How about Tilda Swinton?

I hate to see the quarterback lick his fingers.

Mourning Doves cooing on a foggy/misty day and old houses. I’m pretty sure why I get the creeps from these, especially if all three are combined but I can’t rationally get past it.

Warning: Not for the faint of heart.

I was linked to

a picture of a girl whose anus had partially slid out of her ass, presumably after a lot of rough anal sex

last night and I couldn’t sleep until 6 AM. That was some creepy, creepy, creepy shit. I really wish I could unsee it.

[QUOTE=NinjaChick]  
Also, the ocean. Millions of miles of just smooth, unbroken water, going down for miles, filled with sharks and jellyfish and those terrifying sea forests and reefs and all sorts of insanely weird stuff we have yet to discover. Gives me the creeps to just think about it.  
[/QUOTE]  
!!! Me too! People always look at me like I’m crazy when I say this. It’s not just the fish and other horrifying creatures, and it’s not just the massive amounts of water…but…but…together it’s awful.

We love watching nature documentaries, but whenever there’s one about the ocean, I have to go and read a book or something while my husband watches it. I can’t take it–especially when they’re out in the middle of the deep ocean. I can’t help but think that all you can see are the creatures around you, and _endless blue_ with no definition. You can’t see the bottom, it just fades to black. At a certain depth, you can’t see the surface, it just fades to light blue. If you look around…all you see is blue…and then a freaking shark fighting a gigantic squid or something. Of course the worst part of it all is that _I know someone went down there with a camera to film that!_

I’m definitely a land-lubber.

ETA: And still, knowing this about me, my husband tried to get me to watch _Open Water_. Hahahaha. No.
