Because Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is Such a Fabulous Word

It’s been a pretty stressful couple of weeks here in the land of Shakespeare. Matter of fact, I’ve become rather brooding and significantly less perky than norm (and by George, I wasn’t really all that perky to start with)… And I won’t even begin to describe the effect that said stress has had on my body (but then again eating my weight in Starbucks’ Java Chip topped with chocolate sauce and crushed Valium as a means of self-soothing probably would cause a similar reaction in most everybody).

But thanks to the subsequent bloating, break-outs, and random bouts of tear fests over the loss of my grandmother (Again, a sincere thanks to all of you who offered your thoughts, kind words, and condolences. You  mean the world to me.); I’ve become somewhat of a semi-agoraphobic lately.

With perhaps a bit of ablutophobia and catoptrophobia on the side.

But have no fear! I think that it’s pretty safe to say that I’ve completely avoided  the cathisophobia during this brief hypochondriac moment, as I’ve done nothing but sit around on my jiggly Java Chip-filled arse and watch movies while simultaneously looking up new things to be afraid of via the magnificently thorough Phobia List found here.

Go ahead, go look those up, you know you want to… I’ll wait.

Waiting.

Still waiting.

Dude, seriously, it’s an alphabetical list. Hurry the fudge up already.

Are you done? Great! Now go back and look up macrophopia- because you just completely ruined my day.

(I know I’ve missed a lot lately- but I’ll do some catching up this afternoon. Oh! And remember that giveaway I mentioned in my last post? Remember? C’mon… think hard! Well, I’ll be posting it on the morrow, so don’t give up on me just yet.)

    Lilapsophobic here. Dorky, but true. And a little tiny bit coulrophobic too. I blame it on “IT” haha

    OK, I just spent way too much time reading those. I am a borderline Haphephobe, which is not the best thing to be when you have little ones.

    Now I’m going back to read more.

    I have Cacophobia. Naw, I’m kidding.

    But umm…we will throw down over JRM. He is mine. MINE. MMIIINNNEEEEE.

    I don’t have this one: Arachibutyrophobia — but I absolutely adore that there is an actual name for a fear of having peanut butter stuck to the roof of one’s mouth.

    Thanks so very much for the shout out on “The Good Blogs.” It’s so kind of you.

    I’m glad you are back, and I hope that you take whatever time you need to re-calibrate. Chocolate therapy is of course an excellent idea, in my book. :) But do whatever works for you.

    sweetie, I’ve been right here and I’m totally behind too.

    (I love Starbucks, I just wish they’d put out bins to recycle the darn cups.)

    I can’t look at that list. Do you know why? I’ll start fucking fearin’ something. I’m ok for now, but I just got over fearing retinal detachment, stroke, and heart attack. I need a break.

    Logizomechanophobia…..I do not suffer from this but it goes have a nice ring to you, don’t you think?

    I’m sorry you’ve had a run of the shitties but hopefully it will come to an end now. *hugs*

    Good thing you didn’t wait until Wedneday to post this, your Triskaidekaphobia may have kicked in. Good to have you back!

    You gave me a shout out on your good blog list? You totally rock lady! Thank you!

    I’m totally acrophobic, mildly claustrophobic and novercaphobic; though I’m not so much sure it a fear as much as a strong dislike! (I’ll let you look that one up.;))

    Dude, glad you’re back, and super sorry for your loss. Also, can you dust over here? Seriously, YUCK.

    So I had to look, and yep there’s a phobia of vomiting. Which is my biggest fear around here right now. That list is CRAZY!
