-closed-in spaces (I've always been claustrophobic to some extent)
-the new tornado slide at school (for years but I finally got over it)
-flying with my dad
-storms
-I was terrified of these two paintings that hung outside one of our bathrooms. One was of a boy and the other was of a girl, and I swear they could SEE me.
-getting a haircut -- there are pictures of me standing outside crying because I was so terrified
-putting on turtlenecks (see claustrophobia)
-I was kind of a hypochondriac too. I once thought I would die after some bug bit me.
-getting lost
-OH yes also the Wizard of Oz, mostly because of the witch getting smooshed under the house -- that scared the crap out of me.
-the Mud Monster -- I swear this was a cheesy movie I saw once where there was a mud monster and his hand was chopped off and sat on a stair waiting to grab someone and fling him or her down the rest of the stairs.
I was (am?) a freak!
