Ouch..That hurts.

So a friend of mine was in a car accident...not today, but recently enought that I can still talk about it as a cautionary tale....

He was driving, in Ottawa, in his Cavalier, or Sunfire....one of those generic cars, that if you get in an accident, it's a write off, becuase you cant ever fix them to drive properly again....So Joey is the type of person that when he stops at the lights, he pulls right up behind you, and I swear you cant see the tires of the person that you're behind.

So he's stopped behind some transport truck, and a car comes flying up behind him and doesnt stop fast enough, and smashes Joeys car, causing him to smash into the transport in front of him....Now, because he's so close to the truck, and the guy from behind hit him so hard, Joeys car got crushed. Thankfully, he's alive, but not unscarred.

Imagine you're driving...the part of the car where your left knee is when you're sitting in the drivers seat was crunched in....and because Joey was sitting there, with his back against the seat, his hips coudnt move back, and with his knee being pushed back with such force, his femur couldnt take it, broke in half, and popped out of the top of his leg....well more like Ripped through the skin....shards of bones...blah blah blah. As far as I know, his body went into shock, and he went unconscious.

Now I know, you're probably wondering what the hell this has to do with anything....Well...to be perfectly honest....I read a comment posted on Natalia's blog, *go read her blog, it's great*...About a motorcycle accident *thanks PopFizz..another awesome blog*....and it made me think of my poor Joey...and it made me think of the things that I am MOST afraid of.....So without further adieu....the list...my biggest fears in life.

1. Bleeding from the eyes - I would think that if you are bleeding...from the EYES....there is soemthing VERY wrong with you, on the inside....I have been trying to think of soemthing to put in this category, but I am at such a loss, that I have NO clue, what would cause you to infact Bleed out of your eyes. I'm interested...if you know.

2. Gangrene - If I have a CUT, you can be sure, that I am immeditaly washing it with soap and water, and then pouring rubbing alcohol all over it, to make sure there are NO germs in it.

3. Compound Fractures - As in the case with Joey, where his femur broke in half and then ripped out of his leg....The THOUGHT of that, makes me shudder. I dont know about you, but I am a firm believer that if my bones are on the outside of my body....it's REALLY going to hurt. I remember being in grade 6, and this kid I have known forever was playing basketball, he jumps up to make a shot, and his forearm hits the rim of the net, and his bone rips out of his wrist....I dont know, but I probably fainted before he did.

4. Burning to death - I am not afraid of death, i'm not afraid to die...i'm sort of curious to see whats after this life....what i'm afraid of, is how it's going to happen. I would LOVE to die in my sleep....just like that, go to bed, and not wake up again. I love my bed, and I love sleeping. What better way to go? If there's any pain, you're sleeping, you dont know. I know how much it hurts when I burn my finger....i cant imagine my entire body....

5. Fish - Yes, i'm afraid of fish...it wasnt an overnight thing either....When I was younger, we used to go to a cottage up north, and my cousin would tell me that there were big fish in the water that would eat my toes off....and of course, this is when I was the only one swimming in the lake...or the time My brother in law asked me to hold his fishing line one day, years later, and of course, a fish bit immediately and I pulled the line out of the water, and asked someone to take the fish off the hook, except it was bleeding, BECAUSE I caught it through the EYEBALL...or when I was 4 and had 2 goldfish that I got for my birthday, who both commit suicide within a week....or the countless nightmares I have about goldfish....Believe me...it's a DEVELOPED fear....there are way more examples.

6. Worms - When I was 2 maybe, I rememebr sitting on the grass in my front yard while my parents did some gardening, I remember it like it was yesterday. I had a blue and red horizontal striped shirt on, with those blue adidas shorts, with the while trim around the edges....and while I was sitting there, a GIGANTIC tomato worm came and crawled on my leg...i've been horrified ever since....and i've never even TOUCHED A worm.

7. The Bear in the Big Blue House - Yes...that stupid puppet bear on tv....that kids show. He's scary...his neck, it looks detached from his body...he's just so big, and wobbly, and looks like he doesnt have a spine..he just CREEPS me out.

They say that the BEST way to overcome fear is to face it head on....well i'm not about to smash my arm on somthing so hard the bones pop out....Or lay in a bathtub full of goldfish....Or watch that Kids tv show....I'm perfectly FINE with my fears to tell you the truth...and as long as i'm never exposed to them...i'm even better.
