Wow! I didn't know they were that popular. Modern day Beethoven, I like that. My boyfriend is the one who really wanted to see them. I really looove Mogwai though. We had tickets last year to see them but their visas didn't go through so they canceled and rescheduled it. Then their visas didn't go through again so they rescheduled it for a year later which was this past month. Unfortunately we moved to Florida from NJ 5 months ago (the concert was in NYC) and we had to miss it and it wasn't a sold out show so we ate the $50+ dollars we spent.

This is my favorite Mogwai song. It has such an eerie vibe to it. It's hard for me to listen to sometimes but oh so beautiful.

No other song gives me a feeling in my chest like this song. It's almost a feeling of regret. It reminds me of December and cold and snow and anxiety that comes with visiting family for Christmas.

Lol, the only bugs/creep crawlies/spiders/etc that freak me out are maggots and stick insects.
Maggots because the way they wiggle, it hypnotises you and you can't help but wiggle too *heebie jeebie dance*
And stick insects only because you dismiss them as just a stick, then they move and give you a SURPRIZE, then it's like ohh it's ok it's just a stick insect. That's too much up and down for me in such a small space of time. :)
 
I would let the stick things walk all over me. Not for fun, but to show that I'm not afraid of them.

Spiders, on the other hand...just no. I mean of course I'd have my price, but it would be really high.

Funny (not at the time) story: In '08 when I was living in Brisbane, we would regularly get huntsman spiders in our apartment. For someone who is afraid of a spider the size of a coin, a huntsman is straight out of a worst nightmare. Anyway, one night I went into the toilet and had a seat. Glance over at the wall and there it is. Nearly the size of my hand, barely more than an arms length away. 8o Fear, terror, horror...Long story short, I ended up walking to a public restroom ten minutes away. And I did this for longer than I care to admit.

Ended up finding the thing in my shower, so I closed the screen door and had it trapped. I showered at my gymnasium's locker room (nude, group shower with other men...not nearly as bad as facing the spider) for a week straight. Anyway, I invited a friend of mine over for dinner and I had to warn her before she went to the toilet to "not open the shower door." Two minutes later and I am asking her to catch the spider and take it outside for me. She does, but then is convinced that I invited her over to kill the spider, under the false pretense of a romantic dinner, and tells me that she's leaving.

I really hate spiders.
 
I'd be weary of any poisonous spiders, but otherwise they are fucking cute. We have huntsman spiders here but we call them Avondale spiders because the only place they live in New Zealand is Avondale. In Science club at school, because I went to school in West Auckland we got to build new homes for the Avondale spiders in the community because all the Wattle trees being cut down and they need like layers of the bark peeling effect of those trees to live in between the layers. We made their new homes with corrugated iron and stuff it was fun, and of course had bonding moments with alot of spiders, some of them as big as my whole hand if you measure from legspan. They are fucking cuties, serious pick one up next time they are fine! Be gentle though because otherwise they will be shit scared of YOU haha.
 
My Father My King is a great one. I love them.

I'm glad to hear your friend is alright Libby.

LOL Red, the spider story. My boyfriend is the same way. Except with stinkbugs at our old house. He'd make me catch them and every time I'd made a blood curdling scream.

As a kid my dad used to have me playing with all sorts of creepy bugs. He'd always be telling me to let the daddy long leg spiders crawl on me. It wasn't afraid then but I would never touch them now. I heard somewhere daddy long legs are as poisonous as brown recluses but their fangs aren't big enough to puncture our skin. I was good on daddy long legs after that.
 
Libby and Red, those descriptions/stories gave me a laugh.

I read about this Australian spider, I think it was the funnel web spider, a larger tarantula looking guy who can swim, bite through leather, and is extremely venomous. I wanna move there when I grow up.

It also brings to mind, living in CA, how so many brown recluse bites occur in bed, within the folds of the covers. And lastly, I fell asleep once at a landscaping job I held and awoke with several black widows on my arm. I haven't slept on any job since, haha.

(Oh, and the daddy long leg venom thing is a myth)

Okay, I'm done being a creep.

Dude, we had a funnel web spider the size of a hand living in our bathroom. We lost the damn thing after we saw it once, im really hoping the cold weather has destroyed it because they are seriously bad bad news.
Daddy long legs are cool. We encourage them to live around our place because they eat up a lot of other random insects and spiders.
You should see the bathroom where I am living. So many daddy long legs.
 
I'm usually not too fond of spiders and sometimes let out a little yelp when I see them. One time I let one live in my room on my window blinds for a month or two and would just lay down in my bed and stare at it for hours. I'm not sure why I wasn't afraid of that particular spider, but I do remember being kind of sad when it did disappear for good.

Pin the legs back and hold the fangs to me, piercing my flesh and delivering whatever nasties to my system that they may. I would gladly choose to be bitten by a poisonous spider and have to go through the aftermath, albeit with no leg-contact and a contrived bite like that, than to have a large spider crawl all over me with no bite. I hate the legs.

I'm not joking when I say that the Amazonian bird-eating spiders are one of the things holding me back from my desire to go to Peru to search for ultimate truths. What type of deity would make a world with the path to enlightenment paved with gigantic spiders? That's just cruel.

Spider dads lol <3 moe.

It's 6am and I'm headed to the vet to get my dog Belle spayed. I am so tired x.x and I'm really scared for her. Urgh!!!
 
^She'll be fine. She has a wonderful mama and papa to look after her afterwards and give her lots of lubbins. <3
 
All the best for your puppie, stardust.
Speaking of pets, I need to replace Noodles' heat lamp. Our bedroom is getting extremely cold and I accidentally broke the poor guy's lamp when I was re-arranging his tank the other day!
He must hate me, because he loved that lamp.
