The world is a scary place!

Past Fear

Believe it or not, I don't panic everyday... ok, maybe I do but its usually not something different everyday.
I thought every once in a while I would post a fear that I used to have.

This happened a few years ago...
I was emailing a guy I had never met before (weird, I know but I knew the rest of his family). We had really good conversations. We exchanged phone numbers so emails turned into texting and texting turned into phone calls. I was so naive, I enjoyed talking to him but learned that he was not someone I should get serious with but I liked the attention and kept talking to him... UNTIL he said that he was going to come visit me. WHAT! No, that can't happen. I told him that I didn't want him to and then ignored all his further emails, texts and phone calls. I was so scared every time the doorbell rang it would be him. I was mostly scared that he would turn out to be some crazy psycho who would stalk me the rest of my life. Turned out, he just liked me and I was the huge jerk!

I don't lead guy's on on purpose...

I like being liked... Is that such a crime?

Public Speaking

Usually people are nervous about public speaking before and during there speech or presentation. I don't get nervous before, I get nervous during and then I'm still nervous days after. For example, last night I was asked to share some thoughts in front of a big congregation for a church ceremony. I felt really special and important that they asked
me so I was really excited until I was up there speaking and forgot everything I wanted to say and now that it's over I keep thinking back to what I did say and wondering if it even made sense at all the people who ask me probably regret it now.
People told me after I did a good job but I always wonder I they really mean that or if they just say that because they are standing right in front of me.

Final's

Yup, its that time of year again!!! I made it through a busy, stressful, long semester but its not quite finished yet... actually the most important 2 weeks of the whole 4 months if just starting. This is what it all boils down to. Am I ready? Of course not. Do I feel prepared? Absolutely not. Am I panicking? Duh!!
I have a few hours left tonight to study and then Monday morning comes bright and early!!
Wish me luck!
Pray for me!
Do whatever you think will get me a better mark (probably getting offline and hittin the books).

Why can't I live in Europe?

Most big cities in Europe you don't need a car, public transportation is so accessible and so reliable. Why can't it be that way here?? I guess big American cities have good Subway systems like New York but not here. I rely so much on my car and I took it in for a tune-up this morning at 8am and it's now 12:12pm and they haven't called me yet to tell me if anything is wrong with it. That probably means that everything is wrong with it and they are stalling to tell me the bad news, or they are still making the "needs fixing" list which is probably over 50 items long... I only budgeted $900 to fix stuff and my bill is probably long past that.

Oh boy

Ex's Ex's

Does anyone else get really uncomfortable when you see one of your Ex's Ex's?? I do, or at least one particular Ex's Ex. I am terrified of seeing her. This is making me sound so horrible, I have never actually met the girl so I'm sure she is very lovely. I am just reminded of the heartbreak every time I see her and I am so scared that she is somehow going to work her way into my circle of friends or somehow I'll be forced to associate with her. It's just really frightening to know a lot about someone and to know they know a lot about you but you've never met them.
