Full of Fun Friday: Fear Has a Name . . .

Did you ever wonder if that fear that you have been harboring since childhood had a clinical name? (No only you would think that way angelmeg) Well thanks to the amazing Internet you can now find out that your irrational fear of vegetables is called Lachanophobia.

Or when you break into a cold sweat every time you think about clowns you are actually suffering from Coulrophobia (not irrational at all if you ask me).

You can read the rest of the list right here on the Phobia Guide.


Pick out one that you think is ridiculous, funny or just downright spooky, and mention it in the comment box (if you dare . . . if you can't you might be suffering from Cenophobia, the fear of new ideas.)

Quiet? Me? Ha!

ISFP - The Artists

The gentle and compassionate type. They are especially attuned their inner values and what other people need. They are not friends of many words and tend to take the worries of the world on their shoulders. They tend to follow the path of least resistance and have to look out not to be taken advantage of.

They often prefer working quietly, behind the scene as a part of a team. They tend to value their friends and family above what they do for a living.

My only comment is ask anyone who knows me and quiet is not the first thing that will come to mind about me. Hmm, curious.

Other than that it pretty much sums up what I am trying to learn and become in my new program, and still trying to be the arsty "type" person creating things with my hands and with my words.

Friday Fun: 2nd Grade AP Reading Mid Term

Here is a link that made me laugh out loud.

I am not sure if I laughed because it was funny or because I think I had this exact teacher in elementary school.

my favorite answer has to be:

#2 What does Max's wolf mask in Where the Wild Things Are represent?

a) a wolf

Teacher's comment: Wolves symbolize capitalism and the masks are respresentative of slavery; the wolf mask is all about Max's white guilt.


h/t to my son the genius who stumbled across this on the internet and couldn't wait to share it with me.
