Day 26 – Your fears
Fears? Me? HA! I have no fears!
*crickets chirping*
Okay, majorly untrue. :P I have a fear of trusting people...that sounds weird when I write it out. It's just that I do not trust people very easily, and at times, am afraid to confide in people.
I have a fear of driving. *sigh* There. My stupidest fear. I just can't like driving that much. :/ I freak myself out. If that tells you how well my driving skills are!
I have no idea if I have any phobias...for all I know, I could be claustrophobic...nah, I know I'm not from hiding in closets and under beds. ;)
I'm not really scared of spiders...nah, I can't say I'm scared of them at all. Sure I'd shudder and freak if I found a Black Widow crawling on me, but I'm not exactly the screaming type. ;) But I do hate spiders...naaaaaaaaasty things. I'm not afraid to touch them though...and I have no qualms about squashing them. :P
I used to have a fear of answering the phone. (Don't mock! :P)
So yup...I think that cover's fear.
Oh, wait...wait! I know what my greatest beyond alllll great fears is.
A coffee-less world.
*shudder*
Can you IMAGINE that? I don't even WANT to! Horrible thought!

Day 25 – A first
A first...hm...which first though? lol. My first piano lesson? My first time driving? My first time knitting? My first time writing? My first time using Booth? My first time reading? There are too many firsts to choose from!
How about my first time driving? Should be amusing enough. I was...17? My sister drove me out to Walmart one summer night, so that I could practice in the nearly empty back parking lot. We switched seats, and she made sure I knew where everything was.
"Okay, go ahead." she said.
I stepped on the gas. Whoa. It REALLY makes you go if you REALLY step on it. Whoops.
I step on the brake and immediately lift my foot back up.
"Keep your foot on the brake!!!"
Whoops!
Finally I got more and more the hang of actually driving and braking...I won't say smoothly, because it was waaaaaay off from being anywhere near smooth. :P
After a bit, Krista had me drive down towards the front of the lot, where cars were still parked and people were walking in and out of WallyWorld. I went up and down the lot, only nearly hit one guy. And enduring the smiles from a Walmart employee who was taking a break outside, watching me...she obviously could tell I was new at it. :P I only nearly hit a few cars, and ran over one curb.
All in all, I think I did alright. lol. Okay, so I stank, but it WAS my first time ever behind the wheel. :P

Day 24 – Something that makes you cry
Someone being angry at me. :P WWII movies where the best character dies (why do nearly all the best characters die in WWII movies?? *sigh*). And music. :) Hans Zimmer's "Tennessee" can make me cry, Thomas Newman's "The Letter That Never Came" can, Ludovico Einaudi's "Nuvole Bianche" can, tracks from the "Saints & Soldiers" soundtrack can...all good pieces, by the way! :P Being depressed can make me cry! :D Extreme pain can make me cry! And, hey, I'm a gal...sometimes I just cry cuz I want to. :P But. I refuuuuuuse to cry in FRONT of people. :P

Day 23 – Something that makes you feel better
Usually something very simple, like getting an "I love ya!" text from one of my best friends, or a letter in the mail, or a friend posting a hug to me on my Facebook wall...now, if I'm really upset, then a phone call from a bestie really perks me up. :) Especially if that bestie knows just what to say to make me feel better...(Hint: makin me laugh is always a big plus. *wink*). And if I can't get a phone call, then writing or doing some photography or playing the piano....there are different things that make me feel better. :)

Day 22 – Something that upsets you
Anger. It freaks me out. It makes me want to curl up into a ball and disappear. It makes me cry. Can't stand it...plaaaaain and simple. And it's worse when it's directed at me. So...yup, don't get angry at me. :P

Day 21 – Another moment
Another one? Hm...well, not much of a moment, but...
It was my second year of participating in NaNoWriMo, and it was Thanksgiving day. I had finished helping clean up the house in preparation for Thanksgiving dinner with the fam. I was curled up on the recliner in the corner, notebook on lap, and pen in hand, scribbling away as quickly as I could. I finally figured out exactly what I wanted to write, and then I was done. I counted my words to make sure, and yup. I had did it. I had written 50,000 words in less than a month's time. You'd better believe I jumped up and down, squealing...then rushed off to make sure my entire family found out. Maybe you've never participated in NaNoWriMo...if not, then you can't understand how THRILLING it is to win for the first time. :D It's amazingly good fun. :D And I was so impressed with myself...that I actually was able to do it! 50,000 words in one month always seemed impossible to me before. Heh. Now it sounds easy. *sheepish* And this year it's going to be 150,000 words for me. :D

Day 20 – This month
Actually, it's a new month! Hopefully a better month! :) I love new beginnings...they're like a brand new notebook, and we allllllll know how much I LOOOOOVE brand, new notebooks. :D
This month will hold (I hope):
My birthday party...yes, I'm celebrating early this year, as Columbus Day worked out better for my friends than Veteran's Day...and what's a party without my friends??!
Planning for NANOWRIMO!!! Only 30 more daaaaaaaaaaaaays! (Not counting today, of course!)
Keeping up with my journal. I've been writing in it pretty steadily for the past month, and I want to keep that up. I really should say I've been updating it pretty steadily, because for the last week or so, it's been hard to write. Words haven't been coming at all, which is way abnormal for me.
Hopefully learn to control my emotions. Way too emotional and angry and upset lately. Gah.
My parent's anniversary is Sunday! Whoops! Don't have a card for them yet! Ack!!!
Dad's and Victoria's birthdays! No presents for them yet. *sigh*
Crocheting. Blankets, hopefully. :)
And that's all for now! By the end of this month, we'll really see what'll have happened! :D
Happy October!
