What gives you the creeps?


When I am waiting at a bank line or in any other place, or riding a bus, I hate when strangers try to strike up a conversation with me. It really gives me the creeps.I try to be polite and at least nod when the person asks a question, but I really feel unconfortable. But the worst thing is that I keep wondering about things they could do or if their are criminals or something similar. I know it sounds crazy but I am a chicken. I fear almost everything.What about you?

I came here to visit your place and I really enjoyed it! Congratulations! Layout is pretty atractive and the posts are in the right size enough to be read (I have difficults to read long texts in the net)... About this post, I fear many things, but it is important to focalize our minds, take breath, etc. By the way, I remembered a Coldplay´s song that says: "...we live in a beautiful world..." It called "Don´t panic" ant it meet the case. Hugs!

Hey Ericka. I really liked your blog. As for the topic, you know, there are some techniques to avoid them: headphones and books are the most popular. But sometimes, if you aren't afraid ang give people a chance to talk, you can have intereting experiences! Not so often though... Well, sorry for the English, it hasn't improved much. And keep up with the good work here. \o/

 Well, you make "in-law compounds" plural by making the noun part plural since the women are primarily sisters, and the "-in-law" part just further describes what kind of sisters they are: Sisters-in-law Brothers-in-law Fathers-in-law Mothers-in-law

Elizabeth Bishop- Pink Dog

PINK DOG [Rio de Janeiro] The sun is blazing and the sky is blue. Umbrellas clothe the beach in every hue. Naked, you trot across the avenue. Oh, never have I seen a dog so bare! Naked and pink, without a single hair... Startled, the passersby draw back and stare. Of course they're mortally afraid of rabies. You are not mad; you have a case of scabies but look intelligent. Where are your babies? (A nursing mother, by those hanging teats.) In what slum have you hidden them, poor bitch, while you go begging, living by your wits? Didn't you know? It's been in all the papers, to solve this problem, how they deal with beggars? They take and throw them in the tidal rivers. Yes, idiots, paralytics, parasites go bobbing int the ebbing sewage, nights out in the suburbs, where there are no lights. If they do this to anyone who begs, drugged, drunk, or sober, with or without legs, what would they do to sick, four-legged dogs? In the ca...
