#12- What animals frighten you and why?

This is going to be an interesting insight into how my brain works. I apologize in advance to you readers. You can stop reading at any time; I won't be offended. I am not a fan of animals. I can deal with them; but the zoo is the last place on Earth I would rather be. Animals aren't just my thing.

We went to an aquariaum for my summer job and needless to say I had the "fingers down the chalkboard" feeling the entire time. I can't stand animals underwater. Fish, starfish, especially octopus. Some of the creatures don't look right. Watching shows like Deadliest Catch or Hillbilly Handfishing make my skin crawl and I freak out; but for some reason when they are on I can't stop watching them. Go figure that out! I can't stop watching things that gross me out.

Why they freak me out (I think):
  1. Slimy. Similar to human hair grease. Go take a shower...oh wait you can't shower if you live in the water. Duh!
  2. Google octopus. Image search it. It's gross. Eight squirmy suction cup legs are just moving around freely. They are just a head and legs. HEAD AND LEGS. If people were walking around with just head and 8 legs you would totally notice and point them out.
  3. Fake Aliens. A good portion of everything underwater looks like it could have come from another planet. Uranus; possibly?
  4. Eyes. They have creepy eyes. Google octupus eye. DO IT! Gross. Vomit. Blech. Some of you may think it's cool. You would be wrong; you just don't know it yet.
  5. "Cute" fish will grow to become disgusting.
  6. Tails. Fins. Tongues. Fish tongues are gross. Google it.
  7. Fish have teeth that are similar to the ones that reside in my own mouth. NOT NATURAL. Some of them are sharper and some of them have rows of teeth. ROWS! They don't own a toothbrush and are as OCD as me about toothbrushing.
  8. Google gross fish.
  9. I don't even eat seafood.
I am done with a rant.

-This is not only the opinion of the blogger but true fact. I am sorry you don't believe me. Fish are gross.-

#11-Describe what you hear when you hear nothing.

When you hear nothing, do you actually hear something? What is it you hear if it is nothing? Can you hear nothing? What does it mean to hear nothing? And honestly, can one ever not hear anything?

Asking if I have ever heard nothing is asking me whether the grass is green or not. I don't think I have the ability to hear nothing. I think you can be in silence, but there is always something to hear. Currently I am silent, but I can hear the keys of my keyboard on my annoying laptop clicking. I even think that covering my ears I hear things; just in a muted tone though.

*Begin Rant*
Dear Blog Challenge List,
      Pointless questions such as these make me desire to quit your dumb task. Hearing nothing; come on! Let's be a bit more creative. I think that we could come up with more. Maybe when I first read your list you sounded cool; but my newly aquired adult brain believes otherwise. Since I don't have the physical capacitiy to shut my ears off, I believe your question and this response should solidify your stupidity and other unamed terms that I am keeping to myself.
                    Much Obliged,
                                 Kim

#10- If you could build a soundtrack to your life, who would be on it?

A life soundtrack? It seems so complicated. My life is complicated. I'm sensing an Avril Lavigne song coming on....

Here is a random list of songs that I believe are awesome and good times to listen to it. I think a "life soundtrack" at the age of 24 is pointless. I haven't fully lived my life so I have no idea what the music is going to be like when I am even 30; or 50 (shudder).. This also doesn't really help when I have such an eclectic taste in music.
  1. Oh Happiness! by David Crowder
    1. Hello awesome dance music that has a positive message
  2. Celtic Women and Celtic Thunder
    1. Music for a classical music nerd. It also falls in the worldly category because of the Gaelic-ness. I have no idea what some of the songs mean. It could be about how a squirrel ran up a tree and is currently laughing at the person at the bottom who is trying to bring it down with coconuts and squirrels don't eat coconuts.
  3. Children of God- Third Day
    1. Complete with a children singing. I'm a sap for the music video.
  4. The Beatles
    1. I love the Oh-Blah-Di song..and also Twisting and Shouting is difficult while driving.
      1.  
  5. TobyMac
    1. He went from Diverse City to Get Back Up...Still love his tunes though. He even did a song with Skillet!!
  6. For the Price of  a Cup of Tea- Belle and Sebastian
    1. The only words to this song I can pick up minus the obvious ones. "She took her coat from the plastic wrapper, pushed back her fringe to show her birthmark". I have no idea what that has to do with the title.
  7. Newsboys!
    1. Old school. Peter Furhler is a better leader singer than Michael Tait. Power to the Aussies, mate!
  8. David Crowder in general
    1. He is so awesome. I saw him on a rotating stage in Arizona. Fo-he-nix to be exact. The guy has an awesome beard. His drummer also reconfigured a guitar hero controller to play actual chords.

 So...there we go.
     A dip into Kim's musical mind. I can't think of anything else to put on here. Mostly because I don't have all my music with me. Oh..and one more for the band nerds..I played piccolo in this song.



FIN!
