For about three weeks now, I've been obsessed with watching television shows based on murders. One of the shows is called Snapped and is based on stories of women who have ultimately "snapped" and ended up killing people (usually their abusive husbands). Lance hates this show because he says all those women are just crazy! haha! Some of the other shows I've been watching are 20/20 and Dateline. Those shows are much more intense because they are centered around serial killers or psychopaths instead of just crazy women. I love watching how the police gather the evidence and look for clues to help them find the murderer but the more I've been watching these shows, the more paranoid I've become.
About 4 years ago, while I was going to ABAC and living with my parents, I actually saw a man looking through my bathroom window at night. My sister has actually heard him outside her bedroom window on several occasions and we have called the police only to find evidence that someone was in fact outside but no way to catch him. Our neighbors have also seen and heard him outside of their homes too. Since this was several years ago, I haven't been quite so afraid of this Peeping Tom...until now! I haven't heard or seen this particular man again, but now I'm just so afraid that some is going to break into our house in the middle of the night to murder us! These shows are completely the cause of this phobia, but I'm still so addicted to watching them. Last night I told Lance I wanted him to teach me how to shoot a gun. I have lived in the south my entire life and I have never shot a gun...ever. That's pretty rare, so hopefully I'll learn how to protect myself if an intruder should ever happen to break in and free myself from these fears I have.
