Fears

One of my biggest fears would have to be spiders. It is a completely irrational fear, but for me spiders are terrifying. There have been times when I have been riding in the car with my dad and one has creeped up close to me and I make him pull the car over and kill it. I think that may be one of the things that creeps me out the most about them, the fact that you never notice them until they are incredibly close or even on you. I have gotten braver though, I killed one with the umbrella in my car just a few weeks ago and I was pretty darn proud of myself. I must say that i was not too excited when you first told us you kept your pet spider Dorthy in the class. But since I never see her and shes in a case, I guess I am ok with it. Another fear that I used to have when I was little was of somebody breaking into my house. I think i got this fear from happening upon my parents watching scary movies when I was young, like one time I walked into the living room while my mom was watching Silence of the Lambs and that scarred me for life. But I outgrew this fear because I live like in the middle of nowhere and my house is pretty safe. But I dont know what can get me over my fear of spiders.
