I don’t know why but I nearly PMSL when I read this.

You are right about the swallowing bugs things though OG. It’s the worst when you’re not sure what kind it was.

I once ate a dead dried centipede I found under a table at work. I found it on a Tuesday. I ate it on a Thursday while out drinking with co-workers.

This other time, when some neighbors were over for dinner, I caught a moth that was fluttering around the table. I cupped it in my hands and put my hands up to my mouth. My plan was to blow the moth out of my cupped hands like a feather. Unfortunately, when I sucked the air in through my hands, the moth came in with it. Disappearing moth trick.

HAHA! Breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth. Good thing it wasn’t a blowgun and a curare dart. You only make that mistake once.

Had a dream last night where my girlfriend said she was cheating on me, I got so angry, i woke up really pissed off and had shit loads of acne over my face even though the night before my skin was perfectly clear.

I also got that dream where my teeth were falling out, weird.

I would rather crawl through a pitch black 2 mile long tunnel where I couldn’t turn around, than deal with my girl cheating on me.[/quote]

Lame.

why? Why would you actually save a dried up centipede to eat while drinking with your friends? Is this a weird guy party trick?

Deep water. I just know that there’s some slimy-tentacled or many-toothed horror waiting to gobble me up.

Chalk it up to seeing Jaws when I was about 10. The floor of my parents’ house was white tile, so while watching Jaws the blueness of the water reflected off of the tile and made the floor look like water (to a 10 year old) and whenever I had to go take a piss and I’d leap off the couch and run as fast as I could to the bathroom. Of course, there could be sharks in the toilet, so I slowly lifted the lid to peek in, and sometimes I’d even check the shower to make sure there was nothing there, either.

Then, I’d run back to the couch, jumping as much as possible to stay off the floor.

Actually, that’s kinda funny.

But fuck me, I will not ever be able to go out over deep water. I will freak out.

Strange thing is, I want to learn how to swim better so that I can at least move if I ever find myself in such a situation.

Edit: Actually, I find myself holding my breath whenever I watch movies that have underwater scenes like The Abyss, Aliens 4, Deep Blue Sea, etc, etc. I have to remind myself to breathe . . .

I am the most at peace in the deep blue ocean. The deeper and further away from land the better. I just like floating on my back looking at the sky. On a clear night when there is no full moon it’s the best. Just don’t forget to tether to the boat or it could be a long swim back – and don’t dress up like a seal and or bathe in fish guts.

On the opposite spectrum the idea of being on land stranded in the middle of nowhere gives me the heebs.

I used to get that too. Apparently it means you think you have health problens.

Get a check up and go to the dentist and they might stop.

Eating tongue.

Who doesn’t fear death?

Being poisoned (slipped a bad drug)
I did to many drugs and the thought of rec drugs freeks me out.

I think I read in a dream analysis book that losing teeth, where either they fall out or are disintegrating, means you have self-esteem or confidence issues. I stopped having those dreams years ago, and can note that it was about that time that I was finally getting over some issues I’d had since my early teens.

But then, this isn’t really a phobia, as much as it is a scary dream. :slight_smile:

My 2 biggest phobias:

-Losing my purpose in life
-Being conquered by the devil
