When were you last really scared?We'd been watching the Shining. We were staying in an old church building. In hindsight, taking the shortcut home after midnight, in the mist, through the old graveyard was a bad idea.
I'm not sure what started it, but suddenly all the hairs on my neck had gone up and I was crapping myself. It was almost as bad as when, after a few cups of coffee too many and buzzing on caffeine, I got freaked out by my own reflection in the toilets.

HairI have a fine head of hair. I take after my maternal grandfather. He died with a full head of the stuff. I like my hair, its good, it comes with me everywhere. I spend money on it. I am not a particularly vain person, its the only thing about my appearance I actually care about. Everything else can be a mess (and often is) but as long as my hair looks ok, bring it on. Today, as i was in a rush, i havent washed it. That is unusual. There hasn't been a day in 20 years where I havent washed my hair at least once. Yes thats a small problem. I digress...
Standing in the queue at the building society a few days ago, I could see the security monitors. When that happens i like to pass the time by trying to figure out where the cameras are. I could see the queue I was in and if i moved a bit, I could see where I was on the monitor. One camera was behind and above me and I suddenly realised I had a bald patch. A big one.
My heart dropped a couple of inches and I felt sick. I moved, the bald patch moved. Oh fuckity fuckity fuck. I'm fucked. I will now never have sex again. My life is over at 33.
It took me a while to figure out it was a trick of the light and it was the glare of the sun. As I moved to change position in the monitor, so did my perspective and thus the glare of the sun on the screen moved also.
The relief was tremendous. It was genuinely terrifying.
How crap am i??
