I am phobic of vomit.  Since I live in a college town, I have to deal with it all the time.  It's so ridiculous how much puke is always on the sidewalk or on my car or something and seeing vomit makes me shiver.
yeah if I see or hear someone vomiting I usually at least gag a little bit

last night though one of my roommates was puking his brains out and I was fine so maybe I'm alright now heheh

I don't believe you one bit. It sounds like you mentioned that only because Bob mentioned water/sea.

I'm afraid of whales though.

well that's nice you obviously don't know how good i am at lying.

sea mammals aren't creepy, it's every other thing. i went on a deep sea fishing trip and that's how i found out i really don't like sea things! the boat floor was covered in sea slaters, these giant trillobite things, and then the fish themselves were frightening.

I'm afraid of snakes and heights.  I tend panic whenever I'm anywhere near a snake.   Which is bad for the snake, because it means he's about to get his head bashed in with the nearest blunt object.

 As for heights, it seems they only effect me when I'm out in the open.  I tend to get dizzy and start to worry about falling off of whatever I'm on.  If I'm on an airplane though I have no fear of them, and actually enjoy looking out the window.  That strikes me as totally fucking weird.

I don't like the general things... Bugs, deep water, tight spaces, needles, robbers, etc. I used to have a slightly irrational fear of small chainsaw-wielding midget serial killers hiding in various shelves and closets in my house, no joke.

Since thejackyl mentioned video games....did anyone else get sort of nervous while riding the airship in TWoR in FFVI? Knowing you could run into Doom Gaze at any random time was sort of creepy for me.

water i can't see the bottom of, i'm like a fucking dog. even in video games it creeps me, something could come out of no where and swallow me alive or bite me and half, or just plain drag me down a thousand feet to the bottom of the ocean.

Holy shi-

You just described me. If I can't see the bottom of the water, NO WAY I'm going in. I know how to swim though, but again without my goggles, NO WAY I'm going swimming.

the sound of a drum symbol IN REVERSE, that shit is pretty creepy

Yeah it is. When I used to do ambience themes, I always used it because it's good for building suspense. It's used a lot in horror movies for that reason. ;)

Paper towels

I just can't stand how they feel D:
they're all dry and icy O_o

other than that I can't think of anything
If an image says a thousand words, and a video shows 24 images each second, then why couldn't they condense everything I needed to learn at school into one hour long video :V

Or when you RUB THE PAPER TOWEL AGAINST YOUR EAR REAL SLOWLIKE. You should also try it with 1-ply toilet paper. Gets stuck in your ears and is freaking annoying.

I don't like a lot of things. I take off my glasses before I go to bed, and I see all these bullshit figures MOVING AROUND in my room, esp. when I'm half asleep, because then they turn into stuff and tend to EAT ME or something. Fricking hell. Hate heights too, with a passion, although I don't mind being on rollercoasters (well, that was before Final Destination III).  Also, I don't like walking on the left side of a road (or the right, for you Europeans) -- don't like the oncoming cars (developed a phobia after flipping signs on the sides of roads. And hitting people's cars. But that was only once).

Speaking of which, I also hate walking across a crosswalk when a car is about to turn and the dumbass driver ISN'T LOOKING at me, but in the other direction. I also hate swimming -- we were given two feet, and not flippers, for a reason. I also don't like guns. Don't mind playing videogames, but if I'm around a real gun I can hardly stand the sight of it. I used to have a roommate who was in the military and brought home a sub-machine gun, a couple of supposedly "dead" GRENADES, and this fricking huge rifle. And he puts them ALL right on the dining room table. What if the damn cat pulled one of the pins on the grenades or something, geez?

But what freaks me out most of all are those pictures of those stupid deformed newborn babies with red eyes and..freaky...whatever I havne't even looked at one long enough to know what the thing looks like, that's how fricking scary they are. If my wife had one of those suckers I owuld seriously have to go to the psychiatrist or something. Holy mother of shit, I've got shivers just thinking about htem.

EDIT: Also I am afriad of the internetz.

The plane thing is the same for me, but even if I'm on a rollercoaster or inside somewhere and looking down, I get really afraid. It's only on planes that I don't, and am instead very interested in looking out.

I'm also oddly afraid of when I'm walking near a car, for the car to run over a small object or rock and have it go flying at me.

I like swimming, but not when it's deep. I like to be able to touch the floor.  I'm afraid of a lot of other things too.

Maybe it's fear of the unknown... but that... is one of the few things that I am truly afraid of. Even in lakes I'm crazy unnerved.

I'm not good with things around my neck. Shirts and collars are OK, of course, but TIGHT stuff is awful. I can't wear ties or anything, and I hate it when people's hands are wrapped around my throat. After a short time I usually start gagging, regardless of pressure.

Oh and a weird one: you know those cotton ball things? They're fine to see, but I CANNOT stand the texture. It makes me shudder.

Silk does the same thing to me that cotton balls do to you.  A few other fabrics do that too, but most of them are somewhere near silk.  It kind of makes my teeth hurt to feel them and I don't get why.

Velfarre we seriously have the same exact thoughts it's just that you put them into words first

also Sim Ant scared the hell out of me, with the fucking spider that takes up half the screen and then if you die you hear little cute ant noises as it's chomped to death :( and like, the sound of antennae snapping. That eel from SM64 was pretty creepy too

the only problem is that the first part of your post contradicts the second part of your post because i loved sim ant (although the spider was not ENJOYABLE it didn't freak me out)
