Well, I hate to admit it, but I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and get afraid that demons are gonna get me. I heard so many horror stories when I was in the borg, even though the rational (waking) part of me rejects the demonism b.s., when I'm half asleep I'm often terrified. So, I often sleep with the radio on very low, and a night light, although why these things should deter demons sort of escapes me.
Also, I'm scared to death of germs. When I was a kid, the teacher brought in a bunch of petri dishes with some kind of a gel in them. Every kid in my class touched one, with just the tip of their finger. A few days later, we looked at the dishes, and they were all covered in this putrescent, rotty, moldy looking gunk, which was a thriving colony of what was living on our fingers. This visual, coupled with the fact that a majority of people don't wash their hands in public restrooms, and then go around touching things, has helped my fear to blossom into an obsession. I would wear gloves at all times, if it wouldn't make me look crazy, but I settle for lots of tiny bottles of antibacterial hand gel and a no-handshakes policy.
Damn, seeing this stuff in print really makes me sound crazy. I guess it's all relative, though, I mean, there are people lots worse off than me. Right?
