OH also, 2 years old, the eighteen-pack is today! So, to celebrate, I will try to retell the tale of the Spider and the Beer Run which happened way back in Warshington when I lived in Bremerton (I still slip and call Bangor Bremerton sometimes. It's actually slightly retarded).
Anyway, back in my ex-husband and Everquest days I used to raid frequently and get down and dirty all nerd stylie. During one of these raids, I decided that I NEEDED to have beer. It was a must have and It had to be hadded as soon as I could humanly get to the 7-11. This was actually right about the time Whatshisname and I were chillin out maxin, relazin all cool, so he kindly let me attach my warrior to him via autofollow and so I left.
First stop was the loo, lest i wet myself in the mad harikari rush to get a case of beer. Window was wide open, I was minding my own bidniss and just getting ready to leave when what stood between me and the door leading to the brewskis...a big ol brown spider.
I used to be pretty...how you say, screamy when it came to things like this. Immediate freak-outs were imminent once an arachnid entered the room. I mean teleported into my line of sight because they are TRICKY bastards. Tricky mean-spirited bastards that made me make noises I didn't know I could make.
Anyway, upon laying eyes on the spider, I screamed (mind you the window is WIDE open and I had neighbours close by) "OH MY FUCKING GOD IT'S HUGE!" and let out a few more squeaks and protests. Imagine that ringing through your neighbourhood around 8 o'clock at night. A bug probably isn't the first thing anyone would think of. That thought crossed my mind mere seconds later, and then my determination for a beer and the fact that I was still autofollowing Whatshisname and if I got trapped in the toilet I would actually be in trouble. And very not-drunk.
So, after doing a few omfg-omfg-dances around the linoleum I fucking jumped on that spider and hauled ass out the door squealing like an idiot. It actually ran first and I chased it into the living room and added it to the baseball bat and hairspray spider stain with my trusty converse. (Another mighty triumph in the history of Whatsername). Beer was obtained and I returned to my geekfest with Whatshisname a happy but shaken woman.
That house srsly had too many spiders. Only Kaotix's old pad had more and those mothers were gargantuan. I get the hoo-hah's thinking about those!
These days I am brave enough to use a piece of paper and a glass to catch the buggers (even in the dark, no less!) and escort them to another room. And shut the door. And run.
Anyway yeah, blog-birthday ftw. Let's see about next year now! (when the blog will be almost 31! And I hopefully remember to re-up my Flickr. SIGH) | posted by Whatsername again....? @ 4/13/2008 01:25:00 pm |
