Water, I don't mind, I can at least feel the bottom most of the time. Ladders aren't fun, particularily because you have to walk backwards down them. I think that is the scary part.
I don't like going down stairs. Partially because I don't want to fall down, I'm scared of that. I like going up them, but they just look weird from above, so unstable. Especially spiral staircases.
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?

It was a syphilis test -- easy now! The state in which I got married requires of everyone who wishes to receive a marriage license to have this blood test. I think it's an old, Puritanical state law that was just never taken off the books.
I passed.

I'm not sure if I have any fears that amounts to actual phobias anymore. I used to be deathly afraid of tornadoes, but ever since I took a couple of severe weather classes in college, I find them more interesting now.
At the moment my biggest fear is knives, or basically anything sharp. I feel like they're horrific accidents waiting to happen.

Maybe they want to get a good look at you and see if the two of you are attractive enough to have offspring
Of course you passed.
There are people walking around with all sorts of diseases...totally oblivious; I've never figured it out...Remember, they say Al Capone had neurosyphilis when he died, mean stuff.

So, do you avoid the kitchen or just bad neighborhoods

And the train station near school. 
Is there a phobia for train stations?
I've got a phobia for ICT class and electronics class.
ICT because I sit next to this kid who was supposedly expelled.
Electronics because I am the only girl and we are in the shifty little room at the back of the school that doesn't seem to be attatched to anything.
I guess that isn't a phobia though. Only a fear.

Poor dear.
I don't know if I am or if I'm just regaining asthma from childhood.
I was never scared of heights until last new years eve. I don't know how it snuck up on me...

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia and hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia. Well, not really!
Fear of immortality. Is there any medical term for this?
This sentence contradicts itself - no actually it doesn't.

A phobia to being unforgiven, and another to being forgotten.

Whatever...
Heights...even watching them on screen. Like the skyscraper scene in King Kong or the platform fight scene in Star Trek. Even though heights scare me (a lot) it's doesn't really make my life difficult, just hilarious at times 
Also, it's not a phobia, but certain flying insects give me the screamin' heebie jeebies when they fly close to me. Moths (normal and giant) and those bugs that sit in trees and scream all day during summer...ugh...I only mention this because I had a giant moth encounter this evening, hehehe. The horror and skin crawlies are still fresh in my mind, lol! My family finds it hilarious and my mom always regrets not having a camera close by, seeing as I practically bounce off the walls trying to escape the little monsters!

I often have a phobia to barking dogs. The popular saying states that barking dogs never bite. Well, let me tell you it's a sovereign lie. Both dogs I've been attacked by have barked first, and bitten next. So don't you ever blindly confide in popular sayings. Experience in the field can prove them utterly wrong.

So now you're more of a cat person I suppose?

Well no kidding, an agitated dog will attack you. If not, then you are pretty lucky.
I've got a fear of sleeping and weirdos from your class are coming into your camp cabin. I mean, how can you sleep when you should probably be on guard? They are strangers after all.
