potentialities

Well, I am the kind of person who, when scared, would rather stand and fight rather than run away.

Except maybe when I encounter either that noise from The Ring or various types of crawly-wormy-bug thingies, especially if they are fuzzy.

Although, in the latter case, I'm more 'grossed out' than 'stricken with fear'.

And also note that by 'fight' I may mean, 'flail my arms wildly.'
