Kinda like Woodstock for kids?

Without mud, sunburn, nudity, or bad acid!! But not a lot of socialization either so it would have the downside that all TV shows have ;-)

Heights, definitely, and darkness so dark that I can't see my hand in front of my face.

I'm afraid of 5 things:

1.) Clowns - I was dropped by one on stilts when I was 3.
2.) FIREWORKS - a windy 4th of July my family and I went to the boardwalk to watch them. The wind picked one up before it went off and it dropped on my lap, burning my legs through jeans. My pants were on fire. My grandfather pushed me into the sand to stop the fire. I can't watch them on TV. Need to take sleeping pills on the 4th of July. Hearing them rattles me.
3.)Spiders/Snakes - they're tied for third place
5.) Cats - was scratched badly when I was 5. Needed 5 stitches! I will *not* be in a room with a cat. I have to leave.

Ugh, my bathroom is full of ants right now and in the dead of winter. Glad I am not afraid of them.

Can't really think of anything I am afraid of, oh wait bulls, but only if I am in the same small space or trying to move them to another place. I do have lots of dislikes but fears,not really.
