I can’t have any pens or pencils pointing at me with their writing ends. Like, when I’m studying and I put my pen in the center of the book where the binding is, I always put it down so that the writing end is facing away from me.
I watched a lot of horror movies as a child, and too many times Freddy Krueger has been able to move things into people’s chests. But it ain’t gonna happen to me! I’m prepared.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm…PB, I’m sure there’re lots of “gentlemen” on the boards who’d like to help youout with that! 
Oh, and dragonlady, never fear; I’ve got gallons of the stuff! 
No silly shit for me here, I have two phobias, and they are horrible:
Emetophobia - the fear of vomit/vomitting in any form.
(I’m slowly getting over this, but nowhere near it)
This one I’ll probably never kick… I don’t know what the formal name is, but I have a deadly fear of being followed. I can’t walk up large, empty stairwells without turning around every other second.
right there with you on the clowns thing john. freaky aren’t they. i’ve known them in person, in and out of costume, and i don’t know which is worse. there’s a whole clown subculture that hs strict rules and everything. it frightens me on so many levels.
