beware of the shadowy figures
so i like to stay up late. i like to sit in the dark. i like to stay up late and sit in the dark on my computer and rock out to music. which is exactly what i was doing tonight while playing a game of solitaire. i was about half way through putting up all my fours when i noticed something out of the corner of my eye. i looked at the wall which is about a foot from me on my left and i notice a very large shadowy something making its way up my wall. my eyes quickly took in ANOTHER very large dark shadowy form chillin' on the wall just a little ways away. i quickly made my way AWAY from my desk and my wall and i ran and turned on a light, waking up my roommate in the process. when i looked back, there was a monstrous cricket on the floor too!!! i was like "no way! there can't be THIS MANY bugs all at once!" so i grab the broom and take care of the cricket first by sweeping him out the door and golfing him as far down the hall as i could. then i returned to the spiders. they were huge! and they decided to have a droid death match on my wall. i watched for a little bit, considering the possibility that they might take care of each other leaving me with nothing to worry about. but that didn't happen so i had to step in. i jammed my broom onto one and squished it in the corner and then got it to the ground to squish it more. one down. i went back for the other. i repeated my process of jamming and squishing. i still had the broom shoved in the corner and i let my mind wander a bit to revel in my victory when i looked back and the spider was crawling away! minus about three legs though... i quickly recovered and squished him in the corner again and got him on the floor and finished him off. then i swept both of them down the hall too. no way are those things going in the garbage in my room! THANK GOD FOR BROOMS! the worst part of this is knowing that they were so close to me, and i am pretty sure that one of them had sort of crawled on my arm in the dark because i had gotten tickled by something but couldn't find what it was. ugh. heebie geebies! and now i'm really paranoid about bugs being around me. i am so traumatized right now. and i know i won't forget about this soon. and if i do, i definitely have a couple of spider legs behind my picture on my desk to remember this by....

"i repeated my process of jamming and squishing." that was especially funny to me for some reason. also, i don't think i should have read this right before trying to go to sleep.
ReplyDeletewell i don't think i should have had to witness that before trying to go to bed either!
ReplyDeleteAll your posts have to do with bugs lately... lol
ReplyDeleteYou have gotten so brave...now I don't ever have to kill the spiders at home...I now crown you Xena warrior princess of spider death.
ReplyDeleteDo the rest of the dorm residence appreciate you sweeping bug corpses into the hallway? This is my question.
ReplyDeleteI demand to see photographic evidence! Next time this happens can you take a picture or a video? I think that would be nice :)
