    I hadn't even seen your thread until you mentioned it, just now.

    I gave Sage first dibs to pay back for the SFIV I was gifted, but apparently he doesn't want it.

    So yeah, it's the brand new version that I don't even have and didn't realize it.

    You've been fighting all sorts of monstrosities in Wizardry, no? Surely he thinks you'll be fine, given your experience.

    I thought, "Oh, lord, it can't possibly be gigantic." I was thinking I was going to turn and see a decently sized tiny little jumping spider or something. But I was somewhat surprised when I finally turned to look. Certainly nothing comparable to the giant wolf spiders we used to see all the time at my father's house, though.

    Then he wouldn't kill it. He just got some bug spray and sort of stared at it. By the time he asked me to kill it, it had crawled up toward the ceiling, in the corner between the wall and the air conditioning. It started out on the wall about five feet off the ground, but no, he had to wait until it was inaccessible to me to start sending me off into battle with it.

    So, I have to be the one to kill the spiders. He's afraid that it's going to jump onto his face or something, but he's perfectly okay with the idea of it jumping onto my face, apparently.

    He also refuses to touch the mice when it's time to feed the snake, dead or alive. And despite the fact that the mice are offered to the snake using ~6-7 inch long prongs, it's a chore to persuade him to do that as well.


    I take it it wasn't a harmful spider or anything, though? I can handle creepy crawlies, but in all honesty something like a brown recluse would scare the shit out of me.

    My immediate reaction to any kind of creepy crawly is "KILL IT WITH FIRE", or grab the nearest shoe and smash it in.

    Note to self: Do not read stories of giant spiders just before bedtime.

    I did. I wasn't that freaked out, but I only clicked the Wiki page, and I didn't read. Just looked at the pics.

    Unless they're HUGE or in an awkward place I tend to leave spiders alone because they get rid of flies in the house. Anything else, I'll try to coax it out of the window or a door, and if that doesn't work, I'll lure it on the floor and stamp on it. If I hit anything on a wall or window it either gets away or leaves its guts smeared everywhere.

    But they're so cute.

    With their fuzzy little legs and their big black eyes.

    It's like a cow that fits in the palm of your hand.

    All they want to do is chill out on your shoulder while you play games.

    Or maybe chill in your hair a little. Mostly near the base of your neck.

    Is that so bad?
