Well, my mom went back to work on Tuesday. Tuesday and Wednesday were mainly days she sat since she had classes\/meetings\/conferences\/? in town. Thursday she car pooled with someone to her usual workplace and seemed to do fine.
\nDad is his usual self as far as I know and I know little about my e-brother and sister. My second brother however has an extreme likelihood of getting his old job back at the newspaper here. It isn’t certain, but his chances are like 99%. If he does get his job back, I hope he knows how lucky he is. Such a thing doesn’t happen often in life I am sure. If he does get it, hopefully that will mean he won’t be leeching as much to not at all.
\nI got another email from my friend and while her life seems just as disheartening (and then some) as usual, it is good to “hear” from her. I just wish I could make her and her sister’s life better. The best I can do is be there if either needs to send an email to vent.<\/p>\n

I Fear\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
[ ] the dark (I’m more afraid of what is in it.)
\n[ ] staying single forever (I like being single.)
\n[x] being a parent (It is more for the sake of both the child and me.)
\n[x] giving birth (I am in awe of my mom.)
\n[ ] being myself in front of others (I don’t know how to not be myself.)
\n[ ] open spaces (Huh?)
\n[ ] closed spaces (Okay.)
\n[ ] heights (Not the height, just the fall.)
\n[ ] dogs (They annoy me rather than scare.)
\n[ ] birds (I am fond of them.)
\n[ ] fish (I won’t eat them if that is what you mean.)
\n[ ] spiders (I usually kill them whether they are poisonous or not since I really can’t tell.)
\n[ ] flowers or other plants (Nah.)<\/p>\n
Total so far: 2<\/p>\n
[ ] being touched (Not really. i just don’t like it from most. Also, I prefer a warning.)
\n[ ] fire (I fear the possible burn, but not the fire…)
\n[ ] deep water (Water is fine, shark and other such things… no.)
\n[ ] snakes (I don’t mind them, but if it is poisonous or will choke me… no thank you.)
\n[ ] silk (Nah.)
\n[ ] the ocean (It is more the case of what is in the ocean… you know, trash, people and sea life’s bodily waste, etc…)
\n[x] failure (Failing my parents, likely.)
\n[ ] success (I don’t really care about goals or aspirations.)
\n[ ] thunder\/lightning (I wouldn’t want to be electrocuted though.)
\n[ ] frogs\/toads (I won’t touch them, but they are fine.)
\n[ ] my boyfriends\/girlfriends dad (Don’t want one.)
\n[ ] boyfriends\/girlfriends mom (No significant other for me.)
\n[ ] rats (That is my mom’s fear…)
\n[ ] jumping from high places (If it is out of my own will, no. If someone is holding me at gun point over a steep cliff, yes.)
\n[ ] snow (Nah.)<\/p>\n
Total so far: 3<\/p>\n
[ ] rain (Love it unless it floods.)
\n[ ] wind (Love it unless it is at dangerous speeds.)
\n[ ] crossing hanging bridges (Huh?)
\n[ ] death (Not really. It is the dying part that I wonder about – you know, how one is going to die. I don’t want a painful death.)
\n[ ] heaven (The whole thing with flying in the clouds… isn’t it freaking cold up there?)
\n[ ] being robbed (I’d hate losing my stuff, but as long as they don’t hurt me or my family…)
\n[x] falling (Sort of… falls can often lead to pain.)
\n[ ] clowns (I’ve never really met one, but at most I’d probably be annoyed if he\/she is loud or bothering me.)
\n[ ] dolls (My sister collected them.)
\n[ ] large crowds of people (Not really. I just fear the stimuli since I will often get headaches from it. Possibly have a break down even…)
\n[ ] men (Not unless it is a rapist, murderer or some such.)
\n[ ] women (Not unless it is a rapist, murderer or some such.)
\n[x] having great responsibilities (Great responsibilities nearly killed me.)
\n[ ] doctors, including dentists (I’m used to them.)
\n[x] tornadoes (Heck yeah.)<\/p>\n
Total so far: 6<\/p>\n
[x] hurricanes (Heck yeah.)
\n[x] incurable diseases (Who wouldn’t be?)
\n[x] sharks (Yeah. I’d be fine simply looking at one from a boat or aquarium, but being stuck in the water with such… meh…)
\n[ ] Friday the 13th (My birthday occasionally falls on it. I like the number 13.)
\n[ ] ghosts (Unless a ghost could hurt me, no.)
\n[x] poverty (All logic says I should be and I’d hate it if my parents fell into such. As for myself… I figure it would just mean I’d die on the streets.)
\n[ ] Halloween (I rather enjoy the decorations… The trick-or-treaters annoy me though.)
\n[ ] school (I hate it. I fear the people in the building more than the school.)
\n[ ] trains (I’ve never been necessarily near one. No, though.)
\n[ ] odd numbers (Odd is nice.)
\n[ ] even numbers (Even can be nice too.)
\n[x] being alone (Humans require contact with others.)
\n[x] becoming blind (Since I have the fortune to see, I’d hate to lose it.)
\n[x] becoming deaf (I enjoy music too much – selfish, I know.)
\n[ ] growing up (Eh?)<\/p>\n
Total so far: 13<\/p>\n
[x] creepy noises in the night (I usually just wait it out though until I figure out what it is.)
\n[x] bee stings (It’d suck and I have no idea if I’m allergic… I avoid bees.)
\n[ ] not accomplishing my dreams\/goals (I don’t really have any dreams or goals.)
\n[ ] needles (I’m used to them.)
\n[ ] blood (Use to it.)
\n[ ] dinosaurs (If I met one in real life, though, yeah.)
\n[ ] the welcome mat (Heh.)
\n[x] high speed (Depends on the situation, but in the over all scheme, yeah.)
\n[ ] throwing up (It hurts my throat, but that is all.)
\n[ ] falling in love (It would be burdensome, but I don’t fear it.)
\n[ ] super secrets (If I can’t keep it, I will say so. If it is mine, I likely won’t tell.)<\/p>\n
Total: 16<\/p>\n
If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling
\nIf you get more than 20, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re paranoid.
\nIf you get 10-20, you are normal.
\nIf you get 10 or less, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re fearless.
\nPeople who don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have any are liars.<\/p>\n
