*sulk* I MISSED the formal pie fight.

I could have used that to face my fears.

Little-known trivia about DV_Girl. I am scared of almost nothing. Not heights or dark or open spaces, or crazy killers with knives, etc but I do have one rather intense phobia...

Sticky stuff tends to make me come unglued...

Seriously. I'm afraid of honey, syrup, chocolate sauce and other similar things. It's mostly sugar-based sticky stuff that does it but whatever the case, if I'm not expecting it, it really REALLY upsets me. I go nearly to tears and need to find a washroom immediately. If there's no way to wash, I'll wipe and wipe and wipe whatever spot until I make my skin raw. Even with washing, I still keep checking for stickiness for quite a while afterwards.

My rational mind knows that these things aren't dangerous. I also can't figure out where this fear (is it a fear or an OCD trigger?) really stems from. But it really upsets me. It makes my skin crawl and sends my mind into a spin. I will often pass up treats like frosted donuts because I'd have to touch them. Though I will eat them if I can use a fork or hold them with a napkin. Still. I think getting caught in a pie-fight would be among my worst fears, and maybe that's exactly why I'd consider going to a pie fight if I'd known about it before hand. I don't like having stupid broken code in my head.
