: 1. Name or explain a childhood fear - sharks, thats current but it all started when Jaws was first shown on British tv. The tv guide featured the pic of the girl water ski-ing with Jaws rising up behind her and it freaked me the fuck out. Anyway, I was having a little snooze on the sofa and my sister put the picture infront of my face and shouted "Lisa! Wake up!!" - I had to make my mum burn it on the fire!
:
: 2. What is one of your biggest fears in life now? Sharks (because, y'know - you get so many great whites in the uk!!)
:
: 3. What's the scariest/most disturbing film you've ever seen in the tenure of your life? I mean, this stunk in your head days afterwards(As for Jaws...The film itself didn't bother me that much, it was the picture). The most disturbing film is probably Texas Chainsaw, for the scene where the grandfather is trying to hit the girls head with the hammer and shes just screaming, it was horrible, like a snuff movie.
:
: 4. What do you do to take your mind off of things that upset you? I can't, my imagination ALWAYS gets the better of me, I have to last it out.
: 5. Do you do anything somewhat superstitious "just in case?" Explain. I always salute magpies, everyone does that round here.
:
: 6. Name or explain something dangerous you've done that you knew was dangerous. Drugs.
:
: 7. Very morbid question: Have you ever been in a situation where the thought crossed your mind, even if for a brief moment, that you might honestly die (i.e. surgery, accident, gun to your head, etc)? Explain if you feel up to it. I've nearly been run over a few times on my bike - also giving birth to my daughter. My sons birth was relatively easy, but Ruby!! Shit...never again!! We were both ill and it was very scary, she ended up in special care.
: 8. Tension breaker question: If you were a super hero, what would your weakness be? Ben and Jerrys!!!!!!!!
:
: Yes, I read every answer.
Jolly good
