I was computing here this morning, just minding my own business when this! scooted quickly across the floor near me. At first I was like what the heck is that!? I've never seen a centipede like this before, like a combination spider/centipede. Gross. Maybe the spiders and the centipedes have nests near each other in my apartment. *Shudder* I hate to think of what goes on in all the nooks/crannies/behind-the-walls here that I can't see. How can I be sure that any table I sit at doesn't have a wallpaper of spiders and nasties on the underside of it? Gah!
Sometimes bugs don't bother me. I can take care of the little guys no problem.. but when it comes to anything bigger than the little guys (mainly the things with large dangling limbs or multitudes of fast-moving legs) no way. They make me do the bug dance, which consists of stomping my feet around/running away and performing a brushing motion all over my body as if they were covering all over me. There's still a huge dead wasp laying on my window sill next to a spool of thread. I'll suck him up next time I vacuum. This is the window/corner that my sewing machine and relateds are in, including a pile of clothes I have yet to alter for Jonathan. Sooo, you might want to wash those before wearing them. Save yourself a bug dance.
Anyway I sprayed Windex on the spiderpede, and then covered him with a Missouri State University mug. Die.
good god, i hate bugs. i do the same bug dance, and may have a worse phobia than you because i can't even suck them up with a vaccuum hose. i hate them so much that i fear hearing them or feeling them hit the walls of the hose as they suck up into it.
ReplyDeletewindex, however, is my best friend. and then i just ask raj to pick it up after the ammonia has worked its wonder. he chased a grasshopper into the kitchen the other day. he tries to capture them and release them back into the wild, but usually ends up killing them with the force of capturing, lol.
"Die." made me laugh.
