Earthquakes were practically considered part of the weather patterns. My biggest concern was that the house we lived in was right next to a major water viaduct. <br /><br />My mom used to tell me helpful things like "Don't worry, if a bomb goes off it will probably burst the dam, and we'll all drown before the radiation will get to us." I am a really crappy swimmer, and I'm terrified of having my head under the water when I can't touch the bottom of the pool. This contributed to years and years of nighmares where I wake up screaming and unable to catch my breath.<br /><br />Good times.

My current list of fears (as a teenager):<br /><br />-I can't cut my toenails properly, and this will somehow cause me to die/have a leg amputated (if it gets like infected...from being to long?)<br /><br />-The world will become a post-apocalyptic wasteland and I will starve to death because I'm not assertive enough to get food<br /><br />-That I will lock myself out of the house while it's raining and maybe catch pneumonia, but my keys were my bag the whole time, so everyone thinks I'm stupid and I can't explain that I'm notreadingnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392421656855310024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697342377352291278.post-59938153462045207882010-11-14T05:29:22.988-08:002010-11-14T05:29:22.988-08:00This list made me laugh because as an (American) c...This list made me laugh because as an (American) child of that era, I can relate to every one of these, other than the separation of Quebec. Ironically, seeing as I grew up in southeastern Michigan, if Quebec had cut its moorings and drifted away, we probably would have felt more of the geographical impact than BC.Ariellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17443471725221760030noreply@blogger.com
