15 things I find scary or creepy

Not sure why I'm making this list, but here I am.

  1. Spider. They scuttle and some can kill you.
  2. The dark. What could be out there?
  3. Insects with a lot of legs in the bathtub. They're always a surprise and it's the worst.
  4. Internet and phones suddenly dying. This has only happened once, but I did think I was in a horror movie.
  5. People staring blankly at you. I just find it unnerving.
  6. Things that look like hands but aren't. Maybe this is uncanny valley stuff?
  7. Mannequins. This one is probably uncanny valley.
  8. A lot of holes next to each other. I forget what this phobia is called, but it makes my teeth feel funny.
  9. When answering machines use the first person. Okay so this only happened once, but I was unnerved when the machine said "I will take your message."
  10. Dreams that are too real. I hate not being able to quite tell when I wake up if it was a dream or not.
  11. Dense fog. I guess this is like the dark in that I can't see what's ahead, but also adds a fantastical element.
  12. Deep water. There are too many things in the ocean.
  13. Heights. Yep I definitely have a fear of heights.
  14. The feeling of being followed. This actually sometimes just happens when I'm going up the stairs and the lower level is dark, but it's unnerving.
  15. The danger noise that squirrels make. I'm sure it has a name, but I don't know what it is, but it feels like something out of a horror movie.

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
