FC, you're missing out bigtime if you haven't seen the movie "Star Trek III:The Wrath of Khan" where Khan puts the Cetial eel in Chekov & his captain's ear. It woooooorks it's way your eustachian tube, and into your brain where it wraps itself around your cerebral cortex, making you "open to suggestion." Earwigs. Earth's version of the Cetian eel? You make the call!

Wow, they're prehensile? Cool! And the info on the candiru? These bits of info will be SURE to cause nightmares, phobias, and depression to all those who were only mildly creeped-out by my earlier entries. >:D

Ah, cockroaches... My pet cockroach just died last month. No, it wasn't the hissing kind you buy in a pet store. It was a wild roach that travelled up to Minnesota in a box full of t-shirts. Either from Missouri or Pennsylvania, I forget which... I caught him, and made him a little cage, where he lived for about a year and a half. Judging by his development at the time I got him, he was well over 2 years old when he died. VERY low-maintenance pet! And I got to watch his final moult, when he finally grew his wings... Beautiful! Muahahahahaha...

Oh my, how did I forget Cockroaches.... They make me ill.

And I hope to never ever encounter any more thankyou very much. If I ever had them in any house I was in, I think I would be sleepless, sitting there with a big bat, going thump crunch splat.

And Little Hawk.... It happens to be gerbils and rats.

Gerbils, because I looked after a neighbours one once, and it bit me hard.

Rats - erghhhhhhhhhhh

Mice/ Voles awww cute

and hamsters v.cute but smelly.

eeeeewwwwwwwwwww roaches...

blurgh heck blurgh heck - and lepus, I think that for having a pet roach, you border on the one sick human title for that one....

keels over at the thought of it...

Things that make you sick to your stomach and things that scare you can be so different though....now what really scares me is irrational panic attacks. Fear of the known is okay, you can work through that. but when you wake up in the middle of the night and are completly and utterly panicked - and you don't know why! now THAT is scary!

Ella, I do not like any rodents, not mice, rats, gophers,rabbits, squirrels, gerbils, beavers, capybaras, etc. etc. I have many bad dreams in which rodents play the role of villan. When studying "The Black Death" in school, I had nightmares for weeks! And in a strange twist of fate, that is now part of what I teach to my 7th grade students! Double AAAAAAAAAARGH!

Oh, sure...First Ella says I'm a sicko, now Susan hates rabbits(Hey, we're LAGOMORPHS!). All because I'm a kind, compassionate guy, who rescued a poor little cockroach. A cockroach that had been trapped in a box for half a week, subjected to the abuse of UPS employees across the nation. For THIS, I am scum? Well, let me say, then, "I'm proud to be a scumbag!" ;)

Little Hawk - My hamster isn't too noisy if I give her carrots to wear down her teeth - she doesn't chew on the bars so much then. And I tied the exercise wheel up of the floor of the cage with a contraption of twist ties and elastic bands. Before I did that the weight of her as she was running would slowly cause the wheel to sink, and it would start rasping against the floor of the cage. VERY LOUD! Especially at 3 o'clock in the morning when you've just finally managed to sleep...

Ella - hamsters smell? I hadn't noticed. (I hope that doesn't mean I smell worse than she does!)

Mosquitoes are the worst for me.
The sound just sets me on edge, and I can't stand them crawling on me. The one good thing from it is that I haven't been bitten by any of them for years, since I'm so hypersensitive I smack them off as soon as they land!
It's really strange, if there's only one or two, sometimes I'm more scared. I guess cause ya never know *when* they're going to come after ya.
Even thinking about them I start shuddering reflexively.

I'm fine with most creepy crawlies, as long as
a) they're not in the house
b) they're in the house but harmless
c) I have a container to catch them in if they're poisonous and inside the house

Spiders are fine (and they eat mosquitoes!), snakes are cool (although we don't have rattlers here), moths just startle me, I love bats, mice are cute but messy, insomnia only scares me when I have to get up early.

I was afraid of a glass once when I was really suicidal. I had a vivid picture of me breaking it and slashing my wrists. That part of my life is over now, and I never want to feel that way again.

I am afraid of cold, too. And crazy drivers. And what I could do if I ever got *really* angry.

Flying (well, crashing, actually). I clutch a ball of hematite when taking off and landing.

Heights with some precariousness to them...rickety ladders and slippery rock cliffs and old abandoned trestle bridges and such.

Centipedes and millipedes.

Nuclear war (not so much since Reagan left office).

That greed and lack of compassion will destroy the human race and the planet.

Litterbugs. I simpy cannot comprehend this behavior. Ergo it frightens me.

Western medicine and be extension, hospitals.

Very deep water.

Rape.

Murder.

Irradiated and genetically-modified food that is not labeled as such.

eh, the usual!

Until last year, I'd only ever had my heart dented. But I had it well and truly shattered last year, and my mind along with it.

I despair of ever being well again... and that frightens me...
