Moths & Barnacles Phobia

There are 2 things that I just can not stand…. not only hate, but my skin crawls or it makes me jump up in fear.

1.  Moths – my hubby used to laugh when I said I hate moths.  I haven’t always felt that way.  For some reason they love to flitter about in my face.  Hubby even agrees with me these days, if a moth is about, then it always seems to be attacking me   I hate their flittery wings, like bits of old parchmenty skin, I don’t like the way they seem to want to fly into my mouth bleurgh.  Creepy!

2. Barnacles – this sounds ridiculous but these things make me actually recoil!  It’s hard to describe, but I just don’t like all those tiny little holes, and when the water is on them, the holes all open up like a billion little aliens… bleurgh I feel vomitty just thinking about them.  For some reason I feel disgust and freaked out at the same time.  Same goes for the tiny little eyes/holes things you get on fresh squid that are forever winking.  It’s got to the point where if there are barnacles on rocks at the beach I will go out of my way to avoid stepping on them or looking at them.  I have no idea why, it’s not like they’re going to jump off the rocks and cheese grater my feet is it?

So there you go, another random insight into my freaky persona
