 I wish I was a guy. Or that a guy would live in my closet and come out to kill bugs for me.

Because I was sitting writing my paper and then I took a break to wipe my glasses... I have horrible vision, mind you, -literally everything is a blur- so it was weird that I definitely noticed a huge dark thing scamper across from where I was sitting to the edge of my room. My heart raced. Lizard? Only a lizard could be that huge.

I put my glasses on and looked for it. There it was. Not a lizard. It was something like a giant centipede, measuring more than an inch, a bit longer than a golf tee or large nail. Sophia and Nahye came to my rescue after I ran to get them.  We armed ourselves with a shoe and a catalog to smash it. Sophia prays: "God, please help us kill Your creation. Amen." First, Nahye went to look for Sheila (who had surreptitiously gone out to buy us boba, aww she is just that sweet...I digress). Then, Nahye screamed a lot standing on my bed and Sophia threw my camera (I had given her it to document the centipede in case it was like a new undiscovered breed. And to prove I'm not exaggerating) on the ground when we had a freakout/fakeout.  Luckily the camera was not harmed. We all screamed a lot. Sophia thrust the weapons into my hands: "I don't know how I feel about killing invertebrate animals." Screams. Even though we had yet to see it.

It is still running loose and I don't know if I can sleep tonight with its dirty slithery legs running around my room. I can kill spiders. I can kill roaches. I cannot kill a giant centipede. I hate being such a girl but gosh darn it there's a reason why I'm a girl.

Update:

15 minutes later, while everyone is disputing my story (figures), we see another/same centipede thingy in the living room. Sophia starts swearing, and Nahye starts screaming and we all laugh/scream hysterically for a few minutes while Sophia, ever the brave one, smashes it to smithereens with a tube:  "Die Mothertrucker die !!!" (or variation thereof).  I take pictures of the crime scene, and then we all run to our computers to look up the specimen and research it online like crazy.

**** Warning graphic images below*****


The question is now: was it the same centipede or one of its friends?? This one seems smaller.


That vodka ain't so smooth anymore.

LOL: "God, please help us kill Your creation. Amen." That's freakin' hilarious. You've seen Meta kill bugs right? She releases this battle cry that sounds like she's being murdered...you should try that...it seems to work for her. :O)

:D

I think, GOD, over the course of the evening wanted to bring a little excitement and joy into your lives through the use of His creation.

That's a pretty freakin' hilarious story... though it does prove a little Y chromosome or some different social conditioning would help. I'm imagining ferber having absolutely too much fun capturing it and then experimenting on it.
:P

oh evelyn!! haha, i totally empathize with you!! there are two times when i always wish i was a guy- when i have my period, and when there are nasty bugs around!! haha!

a few weeks ago kiki spent the night at my apartment. as she was getting ready to leave in the morning, i opened the door for her to go out and all of a sudden this HUGE, and trust me, it was REALLY big, NASTY NASTYYYYYYYY spider runs in! now i can understand normal household spiders, but this thing honestly was like a pseudo tarantula, but not as thick. i kid you not. kiki and i both had never seen anything like it before!! it really really looked like something you'd find in the jungles or in africa. gosh though, i was so thankful that kiki was there and that she was brave enough to kill it, even though she was scared too. it was terrifying and traumatizing! the scariest thing was that i didn't even leave the door open for long, i literally just opened it and it can running in. it's like it was waiting for me to open the door for it!! YUCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!

For the record, one inch does not constitute a giant centipede. This is a giant centipede:

But you do get points for style.
