4 Fears

• Monophobia (fear of being alone) - I love the quiet moments of solitude, but I think there is this latent fear of being alone especially when surrounded by people who are not alone. I think this is also tied directly to my sense of ochlophobia (fear of crowds) - I can't stand wandering through crowds unless I have someone I know and trust right behind me. This also of course might actually be Anuptaphobia (fear of staying single)... but I'm not sure that's really as big of a fear for me as it used to be.
• Claustrophobia (fear of small spaces) - This is made even more acute when I am in an elevator (remnants of watching Ghost Dad too much as a child), and even worse if there are lots of people in the elevator.
• Nyctophobia (fear of night or darkness) - Clarification, it is not actually the night that I am afraid of, but of the strange sounds that my imagination places in the darkness... Sometimes it totally sucks having a hyperactive imagination!
• Arithmophobia (fear of numbers) - Not gonna lie, that's just how it is. Basically all things math...
• (This is a cool website. You might be surprised what fears actually have real "phobia" names. For example, fear of the number 666 is Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia - which I must admit is a really cool word; fear of chins is Geniophobia; fear of France or French things is Francophobia; and Papyrophobia, which is the fear of paper. There's some pretty crazy stuff...)

4 Current Obsessions or Collections

• I collect Thimballs (my one on-going collection) Cows, and Wolves (tho both are mostly a thing of the past... probably because I have so many cow and wolf nick-knacks already.)
• I am completely, unconditionally, and - at times - uncontrollably addicted to Fritos.
• I am also considered a bibliophile, a person that loves and collects books. The rare thing is that I also actually read all of my books... something that not all bibliophiles do.
• I love playing ultimate frisbee.

4 Surprising Facts

• My first surprising fact is that I don't really think that I'm that surprising of a person. I'm a "what you see is what you get" person, pretty genuine through and through. Is that surprising?
• I really miss doing yard work and having a garden. (This is surprising considering how much I complained about these "chores" when younger... but not really surprising if you've been to my apartment and seen my collection of plants.)
• I really love vegetables, even the ones no one really likes - brussels sprouts, spinach, cabbage, asparagus.
• I'm clinically not supposed to eat pizza.
