I'm deathly afraid of spiders (bugs in general, but mostly spiders). Last night, as I was about to sit on my bed to watch the second showing of Oprah, I saw a spider on my blanket! I totally freaked out so I had to hold a pillow to my mouth to mute my screams. I usually kill spiders by sucking them up with the vaccum, but the vaccum was in my parents' room and they were sleeping. So while I was screaming into my pillow I came up with this brilliant plan. I looked at my bookshelf to see if I had a book that I wouldn't mind throwing away. Luckily I found an old Cliff Notes book from high school. I was gonna use it to scoop up the spider and run to the bathroom to drown it in the sink. But as soon as I scooped up the spider it freaked out on me and started to run towards my hand. I panicked so I threw the book on the ground and started stabbing the spider with the book and I ended up smooshing the spider into the carpet. I really didn't wanna touch the smooshed spider and I was exhausted from all the drama. I needed to go to sleep so I covered the spider remains with an empty trash can. The dead spider's still under the trash can.
