Malls and Phobias

Sunday I went to the mall with Alice. It was fun, we got to see The Pink Panther (hehe) it was pretty funny, kind of like those movies that are so stupid that you actually enjoy it. I can really tell Alice liked it, even when no one else was laughing she was just bursting with laughter, ha!

ok so I think I have some kind of phobia, cuz like every time someone talks about blood or like something inside the human body (such as a vein or nerve) I can't help but be grossed out to the fact that stuff like that is inside of me. And then I start thinking that if I move one inch of myself my veins will like be all smushed together with whatever else is there and explode and then all the blood will burst out of them and I'll die. Oh, and same thing happens when someone touches me. Its soo weird and I know that can't really happen but I think of it anyway and then I get soooo freaked out. I was close to crying during a meeting once cause the talk was on what the bible says towards blood or something rather. So I belive I have Hemophobia (fear of blood) and Chiraptophobia (Fear of being touched) when someone talks about blood. I am so wierd!

Here are some other funny phobias I found today:

• Cacophobia- Fear of ugliness.
• Carnophobia- Fear of meat
• Trichopathophobia or Trichophobia- Fear of hair.
• Zemmiphobia- Fear of the great mole rat.
• Bogyphobia- Fear of the bogeyman
• Geliophobia- Fear of laughter
• Geniophobia- Fear of chins
• Helmintophobia- Fear of being infested with worms
• Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words (i might have that too)
• Ommetaphobia- Fear of eyes
• Lachanophobia - Fear of vegetables
• Ophthalmophobia- Fear of opening one’s eyes
• cyberphobia - fear of computers
  
• Aerophobia- Fear of swallowing air
• Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.

feel free to add any other phobias to the list

So to the cyberphobic, I say, "get over it, or go to the extreme and move away from the city, abandon your car, hand build your home, hand pump your water, build your fires, and hunt for your own food!"

I turned 14 today!

I painted my room!!!

Ok so last Monday I bought some paint for my room, I was so exited I was finally going to paint my room. I was really getting sick of the deep pink on that one wall...so I bought this like red paint for one of the walls and this like light beige color for the other three. I painted all four yesterday (with the help of my mother) and it was really a lot harder than I thought; my hands started aching really fast. The upstairs hallway was full of my junk. It was as if I was moving out or something. hehe

So after a really hard swim practice and bookstudy I had absolutely no energy to pick up anything out of my bed, which included everything from old barbies (yes, I used to be a real hardcore barbie fan) to my book of bible stories in italian(?). So last night i ended up sleeping in the hallway right outside my room along with all my junk. As my mom was walking to her room she stoped and told me i looked like some kind of homeless person. ha!

Ok so....

i haven't blogged in like a really long time....like about six months or so...so i'm like starting again. i guess. I changed the picture and the backround. its a little less pink hehehe. well i have to go but i'll post later!! maybe tomorrow? humm not that i have anything to post about....



ice breakers are soo addicting, i can't stop eating them

How to Turn Down a Nine-Year-Old

Welll a couple of days ago (last Thursday to be exact) I was at swim practice and there was a really bad thunderstorm soo the lifeguard people didn't let us in the pool. So they had us go into this room place and we were gonna do like drylands but instead we watched a movie on swim technique. Then, this little kid comes up to me and he looks about 7 but it turns out he's really 9 (so he says) and he goes "can I be your partner?" and I'm thinking, partner for what?? so I figured he just wanted to sit next to me so I asked him and he was like yes. well then I we were just sitting there and I was talking to some people on the other side of me and this kid starts like talking to me and he says "by the way your really pretty. " and I just think, aw he's so cute. So, then he starts to freak me out a bit after he tells me that he's going to make me a ring and give it to me the next day and when asked me if we could hold hands......yea and all I could come up with is "um no that's ok." well then he asks me if I would go on a date with him....and after I told him that I wouldn't he goes "are you sure?? Cause we can go to olive garden or anywhere you want.....Cause I have a lot of money, I have 2....200....203 dollars!" soo I was just really really freaked out right now by this person that I don't even know the name of, and I really doubt that he knows my name. After that he asks me for my number and I tell him that my parents are too poor to afford any type of phone....So of coarse he gives me his number!! yea I guess this guy can't take no for an answer. well I think I should go back to my schoolwork now. toodles!

