Just you, WindSparrow. Just you.
I know that spiders are good, helpful things, and aren't really out to get me. I do. But something about how they move throws me into complete hindbrain fear, and I. Cannot. Deal.
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
They can be good and helpful things over there.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Spiders I am just allergic to mostly. But enough that they are not allowed in my home. First I evict and then, if they come back, I squarsh 'em.

Our wings are not tired.
I've gotten a bit better over the years, but not much.
I have 3 major phobias. Those things, needles, and heights. I have worked hard over the years to reduce the fear. Mixed success.
Living in Florida for the last 25 years has pretty much cured me of the first one. When I first moved here I would have to go and get a neighbor to rid my house of the badness before I could stay inside. So glad I acclimated to sharing my space with them, momentarily until I squash their ickyness. They don't upset me anymore, but I don't actually allow them to live in my house.
Needles were horrible for me, and I still have to sing, tap my foot, and go through routines to get through them. I didn't have an option because I had to have blood drawn every single week with both pregnancies because of sugar issues. Since I had to find a way to endure them it is much better now.
Heights are still an issue, but through much practice I can now drive over bridges and overpasses without hyperventilating. I am pretty good at climbing ladders now too. Balconies aren't happening in this lifetime though.
... Ha! The Suns are killing the Lakers. Yay!

I'm not as bad with heights as I once was.
Going to Macchu Piccu helped a lot. I could either enjoy myself or miss out and I learned to trust the stones beneath my feet as I scrambled over them. The Inca knew their bidness and those things had been there a thousand years or so. And I was oxygen deprived.

Thrive to spite them
I don't like heights at all. I was able to concur the fear enough to climb around in the back room of a store I worked at. I hate bridges. There's one close to here (that luckily I only deal with a few times during the summer) that gives me queasy.
Needles didn't bother me until I got older. As a kid it was fun to watch my blood getting drawn but not anymore. I have to turn my head and try and think of happy, slashy thoughts.

I just skipped like a thing that skips. What's going on folks? I'm stuck in a tech rehearsal.
