“I'm afraid of # out of 72 common fears"

If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counselling.
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 11-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or less, you’re fearless.
People who don’t have any are rare, or full of crap.

If your fear is not listed, write down your fear undearneath.

I really dislike climbing spiral stairs (in castles)--something to do with not seeing where I'm going perhaps, or the dark, enclosed space, or meeting someone coming down and there's no room to pass--not sure. But I make myself face it everytime and force myself to the top. Then, of course, my fear of heights kicks in!

Some references I didn't understand. I agree with the description although I've never played a practical joke in my life. I appreciate wordplay--Oscar Wilde, Noel Coward, Stephen Fry--if you get QI wherever you live, you'll know what I mean.

Your Taste in Music Says You're Wild

Your musical tastes are intense and rebellious. You are intelligent... but in a very unconventional way. You are curious about the world. You love doing something new. In fact, you enjoy taking risks and doing things most people would shy away from. You are very physical. It's likely that you're athletic, but not into team sports. You have the soul of an artist. Beauty and harmony are important to you.

I like this result because I'd love to be uninhibited enough to be wild! As for athletic? Never in a month of Sundays, although I do like to WATCH finely-honed bodies working up a sweat. *laughs behind hand

Thanks to versailles_rose

Not really a surprise!

 Aren't I the popular one? Tagged by gairid and hystree.

The rules are easy. Just post 10 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 10 people to post this meme on their LJs. 

1. My endearing, enduring husband, Gavin, for constantly  surprising me with his thoughtfulness.
2. Talking on the phone to my lovely daughter--the older she gets, the more of a friend she becomes.
3. Stroking Ella, the cat which lives a few doors down from us but thinks she lives with us.
4. Listening to the Kate Bush album 'Aerial'.
5. Watching 'Howl's Moving Castle'--Howl of the changing hair colour, who cries when it turns ginger.
6. Observing a class of 9 and 10 year olds creating a dance drama about zombies to theme of 'House on Haunted Hill'.
7. Sharing a meal with my parents last night.
8. Seeing a poster for 'The Ladyboys of Bangkok' , appearing in Liverpool this October.
9. Communicating with people I'll never meet, who live in countries I'll never visit, all through the wonder of the Internet.
10. And last but not least, anticipating our 28th wedding anniversary in a few week's time.

- Bold the five-ten that best apply to you.
- Copy to your own journal, with all twelve months under a lj-cut.
