    Hey all,

    I was trying to think of an interesting and fun, but potentially more serious thread to make, like those ones in Fun and Games that everyone can contribute to. So here begins the Biggest Fear/Greatest Hope thread :eek:! It's easy, just share your biggest fear and greatest hope, and if you arn't comfortable with that, make up humourous ones! Laughter is the best medicine after all :eusa_danc. I'll start.

    Biggest fear: Someone close to me will die suddenly, like my dad did back in 1999.

    Greatest hope: That I will be able to travel in a spaceship before I die!!!

    Your turn :smilewave

    Biggest fears: Falling from great heights, anything from the arachnid family, failing at life (and not in the fun sense), losing someone I love, semi-trucks, and my car falling apart.

    Greatest hopes: I help a lot of people maintain a high standard of health and I save lives along the way. Oh and I have a lot of fun in life.

    Biggest fear: Finding myself in a Johnny Got His Gun state, i.e. a being a functioning mind prisoner of my own body. For those who don't know, the protagonist of Johnny Got His Gun loses his arms, legs, and all of his face, including his eyes, ears, and tongue, to an artillery shell, but his mind functions perfectly. Thus he is forced to remain alive, but all he can do is think and reflect; he cannot observe or exert any kind of control over his environment (and a tracheotomy prevents him from committing suicide via suffocation). While losing any of my senses or my limbs is something I fear (I'm fiercely autonomous), losing all of them is by far the worst thing I could image happening to me.

    Greatest Hope: To live in a world free of voluntary ignorance. Ignorance can never be truly extirpated from the world (no one is born knowing everything), but if we could live in a world where everyone was open-minded and eager to learn more, to consider other outlooks on life, that would make me a very happy man. I suppose that stems from what is truly my greatest hope: total enlightenment in every part of the world.

    Ok, that kinda scared me just reading it. >.>

    Biggest fear: I'm scared of failure more than anything else. School is the most important thing in my life, and it is the key to my future, I know it is. I've seen so many people, smart people, determined people, that have tried and failed and I've seen their dreams turn to dust and they're different after that. I don't want that to happen to me.


    Biggest hope: I want to move far, far, away from here. There is absolutely nothing in this town for me, and there probably never will be. In less than two years I will graduate from my university, and I want to go to a graduate school somewhere in Washington state or Oregon. I want a PhD and I won't stop until I have it. Plus, I have to intern somewhere before those two years are over and I found a program that would allow me to intern for a federal agency in D.C. and I hope that I'm brave enough to do it. I would be totally alone in D.C. for six months. It's a little nerve-wracking to think about it.

    Yes, i agree, Gamer's biggest fear is super creepy!

    I wish you the best of luck Kidd, you sound very motivated and ambitious, something I could use! Also when you think about it, six months is nothing in the grand scheme of things and what an opportunity, I think you'll do just fine. Oh and why would you want to move away from Narnia!?!?! :wink:

    Biggest fears: Dying from diabetes, heart disease, one of the things that run in my bastard of a father's side. Also are, being poor (I'm sorry but I grew up with a lot of things and the idea of being unable to afford anything more than rent and food...well....yeah...). I just want to be able to have an enjoyable life and provide for my family. As vain as that sounds slightly.

    Greatest Hope: Yeah I'm sure many know this on the site already. But basically be the next big actor.

    I fear that all of my fears are true.

    I hope to find an amazing woman who shares (some of) my interests, and spend the rest of my life with her.
