I don't like spiders and snakes, and that ain't what it takes to love me.
Remember the time I was freaking myself out, reading about poisonous snakes? Well, I just spent about twenty minutes reading about poisonous spiders. I'm not afraid of snakes, but I am afraid of spiders. I tried to convince myself I wasn't, but it didn't work. And now, it never will because I was reading about the Hobo Spider, which is also known as THE AGGRESSIVE HOUSE SPIDER!! [don't look to that website for the truth about spiders, it's one of those ZOO websites. They always take the side of the animal] You know, people used to laugh at me, when i told them that spiders would jump straight for your neck, if you got too close. But look at that! That spider is so aggressive, they named it aggressive!! It's bite can rot your flesh. People used to blame it's evil demonic bite on the brown recluse spider. Guess where the hobo spider lives, when it's here in the United States. Go on... guess! That's right, Seattle. There is probably an aggressive house spider living at the foot of my bed right now. it's going to eat my toes.
Arifa says they only live in the houses of bad people. That's probably true, right? Uff da.
Serious bonus points for today's title.

Family: Agelenidae, also known as “funnel web weavers”
I'm not much of a spiderphobe, but after watching a show on the Sydney Funnel Web Spider, anything with "funnel web", even remotely attached to it, freaks me right the fuck out! EEK!

Oh dear - you are SO trouble with these songs. I almost guessed Leo Sayer because he had those nauseatingly catchy songs, too.
As for spiders, would the whole "they're more scared of you then you are them speech" help?

I must be very bad: We have those in our house. I catch/seal them in an empty jelly jar when I see them and put the jar in the freezer. It's humane: They just go to sleep. The long dirt nap.
It's better than what happens when my cats get them. To the cats, spiders = land lobsters.

And rightfully so, Thomas - lobsters are related to spiders. A fact that I try to keep shut out of my brain, whenever we go out for seafood.

thomas, i admire you for catching them and killing them humanely. i cannot do that for i realize what many fail to recognize... spiders will totally jump for your neck, fangs out, if you approach them.
on one website, it even said that vacuuming them up was not good enough unless you removed the bag and threw it away because THEY MAY ESCAPE!!
