In our grade 12 World History class, Lisa revealed to me that she had many fears. Throughout the semester, I compiled a comprehensive list of her fears. Don't worry; she has no racist fears. And do not ridicule her; she has a good reason for each.
Her fears, in order of their discovery, are these:
- capital letters
- cheese
- universities
- swimming
- breast feeding, breast pumps, and other related paraphernalia
- getting a cut
- the economy
- the news
- stock market crash and/or recession
- failing
- spiders
- clowns
- Cirque du Soleil, and the interaction it entails
- lethal diarrhoea
- demons
- skeletons dancing around her body
- airplanes
- driving
- downtown in cities (mostly everywhere outside the town she lives in)
- malls
- parking lots
- lots of people
- taxis
- city buses
- Greyhound buses

- taxes
- mortgage
- getting stabbed in the eye by a monkey

- parachuting
- bungee jumping
- jumping out of a plane
- world-wide famine
- epidemics
- malaria
- travel
- cutting tomatoes
- our history teacher
- open-sea boating
- inflation
- the NDP party
- communism
- wave pools
- messed up schedules
- falling off a bridge while changing a tire
