I am terrified of...

[ITChick]

In no particular order:

Spiders. I remember phoning into work one day mentioning that I'm going to be late because there was a huge spider between me and the shower.

When I later described this spider everyone assured me that it wasn't dangerous at all, and that it is called a hunting spider. Why call it a hunting spider if it's not dangerous!? (I tried to find a picture but got a tiny bit too feaked out)

Heights. I never used to be scared of heights as a child. I used to climb up really tall mountains and it is (another) miracle that I survived to this age.

When I grew up I thought it would be fun to go parachuting. It wasn't - but it did give me a healthy respect for heights. Later I went bungee jumping. This turned my respect into outright fear. Facing your fears isn't always a good idea.

Hell. I don't believe in it, but it is a bloody scary place.

Ghosts. Another thing that I don't believe in. I still had to spend one night (when my bf was away) sleeping in the living room because I was too scared of the windows in our bedroom. I blame Supernatural (the TV show).

Hehe, I can go on forever. Why am I so scared of stupid things!?

Crowded places. We visited Rockefeller Center in NYC during Christmas once to check out the decorations. I was fine at first, it wasn't that busy, but then the crowd closed in and seemed to grow... My husband had to throw me over his shoulder fireman style and carry me out because I started hyperventilating and having a panic attack.

Large bodies of water. Ponds and small lakes I'm cool, but if I can't see the other side, I'm gonna die.

Great White Sharks.

Fortunately, there are few in the desert.

When I was a kid, I was deeply phobic of birds. I'm better now, but they still make me nervous if they get too close.

Your avatar is appropriate then.

Women taller than me. 6'4" and up.

And fucking clowns.

Oh...dancing.

The idea of going to prison. Which is why I probably try not to break the law.

I can have dreams of being shot to death in a war, or a monster eating me and I wake up thinking it was a pretty cool dream.

When I dream that somehow I messed up and I'm being sent to prison I wake up and have a huge surge of relief that it was just a dream.
