Anybody seen The Ugly? I saw it with French subtitles (which helped me ken the aussie or whatever they were speaking, I think it was a New Zealand movie) - now that was scary, and I still don't know what was real.

I think I'm the only person on Earth who loves public speaking. Not that I don't get nervous, I just enjoy both the nervousness and the speaking... (you already knew I was weird...)

I am not afraid of mice, but my Dad was - one of my very favorite childhood memories is the night the dogs "treed" a mouse up in the living room curtains during a dinner party. We didn't know it was a mouse, the dogs were barking furiously at the curtains, so somebody shook the curtains and when the mouse flew out, Daddy leaped up onto the coffee table, both feet off the floor - and then immediately got down again and pretended that he hadn't! He never did live that one down.
