Description Can I say again that I hate spiders?

Because I do.

I am sorry, arachophiles. I wish I could love all creatures equally. I just cannot. I know he just wants to hug me and welcome me to his home, but I can't get past his too-many eyes and his unwaxed legs

I am shallow.

I'v been huged by a spider, and let me just say that while I like spiders well enough I dont like geting my finger grabed by one.
Shreek and pry eight tiny legs OFF finger. that and I'v never seen a spider like him before. Frightening!

I can't remember the last time I actually used a flash! So at least it was just a big black monster scaring him, not a flashing one.

simplyMonki [2008-04-28 14:17:29 +0000 UTC]

I want to look at the full-size image, because your pictures are always very clear and lovely, but a bigger flower means a bigger spider, and I think I'd have a heart attack and die if I saw that guy any bigger than the preview image

I admire your bravery in being able to take this picture!

*shivers* I know what you mean DDDDD8 I haaaaaate spiders, but I also haaaaate killing bugs directly so it messes me up even more DDDDDDx Once there was one in the shower, and it delayed me ten minutes before I washed it down the drain D8

anyway, it's a neat picture regardless

I do my best to catch critters and put them outside, but yes, the shower is the one place they're shown no mercy ;___;

buggies are the only things where my quaker hippie child ways falter--kinda. I want it away, but I can't bear to DO anything D: I squished a small bug under a kleenex once, and the crunch gave me shivers all over. D8 awaah, I'm weird xD

the spiders in my shower are like daddy longlegs but web-building ones, so they're all legs. D: makes 'em hard to do anything to, there's more extra bits there yeeah, it's definitely the legs that creep me out, I think

LorienInksong [2008-04-28 07:27:54 +0000 UTC]

This reminds me of every time I go home: the spiders only come out just for me. My family doesn't see them anymore when I'm not there. -_-;;

You say you hate spiders but then you can't stop putting up loving macro pics of them!

And you put your watermark around his bum. (Not in this one but in the closer one.)

CatharsisJB In reply to Sejuay [2008-04-27 23:28:59 +0000 UTC]

I physically try to force myself to be in contact or near-contact with spiders and things I fear so I can try to convince myself they're not that bad.

And then it all gets undone again when my stepdad walks at me holding a dead hand-sized tarantula, going "LOOOOOKIEEEEEE WHAT IIIIIII GAAAHHHHHHT"
