I was going to say acrophobia (fear of heights), but aeroacrophobia (fear of open high places) is a lot more accurate. biggrin Before I moved in with my heart pookey heart , my apartment was on the 18th eek floor and I was fine looking out on the window and stuff. But as soon as I get on the rooftop of my building at work (could be considered 7th floor) I'm freaking out. I can't get anywhere near the edge or I get sick. sweatdrop Pain in the bum, i tell you. xp

Aracnaphobia and aeroacrophobia. I used to love spiders, but one day my pet tarantula died and my dad chased me down and made me hold it and I didn't like it. I only hate them if they get on me. I dont care if they are jsut sitting there.
As for hieghts, I used to climb this tree in my back yard when i was little. But I got stuck up there and well the rest is ovious.

well, heres a story about arachnaphobia for ya ^-^
I was at my friend Loryns house. All was going well and it was like 1:30 in the morning and we were playing paper mario 2 (i that game). I was starting to get uncomfortable so i went to put my pj's on. I went into her bathroom and changed. I looked up and to my horror there was the BIGGEST ******** SPIDER I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!! i stared in shock at it for about 30 seconds and then i screamed(for some reason this did not wake her mom up...odd....). I ran out and i grabbed on to Loryn and was babbling so she couldnt understand me. She poked me on the side of the head to get me out of the stupor. I told her that i saw a spider. So, Loryn, thinking that it was a little spider (i freak out about spiders smaller than a pin head) grabbed my flip flop and went in to get it. She came out screaming and saying EEPEES!!! she looked at me and started to freak out. So, we looked everywhere for a shoe but couldnt find one (ironic, the biggest spider ever and no shoe to go with it.....life sucks ......dont laugh at me, the spiders body itself was as big as a normal persons eye!!! ) . So, we get hairspray. Dont think otherwise, hairspray is a deadly thing to spiders, it makes them die^^. Unfortunately, the plan backfired. The spider fell behind a mirror.......and was still alive . So loryn, being miss 'I just happen to have everything that we need in my room' gets a blowgun. while shivering in fear, i moved the mirror back and Loryn shot the b*****d spider 3 freaking times with the blowgun!!!! Its hard enough to shoot big things with the blowgun, let alone a spider that can move!! We celebrated with lots of sushi and more Paper Mario 2(still that game). Then Loryn drew this really cute anime style picture of Vivian and we were happy^^ END

Myrmecophobia- Fear of ants.
It's not so much of a fear of ants as more as an intense dislike of the creepy crawly bugs.
Tonitrophobia- Fear of thunder.
Once again, it's not a fear, more like an intense dislike.

 Don't worry, Jade, you aren't the only Monk-ish one here. xd
Phaedra's Phobias: (Yes, in order, and yes, I know some of them *should* cancel each other out, but they don't.)
1: Anthropophobia- Fear of people or society.
2: Autophobia- Fear of being alone or of oneself.
3: Demophobia- Fear of crowds.
4: (Pretty much the same, I guess... it's got to be dead to decay)
