Dear f-list....You are the only people on the net not to hear this story. Now you shall hear it.
So I woke up early this morning to get some school done (go figure) and I make a pit stop first of course, because I'm human, to the bathroom. I don't have on my glasses yet, but upon entering, I notice a very, very, very, very, very large black spot on our white (boring) tile floor. Squinting, I see that it is.........................A SPIDER. It is very large. I have arachnophobia, and I'm not exaggerating whatsoever. I start shaking and hyperventilating and my heart beats incredibly fast when I see them. I'm completely barefoot, and I have no defense against this horrid creature. So! I brave it up. I go back into my room, give myself a pep talk, put on shoes and grab a flip flop. I'm going to kill it. I'm going to muster up the courage to squash it. So I go back into the bathroom. It's still there, where I left it. I grab a can of Oust! deodorant spray...I try and drown it out.
Bad idea. I made it angry. It scurries away, while I nearly scream. I thought maybe if I was lucky the spray could have had some harsh chemical in it that would act as some sort of poison to it, but no....So, I search around a bit, find that it's climbing up the bathroom curtain....I can't do it. I'm so freakin' scared! So.....What do I do? I ponder for about 15 minutes outside my father's bedroom door....Do I wake him up at 6:00 AM for nothing but to kill a spider? I hear him snoring and feel incredibly guilty.
I ran.
That spider is still surviving, somewhere, lurking in the shadows of my home....
Ugh! *shivers*. I hate spiders. And I had had another encounter with one several weeks ago, same scenario, but I sat on top of a desk because it came at me! I strongly believe it was the same spider, because it was huge....And out for vengeance.
In completely unrelated news...!
I finished two books! Go me!
( Very miniature review here. )Anddd....I suppose an audio book counts!
( Yet another very brief review....Again, no spoilers :) )Sigh! In other news...I'm plotting for some fundraising activities sometime this weekend. Wish me luck!
Also, anyone know how to record on Skype? I was thinking I should do a run through podcast, but I'm really tempted to watch Slumdog Millionaire with my parents tonight....Oooh, I hate breaking plans, but the temptation is overwhelmingggg.
