Things I Am Afraid Of.

Getting hit by a paintball. This will likely happen on Saturday, unless I manage to succesfully hide behind my friend who coaxed me in to going only by promising I could "hide behind her."

Being told I'm wrong. Wrong by definition here means out of tune. But I also am just afraid of being wrong in general. WHY?!! I know a select few people who don't mind being wrong. Why can't I be one of you? I hate that I feel the need to be defensive all. the. time. The first step has been taken: Problem recognized. I'm working on it.

Maleficent. If you don't know who this is consider yourself lucky. She will scare me until the day I die.

Putting myself out there. Since when did that become a phrase that everyone understands? It makes absolutely no sense. But I am afraid of "it."

My orchestra conductor. I was doing such a good job at not getting scared all last week and the beginning of this week, but then I folded yesterday. Dang it.

People. I am your cookie cutter people-pleaser.

People seeing me when I am on my way to work out in the morning. It's worse than the "just rolled out of bed" look, and one of my co-workers saw it yesterday. Cue awkward hello's.

The floor in my bathroom. Sick. O.

Being told I need a new headjoint. Knowing it's probably true. My headjoint and I are not in a loving relationship right now. I just bought this one a year ago. Better yet, my parents just bought one a year ago. This is not happening.

Spiders. They make me scream.

Throwing up. I don't understand how anyone could do this on purpose.




On another note, I am going to bake some zucchini bread today. On another note from that note, I think of all of the cooking escapades that I have and the limited number of people I have to share them with and think that someday I will make some little family very happy with these cooking frenzies. Hopefully it's mine.



P.S. What are you afraid of?

Be scared for Saturday my girl.

I also am scared of:

People who throw up on purpose.

Spiders.

My bathroom in general.

Being wrong.

And definitely the phrase: putting yourself out there. What is that supposed to mean?

I love this post.

I hate hippos. Also worms give me the heebie-jeebies.

I'm afraid of my future being in the hands of someone else. I'm there right now, and its pretty scary.

Also I'm scared of going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. My shower curtain is always pulled closed and I am always afraid that there is someone hiding behind it...

"Dying alone." Yes, that's a quote! You should check out "Modern Family" even though you're way too busy. Watch the episode "Fears". Amber, you make me laugh!
