As It Turns Out...

I'm a bit of an arachnophobic. Friday night I stayed in and watched a movie with the roommate and the train wreck (his girlfriend's nickname). Shortly after they left to go to her house I walked into the bathroom to get ready for bed. As I looked in the doorway of my bathroom I saw a HUGE spider. Fearing that it was poisonous (because that's common down here) I knew I couldn't take my eye off it and I had to kill then. I proceeded to stand in my doorway and throw shoes at it. That proved not to be affective. After making a few phone calls for encouragement and about a half hour of contemplating and well basically freaking out, I decided my rain boots would be ideal for the kill because it provided optimal distance between my hand and the spider. I'm sure the message I left on Big Al's voicemail was a more comical description of the night, but none the less. When I was telling the roommate about it, he said it was probably poisonous.
