3. Important to research house/apartment area that you will be living in - an mention of a cematary -end game

I live right next to a cemetary (church yard). I actually really like it because it's all really old and you can't even read most of the headstones.
 
You don't have my choices up there like Umpa Lumpas and flying monkeys. I would have to pick the fear of public speaking - I get sick everytime I have to or had to. Really sick. Not good.:(
 
I was afraid of public speaking until I realized that I was good at it. So much time being afraid prepared me for it.

I wish I could overcome it and then I could teach but it's not happening. I hate it. I stumble over words, my mouth gets dry I feel like I could die. It's bad man, really bad.
 
Certainly would suck, the way I figured was that it wasn't going to get any more embarrasing so I should just pretend that I am the best public speaker in the world - that and a lot of alcohol :wink:

Also try karaoke - nothing can give you better public speaking skills than by singing and then being ridiculed in public, on the other hand....
 
Mines not on the list coz it's too weird. Railway tracks scare the hell out of me. I can travel by train, sit by the window and I'm ok, but if I stand close to them, I can't stop my eyes from looking at them and I feel ill to the point of shaking. Yea, I know I'm weird! :slant:
