Things That Scare The Crap Out Of Me

Sorry, I don't know how to capitalize things, so I went ahead and did the whole title. Like I said, here's a list of things that really freak me out. I don't know why. But I'm sure you'll be able to relate.....

1. When people creep up on you and poke you - All I can say is, "wtf, bro. wtf." This is the most pointless thing ever, and yet it scares me so much I think I would pee my pants. It's so stupid. Just the thought of someone -anyone- coming up to you and touching you is scary enough. Then they rub it in your face the next day and are like, "Yeah, she totally got scared to death yesterday! Sooo funny!" *Frowns* Let's see how you like it, punk...

2. The stupid YouTube videos that your friends show you - You might be thinking, "Justine, what kind of friends do you have??," but I'm sure you have these kinds of friends too, whether you're at work, school, McDonalds, the zoo, whatever. So anyway, these STUPID videos are of something completely random and innocent, like a car driving on the road and then a FREAKING CREEPY DUDE POPS UP AND SCREAMS. Yeah. Nothing is scarier than that. You didn't even get a warning. You're just sitting there eating Jell-O or something, and then that pops up! I'm pretty sure you would choke on your Jell-O and start sputtering, then scream for dear life.....I did. It's a pretty bad experience. Moooovin' on to 3....

3. Tatsu - Yeah, it's that demonish ride at Six Flags Magic Mountain. I almost threw up in line. That's how intense it was and I hadn't even gotten on it yet. My friends first convinced me into going: "Come on, it'll be awesome!" "This is one of the scariest rides here!" You bet. First of all, as you're getting strapped in, you're kind of comforted that there's a bunch of security things so you're snug tight in your seat. NOT. It felt like I was going to fall out any second like this kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MD6Cx0qzRA. I screamed just like him, too. So there you are, sitting down and then holycrapyouarefreakingupsidedown. That's right. The ride is 'Fly at the Speed of Fear'. No joke. They meant the flying thing seriously too. At first, I was thinking, "Yayyy. This is going to be so much fun! It's going to be like we're flying! Yippeeeee!"...To tell you guys the truth (because you all care so much), I cried on that ride. I didn't mean to at first, because it was just one little tear. Buuuuuuuuut, since you're upside down, that's not exactly the case. My friends started "snickering" (okay, chucking.....okay fine, laughingsofrickinhardtheyalmostcried) at me because pretty soon I had tears just streaming down my face. Well, to be exact, just falling at the corners of my eyes because we were facing the ground the entire time. Don't get me wrong - I've been on plenty of scary rides. I love roller coasters as much as this kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XQzQYFYfy8 (he looks like Gollum when he's scared). My face was like that too when I got on stupid Tatsu. Helpful hints: do not go on this ride if you think you can handle it. Because you can't. You won't be able to.

4. Driving next to huge trucks - Don't even try to deny it. You know you get scared when you have a huge WonderBread truck next to you, and it seems as though it will fall right on you...especially when they're making a turn. The worst is when it's a truck with huge logs or pipes in the back.

5. Nasteh bugs - Namely moths, spiders, huge beetles. I went to this camp a couple of years ago, and I swear, that place was infested with these huge, black, beetles that flew straight at your ears. I'm not fooling around with you people. These ridiculous things just attacked people for no reason. Which is why they scare me. Coming back to the present, I went to another camp a week ago, and whaddya know? There's an infestation of moths in my cabin. Not just that, but they came through the window that my bunk was at. I was so traumatized. All the girls in my cabin were like, "Ohhh Justine, you're so paranoid!". Are you kidding? Do you KNOW what it feels like to just be sitting there on your bed when you're suddenly being attacked by little flying creeps??? Whew. I'm getting ahead of myself here. They didn't exactly attack anyone, actually. They just flew to the light. But it was still pretty creepy to see all these bugs there. So NATURALLY, I saran-wrapped my window. Then for extra security measures, I added a note that said, "TAKE THAT MOTHS!" on it....even though they can't read. I guess it was for everybody else's enjoyment. But it worked. I felt really proud of myself there.

6. When people stare at you from their cars - Even though it sounds pretty minor, this sort of thing is actually pretty creepy. You've experienced this before, right? So you're driving along listening to Michael Buble, when all of a sudden you get this...feeling...that someone is watching you. Raising your eyebrows in surprise, you casually glance over to your left lane and....daaaang. You were so right. There's probably some old grandma giving you the stink eye because you're going the speed limit, and she's getting mad because she supposes that anyone can go a little faster than the actual limit. Wrong-o. You turn back to 'All of Me' and then you hear sirens. You're wondering, "Oh....shoot. These plates have NOT expired yet...I think" but it turns out it's the old lady getting a ticket. *Rubs hands together* Revenge has been dished.
....Wow. I really went off topic there. Why were you still reading?

7. Flickering lights - I'm talking about the lights that are flickering because A) they're not screwed in right, or B) some idiot forgot to change it. This happened quite recently actually. In the bathroom, of all places. I guess this would be more annoying than anything, but it's actually pretty scary if you experience it. I actually solved this dilemma by blinking really fast, so it would seem like I was making the lights flicker myself. I know, I'm such a retard. But it worked.

8. Gum under a table - At school, college, work, etc. I suppose it would be more of a shock than a scary experience. Whatever. So anyway, you're sitting there and talking with your friends or something and just when you cross your legs, your knee bumps against the underside of the table/desk. You feel something...let's just say, 'that should not. be. there.' While your friends are chatting about the new Justin Bieber CD, you feel under the desk and *GASP* youtouchthegum. Blehhhhhhh. For me, I feel like this shock, as if somebody forced my eyes open with toothpicks and left them there. It probably looks that way too. Somebody usually gets a laugh out of it though.
