To Squee4242 and Bill, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who has what will now be known as the “Irrational Front Teeth being Knocked Out in a Bloody Mess Fear”

I actually have 2 buddies of mine celebrating Bdays today, one is his 21st and had a family party and one is currently pledging my frat and spent the day with his pledge class in NYC. (just like I did a year ago), so Happy Bday, Jim!

Congrats, Special K! Is it sad that I’ve been constantly been listening to the Flogging Molly songs on your myspace for the last week? At first I was bored, but now…they’re stuck in my head.

I still need to go to an A&W too, I heard they brought back their own Fish Sandwich just for Lent and is another stop on my Challenge. Fortunatley for LJS, the only pure one on LI is right across the street from my college, so that’s good timing right there.

Fears? Needles, as in syringes & tattoo needles. Ick.

Fears, oh fears. I have this really great panic disorder (runs in the family) so I have a ton of really irrational fears.
Mostly it boils down to not being in control, but I label it as a fear of puking. Also I’m afraid of getting blood drawn and needles in general.

My husband is afraid of the teeth thing too – he has nightmares in which his teeth all fall out. Any of you tooth people have that nightmare?

Jessica Marie, I have that “teeth falling out” nightmare all the time, so tell your husband he’s not alone.

As a child I actually fell face first on to the concrete and knocked out some teeth leaving my mouth a bloody mess. Oddy I don’t really fear it anymore.

On a dental related note however, I had some teeth pulled and they put me under. Afterwards my mom took me to a Fred Myer Pharmacy to get my drugs. When we got there I ran ahead since I was still loopy only when I tried the automatic door it wouldn’t work. So when my mom catches up I’m mumbling to some lady about how the dentist stole my lips.

This is a remnant of when my mom said you had to smile to get automatic doors open when I was really young. So my irrational fear is people stealing my lips evidently.

The whole “teeth falling out” dream thing must be some sort of collective fear because I’ve talked to a lot of people who have had the same dream. I can’t help thinking that it represents some widespread sub conscience fear that all humans have in the face of the prospect of growing old and dying or a reflection of poor dental habits that we share as a nation.

Sometimes I’ll have dreams that I’m driving and I can’t stop at a light. And I’m not going unusually fast or anything, the brakes just aren’t working.

I’ve come to realize that I have them when I feel like I’m losing control of some aspect of my life.

Oh yeah ever since I got in a car accident a few years back sometimes I wake up with a start, having just dreamt that I was about to crash into something.
Don’t you hate when you have a dream that’s just blantant as to why you had it? You know, like you can just pick it apart and know exactly why your brain belched up that particular stuff, and it’s just boring and mundane? For example, when I’m oversleeping, I always dream that I’m getting ready for work, but I can’t pick an outfit or find my shoes, like my brain is trying to tell me there’s something I should be doing instead of sleeping. Lame.

I love the dreams where you are running really fast then trip and at the same time you jerk awake. I think they are called “sleep spindles.”

Jeff M: At my grandmother’s house she has this three foot doll that has been standing infront of the guest bedroom window for the past 40 years. The wear from the sun has bleached it’s face white and turned it’s eyes black. Also some of the hair on the right side of the head has fallen out. It is by far the scariest thing in the world.
I had a dream that it was walking in the hallway and I had to jump over it to escape. After I did I was running down the stairs screaming every obsenity in the book. The bad news is I was also talking in my sleep and my grandmother woke me horrified by my creative mix of the f-word.

Last night I veiwed one of the craziest drunken dancers at a dive bar in my town, and through the goodness of the internet I can show it to all of you, although I feel kinda bad. But, hey if your gonna do that in public I guess you can’t be too ashamed, Anyhow. Here’s the video
Oh, and I am terrified of turbulence, not flying in general, but if there’s turbulence I will have a panic attack.

kb, what an unfortunate character you’ve witnessed. Strange, does she fall on that guy or what?

And how come no-one’s mentioned the title, “asasaisiasi”? After three hours I think I can finally pronounce it.

kb, that is almost as good as what I witnessed yesterday: I stopped at the store on the way into work and a very thin ‘man’ was dancing at the bus stop. But just calling it dancing is a disservice to the art he was creating…it was like if Beyonce was not famous but still danced the same way, only at bus stops in the middle of town. He was obviously having a FABULOUS afternoon

I feel like I come in too late to SNT now because I’m working again on Friday’s. But at least I enjoy it; I’ve been working “The King & I” for two weeks now and tonight I finally took the time to watch the ‘famous’ Shall We Dance? number….like watching a bit of history for a theatre geek. I also got to go to a little brew-ha hosted by the King of Siam himself tonight…quite an interesting evening all in all…

Oh, and to my fellow DS heads: those of you that are fans of Elite Beat need to get Ouendan (the Japanese original) ASAP…it’s so much fun!
