Suggested soundtrack: Ennio Morricone's score for The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

You know how it is. You're walking downstairs at 1 am, making a beeline for the can of Coke Mountain Dew in the fridge, when you catch something from the corner of your eye that's just a little bit off. You do a little double-take, without breaking stride, and there it is

Aaactually someone has beaten you to it. :P But I am flattered!

Argh! ARGH! *shudders sympathetically*

I hate spiders. Hate, hate, hate them. I wouldn't say that I'm an arachnophobe, but I loath their numerous eyes and bulbous bodies and hairy legs. Just the idea of those legs creeping on me... *shudders*

We don't have any insect spray in my house, so I'm always forced to deal with spiders with a roll of newspaper. And I always live in mortal fear of the spider leaping onto me as I approach them. (They nearly always leap towards me. Onto me isn't too far a stretch.) And because they're uncanny creatures, they always manage to leap out of the way. Urgh.

I bypass the roll of newspaper and go straight to heavy books-- I can wipe off a hardcover, I'm always afraid the roll won't be sturdy enough! What if the spider survives to wreak its vengeance upon me?! (Yes, logic goes right out the window when it comes to spiders.)

Uuugh, I am so scared of a spider leaping onto me. I know they're more likely to run away from the swatty thing! But what if it doesn't?

Epic bug-slaying stories make me feel so much less alone when I am trapped in a house with the terrifying beasties myself. You are a brave, brave woman! I felt your terror while reading. D:

My (least) favorite was the face-hugging Alien scenario.

DEFINITELY thought I was the only one who dreamed up this shit!!

"But like I said, it was 1 am. So no one ever has to know about it..."

Except for everyone reading this ;)

The whole thing kinda reminds me of Luke going into the cave. Perhaps this is your test ;)

OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD.
