Heebiefrigginjeebies

I hate spiders.

I was reading an article about spiders today, and saw many disturbing images (some of which I've included here for your enjoyment).


Not only do I hate spiders in person, but just looking at spiders on the internet creeps me out. I get physically uncomfortable when I see them, especially if they're moving. I don't know what it is, but they freak me the hell out. The way they move. The way they look, with their creepy little eyes. Their skinny, jointed legs with no feet. Their fangs. Their bulbous abdomens. Their webs. Etc., etc., etc. I know they can't really hurt me (most of them), but that's of little consolation to me. The heebiejeebies overcome my brain's logic.

Other insects don't bother me. It's just the arachnids. I'm cool with everything else too. Snakes, alligators, lizards, lions, bears, pterodactyls, dragons...they don't bother me in the least. It's just these little f-ing eight legged bastards that bother me. Damn you, spiders. Damn you all, for making me recoil and cringe like a homeless person being offered a job application.

That's quite amusing. It's always nice to hear a man admit that he gets the heegiejeebies every now and again. Vulnerability in a mans character as rarely as it is shown let alone admitted to is truly a sign of strength and integrity. I read your rantings as often as possible. I really just wanted to say that growing up my sister had a pet tarantula! I was freaked out by it at first but then found it to be pretty cool. They are fasinating to watch, hard to keep alive, but can actually take on interesting "personalities" per say believe it or not kind of like a cat!

Ok yeah...now I'm feeling all itchy and shit, thinking there are spiders around me or something. Let's not talk about spiders anymore. Ok? OK.

A spider that eats FISH?? Good lord. I think I'd piss my pants if I came across that thing.

Fire is my friend. Sure beats trying to smash them.
