Colleen Elmer

have 2 irrational fears:
1) Balloons. I'm terrified that they will pop too close to me and the rubber will smack me in the eye and blind me. I can't pop balloons or be around when they're being popped, and I don't like being too close to them in general.
2) That a plane will or a piece of a plane will fall out of the air and crush me. Whenever I hear a plane go overhead whether I'm outside or inside, but especially inside because then I won't be able to see it, this thought occurs to me. I blame both Donnie Darko and news stories about planes crashing into houses.