Well today....

was a pretty crappy day. I was taking this like science test thingy and it took me like hoooours to finish when I only had a couple of questions left and I clicked on a new tab to look up an answer for this question. (don't worry I wasn't cheating) and for some reason the browser wasn't responding and I had to close it!! sooo all my hard work was lost and I could only access the test once, unless someone like "unlocks" if for me. soooo I'm gonna take it again tomorrow (I hope).
anywhoo after all that I went to swim practice. aand we couldn't get into the pool since it was like raining and there was thunder and lightning so my coach made us run two miles instead of like one and a half that we usually do because we were doing flutter kicks wrong. And the reason I was doing it wrong is because I couldn't like hear her when she was screaming at me cuz it was raining so hard. But the rain actually felt good when I was running. welll then we were finally let into the pool and the main set we did was really hard. we did 12 100's, six of them were back and the other six were free descend 1 to 6 and the back was on 1:45 and the free was on 1:30 which are like really really fast intervals. so I died. and then the lifeguards saw lightning so we didn't even have a chance to warmdown. or stretch after. so basically i'm gonna be really sore tomorrow. but I guess I should be used to it by now. hehe.
well that's all for now.

Here's a picture of me in my wedding dress...but unfortunately my wedding was ruined because it started to rain really hard. o well, i didn't really have anyone to marry anyway hehehe.  

Well meeting the Australian swimmers was pretty sweeet. They were soo nice and I really like their accents hehe. And like this one guy like um the hott one with the brown curly hair was talking to me and he was like soo are you gonna go practice after this and I was like yeaaa and they like asked me how long we practiced for and I was like um only for an hour and he was like oooh just an hour huh and I was like yea well we usually practice from 5-7 but now that you guys are here we only practice for an hour instead of two. And it was funny cause he was like ooh you must like that huh it was soooooooo cute! I swear I could have just sat there and talked to him all night!! hehehe. But I was also disappointed because I didn't get to meet Ian Thorpe =/. cuz he was practicing at this other pool. o well. Maybe next time he's in town.....haha yea right. o yea and to answer Kathy and Alice's questions...I figured out that I had asthma about a month ago, when I had a really hard time breathing when I swam or exercised. It was really like weird, like I was like gasping for air and like it felt like the air just wouldn't make it to my lungs!! But anyways now I have like an inhaler thingy so I feel much better. And its not like regular asthma (my brother has that) its called exercise induce asthma, so I only get it when I exercise. well i should go finish up this movie and go to bed. BYE!!!!!

 

 

Me & Grant Hackett 

Signing our shirts.. 

The people on this table were kinda snobby, but i guess i would be too if i just came out of practice and had to sign autographs for a whole bunch of kids. Although they are tapering for a meet, so they shouldn't be that tired! 

Matt Welsh and some other really hott guy

Australian Swimmer 

Australian Swim Team

Hey!!! well i'm like really exited because the Olympic Australian Swim Team is here in Oviedo. I'm not really sure why, but i think their here for some kind of swim meet....anywhoo their practicing at the pool that I swim at. Yesterday i got to swim practice early to sit on the benches and watch them swim, It was so cool!! They don't let anyone else like near them except for the swimmers on the swim team that i'm in, yesterday i was walking on the pool deck to get to where my swim coach was and some person like told me to get off and that they weren't letting anyone near the pool even though there was already people there!! grr i was mad, but then some other coach said we could go in after a while. They have like so many policemen around for like security and stuff, which kinda freaked me out but they do have some pretty sweet motorcycles!! hehe. But what sucks is that were not allowed to like talk to them, or take pictures of them so we can only watch them swim and dive. But on Tuesday we get to like meet them, take pictures, and get autographs. I can't wait to see all the really good Olympic swimmers like Ian thorpe, Grant Hackett, Jodie Henry, Alice Mills, Libby Lenton, Leisel Jones, Giaan Rooney and some other ones i can't really think of right now. well gotta go, toodles!!

Alrighty well i'm finally putting up a new post, after about a month hehe. umm nothing interesting is really goin on in my life right now. I saw war of the worlds!!! yea it was pretty cool. it did have a wierd phyco person in it though, which freaked me out a bit. and it was kinda depressing since like all the aliens are trying to kill everyone. But they look really cool!!! so anywhoo i got a hair cut, I CAN SURF ON IT!!! (haha kathy) i got like bangs sort of...but their like side swept bangs. well I can't really think of anything to write, so i'm gonna go and look for some pictures to send to alice. bye!

Hey this is kathy and Julia's being a stupid loser and annoying. NO I'M NOT, okay kathy needs to write something "cool." okay well the "cool" thing kathy was writting isn't very APPROPRIATE for this thingy so yea i'm not gonna post it. oooooookay said kathy. anywayz i'm getting hives from the strawberry popsicles we ate yesterday cuz i forgot that i was allergic to strawberries cuz like i found out that i was allergic to them a couple of weeks ago. ok well were gonna go eat (not that kathy has anything to eat in her house!!!!!) and like maybe look for some phyco people in the woods so bye!!

Here's a green swamp thingy that i saw in Yosemite after i hiked up this mountain to see some waterfall upclose. I saw this dead animal thingy in it. well, it was either that or a small log, i'm not quite sure but it still looked gross!
