i've been reading/commenting in del's blog... and... it seems there's a lot of people who are all "get over the fear of snakes. it's just a snake..." but.... uh... you can't just be like "ok brain, snakes are harmless. glad we worked that out." i KNOW snakes won't hurt me. i know fish won't hurt me, i know crowds won't hurt me.... but all of those things TERRIFY me. seriously. even thinking of snakes... and i shiver. people have phobias. it's ok. let's not freak out. *is freaking out about it all...* but... i dunno. it's all suddenly looked down upon to hate snakes? what? *sigh*
