Vulpophobia: Bright Side, There Is No Bright Side, So Go Watch A Movie.

I'm a sucker for movies, especially the old Disney classics. I watched "The Fox And The Hound" last night for the first time since I was probably 5 years old, and it made me cry so much. Then again, I'm a crier, I cry at least once during any movie I see.

As long as it's well done, if it's a terrible movie I might just be crying because it hurts to watch.

"Forever is a long, long time, and time has a way of changing things."

Speaking of phobias-
Wouldn't it be weird if you walked up to a person, opened your mouth to talk, and they turned away or closed their eyes? Or maybe they have a scarf and they stuff it in your mouth or cover your mouth in some way with it, or maybe they ask you to not say anything, and if you do say something they ask that you cover your mouth? If this happened to me, I would probably wonder if maybe I had bad breath, or maybe there is something in my teeth, or perhaps the person is just a little crazy. I wonder if this has happened to anyone, if anyone does this, and the reason I ask is because of cartilogenophobia, the fear of bones.

I was looking up phobias for fun in my spare time at work, found some that amused me such as papyrophobia (fear of paper), barophobia (fear of gravity), and phobophobia (fear of phobias).

Running through the list I ran into cartilogenophobia and began to wonder if the fear of bones included teeth, and that is where the above situation came from. What if someone was so afraid of bones, they couldn't stand to see people talk or smile? That would be pretty hard, you can't ask everyone in the world to cover their mouths, and you can't just decide to go blind so that you won't have to see anything. How would they brush their teeth? They would probably have a hard time walking into a dentist, or even just a doctors office. Biology or human anatomy and physiology would be classes they might not be able to handle. It's just interesting to me, maybe I'll do real research instead of making up assumptions that are probably very wrong. (instead of studying for my finals)

My eyes are closing, I think they are saying that it is time for a nap, but I'm in a library full of people frantically studying for finals (and I should be one of them) so I'm not sure if I can sleep here or not.

I shall say goodbye in two diffeent perspectives:



Optimistic: I will talk to you later, the sun will be shining and you will be reading my blog and maybe I will eat a cookie today and so will you! I hope you have an amazingly terrific day!

Pessimistic: I would say goodbye if there was anyone reading this to even say goodbye to. I would say "talk to you later" but I might die in the next few minutes and then I would be lying. I would say "have a nice day" but really, what's the point? There is no such thing as a nice day.

But I am not pessimistic, for the most part, so have a great day!
