Re: What do you fear?(Pretty scary)

I'm wondering which is the worst :
1) self-poisoning
2) being poisonned by your lover
I'm wondering so because, as you know it, the great poisoners were women. :twisted:

Poisoning is scary, thats for sure. Im paranoid about meat especially chicken. If it smells the least bit off, to the burning barrel it goes.

That makes three of us. No meat, fish or fowl is worth a case of food poisoning. Bleah.

Oh....to answer BooksandJoy probably being poisoned by your lover...you are dealing with not only poisoning but betrayal. Which can be far worse.

I think my biggest fear is how I will die. Lol it is a pretty lame fear. I'm not afraid of dying, I just hate not knowing if I will die in pain or in my sleep or something.

That is a scary thing to think about. Ive always had a fear of getting some disease or illness where I would be hooked up to tubes and wires rotting away in some hospice or something. I would like to drop dead in my tracks doing something enjoyable. I had a friend who drove an ambulance, and one time they got a call to go to, to put it delicately, a house of commercialized romance and pick up some guy who died from a heart attack. I guess he went doing what he wanted to do.

Hey Prim, as morbid as it sounds, I think being burnt alive would be worse. :(

Yes I do concur Gannon, being burnt alive would be pretty horrendous..... at least drowning would be cooler ( as in temperature). I have just seen to many movies with a drowning element and it does scare me.

I had some reoccurring nightmares last year that had my parents dying. We were driving and we would hit a cement wall in one of my Dad's old trucks. I would survive and see all of the gore, but they wouldn't. It was pretty awful.

A strange fear I have is going into the bathroom and seeing that the shower curtain is closed. I always expect a dead body there even if it's someone I don't know.

Sounds like you have been seeing too many B slasher movies. That would scare the crap out of me, too.

Yikes! I finally saw the face!!! I've gotta log in here more often.
I figure I'll die by choking on a rat...when one of the little doofuses crawls all the way down my throat before I can catch him. I don't know why they're so fascinated with the inside of my mouth.
How perfectly goddamned delightful it all is, to be sure.
