ok, i'm freaking out.. just a bit

[Ava]

i couldn't sleep so i turned on my bed lamp and played some sudoku. out of the corner of my eye i saw a spider on my curtain, so i got up, grabbed a shoe and went to kill the spider. as soon as i got closer to it realized it was a very small black widow. i killed it of course, but i'm still freaked out. where there is one, there might be others. that movie arachnaphobia is replaying in my head right now.

:scared: i don't think i'm going to be able to sleep now.

1. You shouldn't have killed it. That makes the others mad.

Inviting it over for tea would have been better. Black Widows love tea.

2. don't say that! i was already worried

i might have pissed of the momma spider :rofl:

3. I caught a black widow once that was hangin' over my parents' bed

I didn't realize till after it was in the jar what it was. I was about 12. Freaked me out afterwards

4. You haven't seen "The Mist", have you?

No?

Then I won't tell you about the giant spiders from another dimension that shoot acidic silk that eats through your skin, and that lay their eggs in human hosts.

No, no reason to keep you up with that.

5. Don't worry so much

I got bit by one. I'm still here, with only minor alterations.

6. I am pretty sure I heard a bunch of them in the corner

plotting to strike you when you least expect it.:evilgrin:
