LIKE A MAGGOT.

BECAUSE IT WILL BE A MAGGOT.

Did you seek therapy?

I'm so glad I made this thread.

I have a completely irrational fear of rollercoasters.....don't ask!!!

and I am deathly afraid of deep water/drowning..... Its insane but I start to hyperventilate when I start getting too deep....which is counterproductive since if I start gulping in mass quantities of water, I'll drown....

I think my greatest fear is failure in anything I do and dissapointing someone who believed in me. I have this completely unhealthy drive to succeed that keeps me going, and I know that without it, I wouldn't be whenre I am today. Sometimes my fears are the only things that keep me going, as if I don't even want the end result it can bring.

I also fear [and greatly despise] rodents and ALL insects. *shiver* And large mammals.

I guess that's abt it.

I have a zombie phobia. For real. Zombie movies freak me OUT. Bad. BAD.

When I used to smoke a lot of weed I loved looking at the stars, but sometimes the realization that I was stuck to this ball hurtling through space gave me a panicky feeling.

Yeah, since I've typed the word I've been gagging and shivering all morning at my desk here. God, I fucking hate maggots. Here's a really nasty story.

Years ago, I went on a road trip to visit family in New Orleans / Baton Rouge and I accidentally left a filter of grounds in the coffee pot. When I got home about two weeks later, I opened the filter box to find the coffee grounds COVERED in several inches of FAT, WRIGGLY MAGGOTS!!! THERE MUST HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS OF THEM! THE ENTIRE TRAY WAS FULL TO ALMOST THE TOP NEAR MY FINGERS! I STARTED SHRIEKING AND RAN OUT OF THE APARTMENT, LEFT MY DOOR OPEN, RAN DOWN THE STAIRS TO MY FRIEND'S APARTMENT TO HAVE HIM TAKE THAT SHIT TO THE DUMPSTER. Sorry about the caps, but FUCK. I even had him disinfect the entire area. NEVER leave grounds in coffee pots, How did the fly/flies get in there?! Why did they lay their SACS THERE?! WTF FWEJRJWJRWJWFjk

I'm EXTREMELY afraid of sharks.

My brother used to scare me with maggots, he always had them cos he fishes.. and I remember him taunting me with them when I was young.

When I was renting, the house I lived in had maggots everywhere, we were infested, and I could open a book I had been reading and they were inside the book even. I kinda must have gone a bit crazy. cos they were literally everywhere and I couldnt rest or sleep, I was looking everywhere for them, trying to remove and kill them. It was horrible.

I remember when my hamster died, she went into her fluff and fell asleep, she was near death anyway and would sleep alot, but the summer was really hot then, and I had the window open most of the time, (same house) when she was sleeping I went to check on her, and she had kinda the shits and stuff but when I lifted the fluff off her, to check she was ok, there was big slimy maggots that had got to her..
