Fear Tag


I was tagged by Cherish over at Babybat's Blog. Thanks, Cherish!

Rules:
  • Do this tag with the lights on. You may be facing your worst fears in this room...
  • Answer the questions!
  • Tag however many others as you want and link them in your post.
  • Tell the others you've tagged them on their blogs.
  • If you read their posts and notice you share the same fears, give them a virtual hug. :)
Questions:
  1. Three things you're afraid of for a very good reason (in order).
  2. Three irrational fears of yours (in order).
  3. The medical term for one of your fears.
  4. Are you superstitious in any way?
  5. Are you easily startled?
  6. Do you have any common fears (heights, bugs, etc.)
  7. When you watch horror movies, are you better at dealing with suspense or gore?
  8. Are you afraid of ghosts?
  9. Are you afraid of any animals?
  10. What was your scariest nightmare about?
My Answers
  1. Swimming in the open ocean, feeling helpless, sleep paralysis
  2. Cockroaches, clowns, talking dolls
  3. Katsaridaphobia- fear of cockroaches
  4. I'm not too superstitious. I do "knock on wood" whenever I say things that might jinx me. ;)
  5. I wouldn't say I'm easily startled.
  6. I'm afraid or cockroaches, as listed above. I'm not afraid of other bugs, and I'm not afraid of the dark, heights, etc. 
  7. I can deal with the gore, but a good horror movie has suspense and is very psychological.
  8. I am not afraid of ghosts.
  9. I don't know of any animal I'm afraid of. I've held snakes and rodents of all kinds, but that doesn't mean I'm not cautious around animals that can hurt me. 
  10. The scariest nightmare was my last experience of sleep paralysis when a dark figure stood at the foot of my bed and then strangled me. I woke up struggling for breath. I was a little shaken up after that.

      I hate roaches. They're so bad this year. Sometimes I'll walk into my room at night and discover one on my wall or in my bathroom. At that point I have to call out for somebody else to kill it or flush it down the toilet. haha

    Clowns will forever be creepy, I once went to a haunted house that had a room full of dancing clowns and it was the scariest part!

    Anyway, thanks for tagging me I will be doing this later.

The Obituary Challenge

I've been working in The Writing Studio at Georgia State today, when a worried student came in for some assistance. She was assigned to write an obituary for her Journalism class. This obituary was to be written about the professor of her course. I'd never heard of anyone assigning something like this (probably because it's morbid), but it's very practical to learn for Journalism. From there, I had an idea. I thought what a good tag/challenge it would be for fellow bloggers to write an obituary about themselves. (not to mention a bit of morbid fun) So, Here's the rules: Link back to whoever tagged you. Put these rules in your tag.  Write an obituary about yourself (it can be as funny or as serious as you like). Write about a paragraph or two (or more if necessary) in length. You may tag up to 10 people, and be sure to link to them. Have fun, because creative writing is one of the greatest joys in life!   My Obituary:  Katie, age 18, perished on Septembe...

Pumpkin Spoils

As promised, I have the goodies I made from my pumpkin. Below are the Cajun pumpkin seeds . They're really easy to prepare: Wash the pumpkin seeds in a colander, and dry them with napkins.  Prepare a baking sheet, and spray it with cooking spray (I used butter flavored). Spread out the pumpkin seeds. Cover with salt and Cajun Seasoning. Add to taste. (featured below). Put them in the oven on 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes (making sure to stir them around once or twice) These are the pre-seasoned seeds.  I am very pleased with how the pumpkin seeds turned out. Cajun spices never fail. Next, I started on the pumpkin pie.  * This is enough for two pies. Put on a large pot of water to boil. After it started boiling, Pour the pumpkin meat in and cover with a lid. After you let it boil for twenty minutes or so, drain in a colander.  Put the meat back in the pot, and start mashing (or you can put it in a blender). Add about two ...

Easter Sunday Recipe

Lamentation of Christ is a beautiful painting and a noteworthy example of foreshortening. One of the perks of living in a family that celebrates Easter is food. In fact, since no member of my household actually attends church, Easter really is mostly about the food traditions. It was a lonely holiday this year with just my mother and I at home (come to think of it, Christmas was terribly lonely too!), but that did not stop us from making ungodly amounts of food. I thought I'd share one of my favorite holiday dishes. It was passed down from my grandmother to my mother, and my mother to me. It's called "Heavenly Hash." No, not that kind of hash... Ingredients: 20 oz. can of crushed pineapple 29 oz. can of mandarin oranges 12 oz. jar of maraschino cherries 7 oz. bag of sweetened coconut 1 3/4 bags of 10 oz. "fun marshmallows" 8 oz. sour cream  Simply drain the fruit, cut the cherries in half, and put them in a large bowl. Add the coconut to t...
