FLYING COCKROACHES

[redbrickrose]

In the living room. Okay, only one. I think I sprayed it to death. But me and bugs are unmeshable things, especially when the bugs are GIANT and GROSS and FASTER THAN ME. *shudders* Those of you who know me well know I do NOT deal well with such things. How much I like something is pretty much inversely proportional to how many legs it has.

The title and various capslocked words within this post are so terrifying to me that I could not read it.

That is all.

I don't blame you. It was pretty terrifying. I can't even look at cockroaches. I can't look at them after their dead even because then they're all crunched and it's gross and I want to throw up.

I can't even look at the word.

I can't even pit brown olives because when you smash them a little they look like...yeah.

I kind of have a phobia.

But I like your appropriate icon usage! hee.

I SERIOUSLY have a phobia. Of all bugs actually, because the giant bug under my bed that I was referring to in the post wasn't even a cockroach - I just had cockroaches on the brain. It was a SCORPION and I absolutely could not deal. *shudders*

I used to have a pretty bad problem with all bugs, but now I'm mostly over it. Well, I still have nightmares and still think bugs are crawling all over me sometimes, but I don't freak when I see most kinds. Only a certain kind and then I get RIDICULOUS.

A scorpion? Really? That would be scary because they can be dangerous! You didn't get stung, huh. The thing is I'm perfectly alright with spiders and snakes, and they can be harmful whereas that other thing...is just a nuisance. And TERRIFYING.

It was this whole thing where my dad and brother were out of town and my mom was annoyed at me because she has a dead-things-with-fur-and-feather phobia and I wouldn't clean up the dead bird in the backyard. So then when I went screaming through the house at 3 am because SCORPION she was like, yeah I'm asleep sleep on the couch. WHICH I DID. But then the next day I went in there and it crawled out from under my bed to meet me and mom tried to vacuum it up and it was TOO BIG FOR THE VACUUM HOSE. /traumatized for life. Now my mattress sits on the floor. Nothing can get under the bed. \o/

Spiders bother me A LOT. Snakes don't bother me at all. I think it's because they have NO LEGS. That works for me.

also *they're* dead. So traumatized I can't even type.
