Scaredy Cat

This, is a picture of a scared cat.

We are one and the same. I've realized recently that I am such a scaredy cat. I've always consider myself to be a very outgoing person, and I USED to think that I was really willing to try new things. And yet... the are so many things that I'm just so passive about, and so many things I just haven't done.

For your viewing pleasure... here is a list of things I have never done/hardly ever do/or weird things I do because I am scared. :)

1. I've never been skiing, or snowboarding. (AND I live in UTAH!)
2. I can't ice skate (small children pass me because I'm too slow at scooting along the side!)
3. I can't swim (I was SO one of those kids that you have to coax into sticking their face in the water, and then there was sputtering, and a frightened "I did it!")
4. I've been tubing once, and any other form of boating, I've avoided :)
5. I walk down stairs into swimming pools because I'm scared of jumping in.
6. I once got scared sitting on someone's shoulders. They were kneeling on the ground.
7. Go down a slip-n-slide correctly. (I run... slow down... sit down... and then scoot.)
8. You know that game where you like, jump from log to log, or something like that? I'm horrible at that.
9. Dancing
10. Falling on your back on a trampoline (making back wars impossible!! If anyone else ever did those... like... knee wars?... yeah I'm talking to myself now.)

What a thrill seeker eh? :)
So basically, I feel like the most passive person in the world when I think about how many things I'm afraid of trying!! How ridiculous are all of those things? And how many things am I missing out on because I'm too scared of them! (A lot more than 10 :) ) I'm working on it... maybe I'll start with slip-n-sliding :)
