You Know That Urban Legend ...

[Sojourner]

Well I was just getting ready to turn out my light when I glanced over and saw a HUGE SPIDER DESCENDING FROM THE CEILING TO MY PILLOW.

I am now officially not going to sleep tonight, even though I killed it. I mean, what if it has friends, and its evil friends come after me in the dark?????

Phatmass eats Google spiders in the middle of the night.

yum ... I think


I'll note for the record that the reason I edited the opening post was that I messed up its/it's.

I went to high school with a guy who had a pet snake, and his older brother had a pet tarantula. He used to let the snake out so it could slither around and keep it's slim figure. Well, one night the snake was out for his evening jog and happened upon the unsuspecting tarantula. He ate it. So, the moral of the stry: buy a snake to eat all your spiders, especially tarantulas.

And that is why I will not kill spiders! The evil friends and family scare me! (Unless the spider violates our treaty of staying off my things. If it crawls on me or my things, it's dead. It's allowed on the floor or wall or whatever, but not on my stuff or my person!)

I have a similar treaty with spiders, but a little more stringent: they die if I can see them. Especially if they are dangling right above my pillow!!!! Clearly he was plotting an offensive action and had to die.

What's the worst that can happen? You will become like Peter Parker except you will be the first Spidergirl

Kirsten Dunst (Mary Jane..wonder how the author of Spiderman came up with that name ) has met her match!

Well ... it could forgive my unpleasant disposition and I would die. That would be the worst.

Of course, then maybe I would be on my way to be with Jesus which wouldn't be so bad ...

Indeed! I was looking for one last night ... the closest was ascension (implying that I was scared out of my skin).

I tried to get my roommates to follow this logic because there was a mouse in the apartment, and they wouldn't let me have my cat. Unfortunately they didn't go for it, but I really wanted to get a pet snake!

And yeah, that's just horrible. I saw that earlier today. Not cool.

See, that would be a violation of my treaty, too, because he is obviously going to try to crawl on me or my things. Dangling is close enough to touching that it will not be tolerated.
