Spiders. Especially ones that jump or crawl on you. Even the thought of it sends shivers down my spine...

I hate spiders.

So I'm guessing you find Tolkien's work a bit traumatising?

I assign take-home diagnostic essays to be handed over at the fourth day of classes, diagnostic quizzes on topics you're just about to learn in class so naturally you don't have any idea about but turns out the results of which will be recorded, and the fact that the first week of school is busy and tiring enough to give you a serious case of Downs withdrawal.

Nah. Just real life experiences and memories of real life experiences with spiders freak me out. There are dozens of spiders of all shapes and sizes that live in my home...it's not fun at all.

I assign Pre-Industrial Societies

I don't really like spiders either Brinniel... But I can't stand snakes! Even garter snakes! I was riding on my Papa's lawnmower tractor today out in his yard and there was this little snake that slithered as fast as it could across the lawn... It scared me half to death (Or not death...

) It was scary...
I live in a place with big moose that could kill you if you bug them, wolves, and bears that could rip your head off... I'm not scared of big animals, just snakes...
