What Do You Fear?

[Gene L.D. Ryoko]

A bizzare fear.

Running into some of the enemies in psychonauts in dark ally.

[Chilaquiles]

I'm afraid of a megachain of smoothie shops called "Jamba Juice". Whenever I get a drink there, I get really bad brain freeze that lasts an unusually long time. And there was this one time when I got this flavor that was like...Melon...something. It tasted good in the beginning, but the aftertaste was so awful that thinking about it even to this day makes me feel like vomiting a little. The shops smell really funky, too. And there's always a bunch of weird hipster people in there.

I'm not kidding.

[Yoshiko]

The Dark.
Yes, the dark. I know it seems immature and... Whatnot, but I'm paranoid and other things.

Being Alone.
Honestly, I can't... Be alone for very long. It makes me scared, and it's just hard coming from a family of six children. I swear... It's just.... NO.

[Rackinac]

I fear hospitals. You just don't know if they're gonna mess up like what I hear on TV. Also, the smell of them. Medicene and sick people don't exactly smell good...

THEY ALSO MADE A TOY DOG INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO PLAY SOCCER BY ITSELF!!! What if in the future, they make robots smart enough to do chores and it then realizes it's a slave? It may be artifical intelligence, but it is still intelligence. A war between robots and humans? That'll be scary!

[plebenshiren]

i fear brown yoshis, that wear top hats and sunglasses.....and-plays....the.........paino.............*bricked*

no seriosly though i'm scared of loud noises and silence at the same time, wierd combo i know but i guess that's why i listen to music alot.
i'm also scared of wasps ^^;

*Remembers Furbies* It seems like a lot of movies have a story similar to that. I wonder if that could really happen. We can program them to do stuff for us, but could we also program them to not take any knowledge in? I think that if robots aren't smart enough to talk fluently and understand any sentence formed in a language (not just simple commands from a command sheet) then we'll be okay.

Also I'll add, I fear throwing up. I don't like it at all. Because of my fear of throwing up when I feel sick, I think of it, which causes me to throw up. It sucks!!!

Thats all for now.

Exactly like me. >.>

Oh, another one I just remembered~
Losing someone I love.
It's horrible... (I know, I've gone through it once.)
Uh~ Especially in a time like Christmas or the day just after your birthday.
Even a friend.
Storryyy tiiime.
We went to Calico. (Ghost town place thingy.) For an annual shooting trip in our boyscout troop.
And, so, this guy in our troop, the obnoxious-ish one, Lance, finds a live .22 round on the ground, puts it under a rock, and starts to jump on it. My friends and I were very close... Too close, really. XD
And, I stood in front of the friend who was closest to the bullet. I was simply thinking...
"If it's hitting anyone, it's hitting me."
Butyeah. I'da hated it to hit anyone, even that kid~

[Yoshifrog]

Thrill rides. They suck. The feeling that you're restrained and that you are most definately going to be scared out of your mind and not able to escape that feeling you get kills >< Even those simple log flumes make me wanna cry, the way you get closer, and closer, and all that fear builds up, and then holy crap you just drop ): And those weird spinny chair rides where you spin and tilt and wave not olny make you lose your stomach, but you get motion sick 0_o I never throw up or anything on thrill rides, but I sure do hate them. And I'm going to the fair tomorrow.
But that ride where you spin around and go up and down (at least you're attatched to somthing solid) over hills in a circle, and you start going so fast you wanna die, backwards and forwards and yay- I don't mind that ^^
But that's my number one fear.

I also hate the dentist >< My teeth are so sensitive. The fillings hurt like heck and the sound of drills makes me sick to my stomach. And that fat lady that puts all her weight on the toothbrush and makes my gums bleed, and they get all red and sore- I'm not too fond of her. I wanna sue.

And the one weird thing about me is I hate letting go of balloons- so much. When I try to let go, I have to jump back up and get them. I hate watching something fly away, or go up, because It's been a fear I had since I was little; somehow floating up high enough to drop to my death. I'm fine with hieghts or being on an airplane, but I need to be in something safe or on solid ground.

[Lord of the Dance]

I have a fear of standing next to tall buildings. Yes, only standing outside them. Once I'm inside, the fear dies down a little.
And I don't like cats very much. They're crazy, I say. >_>
I also fear soccer balls. Even though I play soccer. I can't be around them when they're kicked. Too many times when I was little was I hit in the face and stuff when one was sent flying, I suppose.

Really, Yoshifrog? I love roller coasters. It's one of my favorite things to do at any theme park.

*gasp* How can you say that?! Cats are awesome, my family has two.

I kinda have a fear of walking alone at night. And no, I'm not talking about the risk of being kidnapped. I'm okay with walking alone most of the time but it's when I hear the chirping of this one certain bird that lives in my neighborhood that it's freaky. Just the sound of it and the sense of being alone at the same time make the walk unpleasant. But I'm okay if I don't hear that bird. (I'd make you a little scared if you heard it)

[glow=red,2,300]

spiders. i know its not sooooo horrible but the night, on my house, there's about 50 big
spiders . really big spiders .I can't enter my house cuz sometimes thei're on my door >.<

and another is the ghosts. some says its not real but my mother lived in a haunted one.
She said the bed was moved each time the night. and had to move it each day.

and the door was always opening, and really closing and locking.

