I am embarassingly prissy and wimpy.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

Sure I may like to fight and cuss and handle pythons, but this scene just unfolded in my bedroom:

I'm sitting on my futon bed, watching "Rescue Me" with the iBook at my side, when a GIANT MOTHERFUCKING SPIDER LANDS ON MY FUCKING ARM!!!!!!!!

I scream and starting jumping up and down while flailing. After what seems like forever, I run off the futon. I do not see the GIANT MOTHERFUCKING SPIDER on my futon. I resume flailing and strip, because the GIANT MOTHERFUCKING SPIDER might be lurking inside my shirt or something.

I'm wearing different clothes now and the offending one's are in the wash. I'm sleeping on the basement couch tonight.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

1. I'm the same way,

I would have washed my hair because I always think its in my hair.

[Shakespeare]

2. Every superhero has her one weak spot.

Mine, too, is spiders. :scared:

[Ava]

3. I HATE spiders!

i was bitten by a brown recluse once... it wasn't pretty.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. My fear started after I woke up with a spider bite on my face.

:scared:

[Ava]

5. EEK!

you know what else i'm deathly afraid of?



roaches... i know it's silly since they don't bite or anything, but i flip out when i see a roach. when i was really little i had nightmares about them!

[idgiehkt]

6. bless your heart.

it's a normal reaction. 'cause spiders can hurt you if they are poisonous. Spiders don't bother me too much, unless they get on me like that one got on you.

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. I'd say, 'There's the chink in the armor'

But it's un-PC to say "armor" anymore. x(



:hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. The other chink is I can be dropped to the ground instantly with a kick

to one of my shins. I'm not saying which one.

[crim son]

8. "I'm sleeping on the basement couch tonight."

I'm sure spidey's gone back to his nest and is cavorting with hundreds of stickly, clinging spiders just his size or bigger. And you know where that nest is located, don't you?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. Allow me to live in my delusion that there will be no chance of dropping

spiders in the basement.

[crim son]

11. Mmmkay. It's your face!

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. You're an ass.

Spiders are seriously scary.

[crim son]

15. No, I'm a gardener.

I'm used to them. It's true though that I don't like them to take me by surprise.

[LostinVA]

41. In the basement.!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

42. There were no spider incidents in the basement.

I slept soundly on the super comfy couches. Anyway, our basement is totally finished off, not buggy at all. It's like a big underground playground for drunk adults.

[LostinVA]

43. They were probably watching you the wole time

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

44. You're mean.

[LostinVA]

46. They may have even took photos of you that are posted on

their Myspace pages RIGHT THIS SECOND.

Did you pick apples yesterday?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

47. No, we moved it to next weekend.

[Aristus]

12. You should be ashamed, haruka.

Spiders are our friends! B-)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

14. If it's indoors, we're mortal enemies.

If it wants to be my friend, it can stay outside.

[Aristus]

18. Mosquitos, gnats, midges, earwigs, silverfish, bedbugs and flies

all get inside, too. And guess who eats them?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

19. My cats and my lizards.

No spiders needed.

[judaspriestess]

spiders are scary

my cat just loves having bouts with really big ass spiders out here in the desert. Every time I squish a spider, I feel so bad about it and I have to ask for forgivness :(

I don't feel the same about cockroaches though :)

[gkdmaths]

16. eh, you sissy!

I scramble spiders and pythons with my eggs in the morning.

:evilgrin:

[mainegreen]

17. That sounds like this nightmare I have.

Spiders are evil personified.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

20. SPIDERS ON A MOTHERFUCKIN' ARM!

Oh, come on, you knew that was coming. :D

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

21. I know.

I deserve it.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

22. I have no problem with spiders.

Rodents and reptiles, on the other hand... :scared:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

23. I have four reptile tanks in my bedroom.

Only one of the inhabitants has a taste for human blood.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

24. Ok, now I need to change my pants.

:(

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

25. ...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. Damn you and your reptilian army!

And this is for you, BTW:



:evilgrin:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

49. Awww...He looks like he's smiling for the camera.

What a cutie.
Duckie

[khashka]

26. LOL!

A woman who has no fear of snakes totally loses it over a spider!

They are usually gentle, non-venomous and respond to affection. Not to mention amazingly cool.

Spiders rock! One of my screen names is Spiderbrother....


Khash.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

31. If I didn't lose track of the fucker during my flailing and stripping...

I would have set one of the lizards loose on it.

[khashka]

33. OK you are to much for me

What man could resist a woman herpatologist who keeps lizards and flails around and strips at the very thought of something with eight legs?

Should I ask her to marry me? Probably not. Apart from the sexual issues, she won't like my spiders and my fascination with cockroaches would freak her out......

Khash.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

34. Hissing cockroaches and giant millipedes are actually pretty cool.

The cockroaches that normally invade houses and spiders are not cool.

[khashka]

37. Once again

We are almost a perfect match. Not quite but pretty close......

Since you can't do spiders or roaches (every man needs a hobby) how do you feel about weapons?

Khash

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

38. I like them.

I have quite the collection of swords, knives and assorted martial arts weaponry. The family owns a few guns, too.

I'm down with weapons.

[Arugula Latte]

45. I'm female, not afraid of snakes, but VERY afraid of spiders.

I know it's not rational. I just get a primeval reaction against spiders. :scared:

[NMMNG]

28. I'm the same way with spiders and many insects

:scared:

[Omphaloskepsis]

29. Is the iBook OK... ?

</Apple Nerd>

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

30. Yes.

I was actually very careful during my flailing and such to not damage the iBook at all.

[Omphaloskepsis]

32. Good to hear....

And, I'm glad you are OK too. Maybe my priorities are fucked up.

[BreweryYardRat]

35. If it's a wolf spider, leave it the hell alone.

They eat all the nasty bugs.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

36. So do my cats.

A spider's rights end when they enter my house.

[BreweryYardRat]

39. Okay, if you've got cats, no problem.

I didn't remember.

Should you ever find yourself catless (or lizardless, for that matter), remember my advice.

[billyskank]

40. Eh, there's nothing scarier than a giant motherfucking spider

scientific studies have shown this. And when one lands on your fucking arm is the most terrifying experience known to man (and woman).

[YellowRubberDuckie]

48. You did not just pluralize one with an apostrophe s.

Come on. Being scared of a spider is no excuse for bad apostrophe usage!!! :evilgrin:
:hug: I feel your pain though about the spider.
I was once taking a drink of a soda and a spider had crawled into it. It freaked me out and I could never drink out of that cup again.
Duckie

[La Lioness Priyanka]

50. i will marry the person who promises to kill all cockroaches

in my field of vision for the rest of my life....

this is how much i fear roaches...

i can handle spiders though....if theres ever a spider in our future apt in brooklyn..i'll remove it for you

:hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

51. And I can deal with killing roaches.

:hug:

[benEzra]

52. Don't feel bad...

my wife is friends with a former Green Beret and all-around tough-ass who is ABSOLUTELY freaked out by spiders. If somebody put a tarantula in his house, he'd probably shoot it with a 12-gauge, furniture be damned.

For my wife, it's roaches. She says it's something about the way they move.

[Guava Jelly]

53. Shit i would jump myself

I normally catch them in a jar and throw them outside.
I only kill them if i have no other option.
You are far to tough to be labled "prissy and wimpy"
At least i aint gonna do it you'll behead me :)
