Hi all!
Thanks so much for the pics! They are great!
I have received the email from Edie about our fears. I think it's great if we could help each other out with these sort of things!
Edie I am scared of spiders... I know it's very common, but that's my phobia... small ones, big ones, hairy, not hairy, I just hate them, hate them, hate them, they move quickly, that's what upsets me, I think. If they moved slowly, perhaps I wouldn't hate them this much... they just freak me out, with these little legs running around... bleah!
Then, it's not really a fear, but I'm sort of disturbed by certain textures, surfaces... like, for instance... aero chocolate, or whatever it's called, the one with the bubbles inside... those bubbles disturb me, somehow, I don't like looking at them... textures which are kind of patterned, that resemble a lunar surface, small holes, little humps... if I can think of another example I'll post again...
Can I also ask you guys to give me some ideas as well?
I'm doing some research on 'tricks' that you can play to your won body, like local anesthesia, for instance... if anyone can think of anything similar it would be great!
Thanks, see you this week!

  1. Fears!

    ohhh. so many. it is really hard to think of what you fear.
    In life I am obsessed with relationships, maintaining them, breaking them, undoing them, fixing them, re-visiting them. The fear of loosing people i love is something that i cannot fix, it is with me, i must embrace it then.

    In art my fear would be not being able to hide. to be totally discoverable at all times.

  2. Elena,

    What about this: when I was about 14, we used to meet up at the courtyard of a kindergarten, and hung out smoking, drinking, playing cards, chatting, crying, gossiping, and all that. What we also did was fainting. This is how to. You stand against a red brick wall, facing it. Your mates, say 3-4, will put their hands over your back and push you against the wall really really hard, until you black out. You then fall on the ground, the slump softened by your mates' hands, and the first thing you see is their faces looking at you. Then you get up, and it's somone else's turn.

    A bit of fainting is kind of anaesthetic, eh?
