have you googled your fears today?

I just googled SEAMONSTER under images. I am looking for a piece of line art for a sign for tomorrow's sale at Western Market since my new printed sign isn't here yet.

Googling SEAMONSTER is slightly distressing for me because seamonsters are perhaps my greatest fear. In theory, I don't mind even perhaps like seamonsters. I like how they are portrayed in cartoons, scary and cute. I like that flavor. But the reality of something unknown under the water waiting for you is horrifying. I can't even handle those Red Lobster commericals where the water comes rolling over the screen or those Ford commercials where the SUV is getting attacked by sharks. My friend, Matt, showed me this. That poor poor polar bear. That image is from http://goflyingturtle.blogspot.com.

So, googling for seamonster images is making me a little sick. Some people out there love to draw mean mean ugly seamonsters. Eating ships and coming out of the water and just being gooey and gross and huge and green.

I wonder if I will ever get over my fear of seamonsters. I thought that if I named a website, ilikeseamonsters.com, it would help. It hasn't.

Have you googled your number one fear? Do it and tell me what you get.

you guys are too funny. moths and celine dion. the UK is afraid of these two things. hey, emily and sam, aren't you both in the uk? do you know each other?
