TRUTH- I. Hate. Halloween.

I'm sure you nerds are all screaming 'WHAT?!" 

I know I'm a bad nerd.

Let me explain. Ever since I was little the smallest things would legitimately scare the crap out of me. I had nightmares almost nightly about being chased by some scary man and it didn't help that I was almost kidnapped once (a story for another time).

I've always had a hard time separating reality from fiction. I blame my overactive imagination and the LARGE amount of books I read.

One of my most vivid childhood memories is having my friends hold me down and pry my eyes open to watch Chucky. I shudder even now thinking about it. I used to lock up all of my dolls every night and treat them EXTRA nice just in case they decided to come alive and kill me.

At every sleepover I had my friends would want to watch scary movies and would joke about having to put newspaper down under me. No, I did not pee my pants but that was because I would either curl up in a corner and read a book while they watched these movies or "watch" 90% with my eyes closed. My favorite part? The beginning when everything was all happy happy still.

Even today I can't see any images of Michael Myers (not to be confused with comedian Mike Meyers, though that would be a hilarious fear to have) without having a visible reaction. My bf has had to change the channel VERY quickly a couple of times because he's witnessed how badly I freak out.

I just HATE being scared. I'd rather laugh at a comedy or cry at a drama. Being scared isn't fun to me. I refuse to EVER go to haunted houses or all the theme parks out here in LA during Halloween. I can't even tell you the last scary movie I saw. The trailer for Paranormal Activity 3 scared the SHIT out of me.

While it is fun to get all dressed up, I can't help but dread a holiday that is centered around all things scary. As I get older the fear of failing is a WAY more intense and legitimate one but I still can't get over someone coming at me in a creepy clown mask. #gofigure
