elvenpirateladyEL: *wakes up to sound of rain on the roof* Ah, thank you, weathergods.
RADIO: *plays soothing music*
EL: *gets up* Waitaminute... something is different here.
HUNTSMAN SPIDER: Um, hi.
EL: *blinkblink*
SPIDER: So yeah, it's really wet out there and can I crash at your place?
EL: You are very lucky that I'm not awake enough to freak out about this. Not on the bed. Wall, and stay where I can see you.
SPIDER: waaaaaaaah why do I get no love?
EL: I CAN SEE YOUR FANG THINGIES FROM HERE!
SPIDER: IT'S NOT MY FAULT I WAS BORN LIKE THIS! Or hatched. Whatever. El's the scribe, and she doesn't know biology.
EL: I am not awake enough for this. *goes off to get coffee*
What is probably happening right now:
SPIDER: Hey guys, she said it was cool if we crashed here! Party at El's place!

EL: *gets up* Waitaminute... something is different here.

Granted, I've gotten a bit better as I've gotten older, but there was a time when I refused to sleep in my bedroom for months, because I saw a spider on my bed. A small spider. Like, no bigger than a dollar coin.
I don't even want to contemplate what a Huntsman spider is. So of course, I just wikipedia'ed it.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING MORE TERRIFYING IN MY LIFE. OhmyGodohmyGodohmyGod.
*Cries*
You are so brave.

But they still freak me out, and I have had a couple of close encounters with them. Normally it's Dad's job to remove them with a broom while I watch in morbid fascination from three rooms away, but he's not heeeeeeere! And won't be until tomorrow night! I may be sleeping on the couch until Thursday...
