*makes face* Roaches. Cannot abide roaches. Used to have a very strong phobia of them. Nowadays I can at least tolerate their presence, and kill 'em on my own. However, if one surprises me, I'll scream and sometimes find someplace to jump off of the ground.

I personally prefer Dogs to cats, Dogs are easier to train, esp. alsations! My sisters cat is the laziest creature I have ever seen, I left the house yesterday at about 6, and came back this morning about 12, and the cat had hardly moved from the chair I left him on! Even if you pick him up he doesnt bother to move very fast, he'll purr if you hang him throw him or anything (onto a bed or a sofa, I'm not tight to my animals, or my sisters, just tight to my sister!)

Bah. Remember those old old old movies were the women jump on chairs because of mice? I used to do that all the time with roaches. In High School the friends I hung out with would bring roaches to school in little boxes to make me jump.

Yup!

Cat's aren't stupid enough to let you train them, they may play along for a bit just to keep you happy, but if they decide it's over, it's over.

Our 'normal' cats (i.e. not stray kittens) are birman (not to be mistaken for birmese!), they aren't as clever as the black one ('minty'), but they are palace cats. They would strole the palace corridors and sit around make the place making it look pretty.

If we, as humans, knew that cats actually bread us from monkeys to be the 'new breed' of cat slaves, would we like them any less? Naaah!

Heights, my G/F when she wake's up (J/K) and loss of a loved one for me.

SPIDERS!

OMG, if there is a spider the size of a flee, I will run out of my house screaming, literally. Although, tarantulas don't seem to scare me, which I find odd

Brian · 10-23-2003, 11:43 AM

Hmm, I also have another fear. The fear of the unknown.

I'd go to war and risk my life for my country, but I won't go to a haunted house.

tigibit · 10-23-2003, 01:03 PM

drummer4life05 · 10-23-2003, 01:07 PM

I have a fear of 800x600 resolution.

Have you felt the prehistoric spear of fear in your head?

When some one showed us his snake, he warned us of our natural inbuilt fear of such things because we know they can be dangerous and fear prepares us for any dangerous situation.
The snake, a python, was really huge, it was on the table all the time but in a sleeping bag. He was talking about it but it was still only hyperthetical, the tention built up a bit by his story, and then he unzipped the bag and got it out.

It was increadible how the realness of it effected me, all the signs that were usually missing on TV, in magazines and in liturature, we there, in front of me, large as life, on the table. A big real slithering muscular snake! Those signs of real snake kicked of instinct embedded thousands, possibly millions of years deep in my brain, it awoken part of the animal in me, along with a prehistoric urge, an anxhiety came over me and my heart rate soared. I felt a sharp hot pain in my brain, it was like the point of years and years of animal evolution telling me it's bad news, willing me to do something, screaming at me to run, and that point was dug into my calm objectionate conciousness, that forced the point to submit.
And submit it did, it was over in a few seconds, then I started to take in the beauty of the animal, I could see first hand its majestic muscular movements, I could reach out and touch its smooth intracate scales.

So if you're afraid of something, either because of an experience as a child, or the experience of distant ancestors, confront your fear, you can beat it, and you will be liberated.

Each time you beat one of your fears, you win a abattle against the ultimate fear, eventually you will find victory over the only real fear - fear itself.

That was really nice...*wipes tears*, lol thanks Jim.

**LazyJim** · 10-23-2003, 05:18 PM

Coffeee™ · 10-23-2003, 05:26 PM

I agree with Jake!

Pudd · 10-24-2003, 05:28 AM

Wow, that's deep Jim, real deep!
Sound like my best mate, he's always talking deep stuff at me! lol
I like snakes, I want a pet one, but I aint any good at keeping reptiles, my Dad had two lepard geckos, there were well kewl, but he had to get rid of them eventually. I'll just stick with me tabby and my alsation, boring and common as they may be!
But I'll try and over come my fear of..... *shudders* clowns.....

Pudd · 10-24-2003, 08:32 AM

No one else have any weird and wonderful phobias?

**LazyJim** · 10-24-2003, 08:43 AM

snakes are cool, they are not slimey at all, the one I say was big but not fully grown, if a snake coils round you and tries to kill u by squezzing, u'll nver break free because they have so much muscle to squeeze with. But it's increadibly easy to uncoil from the outside of a coil, so best to handle some snakes with a friend!
