If you have 8 legs....don't bother me. You probably won't live.

Last night I was laying in bed studying (insert I hate school statement) and I felt something on my face. I went to figure out what it was and a freaking HOPPING black spider jumped off and onto my bed. I of course immediately jumped off the bed. How I did that I have no clue considering the position I was in. I went to my bathroom to collect myself and returned. I could not find the stupid thing anywhere. What a smart spider.
And so began my panic attack, obviously not really but....I have a HUGE fear of spiders. That would be my one thing that I just cannot even think about without getting all skeeved out. Like right now as I'm writing this I'm itching all over. So feel special.
At 11pm with all of my roommates asleep (thanks guys I totally could have used some emotional support) I proceeded to strip my bed of sheets, pillowcases, and the comforter, and went so far as to stock all of it away in the washing machine (Are you kidding me, there was no way I was leaving any of that in my room). I then remade my bed with new sheets. But then as I was trying to sleep I kept waking up thinking something was crawling on me. Which began minor convulsions. So basically I slept with no covers whatsoever seeing as how I kicked everything off. Course that made me feel unprotected, as if a Spider couldn't get through sheets. I should also mention in my panicked stage I SMOTHERED the whole room in Lysol...what that would do I have no clue but in my head I think I was hoping I'd suffocate the spider. Then I started praying it was a hallucination. Legit. I also put on my fan I guess hoping it would both suffocate and freeze. Unfortunately I still haven't found the thing, and trust me I have looked everywhere. I'm surprised I didn't sleep with the light on.
True Story.
Dear hopping Spider,
You may be having a good time now. But I will find you. And you will die. I'm sorry. Well actually I'm not. I am sorry you're a spider though. Not your fault. Find yourself a good hiding place and you'll be safe.
Love, your current roommate Laura
