<p>I’m generally pretty fearless. I love animals (snakes and rodents included…in varying degrees of affection…) and I love heights.</p>
<p>But I have this really really really irrational fear. It’s so scary to me that I literally get shivers whenever I see it… I get really terrified and I feel like I’m the smallest person ever. And I need a hug :[</p>
<p>It’s a long story. So as I said, I love animals and I had this cute little goldfish (white fantail). Fantails look like beachballs with a tail and I’ve had it for three years so it was pretty large. Then one day, it developed this pinecone disease which caused ALL of it’s scales to stand straight up. I was only curious the first time I saw it and I spent a lot of time just looking at him. You could see the skin and all the little scales standing up in a row. </p>
<p>I don’t know, but now the image of it is just etched into my mind. Anything that has a similar pattern scares me like hell. Examples: freshly cooked rice, a bunch of staples stapled close together, …etc</p>
