my valient fight with shelob
*if u don't get the reference in the subject, then oh well, you can still hear my story* :)
my friend amy and i went to go see american wedding the other night. we got out around 1130 or so and she didn't want to go back ot her house so i told her she could come back and hang out at my house for a while if she wanted. i had left the front light on before i left so i could see to get in. it always attracts bugs, but usually just moths and other such small flying creatures. we get up to the door and on the little push button where you have to put your thumb to open the front glass door is this GIANT SPIDER. i'm not usualy squeamish about spiders, but this thing was HUGE and UGLY and horrible. so amy screams, probably waking up the whole neighborhood. finally, i get this stick and she says we shoudl throw it at the spider, who (in my mind) i had decided to call shelob b/c that's what this thing was like. i wanted to just brush it off with the stick b/c i knew if she threw it it'd probably miss and hit the door and make a loud noise (and i was trying not to wake up my parents). but, she takes it and throws it and of course she misses and makes a big noise and then she screams some more b/c she's amy and that's what she does ;). then she wants me to call my dad and have him come let us in. i said no way b/c i didn't want to wake him up, he'd be grumpy and then he'd be mad b/c i shouldn't be afraid of a spider (i had a cockroach in my room earlier this summer and screamed and he got all irritated about it). so she says SHE will call him with her cell phone b/c he likes her (we alwaysused to joke that he liked her better than me). i told her no b/c then he'd get mad at me for letting her call. so we decide to try around back and make our way through the dark and other spider webs that have formed but of course the door was locked. so, we go back out front and i get another stick (relatively short) and brush at the spider with it and knock it off the door handle. but darnit if the stupid thing isn't on its little web and scuttles right back up on the pushy button thing before i can get in the house. ok, i think, i have to get in my house somehow, i'm not gonna let this giant shelob spider keep me outside all night. soooo i go find a longer stick. i swat at th thing again an dknock it down and this time i swat through ti's web and break the web so now it's attached to my stick and it starts coming at me (ok, i probably imagined it to be alot worse than it was, but this thing was GROSS). so i take the stick and i hurl the spider into the bushes and run in the door as fast as i can. I TRIUMPHED OVER THE EVIL SHELOB SPIDER!!!!!!!!
now wasn't that quite an adventure to have at midnight :)
i was quite proud of myself and think i deserved some lembas to rejuvinate me after that battle ;)
