Day 286
Well, I’ve certainly been slacking off lately. I think last night’s post was the third missed post in two weeks. In some ways I’ve just not had much to say and in others I’ve just been lazy. I’m sorry. I’m working on getting back on track.
In the search for inspiration I’ve been reading a lot of blogs lately. One of the newest I’ve come across is Barking Mad. In one of her recent posts she mentions things that freak her out. One of her items is Jell-O. I too am freaked out by Jell-O. I’m sorry but I don’t like my food to move across my plate. It just freaks me out.
So, inspired by Barking Mad’s Blog I offer you a few things that freak me out.
1. Sports Mascots — When I still worked at the magazine we put on a Toy Test at Deptford Mall. SocceRoo from the Kixx and Phlex from the Phantoms joined us. Phlex swore he needed a dressing room and the guy who played SocceRoo walked by (before he was in costume) and said to me, “Nobody knows this but I’m SocceRoo.” *shudder* He was holding my hand at the time. I maintain that the Phillie Phanatic is only cool on TV. Let’s not even get into the Burger King King or Ronald McDonald. *shudder* (I absolutely refuse to even let my mind wander to thoughts about Furries)
2. Spiders — Creepy, crawly, icky spiders. Once when Chuck and I were first married he had to work in the Princeton office all day on a Saturday. A spider appeared on our vertical blinds. I locked myself in our bedroom until he got home. I’ve since grown up and can kill spiders all on my own but I’m still creeped out by them.
3. Jell-O — I don’t like my food to move and I especially don’t like for it to jiggle. And there’s this little piece of trivia, lime green Jell-O produces the same frequencies as the human brain on an EEG. That’s just wrong on so many levels.
So to wrap up, if you really wanted to freak me out you should probably bring me to a reenactment of the Last Supper with a table full of sports mascots, The Burger King, clowns and the Kia hamsters eating bowls of lime green Jell-O. *laughs* Oh my God I may never sleep again.
So what freaks you out? Clowns? Bugs? Close talkers?
I have to say some clowns freak me out just had to post a comment tot his blog it brought a smile to my face. And i grew up btw in the town Jello was invented in lol so i could take you there to see the tour of that and freak you out? J/K but i did grow up in the town it was invented in. LOL
OMG! I’ve read about that museum. Is it still open? The Jell-O museum. I’m okay with circus clowns but I do hate Ronald McDonald. He creeps me out.
Close-Talkers! I had completely forgotten about them!
And yeah, I’m right there with you when it comes to spiders. I have a couple of posts about spiders and I’d post the URL’s to them, but I don’t want you to have a freak out! ;-)
I think it’s even more freaky that as much as Jell-O freaks me out, I love it!
I’d never really given much thought to sports mascot’s but ya know? You’re right.
BTW, you’re pretty freakin’ incredible! Just thought you should know!
Awww ….. (((hugs))) Thank you that’s nice of you to say. Oh and thanks for stopping by Audrey and thanks for the inspiration for a post. (((hugs))) Ed note: Find another word for thanks. Used 3 times in one reply.
strangers touching me
touching someone else’s phone (cell, desk…doesn’t matter)
someone picking up My Ink Pen….its like someone touching my toothbrush ~grimace~
most other people’s feet ~gag~
public bathrooms (I use em, but I don’t like ’em!)
and it’s not that I’m germophobe…I’m peoplephobe…people are gross, in general and I’ve been to one too many OSHA classes :P
animal innards prepared to be eaten (tripe…chicken hearts…liver :P )
yeah I know…but really…I don’t have *issues*
I have subscriptions
lots of them!
OMG! Strangers touching me. Dear God, I hate that. Oh and people who insist on hugging you or kissing you when you first meet. Um, apparently you’re not alone in your “issues.” LOL
I forget that ” : P ” doesn’t make the same face everywhere ^^^
that one is silly…I meant it in a *sticking my tongue out because these things are gross* kind of way
Hah! Got it.
I’m a peoplephobe too! I have never heard the term before, thanks! And when I wash my hands in a public bathroom I pull the towel thing b4 washing me hands then use the paper towels I used to dry my hand to open the door! I don’t even want to think about how many ppl don’t wash their hands when the use the restroom! And I hate using public ones too!! Grosses me out!!!
Jenn, when I used to go to Booth Radiology for my MRIs and CAT scans there were directions for washing your hands hanging in the restroom. One of the steps was turn the faucet off with the paper towel instead of your bare hand. Since i read that I try to always have the paper towel ready ahead of time so I can tun the faucet off with the towel. (no, that is not a bottle of hand sanitizer that you see in my handbag, no it’s um clear hand lotion, yeah clear hand lotion. LOL)
