Not all spiders scare me, but certain ones, like the Brown Recluse, scare the living shit out of me. I have this fear that one will be crawling on my face, and when i panci and swat it away, it bites me, and then i get rotting necrosis on my face and end up horribly disfigured.... Wandering spiders scare me too.

I also have a horrible fear of extreme heights. the weird thing is this; i am afraid to be say, 60 feet above the ground in a building, but being in an airplane is exhilerating. if i am flying, no biggie, if i am on a structure of some sort 9or see it on tv), i damn near shit myself. There was a thing on Discovery last night (Etreme Engineering) about a building being erected in Europe called the Twisting Torso. its a big apartment complex shapped like a twizzler. Anyway, they were showing one of the tall-crane operators, and his crane was 500 feet in the air! He took an elevator to almost the top, but had to climb, outside, unprotected, up a ladder the last 20 feet (i'm sweating just writing this), and one of the days they showed, they shut down operations because the wind was going over 45 mph.... and he had to climb 20 feet of ladder, 500 feet off the ground... i kept saying "fuck that!' and got all tense and sweaty....

Brown Recluse spiders are some of the only deadly spiders here in Michigan. They are VERY quick and VERY poisonous. You have every right to be afraid of them ( I know I am).
