Yes, in my previous post, I raved about the spiders that live in my garden. But that is only because they don't move. If they were truly creepy crawly spiders that wandered around my bedroom, I would scream, run away, and enlist some braver soul to come kill them for me. In fact, when I first saw one of the spiders in my garden, I made a feeble attempt to scare her away by accidentally-on-purpose being sloppy with my watering and getting a good deal on her web and messing it up a bit.
But now, they've assured me that they aren't going to be scary and they are in fact going to be really, really cool by sitting still and allowing me to stare at them every day.
However, there is no way on God's green earth that I am going to be anything other than absolutely fucking terrified by reports that there is a huge fucking centipede living somewhere in the vicinity of my bed.
Look at this. If you can stomach it! It's so disgusting and scary! This is a picture from Wikipedia of a house centipede. And according to my boyfriend, our resident Centipede of Doom is more than 4 inches long.
FOUR INCHES. HOLY SHIT.
In my BEDROOM.
Yes, I know they are supposed to be good. They eat other bugs. They're not particularly harmful to humans (apparently their bite is like a "mild bee sting"). But there is only so much I can take.
Needless to say, I will be sleeping elsewhere until the Centipede of Doom is apprehended. In the meantime, here is a funny website detailing the author's never-ending battle against the house centipede.
