I think that how you spell it, phobias. Anyway, excuse me if I am wrong. Who would think I was in top set for English? Ah well.

Ok, most of us have phobias (If you spell it like that) something that we are 'scared' or 'afraid' of. Most phobias have names such as Arcanicphoiba (How was I meant to spell that?) where people are scared of Spiders. There are many names for diffrent phobias.

Many of us maybe even scared to tell our friends of our phobias as they are so pathetic.

So, how many of you have phobias of something?

I have one of Pigeons :-<, I walk down the town and try and dodge them. in fact one swooped at me the other day protecting his territory.

My phobia of pigeons started when I was walking down the town one day and suddenly, out of nowhere, flew a pigeon out of a bin. i did'nt even see it come. It shocked me so much that now I hate going near them, I walk in my posse down the town and silently dodge them.

So what are you phobias and how did you get them? Have you ever tryed to get rid of your phobia and how?

Does anyone know the phobia of Pigeons? LoL!

And yes, I am afraid of Trafalger Square.

I'm not majorly claustrophobic but I refuse to go on lifts. Even if they're glass I will not go on them.

I'm mildly claustrophobic. Just little things, like being squashed on a table. I feel like running around when something like that happens.

(Just the little things... he says...)

Had a dream about a really weird beach where there was an electric shark that was like the electric eel. Man that was freaky!!! I probably had that dream becuase I'd been watching films of great white's all night...

I think I'll try and put this back on subject... phobias are a very interesting subject, and shouldn't be afraid of admitting them.

(Irony for you.)

So mine.

Eyes. I can't stand them. I can't look at them... it always feels as if their eyes are poking down inside me, deep into my own eyes.

I'm not sure if it's a confidence problem or not, but I just can't stand people looking at me. It's like being beaten down to a pulp...

But then, like Rasta, I am extremely intrigued by them. I like to see pictures of eyes, as they are incredibly beautiful... and I draw eyes a lot too. Strangely, I'm a hopeless artist, but I seem to find it easy to draw eyes quite accurately, even when I can't look at them. The rest of the face looks like a potato, but the eyes are always very well defined. I spend a lot more time concentrating on them.

The colours of eyes interest me too...

Ok, so anyone else with a phobia?

Hornets look like having a great shot at an eastern conference final spot against Milwaukee this year. Admittedly down 2-1, but both teams have taken one game by 10 pts on their home courts, hornets lost by 1 at milwaukee. Now each team has 2 home matches left in the series (if it goes to 7 games), and with the momentum firmly with the Hornets, it looks like a great shot for the outsiders.

Consider if you will, Toronto's 2-1 lead over eatsern 1st seeded Philly. Vince put on a a heck of a show in game 3 i hear, and whoever wins the series, if philly are on the form to struggle with the raptors whenever someone steps up, and the raptors continue to be the raptors, hornets look like a non too unlikely shot at a finals place (probably to be against the lakers, or maybe the spurs). And once you're there, anything can happen!

Okay, fair enough if you (everybody) couldn't care less, but if you share the love for the game, this is my insight.

Anyway, blame sr for calling me a newbie!!!