And the scaryest is ... she was talking with her friend and she SAW the dead guy floating behind my mother.(omfg) she never talked to my mother anymore.sometimes he was laughting at her by moving objects and things like that.
even my father (he was about 25 or someting like that) know its true.
he eard the door open so he looked and the door closed. he was
walking backside without saying anything, to the bed.(lol, like homer when apoo mislead manjoola)

I visited one when i was 5 (i was playing mario brothers in the cave. I eard chains and someone sceam... really scary)

i d'ont fear the dark or being alone in the dark. what I fear is ghosts.

A new fear, alarms. My house has the LOUDEST alarm system LIKE, EVER! And we have this stupid window that sets it off, EVERY NIGHT at a different time. It could be right when I go to bed or at 3 in the morning. x.X IT. SUCKS.

Ahaha, so you have one of those alarm systems that are like, motion detected by diffrent areas in the house? Man, more and more people seem to be getting those these days; but as you said there, when they do go off they are drastically freaky. In the essence of scaring the burglar to death, they also get your own spirits all up in a bunch. That would be akward to wake up to every night; especially when there isn't anything wrong. The first time that happened it must have been quite freaky to wake up; only to find out nothing was in fact wrong. Hopefully it won't be like the story of a "Boy who cried wolf", and when it really goes off for the right purpose you won't be prepared. Though, it makes sense of being fretted from such items. Not only do they tell any intruders to back off, but the constant roaring siren all over the house can be a nuissance to anyone. Then, out of some groggy disposition you would have to wake up and slowly trudge over to the "Panel" and type in your passcode. Then you would have to worry about the Security company calling you to check up. Shows how much America has altered though, we can't sleep without putting a large safety net arounds ourselves. In some kind of twisted illusion that we could be ransomed off in the middle of the night; yet with the change and violence of these days, it doesn't seem so strange for that to occur.

What a wonderful, colorful reality we seem to thrive through; so bright and oh so not cheerful. Everyday we worry about simple things, from death to the strangers that walk around us. Our eyes peer at them, wondering what their intentions might be. Seeking out their roots, each step they take is recorded through our hearts. Yet, we never seem to comprehend that in the essence of a timeline; our civillization is striving in some of the safest times known to man. We worry about murders, serial killers, burglars; but we don't recall how it was in the old days. Now by "older days" this does not relate to some simple gesture such as the 20's to the 50's; this goes back to eras and centuries before these days. Times when houses had locks, they would be pad; where rape and pillaging were not to random. When women had no rights, and nearly everything was heresy or against the country; before we found our foundation for a common unity and knowledge. Back when Religion and Politics had tussles, wrapping entire countries and their armies inside of them. Even then though, those that lived through it were used to it; they knew what to do, but they definetly lived in an instance of fear.

True fear comes from the mind, that type of unexplainable feeling we can not produce in a mere splash. It comes with what we can't comprehend; for our minds seem to grasp so much, in such a little hold. Yet, there are things that we do not see; and in our blindness we can only hear them. Leading us to ponder, to dwell in some type of enigma; our hands to suit the features, but no eyes to ever part and take in the scene. Think of it like the mole, while a weak comparison; the only sense in their attribute is that of smell and audacity. Everything around them is a warning, wrong steps can prove fatal, futile. Such is with us, and we know this better than ever. For we have seen that some can tip over the edge, fall where they can't escape. By that, we don't want to dream of what exist beneath our hearts. We only look one way, and one way alone; keeping us in that knot. To make us seem superior, when in fact; we are inferior even to ourselves.

I..used to, and still do fear encompassing darkness. Such at the pits at the bottom of stages in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, I'm not as bad as I used to be, but I used to fear being drawn into those never ending pits of darkness... I also fear insects, even butterflies if they come from behind. The only ones I don't fear are those little white butterflies, house flies, gnats, misquitos, and dragonflies. I also fear getting into trouble, there's always this intense dread that comes with possible trouble.. And finally pain. I...do not enjoy pain at all, and I'm even afraid of it... ...Actually, if I weren't afraid of it, I possibly wouldn't be here.

[Rackinac]

This sounds weird, but I have a fear of game glitches. XD No, really. Mainly beacuse it's like they have a mind of their own, screwin' up the game in such a manor, it scares me. '~'

[ABYAY]

I've seen people fearing birds, pickles, and even peaches... you'd be no different.
I have a fear of some poisonous bugs (spiders, bees) and I used to have a fear of... beeping watches. They'd give me a little "movie" of the devil or something coming out of the electrical socket nearby the bed. It was unavoidable until I got rid of that fricken watch!
But yeah, the world is full of strange things. Don't let that get ya down.

[Bry]

That the universe will implode if contention ever makes a post of less than 650 words.

Realistically though, any kind of piercing injury to the eyes disturbs me no end.

[jukku]

I don't fear much, Just horses and the prospect of being skinned alive, or mummified in barbed wire, or any other fate that has anything to do with a death metal song title.

[Graedius]

Oh, and --

That we are alone and mortal in a godless universe.
