Para what?
Paraskavedekatriaphobia.
It took me a whole 4.23 seconds to say the whole word. Yes, I timed. I'm bored and sad, so sue me! Took me ages to type it out too, with all the re-referencing I had to do just to make sure the word is actually right. It means a fear of Friday the 13th, made popular by the Friday the 13th movie featuring the infamous Jason Voorhees - kid tortured at camp for being ugly, drowned at camp and resurrected to start his killing rampage.
There are various historical reasons for the belief that the day is actually considered to be bad luck, which is very unfortunate considering that my boyfriend's birthday is on the 13th, pray it never falls on a Friday la just to be sad. Paradoxically, I don't believe in all that mambo jumbo lar.
But that is really not the point of this post.
Fear. What are you most afraid of?
I am scared of (listed in order, from scariest to scary but boleh tahan):
a. losing the people i love most. family and friends.
b. not being able to accomplish all that I want to accomplish.
c. dying young. i love life too much.
d. disappointing my family.
e. failure. i have never had a major failure during my whole existence.
f. small spaces. Extremely small spaces like coffins and small boxes. Claustrophobia
g. being unsuccessful career wise.
h (i). not being able to have kids.
h (ii). pregnancy.
i (i). heights - altho i do wanna bungee jump and later sky dive to overcome this fear)
i (ii). aeroplanes - partly due to the fact that i fear heights and watch too many plane bombing/assaination movies.
A - E, I am seriously scared off. What is your biggest fear?
