Creepy Crawlies, Be GONE!

[jillthepill]

Well, I don't have much to say today...except that I am SO ANNOYED by all the creepy crawlers lurking about right now. There's big mutant flies, itty bitty fruit flies, fleas, spiders of all shapes and sizes, and everything icky of the sort just everywhere I go. And they are not few in number, so there's no escaping them, even while shopping or

*sprays creepy crawly repellent in big circle around Jill* Hopefully that'll keep them away for a bit. *hides from big honking spider* I'm like Ron Weasley, spiders creep me out too.

My mom will be sooooo jealous that you get to see Josh Groban live, and floor level too!!! He has to do two concerts in Salt Lake cuz he sells out so fast.

And I think Spamalot might be coming here too. I would LOVE to see Spamalot myself!

Have a great 3 day weekend, Jill! ^_^

Heh heh, your Mom likes Josh's stuff too, eh? I joined the Fan Club to make sure we'd get first crack at good seats, which while a bit pricey, I figured was worth the cost to see him up closer. ^_^ Although I did that with the intention my Mom would get to go as well, and then she wasn't going to be able to. My Mom wants me to marry him, LOL. I told her it's just too much competition, plus he kind of looks like how my brother did when he was younger. He's still very talented, though!

He's beautiful! He ranks high on my gorgeous list up there with Orlando. Of course, I don't have any brothers who look remotely like him. LOL

I think it's still hiding behind my dresser

He's in your base, plotting your demise.

Josh Groban is pretty amazing. He's kind of the alternate universe of the opera singers that used to come on the Ed Sullivan Show when I was a kid (yeah, I know, Ed who?).

"Now, tonight on our really big shewww, Metropolitan Opera Singer Robert Merrill singing Stairway to Heaven."

He looked like an opera singer. He sounded like an opera singer. But the song coming out of his mouth just did not belong.

Now we have Josh Groban. He looks like a pop star, but the sound coming out of his mouth just does not belong.

LMAO...in my base? All my base are belong to him? Noooo!

This week the sneaky thing has been lurking in my bathroom, and spent quite a few days just hanging out in the sink. It's very strange, but I figure he's enjoying a solitary spider's life. I determined it's a male Wolf Spider, as it doesn't have any egg sack on its back, which I guess is how one tells them apart.

It is funny how Josh sort of defies his image...he comes off as a rock star of sorts, and can play the part, yet, he's got this mature "Popera" style that somehow works, although it's kind of funny to think about it. A 26 year-old opera singer sort? That's sort of unheard of, yet he does it in grand style! He's got quite a few younger talented musicians who tour with him as well, such as violinist Lucia Micarelli (who performed a pretty powerful "Kashmir", with her violin as if it were a guitar). Heck, even Josh took over playing the drums at one point and had a great time doing it!

What? You can't just pick him up and look?

I remember that 26-year-old opera singer sort being a 19-year-old opera singer sort on Ally McBeal.

You get to spend my birthday on the floor with Josh Groban? That's cool.

(I went to KeyArena once. I saw the Dallas Mavericks play there in 1996 (well, of course it was in 1996, since that's the only time I've been within 1000 miles of Seattle, not counting airports in Denver).)

[jillthepill]

Yes yes, I got to spend your Birthday with Josh Groban on the floor. Heh heh. ^_~ It was worth it, although I felt guilty I wasn't able to give you a ring and say hello! I hope you had a good one, even though I know Jenni wasn't feeling well.

[26376]

I hope no one else tried to call me. Don't feel bad for being busy; it turns out my phone was messed up most of the weekend. I got a call that morning from grbenda, and text messages from three women (my mother in addition to the usual suspects, minus the woman I eventually slept with that night), but my mother tried to call at the appointed hour of 23:01 and didn't get through. I'm hopeful that no one else tried to call me and had problems! It got sorted out by Monday.

So much as I would have loved to hear your voice, it wouldn't have worked. That's okay, though, sweetheart; I still love you. *HUGS AND SQUEEZIES*

[jillthepill]

How is your Dad doing? Didn't he have that nasty fall and broke a rib a couple weeks ago?

And aww....thanks! ^_^

Hi THE Jill,

I loathe creepy crawlies that invade my personal space --;! If I see any around, it's SQUISH-city for them.

I actually DID have a Peter Brady experience with a SPIDER O~O! I was asleep and felt something tickling my neck. At first I thought it was just some hair or something, so I tried brushing it off. It 'came back' though. It was somewhat light out, so I could actually see when I opened my eyes. Right on my hand was one of those dime sized spiders O~O! I screamed, leaped from my bed, turned on the big lights, found it where I had thrown it down on my bed, and KILLED it >8(! I never thought I would experience anything remotely close to Peter Brady, but I did, and I don't want to do it again!

[jillthepill]

Eep! See, that's what I worry about...I don't know how I'd react, but I imagine the whole neighbourhood would know if I woke up to a large spider crawling on me!

At least this past week since it's been hanging out in the bathroom...although it creeps me out to think about it being there when I'm in the shower, he's just kind of content. He even let me wash my hands in the sink while sitting in there. It's just so funny! But, I won't kill him, because I hear they're helpful sorts of spiders who eat other bugs. Who knows!?!?

I posted a picture in my last entry of it on a roll of toilet paper, in fact! Don't look if you're too squeamish, though! Even I wasn't terribly fond of looking at the picture!
