More about my anxiety issues
By AmyMo on Apr 3, 2007 in Life
AmyMo: Part of it is that I’m scared of cars.
AmyMo: I find engines terrifying.
OSUJenn: yeah they’re expensive
AmyMo: They can kill you!
AmyMo: They explode and shit spews out of them and they have belts and shit!
OSUJenn: lol
AmyMo: And the man dropped my brake fluid lid down inside my running engine and then shoved his arm down in there!
OSUJenn: i’m cracking up
AmyMo: And I nearly peed.
OSUJenn: omg
AmyMo: You don’t put your hand inside a car engine!!
AmyMo: Except that if you’re a guy who works on cars. You totally do.
AmyMo: But I could have fainted away dead at the suggestion.
AmyMo: But I refuse to be crippled by fear!
AmyMo: The whole experience was killing me last night. Ellen kept saying, oh no, you’ve got BIG eyes! Because apparently my eyes opened wider with each concerning remark from under the car and each fumbled tool and knocked over implement.
AmyMo: It was a like there was a jack under my eyelids.
OSUJenn: lol
OSUJenn: that’s hilarious
OSUJenn: seriously
OSUJenn: Sarah lost the lid to something in our car at one point….it was anxious
AmyMo: Julie did have the grace to get me a beer.
AmyMo: Which helped a little.
OSUJenn: lol
AmyMo: Things should not fall into engines.
AmyMo: And you don’t put your hand in a hole.
AmyMo: Those are very important rules I have.
AmyMo: But I’m perfectly happy to walk on grates in the sidewalk. Which drives Julie fucking nuts to the point where she will grab me and drag me off of them.
AmyMo: And it occurs to me that this chat is probably way funnier than my blog entry from last night and I should post it somewhere.
OSUJenn: ::snort::
OSUJenn: the hand in the hole thing is my favorite
OSUJenn: but only because my dog races into holes
AmyMo: !!
AmyMo: Holes are bad!
OSUJenn: and doesn’t think twice
OSUJenn: not all of them are bad, but they could be
AmyMo: There are things inside of them that will grab you!!
AmyMo: Well, erm. Right.
OSUJenn:: sophie wants to grab the things inside them
OSUJenn: AMY I didn’ tmean it that way
AmyMo: But Sophie can put her FACE in.
AmyMo: She can see the things!
AmyMo: sorry. snort
AmyMo: Hands go in blind!
AmyMo: This is an issue for me. It was an ongoing subject of terror during nearly every episode of the X-Files.
OSUJenn: oh.
OSUJenn: xfiles scared me
AmyMo: My friends were so used to me freaking out about it that they would yell it before I did.
AmyMo: YOU DON’T STICK YOUR HAND IN THE HOLE!!!
OSUJenn: LOL
“Sarah lost the lid to something in our car at one point…it was anxious.”

Yeah, I could see this being the source of considerable anxiety for you…

Heh. OK, yes, that was in fact much funnier than the other post.
My dad yelled at me once for sticking my hand in an underwater hole. He pointed out that things like eels live in those holes, and eels have lots of sharp pointy TEETH.
So, anyway, yeah — holes = bad.
