    I never understood people that didn't like or are afraid of heights. I love heights. Anything that has to do with going up and coming back down (in a safe way) I'm in.

  • I hate the dark, but I really love going through the really dark and spooky rides. It seems quite normal to me.

    I've always had a problem with heights. I do a lot of free climbing now to get over that, and I've done some highroping stuff.

    I want to skydive eventually too.

    You see that's the thing, I am scared that if I go up high I might come back down in a bad way

    Weird. This is the second story today I feel like I got secretly drunk and wrote. I'd love to skydive, balloon, wing walk and base jump, but the heights thing is pretty bad with me.
