i really do think i have a problem. but this time its nothing to do with the usual stuff.

this time its because of manatees.

im terrified of all animals in the water at practice or anywhere else. i get really jumpy every day out on the water now at the first splash i hear that i didnt expect. and the fact that its still dark out doesnt really help. cuz that only makes my imagination go crazy. and then i start thinking up even worse things than what could possibly happen!

manatees scare me. and dolphins scare me. and fish too, now. how pathetic is that?

like, the other day at practice, it was lightning really bad (we were on our way in cuz coach decided it wasnt safe anymore; and lightning is my other biggest fear), and a fish jumped in the boat. and hit me. and i spazed. then dana said she saw a dolphin jump out of the water, and she pointed to where. we were all watching, and osmething jumped, but it sure want a dolphin. it was a flipping huge fish is what it was.

after that i couldnt stop thinking about everything that might be swimming under us, and i was shaking the whole row back in.
