Spiders Suck

I'll be honest....I don't like them. Out in the wild they are fine, but I see no reason for them to journey into my home. Daddy Long Legs don't creep me out nearly as much as the other guys because their legs are so skinny, but in a perfect world, I don't want to share my home with them either.

The first night I stayed in my new room I saw a spider scampering along the wall right next to my bed. I managed to get it, but that always stresses me out. The other week I saw a little one running happily along, but it ran too fast and I couldn't catch it. So you have to go to sleep with the knowledge that some little spider has the run of your room and may decide to scamper across your bed while you're in it sleeping. Sweet dreams.

Most recently I saw what must be one of the biggest house spiders I have ever seen hanging out on my wall. The friend that was on the phone with me at the time said I practically blew out his eardrum with my sounds of horror. This spider was HUGE. And then, in the midst of me being freaked out by the damn thing, it literally started gyrating! It was thrusting its pelvis as if to mock me and my horror. I was so unhappy with the situation, but I dug deep and found bravery within this spider-hating Shababbler, and I brought an end to the gyrating spider from hell. Three spiders in less than a month isn't that encouraging. And, not that I'd want to see one in my room, but I'd almost rather hold a tarantula than most other spiders. Well, only if the handler told me it was okay ;-p. I think that's because they seem more like furry friends than spiders. Anyways - spiders suck!!!
