Phobias. Does anyone know what phobias they have? I have at least five, but maybe I have more. I just didn't feel like looking down this GIGANTIC list of about 2000 phobias.

Cool! I can't really sound them out though....................

That must mean you have the phobia of long words. ;) I agree; I don't have superstitious fears either. Does anyone know what's so bad about Friday the 13th?
(March 26, 2009 - 6:53 am)
I do? Well, maybe. I look at the word, and think "Do I really have to sound that out?" and then I just take a little look at it and sigh and then move on to what it means. hehehe! I never thought of it that way! :D:D:D

I have a phobia of pancakes. Flipping them, specifically. Once I was flipping a pancake and some hot batter splattered my eyelid and gave me a 2nd-degree burn. This was a year ago, and I haven't been able to flop a pancake since. And anytime someone flips a pancake in my general vicinity, I flinch. Really.
I wonder what the word for 'Intense fear of pancake flipping is'?

I have a really, really stupid one.
...I'm terrified of digital spiders. Not real spiders, just CG ones that you find in computer games all the time. I literally can't play games (such as Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) with digital spiders.
No, I'm not joking. They freak me out.
Don't laugh.

I'm not laughing. Don't worry, we all have stuff like that!!! (including yours truly)
