My Strange Phobia

Hey Guys,

I am not sure if this is meant to be a serious post or not?
Only a little.
I'm not making this post so you guys can relate because you probably wont but it's interesting to talk about&explain.

So I have this weird phobia that no one I know really understands and that is,

Google Earth

And I probably sound like I'm joking but I am deadly serious

I have a phobia of Google Earth

I don't really know why or how I got this phobia because it's super irrational but I'll try and detail exactly what part I'm afraid of and how I knew of its existence.

So like, a year ago I went on google maps, just casually exploring countries to compensate for my lack of going outside-ness and then since I wanted to see just how big the country I was in was, I zoomed out, and out and out.
And I just kept going until- WOAH TOO FAR 
I COULD LITERALLY SEE THE WHOLE EARTH
AND THE DEEP ABYSS OF SPACE
AND THE AWFUL, GROSS TERRAIN OF THE SEA.

I nearly puked.
I just got this overwhelming, gross, icky, shuddery feeling and I had to close the tab then and there.
Everywhere I look people just think its a phobia of big things or the ocean or something but it's not.
Mainly for me its the texture of the sea.
All bumpy and grainy, it makes me gag.
So I downloaded google earth in an attempt to flood myself (a psychology technique for phobias)
Worse thing ever.
I clicked too hard and it took me into a ground view of Hawaii.
But not of the road, like on street view on google maps
OH NO.
A GROUND VIEW OF A GRAINY, HALF-DOWNLOADED MOUNTAIN.
I NEARLY BURSTED INTO FLAMES

I'd go back and get a picture but I'm too afraid to go back into ground-view. (Also I'm paranoid I'll have copyright issues)
Best way I could describe it is, it looked like the minecraft world, all pixely 

My phobia isn't as severe as my pigeon phobia but it's annoying because it's hard to explain without getting laughed at, which doesn't really bother me but frustrating when I'm trying to get my point across. On websites I've seen people that can relate which is comforting, ill submit links at the end 

I'm trying to think of something else to add but I have nothing.
This was kind of a short post but hey, its something :)
Let me know if you have any strange phobias in the comments because I am genuinely interested in what you have to say!

Bye!

Why I'm Envious Of Americans

So as some of you may know, I went back to school.. -.- I absolutely hate it and I've only been back for 2 days *sigh* Since this is a pretty important year I'll probably have to stick to posting once a week by completing posts and uploading them on the weekend.  Although whenever I get holidays I will vow to post as much as I can without getting annoying. Now in case you're wondering: Why not complete multiple posts on the weekends and save them as drafts? I wanted to but I realised its better to wait a few days so fresh ideas can come out then type loads of boring rambly ideas in an hour. Hope you understand where I'm coming from :) Anyways lets get onto what I'm supposed to be talking about shall we? At first I was going to talk about answers to questions people have for British people since I'm British but instead I thought It would be better to talk about my envy for Americans Trust me, this is not as serious/evil as it sou...

My Thoughts On Going Back To School

So I was inspired by a girl named Izzy to talk about my thoughts on going back to school and I thought it was a great idea! I personally have an extremely strong opinion on school so when I talk about it I speak with 0 filter. I hate school with a fiery passion. (See, I do not sugar coat my hatred) I hate the teachers. I hate the homework. I hate the learning. And I sure as hell hate the horrendous uniform. Seeing my friends is the only thing that convinces me to get up at 6:45 every morning and attend. ..Well that and the occasional bake sales.. Luckily enough I live in the Uk so I don't start school till September the 4th (On a Thursday) But I have so many assignments I haven't completed yet. I even have a Food Technology assignment where I have to bake 5 things and take a picture of them and send them to my teacher. Yeah.. like that's happening I'll probably just steal some from a cooking website. ..Wow I'm just the perfect...

RIP My Blog (Crucial Advice For Bloggers)

So... As you can see, my blog has changed, again. It was formerly "The Terrible Tales of An Awkward Teen" but now it has changed to "Liyah's World" The reason behind this is, the other day I noticed on my site instead of the banner and the welcome picture and my button showing up etc. there was a white exclamation mark in a grey box. I was really puzzled by this and tried to look up ways to fix it and I found a blogger who ran across the same problem. Pretty much the only way to fix it was to remove the pictures causing error and replace it. I was really heartbroken by this because I had someone design my blog for me and I didn't really have much knowledge of how to go about changing my blog title and such so I used picmonkey since it was the only thing I could think of. I don't think it turned out too bad but I will do more to completely remove all the errors, this includes making a whole new button. I tried to contact the designer ...
