bug report

[chocolate_chip]

As every fall, we're swarmed with these at work. And they do not look pleasant once squished, let me tell you. But they have the most adorable little bug feet that tickle when they walk on your arm~

I also had one of these try to crawl up my sleeve last night. I'm very lucky I didn't get bitten. But does anyone thank me for catching the freaky poisonous bug with my bare hands and taking it outside? No, of course not.

Speaking of centipedes, I still remember the first time I ever saw one. I was about 6, and I had heard the term centipede before, and knew it meant a bug with lots of legs, but I thought it referred to caterpillars or pill bugs. Then one night I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, turn on the light, and there's a huge one of these on the bathroom floor. I'd never even seen a picture of a centipede before, so of course I screamed my head off and woke up everyone in the house. Ah, fun times.

Oh, I have a chance to go see Max the Crystal Skull. I don't buy into all the New Age mystical powers hokey stuff, but if it really was carved thousands of years ago, it would be interesting to go see it. (The British Museum did some tests on Max and three other "ancient" crystal skulls, and proved that two of them were actually modern. But for Max and the other skull, they refused to divulge the results of the tests! Mysterious!) However, it costs quite a bit more money to see it than I'd like to spend. Gr.

I'm going to turn 32 in a month, and the *first* time I'd seen a centipede was this summer, when we went to Pennsylvania. I had no idea what they were...I just thought they looked icky. We were collecting firewood and one log was infested. So, come to think of it, Anakin was six when he saw his first, too. It didn't phase him though. Boys. XP
