    I know what you mean, I get the feeling that I am pushed towards the edge. It isn't so much the height but the possibity of falling. If there is no fence I won't come into a 5 meter of the ridge. My general rule, if it's higher than a tree I don't belong there.

    Last night in my dream I was waking down a big road, but there were no cars. And all of a sudden, I realise there's nothing under my right foot, and I have to rebalance myself, because I look down and there's a massive chasm so deep I can't see the bottom. I thought, hmm, that's strange, and went another way.

    The moral of the story is... I am beyond fear.

    Of course, I am not really. A regular fear of mine is finding myself walking into an exam room, to remember right then that I have done no revision! Now that's scary!

    I is joking. Well actually that dream story is true, I am not scared of the usual things. My actual fears are pretty rediculous, but man do they get to me.

    Debilitating, slow as well as painful disease, such as cancer for instance and bankruptcy/unemployment. I do not have any phobias really, rational or irrational, and I am not particularly afraid of death either. I would eat any bug as long as it is cooked too, so picking up cockroaches and spiders is OK with me.

    I don't think that's what he was referring to.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Heights.

    Virtually the only thing. I have very little fear of anything natural. Be it spiders, insects, cockroaches, millipedes, centipedes, I'm not really afraid of them anymore.

    I have no fear of snakes, spiders etc or the dark, living in australia, I would basically be a shut-in if I had these fears, and I have quite the opposite to a fear of heights. I love the feeling of free-falling, I particularly like jumping from waterfalls, and when I am on a tall building I quite often get a strong urge to jump so I can feel the rush of falling. Maybe I should take up skydiving.

    My greatest fear is the death of any family members.

    Sharp pointy things: I don't like my skin being punctured. I would rather catch the disease than get the needle to prevent it.

    Drugs, Alcohol, Medicine and other things: Anything that with how I think scares me. Thats partly why I refuse to drink, because nothing is with how I think.

    You got me a few times by doing that.

    Jacobs ladder is a set of ropes attached to a wire that is held between two trees. You attempt to climb the logs that are attached to the ropes. The tenth is the top, each other is steaidly higher, so the first you can step onto, next you have to pull onto and so forth. The three of you together have to give boosts and so forth to get up. I got to rung three and couldnt go any higher.

    my biggest fear?

    seeing *her* again,

    and maybe water(depending on the day of the week).

    otherwise, people find my attitude to "scary" things frighteningly apathetic.

    The school we went to has three campuses, two schools and a big farm property. Its called Ironbark and its a 35 day camp that Year 9 goes on.

    If you come to australia, you can go there over summer, but the rest of the year its taken up by the school.

    What about being on a Safari with no trees around and having a Chita running towards you at full speed, presumably to reach you in 5 seconds? I think I'd be scared of that natural thing.

    well, i think you have to be insane not to be scared when a cheetah (correct spelling ), or a lion, or a tiger, is running towards you. unless you have a very, very big gun.
