Centipedes!

When I was a kid I used to love the bugs I’d find under rocks. There were three main bugs that lived under rocks. First, there were those slimy things. I called them slugs and we used to pour salt on them and watch them melt. Then there were the bugs with the shells that I called “rollie-pollie bugs”. They could roll up into a ball and look like little pellets. Then there were the long ones with a million legs and I called those centipedes. I actually think they may have been millipedes. Regardless, I would take those any day over centipedes. There are real live centipedes in my apartment and they make me want to puke when I see them. They are huge with thousands of legs and they can run REALLY FAST! They like to hide in dark places and scare the living hell out of me. Sometimes I’m sitting on my couch and happen to glance over and see this huge bug running like 10 mph across my floor! And NEVER leave a pair of pants on the floor because they like to crawl into the pant legs. I learned that lesson by picking up a pair of pants and having centipede come flailing out. One day I was researching centipedes on the internet and I found out that they actually sting and bite and can cause pain that is equivalent to a bee sting. I freak out when there is a bee or wasp in my apartment, now knowing that there are evil centipedes lurking in the dark corners of my apartment just freaks me out soooo bad. I NEVER walk barefoot in here. I only see one maybe once a week and it isn’t like I’ve ever found a nest of them or anything, but they’re around and I know it. Yesterday I was doing laundry and was rearranging clothes in my laundry basket when one just appeared and ran over my hand! I screamed bloody murder. It wasn’t just the fact that it was a creepy bug that can sting me … its just that nobody really expecets or wants bugs crawling out of their clothes!!! Anyways, this time I chased him and I sprayed him good with my ‘organic bug spray’ hehe. He got all slow and shriveled up in a ball and he died. Then I vaccumed him up in the sweeper. I actually don’t really like to have to kill bugs, but I make an exception for centipedes.

The End.
