What's your heebeez - Page 4

Elspode · 08-27-2005, 12:48 PM

My biggest irrational fear, the thing that gives me that feeling of my stomach having suddenly dropped out of my abdomen, is learning that I've unintentionally injured someone...hurt their feelings, disappointed them.

I think my mom really laid some seriously subtle guilt on me when I was growing up.

The only thing that gives me the heebee-jeebees are bees/wasps/hornets. I got stung eleven times at once when I was five, then three hornet stings at once when I was 11, so now I either have to kill them or leave the room- I can't stand them buzzing around.

I have always had a deep fear of things under the water.... then I learned how to dive. My heart is pounding pretty much the whole time I am under the water, but I am getting over it bit by bit. I still have really deep-seated fears about certain things under the water that I will never go near (sunken boats).

I hate heights. The thought of being on a ledge, or a bridge with nothing to hang on to just freaks me out.

Oh, and vampires. I can't handle movies or books that have vampires or human/creatures with sharp teeth or scary eyes.

When we went to the Imax theater at Universal City to watch Van Helsing, I ended up falling asleep because I spent most of the movie with my eyes closed!

Yeah, I'm a loser.....

Biting down on even the tiniest bit of aluminum foil where I have fillings....:shivers: Freaks me out even to write about it.

I just redicovered another heebs that I have this weekend. The idea of having my blood circulation cut off somewhere on my body (even just the idea). I always get sqirmey and weirded-out when I get my blood pressure taken. It's the idea that blood flow has now stopped in my arm and that idea just creeps me out. I was standing next to one of those blood pressure machines in Fry's this weekend and my kids were interested in what it did, so I showed them. I had to keep from nawing my own arm off when that cuff inflated around my arm. And then, because I was moving around so much, this "Test Interrupted, restarting Test" light kept flashing which made things even worse. There was also this story my friend told my about how he recently choked out his 12 year old son by accedent. His son was sitting in a chair and he was standing above/behind him with both hands on both sides of his neck, you know like giving him a message. Well, apparently, he had pressure on both sides of his neck at the juggler or something becuase the kid just passed out, cold. They had to revive me three time durning the telling of that story.

OK, I waited long enough. I have to ask. If your deathly afraid of vampires, why on earth did you go and see a vampire movie at all places an IMAX theater where the screens make people 9 million times larger than normal people?

This is like me going to a button convention (refer to orignal post #1 this thread)

I can't speak for seakdivers but, like Glatt, I get the heebeez from heights in certain situations, and sometimes subject myself to it for the sensation.

NICOTINEGUN · 09-01-2005, 04:25 PM

Clenching your jaw down on a piece of velvet and pulling it through your teeth from one side to the other.

Umpa Loompas-the old ones, not the new ones that are just one Indian guy.

Running your front two teeth over a chalk bored

Being Curbed like in American History X-"You fucked with the wrong Bolt."

The Exorcist girl

Sharting-yes, you know what I'm talking about.

Mud Skippers-they bite!!

Hearing a chainsaw somewhere off in the forest on a very dark night while camping.

The horrifying thing of all time-FURBIES

seakdivers · 09-01-2005, 04:43 PM

Hobbs - good question. I didn't want to see it to start with, but after a few beers the Hard Rock in Universal Studios, I was sure I could handle it.

Come to think of it, maybe it was the beer that made me fall asleep..... hmmm... I may have to repeat the experiment to know for sure!

Errrrm...... there's got to be a good story behind that one!

I was thinking that sounded kind of fun, actually. Very tactile.
