ok ok i'll tell the story of the butterfly phobia
i went to this place:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_World

before i continue i'll tell you that my shirt that day had pink and blue flowers on it (bad idea)

i went into the butterfly enclosure

the link says there are 3000 LIVE butterflies in there

i was a little girl wearing a flower print shirt
i was a little girl wearing a flower print shirt with many butterflies
coming my way quickly

thats all it took to set this phobia in forevermore

i screamed when my ears were pierced
i refuse to do it again

here is a bonus story explaining needle phobia
at some point i realized shots=bad, very bad

so in those days i screamed and everybody in the other rooms heard me
i would even fight to not have shots
it took my mom the doctor and several nurses to hold me down just long enough to get the job done
i was a girl and an adult could not hold me down

these days i can just barely stand needles
but i can only stand one

i'm not a pincushion

@angelsu:

i have to wear mine otherwise i won't see much other than fuzzy outlines of stuff

i've seen spiders that are abouts as big as the top of a soda can
and i've seen bigger: known as either golden orb or banana spider

as comparison a tarantula is about as big as a mousepad
a banana spider is about as big as a magazine (shivers)

haha im scared of spiders too lol and dont worry about the glasses thing. i have em too and my eyesight is just terrible >.< i have to get really close to read things if i dont have my glasses on it sucks XP
