Don't even talk about earwigs until you've been on a cub scout trip in a 2 man tent with 3 other kids and somehow the tent gets flooded to about an inch high and the freaking earwigs are swimming around in it and waking the smallest kid up in the middle of the night crawling all over him and him terrifying the rest of us and screaming at the top of his lungs! >_______<

My first son is a plush Cthulu (adopted)
The second we're adopting is a purple plush imp (kind of the ones at WoW) wich I saw in the library. But it's too big so maybe we wait until they make it 20cm tall.
We have also a plush seal, but the Cthulu didn't like it and tried to eat her (did I say my bf is weird too?).

I should post a family picture someday.

I also despise earwigs. Once we were at my grandmother's house swimming in her big pool. It was a common summertime occurance when I was younger. We had come in my dad's little Volkswagon Rabbit thingie, since my mom's car was being fixed. My grandmother had found a lovely old birds nest that she wanted us to have! So, I took it and my brother, sister, and I all went out to the car to wait for my mom to come out. I sat down in the front seat, with the nest in my lap. A few short seconds later, I felt something moving on my lap. I lift up the birds nest....and about 50 bajillion earwigs were wriggling around all over my legs, in and around my bathing suit, and all over the nest. I hurled it to the ground, flung myself from the car, and dashed into the house, hollering all the way about the Pincher Bugs that were going to eat me. My grandmother was quite upset that she had given me a pincher-bug infested nest to hold on my lap. From this day forth, I hold a great disgust for the common earwig. I no longer fear them as I once did but....man, I hate them.

I also have a fairly vast pig collection. Anything with pigs, I want or have.

I have. There isn't much we can do since they come into the house in the winter. I think they have babies in our laundry room too..

A few nights ago I was poking around on Morrowind.. I look up.. and there is a HUGE spider crawling towards my foot. I ended up having to stomp it a good 4-5 times just to kill it and you could hear it crunch.. sad.gif

Weird thing is.. I'm afraid of dead spiders too tongue.gif

I got accepted to a leadership conferance at the college I'll be attending next year. smile.gif I'll be getting interviewed for scholarships.

I finished the application at 1:30 AM on the day of the deadline. biggrin.gif WooHoo Procrastination!

Though what I wrote was damn good. tongue.gif

Watch me get down there and freeze up around everyone.. "It's real people! ZOMG!" I just have to remember how badly I'll kick myself later if I don't talk to anyone.

I'm not very social in real life. If I don't find a person interesting then I'm not going to go out on a limb to speak to them, unless they speak to me.

What am I going to wear...

ohmy.gif Me neither. I tend to make a few good friends and then not go out of my way for anyone else unless they really interest me. Especially because I'm pretty shy in person, so I'm kind of hard to get to know.

Hrm what's something no one knows.

I've always wanted to be an archaeologist, and have seriously considered switching my major to art history and archaeology (from computer science), but I think I'd make more money in CS so I probably won't :/.

People mistake my quietness for shyness, no.. I'm just picky. I have done some very unshy things in my lifetime. biggrin.gif
Unknown2006-01-16 21:47:02
Booooo shyness! ninja.gif

I used to be shy, but during the last few years of high school I really opened up. I'm one of the weirdos you might see walking in the mall, talking to a stranger as they try to sell a product they're not affilated with (I did this with smoothies once during a lunch break)., but strange enough this only comes out when I'm with some friends.

Oh, right.. the thread.. umm.. I just was at the Wizards vs 76ers game, but now have to go to work. sad.gif

Pickyness isn't bad, though. Unless you're too picky... closedeyes.gif

My friends make me do weird things.. They once dared me to ask this little boy out that works at Mcdonalds. I've never seen someone make that face before, but they all found it very funny when the little boy told me he didn't have a phone. (ow, burn)
Veonira2006-01-16 22:01:15
Well I'm not shy with/around friends tongue.gif. just mainly around large groups of people I don't know but are people who I could become friends with.

Eastern Medicine tells us that you can discover a lot about a man through his feet. Who am I to argue otherwise?

I fear cheesegraters.

I fear walking up the stairs to bed at night, incase someone shoots an arrow through the glass in my front door and it digs into my leg and then the arrow's on a string and they pull me through the banister and then out of the door.

Seriously. I censor.gif myself when I walk up to bed at night, so much so that I generally just jump the 7 stairs it is that I feel vulnerable about. laugh.gif
