It's that time again for the 'ask me' meme.

Ask me a question, personal, fandom, fic. If you've ever had a burning desire to know something, now's your chance. However I do reserve the right to reply with a silly answer if the real answer would be too TMI [g]

No, it's okay [HUGS]. But it always amazes me that all these years later, when I think about, it makes me anxious.

Originally I'd have been afraid, but for some reason I react to my being frightened with anger and the terror's source. So, when I look back at things like that, I'm likely to feel angry.

But then, I've also been to the other side, so to speak: Once, I passed the threshold where panic gets too intense so your emotions just shut down. Your mind suddenly is very clear, you think fast and (relatively)rationally and you act in absolutely cold blood. Boy, do I not want to go there again! :-)

But you know, every time we recall our fears like that, from a comfortable distance, they lose a little of the hold they have over us. At least, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it! Of course I asked only out of altruistic motives and it had nothing whatsoever to do with curiosity. *g*
