No, I feel very strongly about certain issues, and if the candidate had the opposite view.. he/she would push for legislature that I would not want.
Do you have any fears or Phobia's that other people find silly or can't understand why?

Yes. I have a huge vein phobia. Yep, veins. Getting a shot isn't the fear, I have no problem with shots in the muscle part of the arm or the hip, it's the veins on the inside of my wrists, elbows and knees that are sensitive. I can't tell you why or when it started. In high school, the blood bank bus came to the school for blood donations. At the time, to get rid of my fears, I'd try to do the thing that scared me. So I decided to give blood. And get over this silly phobia. So, I tried it. I was about half way through filling up my blood pouch, when everything went dark. I passed out. But don't worry, I still got the free shirt. So that didn't fix the fear. It made it worse. It's just that the skin over the veins in those areas is so thin. My fear, I guess, is that I'll get cut there, and bleed to death. It just seems like such a vulnerable spot on the body. I don't like them to even be touched. I can't wear bracelets. Getting an IV was the absolute worse part of both my deliveries. I also have O- blood. So during any of my pregnancies I have to get a certain shot, in the veins! And I'm usually anemic during my pregnancies, so there is another several shots and blood tests. Years ago, I had to get an MRI. Well, they have to inject dye into your veins. I told them I'd probably pass out when they injected me, so they offered to inject it in my foot veins. That sounded great to me. Boy, was I wrong. It hurt, bad! And, yes, I passed out. You know that Nightmare on Elm Street where they're in the mental hospital, and one guy is being controlled by Freddy using his veins like a puppet on strings? Maybe that's where it started. Don't you judge me! Do you cuss?

e,
I would never make fun of anyone's phobias/fears/anxieties, because I have so many. And even if I know they are irrational, it doesn't mean I'm not freaked out.
I just feel bad for you, because this is one you can't avoid sometimes. Like you said, at the dr., etc. I've heard other people that picture themselves getting cut and bleeding, so that's not as unusual. But you are the first that I've heard that is actually freaked out by your own veins. Poor thing!
Anxieties suck!!!

Yes it is really good. I wont ruin it for anyone. I will say someone does die. I think that Harry definatel starts acting more mature in this movie. The one character that I think everone will hate is that woman with the pink outfits I can't remember her name. She's nuts. I think the funniest character would be Luna. Go and see it. You can definately tell that something big is coming. I hope that I didn't ruin it for anyone. I cant wait till it comes out on dvd.
Have you ever had one of those weeks where at the end you just sit back and shake your head and say what happened?
