OMG, me too! And ever since we got satellite TV and with it the Discovery channel, it's gotten SO much worse. I had no idea of all the different ways the world could end. I was really distracted at work one day and someone asked me what was going on, and I said, "Did you know there's actually a tiny possibility that the entire crust of the earth could slide and reverse the poles? And don't even get me started on gamma ray bursts..." I mean... who worries about this crap?
That said, I do love disaster/apocalypse movies. LOVE them. I guess as much as it scares me, I'm also deeply intrigued by how life would persevere and what it would be like. Every time something disconcerting happens in the world, I'm 95% worried/concerned and 5% excited. But that 5% is the same part of my brain that truly believes fictional characters are real, so I don't give it too much credit.
