(no subject)
I just have to share what just happened to me. It was BAD. The worst experience so far since I moved into Xanland Place. But first, a little background information about me and my fears. I am not afraid of small bugs, worms, heights, small spaces, etc. I AM afraid of roller coasters, and pretty much any kind of animal, including birds, dogs, cats, spiders, and huge bugs.
Now, anyone who has spent a night in this particular unit in this condominium would know that if you keep the windows wide open, there is bound to be a strange bug that manages to get in and you have to wait until it goes back out or you'll have to do something about it yourself. So I wasn't surprised when I saw something fly in because I figured that it would realize sooner or later that it wasn't outdoors but inside a strange place. I continued with my chatting and singing and whatnot disregarding whatever it was that flew in. All of a sudden, I saw that huge thing jump onto my bed and crawl up the wall. It was a gigundo grasshopper-like thing that, for some reason, had the ability to fly. I screamed like a girl. If you know me, you would know that I don't normally scream, but hell, this made me scream.
I jumped off the bed to try to get away from it, and it just made pretty and sat there for the longest time. Naturally, I wanted to get back to my business, so I got a shoe and sat down on the bed close to where that thing was. The second my rear end met the bed, the damn thing jumped on me, so of course, I screamed again and jumped off the bed. When I got back to my senses, I realized that I didnt know where the hell it was and that I was shaking like a little bitch. It was then that I heard something crack and saw that the thing was on my closet.
I ran out of the room in search of something to kill it with, but I couldnt find any sort of bug spray around. The closest thing I had was my suede shoe spray. I figured it wouldnt do much good, but I brought it along with an ice cream container that was big enough to trap the grasshopper in. There was still ice cream in it, but I was willing to make the sacrifice of only to get rid of the thing. When I got back to the room, the thing was sitting on my bed again, so I got my shoe and tried to squash it, but when I lifted my shoe, it was still alive and jumped straight up on the wall. This thing was immortal.
I left the room again to look for anything else I could use as a weapon, and when I returned it was on the closet door again. I took the ice cream container and put it over the bug so it couldnt go anywhere else. Apperently, since there was still ice cream inside, the little bitch died of the cold because after a few minutes I stopped hearing the scratchy sounds at the side of the container. When I lifted the trap, I saw it buried in the melting ice cream twitching like it was having a seizure and I quickly put a lid on it and threw the container, ice cream, grasshopper and all out the window and slammed the windows shut. HOLY SHIT I was freaked out. It took me a while to stop shaking and now I'm here sharing my experience with you all.
Thank you for sharing this moment with me. RAWRR!!! Worst part about Xanland: the pests. GRR
