<< snakes, worms, maggots... argh!!!!!!!!!!!! >>

Sissy 😛

I don't like very small spaces (where your belly and back touch the walls at the same time) and death (in any form of shape) doesn't appeal to me either.

<< Spiders >>



the mere mention of them has me looking around nervously

I've a spider as a pet.

[edit]: Hmm... this is strange.. I just launched Winamp and the currently selected number is System of a Down - Spiders. Creepy :Q
 
Dark, empty places. Cities with no people, dreams that feel more real than when you're awake. That voice that talks to us in our heads, telling us to do those things.

-Losing my life to a whore with disease. (10 pts to whomever catches the reference.)
-I'm a bit frightened of the midget clowns with power saws that keep peering into my window and running off giggling.
-I'm rather put off by these new-fangled do-it-yourself appendectomy kits, even if they do come with a easy to follow 297-step quick start poster.
-Those guys who stand on street corners with signs ostensibly trying to advertise ghetto check cashing establishments, but I know what they're really doing.
-Voyeuristic biolgy professors that use their microscopes to peek in on micro-organisms reproducing.
-Oh and Steve Buscemi, I swear he's a sign of the apocalypse...


Perknose: I was laughing so hard I almost spilled my gatorade as I read your post, truly inspired.

 


<< I'd have to say my biggest fear is getting cut by blades in any way, you know these:Example. >>

is that blade similar to those used by the Sept 11 hijackers? i recall they used box openers or something of the sort but never figured out what they were/are
 


<< and the fear that some homeless guys is going to jab me with a needle full of disease (hiv and stuff)... damn asian parents... >>



hahahaha.

Fear of the future. Like if i will suceed in life or not.
 
I fear fear.
I'm afraid of being afraid.
Don't fear death in earthly travels.
Don't fear enemies or friends.
Just listen to the words of prayers,
To pass the facets of the dreads.

Your death will come to you, and never
You shall be, else, a slave of life,
Just waiting for a dawn's favor,
From nights of poverty and strife.

She'll build with you a common law,
One will of the Eternal Reign.
And you are not condemned to slow
And everlasting deadly pain.

 
I am deathly afraid of spiders and deep water. When I see a spider I can go from a fully prone position to a dead sprint in under one second. As for deep water; its more like any water where I cant see the bottom. I know that the fishies and stuff are afraid of me, but I can never shake the feeling that something is under there, waiting.... And all the weird larvae and insects and stuff that live in streams and lakes creep me out.
 
Losing my vision. I think about it more these days since I am getting Ocular Migraines these days... where you get very blurred vision followed by an onset of the worst migraines known to man. A friend of mine who's a pharmacologist says it can lead to total blindness.

I think about it and it's the last sense I'd choose to lose if I had to lose any...
 
spiders and heights

I can't even watch spider stuff on the Discovery channel... evil evil creatures 🙁
 
The ----ing zombies that come out of the walls in Return to castle Wolfenstine 😉
but seriously:

<<Good ol fear of hights and plummeting to my doom>>

well said
