Why do we like being scared?

[Iwritecode]

In a book that scared me

Spoiler:

In Insomnia when Ralph and Lois are in Atropos's lair, and there looking at all of his possesions, and they instantly know how the person died. And Ralph sees a sneaker, and sees that a little boy dropped to the bottom of a well, and his last thought was about ice cream, that was just too creepy for me.

I remember reading something similiar in The Stand.


My biggest fear right now is not being able to find a new job before my current one goes away and losing nearly everything I've worked for over the past decade.

I was reading Dracula in high school and it was when Harker crept into Dracula's lair, opened his coffin and was going to kill him with the shovel. I was so into this scene and so absorbed in it that, when I read Dracula suddenly opens his eyes my phone rang at that exact same moment and I jumped off my bed in a good scare.

Was a great moment.

Drowning. I sometimes dream I am drowning and when I wake up I'm holding my breath. Weird when that happens.

Same here. Do you think its related to sleep apnia*?

*I just realized I've never seen this in print and have no idea how to spell it.

It's apnea, Ryan.

There definitely appears to be a correlation of some sort there. This is just from a cursory search though.

No problem! Look up there's more.

Further obliged my friend. And no, I will not let you examine me the next time we hang out.

I honestly don't know. It hasn't happened in a long time, but it is really strange when it does happen.

As much as I like you, Ryan I think I'll leave the examining to the obscurejude fan club.

I've had a number of friends die over the past 10 years or so. Almost all of the deaths were car accidents or drunk driving or overdoses...that kind of thing. And the same goes for a few cousins.
A few years back, a good friend of mine died very suddenly of a serious heart attack at the age of 34. Since then, my biggest fear is that Justin will suddenly die.

What I'm definitely most scared of, is becoming blind. Ack! You see, I'm profoundly deaf, been since I was born. I use sign language and I live a perfectly normal life. But if I would become blind.. I simply wouldn't have a will to live anymore. Two main senses gone, and having to be completely dependent of other people's help. I know, you can get used to it, but.. Just no, no, no. It would be like being buried alive. Just IMO. Or maybe I'm just a weak person. =P
