Eeeeeeeek!
OMG! There are just no words to tell you how freaked out I was today!!
OK so I was running late for the gym. I jumped into my little mazda 121 and headed off down the road, made it to the carpark safe and sound ...when I see something scuttle across the window!
OK so as if that isn't creepy enough, I stayed calm and parked the car, then carefully climbed out and looked around for whatever had done the scuttling...
THERE WAS NOT ONE, BUT TWO FRAKING HUGE HUNTSMAN SPIDERS RUNNING AROUND ON MY CAR!!!
TWO OF THEM! Aaaaarrrrg!
For those non-Australians, while huntsman spiders aren't poisonous, they can still give a nasty bite and they can get very, very big. These ones were not anywhere near the biggest I've ever seen, but with their big, hairy legs out, they were about the size of the palm of my hand.
So yeah, here I am going "shit, shit, shit!" I mean it's not like I can leave them there; I have to drive home after gym! So, I finally found a new use for my BodyCombat/TKD skills! I front-kicked two spiders into oblivion ...and they were moving quickly too! I'm actually kinda proud that my aim was so darn good! Maybe it was the adrenalin?
"Heeya! Starrylizard the spider killer!"
...and yes, after gym I some how managed to build up the courage to drive home. I'm so out there with a can of Mortein tomorrow!!
A list of ways frontkicks have come in useful so far in my life:
* Killing frakking huge spiders on your car
* Opening and closing lab doors when your hands are full
* Scaring random boys into submission ...hehehe!
* Oh and then there's always self-defense, though as yet I haven't needed that one.
