Yeah mate I remember. Can't really afford it alongside everything else but I just thought 'fuck it'. It's a long way to go and not do it! Edit. The man made lake which was caused by Hoover dam is pretty epic aswell. Yeah the dam looks epic. I have hired a car to drive down into Arizona for a bit. Will stop of at the dam for sure. |

Confined spaces, or rather, spaces where I cannot stand up freely. A tall but narrow space I'd be alright with. I didn't have an issue until I was about 15/16 and grew. A lot. Now I'm 6' 1" with long arms and legs so I am really not a fan. Spelunking is pretty much my worst nightmare. I just had to look that word up. Never come across it before in my life. Reminds me of a school trip I went on in Derbyshire years ago. A teacher basically forced me to go "potholing" against my will. Seriously, he sort of physically put me under the ground, claiming I would "Enjoy it once I was down there". Sheer panic. Just enough room to fit my head through. Which is fine, except I HAD to wear a helmet. So I got stuck. And guess what. The more you struggle, the more stuck you get. |

I get a tad uncomfortable interacting with people I don't know. I never know what I can and cannot say and in that dilemma I usually end up speaking next to nothing.

Actually that used to be huge for me too. I'm much more comfortable interacting these days but a few years ago I would look at the ground and let out a squeak when meeting people. Except when I was drunk so I was drunk all the time.

Raj is over it and so am I. |

Yeah I always had the same group of friends and when it came to meeting someone new I'd really try not to. Age has taken care of most of it. But still, on the odd day that I happen to meet someone new it rears its head ever so slightly....

Heights do it for me. I'm a proper wimp where they're concerned. Also another I recently discovered is Trypophobia, which is basically the fear of small holes, look it up to get an idea. It really makes my skin crawl.

Wasps. Hate the fucking things. I'd gladly wipe them all off the face of the earth. When I was a kid I was waiting with my ma' for my older brother to come out of school. When I saw him coming I picked an apple up off the floor to chuck at his head. Bad move. The half of the apple I couldn't see when I picked it up had been bitten and inside lurked a big fucking wasp. Nasty bastard. 6 foot long he was. Or that's how I remember him anyway. Stung my hand for ages before stinging my mates baby brother. Horrible cunt quickly met his end at the hands of a Nike Air.
I'm also terrified of heights and death. Deaths my worst fear probably. I can run away from wasps and avoid going up high, but death finds us all. Scary.

I had a fear of ferris Wheels and unstable heights in general. Found out that i nearly slipped out under the safety bar on a gypsy ferris wheel when i was a child that i subsequently blanked out.
I have a fear of certain things that human beings just should not do - confined spaces underground, bunjee jumping, sky diving, gliding. Also Jaws keeps me away from sea swimming.

I never know what I can and cannot say and in that dilemma I usually end up speaking next to nothing. 2nd this, although it depends on what topic of conversation comes up then it eases itself a bit. Wouldn't say it's a phobia but Wasps and Bee's are evil little shits. Soon see my top speed when those fuckers are around. Anything that's related in any way to a liver bird gives me the creeps aswell. Horrible things. |
