it really doesn't matter. I have been able to swim since I was little but when you dont see it coming and suddenly you're under water things change.

Yeah I don't blame her. That kind of happened to me a few months ago when I baked a cake for my fiance, covered it lightly and leaving it on the counter, we went to dinner. Came back several hours later and uncovered the cake only to find it swarming with ants. The whole thing was ruined especially since i dumped probably a half a can of raid on it to kill those fuckers.:D God I hate ants.

That's not the worst, I grew up in a house with ants and they're those small black ones that you don't always see or feel on you right away. It's like you have to look twice sometimes because at far away you can't seem them until, "Why is the counter moving...OMG they're ants! And they're everywhere!" Creepy as hell.

A lot of people are afraid of spiders, I like spiders because they eat other bugs, like ants :)

I can swim but I had someone dunking me one time. He thought it was funny but it scared the shit out of me. I don't think dunking somebody is anything to laugh about. I don't like it when I'm in a lake and can't see what might be under me. Like things I do know can't be under me like a shark. But i have one hell of an Imagination.

With regard to films, 'scary' depends on your definition - like Urge said, you don't generally get genuinely scared by a film once you reach a certan age, particularly those who have seen a lot of horror films.

However, there is still certain imagery which can be effectively creepy and haunting - and it's usually when things which represent innocence are shown in a slightly offbeat way. They're not threatening in a physical way, but psychologically, as they go against what we have been conditioned to view as 'good', pure, and non-threatening.

For example, the female form in a non-sexual way - a little girl, or an elderly woman in a rocking chair - can be a creepy visual image if shown in a certain way that suggests something's not quite right. The same with clowns, dolls, and other such things that we generally associate with innocence. They're not going to beat us up, but it's more frightening on a psychological level, unlike a big monster or horde of zombies.
