Writer's Block: Phobias
I am SO afraid of heights.
I remember one time when I was younger I went to a carnival with my dad and after riding a bunch of roller coasters and other rides he suggested that we chill out for a bit by riding the ferris wheel...the kind that goes around once, then stops for about a minute so you're left sitting in a tiny swinging basket hundreds of feet above the ground...
The ONLY reason I agreed was because I figured that there would be a really small chance that we would end up in the #1 seat, you know, the one that stops at the tip top.
Extreme fear of heights + Murphey's Law= I end up in the a small swinging basket at the tip top of a ferris wheel. I spent the rest of the ride hyperventilating while sitting on the floor of the basket and refusing to move.
Give me a roller coaster any day! I love 'em!! But one ride on a ferris wheel will turn me into a hyperventilating mess. Go figure.
