I have a fear that's sort of an opposite of acraphobia. I don't have a problem with being up high and looking down(at least, not much of a problem), but, for example, it scares the hell out of me to be standing on the ground looking up at the top of a 8+ story building. :(

Then there's bugs. I don't fear most of'em, but if I don't know what it is or some such, one would think that I'm deathly afraid of it. What I'm really worried about is whether or not they're poisonous.(Waking up with a poisonous spider in my bed once doesn't help this 'fear' any. :( )

I'm afraid of dying in fire, which is strange since I'm a bit of a pyromaniac. :D

I think the only other thing I'm afraid of are Trolls. :o Luckily, I'm a bit of a pyromaniac. :D

Sailor Saturn: Anablephobia is the fear of looking up. I think it would apply in this case. Is it because you feel small in comparison or is it a kind of invertigo kinda feeling?

The bugs, well that's common since phobia's are generally (i use the term loosely) based around something which you consider to be harmful to you. I can understand getting bitten by the bugs, and same with the fire, but looking up at the buildings, perhaps a feeling of being overlooked and perhaps crushed by the larger 'people' that walk by?

I do feel small in comparison. I'm not sure about the "invertigo kinda feeling" because I don't know what kind of feeling that would describe. :(

I have a fear of cutting open a vehicle, after an accident. Then finding someone I know, dead.

My biggest fear is waking up and finding out, that I have a large unit. :eek: :D :D :p

Eh, whatever, but lookey there! I've found the exact script:

"You think in Japanese, right? Just think in German."

"All right... Ba-- baumkuuhen..."

Ahahahahaha...
