Fears

I am coming to realize that I have a severe fear of traffic lights falling on me. When they are blowing in the wind...they look scary! They are Huge and heavy and flying all over the place attached only by some small little pole or something...why wouldn't they fall! I find myself starring at them before I go under and I envisioning them falling right on my car. It's not a fun picture. That would be an awful way to go, death by falling street light! UGH. I think this fear is getting more and more irrational, but I can't stop thinking about it when I am driving. I am also afraid of birds pooping on my head - this has happened to me twice before so not so irrational - now I run and dodge for cover when the squawking beasts fly over me.

My other severe fear, which is better now that I am not living in Seattle and driving on the 520 Bridge everyday, is a bridge collapsing and me being in my car going down in the water... I have asked Jared for one of those seat-belt cutting, window smashing things for like 3 years...again more relevant when I was in Seattle. I used to drive over the 520 Bridge with my hand on the window things so that as soon as I felt/saw the bridge breaking I could start rolling down the windows, before the power windows stopped working and I was screwed. I would always think how would I get out, how would I get Duke out, I would seriously get all hot and bothered thinking about it. Especially if I had Duke with me I would get super anxious sometime and minorly freak out. A lot of times with Duke I would roll down the windows, no matter what the weather just to make sure we could both get out. WHEW, I am having anxiety just thinking about this again!

See it happens!
