You can get buried in a root cellar. A building can collapse on top of you. These are the subconcious associations we have with being underground. Underground equals death/suffocation/burial. I say this as someone who is not afraid of being underground or in tight places, generally, but as I age, I identify more with this fear. I am terrified of heights. I know the idea of reincarnation isn't for everyone and as a Catholic I am torn to even mention this. But there is a theory that our phobias are lingering memories of a trauma or even death in a previous life. I have been afraid of heights my whole life and as a small child had recurring nightmares about being an adult male soldier and jumping out of a helicopter. Trust your fears. They keep you safe. #29 is so not irrational. You can get buried in a root cellar. A building can collapse on top of you. These are the subconcious associations we have with being underground.

I knew some of those things about you, but a lot of them I didn't. You've led quite the interesting life... :) P.S. I'm scared of birds, too! My mom used to have one, and I would forbid her to take it out of the cage whenever I was there. When it WAS out, it would inevitably fly straight towards me -- causing me to shriek and throw my arms up to cover my face and head! Great list, Jen!

I love this list--so funny, so true and I can identify with many of these, particularly the crying at the sad commercial. Jen, Happy Birthday!!
