Spider has been vanquished! Dad told me to just go to sleep and forget about it but I was glad I hadn't listened when I moved the bed and found said spider crouched at the head of it, literally *inches* from my pillows. *shudders* I then did the not-so-brave thing and screamed for dad to rescue me and he put it out the window. *looks a little sheepish* I was planning to sleep on the sofa otherwise.
*clings back* Ngh. Not what I needed after a night with no sleep!
Ah, spiders. We used to have a lot more, that sister would then be forced to kill after I screamed like a girl, but now we have more wasps. I'm not sure which is less fun because the spiders are all crawley and creepy but the wasps can sting.
hmmmm, if "you" don't like spiders you'd "best" aviod the latest and greatest installment of The Holywell Tales™ that I have just posted on your "site".
For more stupid uses of speech marks around random words come to Holywell
It seems to be our time of year for spiders, though the one this morning was the only huge one I've seen. I can cope with anything less than an inch across and after that the screaming like a girl comes in. :) I'd take spiders over wasps any day though. I've been known to fall out of bed with a scream at the sound of something buzzing, only to realise it's someone mowing their lawn and not a wasp at all. *sheepish*
YAY for more Holywell Tales! Though were there actually that many spiders in your tent? o_O I'm so glad I wasn't there. I'd have run screaming away and probably not stopped till I was home.
Sounded like you could've been blown up by beer kegs or set on fire or something though. *pats you on the head* I'm glad you weren't. I need you to buy Scrubs for me to watch. ;-)
I have been deathly afraid of spiders ever since one decided to crawl up my bare leg. It wasn't big, but it freaked me out.
The wasps are in our ceiling and can't get at us, but are still freaky and they hang around in the light fixtures that are in the ceiling and buzz and then die. SO we have many dead wasps in the lights.
o_O Ngh, I don't blame you. I hate even *thinking* about spiders crawling over me. Too many legs.
... I don't think I could sit there, knowing there were wasps above my head. I firmly believe if any insects are born malicious, then wasps are. I'd be freaking out just seeing the dead ones. *winces*
We don't have that many dead ones. 30 or so. And there's one thats alive, but it helps when you know they can't get at you and the heat from the lights is going to kill them, especially if they insist on flying into it.
Only 30? Well that's okay. *whimpers* I guess I can watch them on the other side of a window, so knowing they couldn't get me wouldn't be so bad. And the more dead wasps, the less live ones there are to bother us. *nods*
When you consider how many probably live in a hive ... or do wasps have nests?, then 30 isn't bad.
The sad thinga bout wasps, there's probably more of them in Canada then there are people in the world. There's like a billion species of arthropods, some with quite fascinating adaptations. We covered it in bio last year.

Date: 2005-08-31 06:23 am (UTC)I know. I saw it go under the bed and was determined not to sleep until I got rid of it. I'm so glad I didn't decide to just ignore it. *shudders*

Possibly I'll buy a lot of insect repellant to bring with me when I come then. o_O Evil wasps.

Well, we do have a lot of forests, so we have a lot of bugs. It's not so bad in the cities.
