Just out of interest. Also, I was wondering if anyone could help with a question i have - What is the fear of Tornadoes called? (In the Nintendo Forum I suggested Cycloniphobia). If anyone asks, I'll tell them why I have a fear of Tornadoes, Twisters, Waterspouts etc.

Well I never noticed it. Let's just get back to the topic, okay?
Ah yes but there was a phobia post the other week. Made by me. And was used...To death.
Well, sorry, although I shouldn't need to be. It's just that this could be a serious Thread, what with all these Phobias, and I'm just trying to liven it up a little bit - if only a little.
"Phew, long post."
Thats it now. I've done enough. No more pointless posts for me.
You on the other hand, will no doubt carry on.

You're called H20...and you don't like creatures that LIVE in H20? Oh well.

Say what?
Do you have to say that?
From my point of view, you and silent thunder are trying to inflate this place full of pointless crap.

Phew, long Post!
In case anyone is wondering, this is why I have a fear of Cyclones (I don't mean the SR user called Cyclone ^_^)
I was on the annual "Long Distance Walk" with my school a while back (I was only 11). It was at least 25 degrees Celcius, and I had no sun-cream on. I was so hot and dehydrated I was hallucinating - the clouds looked pink and green, and the ground seemed to wobble. There was a very strong gust of wind - I was so weary I just thought nothing of it. Then, the sand started whipping up, and something veered toward me - I jumped aside as quickly as I could. I turned around...and there was a six-foot Dust Devil spinning behind me.
I looked back five seconds later...and I immediately ran in the opposite direction - the Dust Devil was now even bigger, and was lifting grass and paper up, whirling them around, and throwing them out. It died down a few seconds later. Even though it only lasted 20 seconds and it was small for a cyclone, it still scared the heck out of me.
Since then, I have ALWAYS hated anything that causes an uncontrollable cyclone - even in videogames, I just CANNOT go near Tornadoes (check the Nintendo Forum for more info). Some are alright, but ones which look like they're over 20 feet high and can suck you right up are VERY scary to me. For example, I was playing one game, sailing around in a boat, expecting a Tornado. I thought it would be a big, black spinnign cloud, so when the rain started and the winds picked up in the game, I braced myself. Then, a Tornado that looked like it was basically a continuous line appeared - I got out of there.
A few seconds later, it appeared to be gone. I sailed along, expecting the Tornado to come back on the right side of me. It wasn't there. I looked left - I was face-to-face with it, about 10 metres away, and I just turned the game off. Very frightening.
This may sound like a weird Phobia, but if anyone else has it, please say so...just so I know that I'm not alone. The onylt ime I go near a cyclone is when I make one in a bottle :)

That wont change your appetite either. Seeing them underwater is so eerie.
