In which I am victorious!

 I have, at last, dispatched the evil evil creature responsible (partly) for the death of my compy. See, I was worried that in my 4 am delirium I had, you know, hallucinated the spider or something, which would have been rather pathetic because the only thing worse than killing your computer over a spider is killing your computer over an imaginary spider. 

But no, my sightings were confirmed Wednesday morning, when I woke up with a great big sore spider bite on my thigh. I managed to maintain composure and not think about how the spider was still in my room and crawling all over me while I slept with its icky icky feets and managed to sleep peacefully in my own bed that night.

The next day, my arachnid nemesis emerged from behind my bed roundabout mid-afternoon, as I attempted to do my homework. And with a swift and terrible vengeance and allowing myself only a tiny little shriek I did fetch a paper towel and smite that spider, smite it good. 

All is well in Muppet-land. 

Anyway, I'd go into more detail about my Parent's Weekend adventures with my mommy (who came up to visit), but one of the things my mom and I discussed was that I had to cut down on my computer time so I could go outside and try having a social life. That way I won't be, you know, completely inept when the time comes for me to go out in the Real World.

My mom told me that I should try to cut down to an hour a day. Yeah. Um. So I may not be here quite as often. 

Suffice it to say that I have bought awesome new shoes and awesome new jeans, and that after a long, gruesome fight, I was AT LAST triumphant over that Bio Project That Wouldn't Die. It is finished. It is done. And, according to my teacher, I did really well. I explained everything thoroughly, didn't even need my notecards for the second paper, and managed to get everyone really bored with explaining equations. :)

And I finished my math test on time. And did pretty well, apparently. Now the only thing I have to catch up on is Drawing work that I missed. Which I should be able to do. I think.

And then there's all that major and study-abroad and next-semester planning. Yeah. Um. This is gonna be a weird week.

An hour a day? What is your mum, crazy? And you should also ask Kaylie about her spider experience too...seems that 4th belk might be infested...

Uh, that damn spider. It was stuck to the ceiling right above MY laptop for an entire day. Waiting.

We smushed it good. Ok, Godlet smushed it good. I provided tactical advice and materials.


And THEN, last night I was moving my Goodwil bags around and I noticed something tan colored fall into it, like a tin leaf or something, and I looked into the bag and there was this.... thing... kinda like a centipede, trying to crawl up the side of the bag. I tossed it onto the roof. :x


But anyway, we should maybe mention this to the RAs?



Ahahaha at first I was really upset about the 1 hour thing, saying, "But now I'll never get to talk to you!" but then I realized that NOW I can run around the corner and knock on the door and you'll HAVE TO TALK TO ME because hey, your mommy told you to.

Uuuuugh...*shivers* Oh, I can only imagine the horror. Fortunately Godlet was there to squish it. You think he might be able to branch out to spider-squishing in other rooms?

That, plus Trauma Spider, plus the centipede in your room, plus the millipede that stalks the ladies' room...I think this might be on infestation levels.

Yes! Yes I do! Come and pester me sometime; I can't be on the compy now. :)

Obviously, she has no idea of the vital importance of Teh Intarwebs. I'm not sure I'll make an hour a day, but I did promise her I'd try to cut down, so...there you go.

YES IT IS. And there's a millipede in the girl's room that I SWEAR has been following me. *grabs rolled-up newspaper*

Ewwwwwwww! Spider! :::: shrieking and freaking! :::: I'm glad you got the little arachnid and killed it right down to its icky, icky feets. I have to kill spiders in our house and they totally freak me. When one's in my room, I stay awake with the lights on until I can kill it -- yes, I'm psycho that way.

Congrats on finishing the Project from Hell, and for doing well on your math test! YAY, you!

I don't understand this thing called a 'social life'... What IS it? ;) LOL re: your Mom! :D

See, I tried to do that with spiders in my room, but I always lose them while I'm fetching a suitable killing implement, so if I stayed up till I found them, I'd very quickly stop sleeping. XD

And thank you! I'm not sure what she expects me to do with this "social life", but she made an effort to explain it, so hopefully I can go from her description...

I once declared war on a spider. Naturally my damn foe decided to go AWOL after allowing me to proceed with the war paint.

Oh, phoo, I hate it when they do that. XP Mine always skeedadle while I'm fetching some form of killing tool.
