Bugs

September 9th:

Sorry to disappoint any of you geeks who thought that I was going to talk about bugs in software - that is not the case. I'm talking about hairy, hoppy, leggy, flyin', nasty bugs.

See, usually I'm pretty tough when it comes to bugs. I don't like squishing them, but I am more than happy to touch and catch them to put them outside (sometimes with a tissue cause of eww). I don't save them from death because I think they deserve life, but because I don't like killing them. Simple as that.

One thing I ABSOLUTELY hate is when there are bugs flying around my room when I am trying to sleep - hitting walls or buzzing by my ear. I can't go to sleep if I think there's a bug that will potentially land on my face. I ALWAYS get out of bed and hunt it down. Usually I'm too tired at this point to care about squishing them, so they die.

Another thing I dislike is when there are bugs on me. Now, caterpillars, pill bugs, moths, ect. are okay. I like holding those little monsters. But ants, bees, spiders, june bugs, most beetles... gaaahhhhh. Now, I don't have anything against spiders in particular, but my experience tonight was nightmarish.

THIS MONSTER was in my bathroom while I was taking a shower tonight. It was on the ceiling, then dropped onto this roll of toilet paper. Now, bugs don't SCARE me, they just kinda gross me out if they're touching me or my food. This thing SCARED me. O.o

That is a gargantuan spider. Not big, not large, but Brobdingnagian (Brobdingnagian |ˌbräbdiNGˈnagēən|adjective; gigantic). Not big like a tarantula, but still, enough to give even me the heebie-jeebies. I made my dad kill it. Not on the toilet paper - I was very specific in my directions about that. No way in heck was I gonna wipe with bug guts.

So, that's all. Do you have strong feelings about bugs?

Keep it classy, fellow humans!
