Things That Make Me Nervous #12: Weird Freaking Noises Outside My Window at 4:15 AM
Uhhhhhhh…what was that? And I know I’m not the only one that heard it, because the dog took off running down the hall. And my light’s on, so I can’t see out the window, so I can’t see what’s out there and I’m not sure if that’s better than knowing or not…
Things That Make Me Nervous #11: Showers
Don’t let the photo fool you—I don’t think I’m going to get stabbed to death by a crazy man dressed like his mother. I do however, every time step foot into a shower, have to remind myself that the likelihood of me slipping, getting tangled up in the shower curtain, falling, breaking my neck, drowning, and being found dead and naked is slim to none and that millions of people everywhere have come out of the shower alive today. But I still get a little anxious about them.

Things That Make Me Nervous #10: Crossing The Street
Every time I cross a street, I sing to myself “Pedestrians have the right of way” to remind myself that when I get hit, I can sue. I look right, left, right, left, and right again before crossing. And usually there wasn’t a car, but I’ve waited long enough that there is a car, and then I really have to wait before making it closer to my destination. I’m just convinced that some day, I’m going to get hit by a car. Maybe this coincides with Things That Make Me Nervous #1: Driving.
Things That Make Me Nervous #9: Spiders
These things don’t scare me so much as they make me anticipate their every move. They’re shifty eight legged suckers. Nothing good can come out of something with more than four legs. And four is pushing it…
Things That Make Me Nervous #8: Costume Parties
What if no one else was told it was a costume party? What if you are the only one that takes it to the extreme costume level? What if you are the only one who didn’t realize it was a themed costume party? Oh, good lord. What if you are Lindsay Lohan and don’t realize you’re supposed to dress up like a slut?!
Things That Make Me Nervous #7: Large Amounts of Any Animal In One Location
You just never know when they will regroup and decide to destroy everything in their path.
Things That Make Me Nervous #6: Small Dogs
Most dogs make me nervous, but it’s the small ones that can honestly make me cry. They look cute and innocent, but they jump and they can tear your face off. And some day…they will.
Things That Make Me Nervous #5: Talking On The Phone
“Hello?”
“Hi…uh…This is uh… Hi… Uhm…”
“…Sarah?”

Things That Make Me Nervous #3: Riding A Bike
I have no sense of balance and this thing doesn’t have seatbelts. Never going to happen.
Things That Make Me Nervous #4: Hotel Room Floors
I can’t even fathom the disgust that is found on the floors of hotels. I wear my shoes the whole time until I go to bed and then in the morning I shower and get ready as fast as possible and block out all thoughts of germs until my shoes are back on again. I will NOT be a victim of some disease found in carpet at a Motel 8.
