I hate spiders.

Ever since Friday, I've been followed around by creepy-crawlies.

Rather than write out a nice, prosey story, I shall conduct an Eyrie first and post snippets from my AIM conversations during the attacks.

Day 1

Hawk (10:46:22 PM):  i was going to the garage to put my laundry in the dryer

Hawk (10:46:25 PM):  and i see

Hawk (10:46:31 PM):  two FAT spiders hanging out on the wall

Hawk (10:46:34 PM):  so me being scared of spiders

Hawk (10:46:41 PM):  i get the flyswatter from the top of the fridge

Willing Ear (10:46:47 PM):       ewwww

Willing Ear (10:46:49 PM):       spiders?

Hawk (10:46:56 PM):  and take a few eons to get the courage to whack one of them

Hawk (10:46:57 PM):  and i miss

Hawk (10:46:59 PM):  but it's dead

Hawk (10:47:01 PM):  so it falls onto the floor

Hawk (10:47:07 PM):  then i stare at it and poke it

Hawk (10:47:10 PM):  and it vanished

Willing Ear (10:47:13 PM):       O_O

Willing Ear (10:47:15 PM):       WHAA??

Hawk (10:47:21 PM):  i think i poked it into the crack between the wall and the floor or something

Hawk (10:47:26 PM):  so i'm like

Hawk (10:47:28 PM):  ..scareed

Hawk (10:47:32 PM):  then i move on to the next one

Hawk (10:47:35 PM):  brave, intrepid soul that i am

Hawk (10:47:44 PM):  and this time i hit it

Hawk (10:47:49 PM):  but it's also dead, because it just falls to the floor

Hawk (10:47:54 PM):  then it starts twitching or something

Hawk (10:47:59 PM):  and i look at it in confusion

Hawk (10:48:01 PM):  suddenly i notice

Hawk (10:48:06 PM):  the corner it fell into

Hawk (10:48:08 PM):  is covered

Hawk (10:48:10 PM):  by a spiderweb

Hawk (10:48:23 PM):  with a daddy longleg (formerly just hanging out) that is now running for its life

Hawk (10:48:25 PM):  so i swat it

Hawk (10:48:28 PM):  and it's still moving

Hawk (10:48:33 PM):  so i get down onto the ground

Hawk (10:48:38 PM):  and beat the bajeezus outta that thing

Hawk (10:48:41 PM):  and i just realized

Hawk (10:48:48 PM):  i never ended up putting my laundry into the dryer

Day 2

~smashes a spider and doesn't sleep in her room that night~

Day 3

Hawk: dude it's ridiculous

Hawk: there was a pillow wedged between my bed and the wall

Hawk: i pull it out

Hawk: two spiders

Willing Ear #2: ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

Hawk: and one was squished

Hawk: ._.

Hawk: yesterday there was a big hairy one and i used my caltech welcome packet to kill it

Willing Ear #2: ewwwww

Willing Ear #2: omg

Hawk: sniffle

Hawk: and that's not even to mention FRIDAY's escapades

Hawk: ughh

Willing Ear #2: wow

Willing Ear #2: well... at least it's eventful?

Really, eventful is not something I prefer when it comes to spiders. 

Okay readers, so lots of people my age have had their baccalaureates and grad ceremonies and doodah. Unfortunately, I have no less than five more projects to do and lack the work ethic to do them. But anyway, I believe I speak for both of us avians when I say that we will have a bit more time now to actually post and entertain you all. So there are a few upcoming blags (are blahs on a blag considered blag?) that you'll want to keep an eye out for.

Last day of fanime tomorrow. Expect summary/opinion writing (maybe Quail will post some pics?). And also to come: a Hawk epic/narrative on my half.com selling experience.

Seeya soon, guys! And (^_^)V/ live long and prosper.
