YUCK spiders...

Thu Sep 10, 2009, 7:33 PM
Wanna see me scrape myself off the ceiling? Imagine the horror when, just 5 minutes ago, I casually glanced down beside my chair and saw a BIG ASS spider... no not the itsy-bitsy ones, body about a quarter inch, total width maybe about 2 inches.

SPHINCTER MALFUNCTION !!! :noes:

Knowing myself, discovering these useful little beauties is only the beginning of a heart-stopping ordeal before... catching it...
As a nature lover I'm usually unwilling to kill anything larger than a fly... mosquitoes I will gladly swat because, well, they steal my blood... but spiders are not only useful, they're about the only thing standing in the way of global insect domination, so they're on OUR side... but did they HAVE to be so GODDAMN ugly, and crawly, and fast, and have eight legs and eyes? DJEEZUS...

So I take a plastic cup and an empty envelope, ready to trap it... IT RUNS... OH SWEET MOTHER OF GOD IT RUNS... by now my heart is racing along with the spider, chills run down my back... finally I catch it and throw it out my window, two stories up.

*PHEW* :lmao:

The one thing I've learned about spiders is, that when you make them fall, they spread their legs and hover down... quite fascinating... as a matter of fact, the further they are from me, the more fascinating I think they are...

I've always been fascinated by drawing and, later on, by 3D design, painting and web design / development and have been a member of dA since end of 2000.
For the past decade I've worked as an IT support guy in a variety of major tech corps and banks and have -finally- kissed it goodbye forever. Going for a degree in web development soon so I can turn my hobby into a job.

Been living in the center of Leuven, Belgium for almost six years now, where I rent an apartment.

My biggest passion for the moment is snooker and I've completed my first season as a competition player at "Komma" ([link]). My team came second in 4th division so we'll be playing in 3rd division, province of Flemish-Brabant next season, starting September '09.
For the record, I play a 2-piece black butt Ronnie O'Sullivan BCE Custom cue and my highest break to date is 45 (season 2008-2009).

I enjoy night and/or nature walks, hanging out and going out with friends, watching and playing snooker, gaming (mainly RTS/FPS/RPG), web design and development, graphic design and general artwork, reading about and discussing physics in particular and science in general with friends, cartoons, watching movies and series, playing the guitar, attempting to create music in e.g. Reason, riding my bike, having a (Belgian) beer, reading fantasy (Feist, among others), discovering new bands and going to gigs and festivals, partying, fast food, cooking, etc...etc...

Life is a dagger of darkness that carves away the light, and leaves you drowning in the absolute meaninglessness of your existence.
