...and won. I just went to the fridge for a midnight snack and saw it by the stove. This is the third one I've come across in my life. The first one I ever saw, I was actually reaching for a shoe to kill a wolf spider and when I lifted it there was a scorpion hiding underneath the heel. They're pretty common where I live but even then I don't see them too often. Anyway I can't sleep now 'cause if I do I know I'll dream of scorpions attacking me. Also, for the next couple of hours anything that brushes my leg will cause me to man-scream.

Clearly the house is being overtaken. I don't necessarily want to burn it down, but I might warm up to the idea if I get to use a flamethrower.

I've never had to deal with a scorpion before, just big cockroaches that sometimes fly.
You could enslave them to do your bidding and become the next Scorpion King.

Hmm tempting, I do like the idea of being King and enslaving things.
Roaches are the worst. And the ones that can fly terrify me. I had one fly at me through an open window once when I was visiting family in Malaysia. I'm so glad I don't live in an area where roaches are abundant.

A-a scorpion?
I've never seen a scorpion in real life. 8U Only in books or on the discovery channel. Stuff like that.
I suppose it must be exciting, though?
I've never seen a cockroach either, although I have no doubt that I'd be terrified of them. [/sup]

Never seen a roach?! I want to live your life. You must have some other sort of multi-legged craziness where you live though. And scorpions are an excitement I could totally live without.

Killing roaches are fun. I like grabbing other people's shoes and chasing them and quickly smashing them. Better than spaying Raid. I have even found them on the ceiling and a pair went down my shirt.
She probably has spiders....

I do indeed have some multi-legged crazies! FallenSamurai is spot on -- there are spiders where I live. And I hate them. :'c /is deathly afraid of anything with six or eight legs.
/except for grasshoppers, butterflies, and ladybugs, those are cool.
...They went down your shirt?
...That's horrendous. :'C [/sup]

I have even found them on the ceiling and a pair went down my shirt. Gross! Roaches are probably my least favorite. Spiders are gross too but they kill other bugs so at least they've got that going for them. I don't even know what purpose roaches serve. I do indeed have some multi-legged crazies!

Funny thing is that when I was younger, spiders fascinated me! But then something happened that made me hate them.
I've never seen the really big grasshoppers, only small ones. Oh, I also like caterpillars!
Roly polies?! I don't like them either. x: [/sup]

I always thought caterpillars were cute, and then my parents got some on their jalapeno plant. They pretty much killed that plant; leaves, jalapenos and all. And when I tried to touch them they jerked around violently and spit out some blood-red liquid. It grossed me out and now I hate caterpillars.
