Brazil: Screaming



I was sitting on the couch in my living room here at the Lar watching a movie with my roommate, Melissa. A moving shadow caught my eye and I realized it was actually a huge tarantula coming straight for me! Okay, so it was about four square inches, but it was huge to me.


It was seconds before it hid under the couch I was sitting on and I jumped up to turn on the light.


Informing Melissa, I quickly looked for something to smash it.


To get to the point, I did a lot of screaming, while Melissa did the killing. She sprayed it with bug-killer so it would curl up in defense and then smashed it with her sandal. It's hairy legs were still moving, even the one that was completely detached from it's body.



I'm not sure how well I'm going to sleep tonight, especially because I just smashed a mosquito that I caught sucking blood from my hand while typing this. Upon lifting my murderous hand I saw more blood than I ever imaged a little bug ever stomaching.


Yuck.
