Irrational fears

We all have irrational fears, not to mention rational ones. Me? I don’t do well with snakes, but they pretty much fall into the rational variety. Anything that can sneak up on you and deliver a lethal bite is worthy of my terror.

Of the irrational sort, I am afraid of clowns. In a big way. I’m a classic Bozo-phobe. I can even trace it back to an incident when I was about two years old and was taken to see a movie in a theater for the very first time. It was a matinee, back in the day when parents would drop kids off for the afternoon, unsupervised.  Basically, it was anarchy. In between the Huey, Dewey and Louie cartoon and The Shaggy Dog, a special live appearance was made by Clarabell the clown. For those who don’t know, Clarabell was Howdy Doody’s sidekick. He didn’t speak (a particularly strange affectation embraced by some clowns) and only communicated through the honking of various horns. So this creep comes charging down the aisle, the kids go ballistic, and my brain exploded.

So it may be an irrational fear, but at least I have an excuse.

What irrational fears do you have?

  21. Lead Traveler says:

    I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! last night i had a band concert and two trumpets did a duet and they were both my friends and they were clowns and…… you can see where this is going.

  22. Dana says:

    I hate clowns as well…

    but not dead ones. Those are okay. I had a staring contest with one once- he kept advancing towards me until we were about two inches apart. And then I won.

    Normal clowns though- eeuugh. Creepy.

    How can i ask him? He is now on First Earth, and the journals only go one way.

  24. ABC789 says:

    Hey um well, wasn’t Bobby afraid of those two things? IDK if anyone has said this already, but I clearly remember in The Rivers Of Zadaa, Bobby said he was afraid of snakes and, in The Quillan Games, Bobby said that the clowns creeped him out. Just pointing it out to my fellow Pendragon fanatics.

  25. Lead Traveler says:

    yeah. dj probalby based Bobby’s fears off of himself.
    @Markus
    SEND THEM TO THE TRAVELER’S ACOLYTE HE’S TRAVELING WITH. FOR NO TRAVELER SHOULD TRAVEL ALONE!!!!!!!!!!

  26. Markus says:

  28. second traveler says:

  29. Lead Traveler says:

    did you get a response yet? and second traveler why is your biggest fear OBAMA for pete’s sakes? sorry is say sakes instead of sake. i don’t know why.

  30. Lead Traveler says:

    i meant i say instead of is say.

  31. Markus says:

    No i haven’t gotten it back.

  32. N. says:

    I am deathly afraid of clowns and dolls. I saw a clown on the street and he waved at me, I stood there hyperventilating while someone was waving back and talking to them. I’m especially afraid of clowns with red hair. It just looks like they killed a kid and soaked the wig in the blood. Dolls scare me too. I thought I saw a doll move when I was in my down stairs and I ran up to my bedroom screaming like a little girl.

  33. Lead Traveler says:

    hey you boys!!!!!!! stop saying i did this like a girl and i screamed like a girl cause, for one, all boys do!!!!!!! and some girls are sooooooooo much thougher than you could ever dream of!!!!!!!!!!! boys think that girls are just a bunch of goody goody two shoes when they’re not!!!! girls play with dolls(younger ones) because they’re not scared of them!!! to me that is an act of bravery as i was scared of dolls when nobody else was!!!!!!!!!!!!
    and i’m scared of clowns too.for those who haven’t read the earlier posts i’ll say this again. i think last week i had a band concert and two of my friends had a duet solo and they were dressed as clowns. so i was basically advoiding them, later, after the show they came up to me and… you can see where this is going. *shudders as the memory comes back*

  34. Lead Traveler says:

    and hey Markus- you get a response yet? (even though i know you’re just pretending) has anyone read The Red Pyramid? cause if you have did you read the foreword thing and the authors’s note? that would be freaky if all that Carter and Sadie said was true. *Shudders again*

  35. Markus says:

    Im not pretending!!!!!!!!! And yes, i did get a response. His exact words are: “On that pendragon website? No, i did not even go on there. I was too busy with homework (oh, the stuff you miss now, and you hated it before).” He continued with other matters, but thats the part with what you guys want to know.

  36. N. says:

    Well, ‘lead traveler’. The reason little girls play with dools is because the one they play with Barbies. Not those really old dolls made out of glass that scare me. And they don’t know what dolls can do to them. If they knew they wouldn’t be playing with miss Barbie any more. I have had a very bad experience with dolls. When I was like 5, my grandma gave a ragady ann doll to me. I didn’t like so I kicked across the room. The same night when I was trying to get to sleep, my sister had the doll walk in the room with her crawling on the ground behind it. She said ‘ I didn’t like it when you kicked me, now you shall pay.’. I screamed and threw my pillow at it. I wasn’t the only one who had the doll come into their room. My other two sisters had the same experience. So I have a reason to be afraid of dolls.

  37. Lead Traveler says:

    @N.
    well, i think girls play with Barbies is because they all go through the stage when they loove them. i know i did. it only lasted for about 2 years, then i tore some of their heads off, which was fun. but they came back to haunt me so now i think that girls who play with Barbies and dolls are very brave.
