Have you ever been to the beach?
I have, I love the beach.  I find it really interesting that only 5% of the ocean has been explored.  Isn't that a little scary?
Yes it is. Who knows what could be lurking in the depths of the ocean
That's true.  The ocean is totally necessary for life to have developed.  It's a huge part of the carbon cycle, and is responsible for a good chunk of weather patterns.
I've never sailed on the ocean because i have an irrational fear that ill be eaten by a squid.
I'm all sorts of phobic.  I'm terrified of thunderstorms.  I will literally drive to another state to get away from one.  I would go to great lengths to get out of dodge.
I love thunderstorms. I used to sit on my screened in porch as they rolled through.
I suppose I don't mind thunderstorms as much. It's more that I'm afraid of when they band together, one after the other, in, like, a squall line.
