Hahaha! Oh dear! Considering the fact that the last time I was in ASDA, I was actually inside the shopping cart (Last month if my memory serves me well lol), I don't think that's the craziest thing ever. I think supermarkets in general are terrifying to get through, what with the old ladies going psycho trying to spend every last penny (literally) of their pension and spread thin mothers with the kids they think are being looked after by everybody but herself. If it's not a Tesco Express I prefer to steer clear, just for sanity's sake lol.

I prefer to go during the day on the weekday, since it's quieter. But when I went on Wednesday, I totally didn't buy enough and needed to go again today. I'm on a budget (being a poor student and all) and spent half of it on Skittles and Vodka to make Skittles Vodka (for the record, it goes brown... but it's REALLY tasty)

And, why were you INSIDE the shopping cart? xD Totally hilarious mental image here.

Skittle....Vodka? Oh wow...It sounds so obvious now that you say it. Why have I never made this before? I love Skittles lol. Way to get your priorities right on the budget lol! Is it gonna be ASDAs own brand baked beans for Dinner for the next month then lol?

I was dared to get in it. And nobody dares me because they know I'll do it

Just kind of got messy when my friends started piling their shopping ontop of me. Lucky for me they decided they needed plenty of Bananas, which not only gross me out but I have somewhat of a phobia of them lol. But it was fun, especially the stoic older folks watching me with their eyes of judgement XD

Apparently, you're meant to pick one colour at a time and use that. Then the vodka turns lovely shades of red, purple, green, etc. I put them all in at once and got brown. Whoops.

Also, I'm living on a bowl of cereal and a bowl of rice / pasta a day. So, it's fairly cheap to live on

Well as long as it tasted good, then the brown-ness could be forgiven. As my Mum always says, as long as it's alcoholic and wet it's drinkable. And wow....Not to be coarse but you must really have bathroom issues with all that rice and pasta lol. Has I'm a Celebrity taught you nothing lol? But still, good for the figure

Hehe. I'm lucky because my friends have never dared me to do anything that is incredibly mean of them. Probably because I already topped it when I went to London last. I don't drink much and had one too many, so I was a bit squiffy. I thought I would be dead clever and wander out of the hotel in the dark, alone and shoeless, and go for a walk in a city I knew nothing about, asking the seediest men for directions back to the hotel after I got terribly lost. Best thing was, I managed to call my friends so they could come and find me, and told them where I was standing. By the time they got there, I'd wandered off and already found my way back to the hotel where I was promptly sick all over the bathroom. I concede it was my own fault and I definitely lost all sense of self preservation that night lol.

Just when I thought I'd seen it all...

Okay, afraid of BANANAS? Seriously? I can see how someone would want to avoid them..... but to be that petrified of them?

I thought my friend was just being stupid. Apparently she isn't and she's not alone

It's the whole idea of them touching me, because the texture and scent of them are so deplorable to me. I honestly get the shakes when they're near me. I wouldn't say I'm as bad as when I see a Spider though lol. Nothing compares with that level of misery.

When you see a Spider do you shriek "KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!" too?

I can somewhat relate to having an irrational visceral reaction to seemingly innocuous things. My phobia? Crickets. I hate the way they look, the way they jump, their piercing chirps... everything. When I see that a cricket has entered the house, I am obsessed with getting rid of it by any means possible. Being in the presence of crickets sets off such a visceral reaction... it's rather embarassing.

I used to work with someone who had a phobia of... wait for it... hosta plants. Yep, those ornamental, shade-loving plants. I think it's one thing to have a phobia for things that offend your senses, but hostas? Really?

Hahahaa! I do! And then it goes squish with my useful copy of Storms. It's the only reason I actually keep that book around lol.

Plants? That's a really strange thing to be afraid of. But I suppose there's no understanding unless you're actually going through it. The mind has a funny way of creating a threat that isn't actually there.

I'm so jealous! I've been searching bookstores everywhere (ie, Middlesbrough and Newcastle) for that book. I just use my size 15 shoes to crush spiders.

Or shriek like a little girl.

Speaking of phobias. I'm scared of birds. MAINLY PIGEONS. One time, I was down town, and my friend phoned me, now, according to her, we were talking, when suddenly I started shrieking gibberish down the phone for a good ten minutes. A pigeon had flew right at me

I found a copy for £4 in my local vinyl shop which was lucky. It has some really cool stuff in it. I managed to find a book of Beatles lyrics (entire back catalogue) illustrated which is a really cool *huggles it* Size 15? Woah....I'm size 5. I feel so small lol.

Aww!

My Auntie hates Birds too! I never understood what it was. Is it because you've seen Alfred Hitchcock's film? A certain film is why I don't like Clowns anymore, lol. I think you can guess which one I mean *shudder*
