cata means down

Yesterday's daddy-long-legs has seemingly moved on to pastures new. (Or DIED HAH.) But on the other hand, I've lost my favourite pen, which is really pissing my life off.

Also, I kind of converted my dad to Zombie Jesus yesterday evening. The conversation went like this:

Dad: [spying me reaching for the Bible again*] Going back for more?
Me: Yep

I find the Bible and the Koran useful for looking up stuff as they come up in fics and whatnot.

Also, why do daddy-long-legs scare you? They are just spindly spiders...unelss it's some British thing that's different.

I would find it useful, if I could get past how very mind-numbing it is.

And I know there's a British/American daddy-long-legs difference, so perhaps there's an Australian one too. This is mine. (As to why it scares me. It's a phobia! They're not made to be rational.)

*grins* You don't read start to finish. You flick through and use a magic finger.

Or just turn to Revelations. I had my sister rolling on the ground shrieking with laughter at that one.

....EW! That's gross. And scary. This is mine. Actually, they don't look as scary as that picture suggests. And I sat there enthralled one day at this epic battle between a daddy-long-legs and a red back. The daddy-long-legs won and wrapped up the red back in its web for eating.

I <3 them for that alone.

Oh, I do enjoy Revelation for some laughs. Dude was TRIPPING. And then I like to tell people how I got bored and skipped to the Apocalypse :D

I just. Do not enjoy the insect kingdom, as a whole. Although I think I'd enjoy watching them battle epically to the death, so long as they didn't get to close to me while they were at it.

We have both the spider AND the flying horror version of Daddy Long-Legs here. EVIL. And our spiders are one of the most poisonous we've got, but their teeth are too small to bite us, so little children play with them and shit. One day they will stumble into some chemicals and GROW to the size of dogs or something and eat us all.

Um... I totally don't think about this...

I'm just afraid of spiders, don't judge me. And your Daddy Long-Legs, cos they've got the long spindley legs that make them look like spiders, plus they fly.

We're agnostics and athiests and buddhists, depending on who you ask on what day, but we've still got a handful of Bibles too. My Dad's totally already on the Zombie Jesus train :)
