I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes

How do snakes terrify me? Let me count the ways...


1. They make me run, jump and shriek in a highly undignified manner. 

2. I get bone clattering chills.


3. I break in to a cold sweat.


4. I get the shakes.


5. I get nauseous. 


5. I have heart palpitations. 


6. I suffer extreme dizziness and crippling paralysis. 

While snakes terrify me and make me want to climb a tree and not come down, I still find them fascinating. I always go into the reptile house at the zoo, even though I feel quite ill by the time I make it out. It isn't so much so I can see the snakes, but rather as a test of my own fortitude. Snakes scare me to the point of nearly loosing bladder control, but I don't let that stop me form going in. 

I do not let my fears control me. Even if they're snakes.
