A tiny spider just ran out of my ear.

[SHRUG] Obviously it got bored in there. You should try to think more spider-enticing thoughts.

On the other hand... Ew! =8o{

A spider

A thought occurs to me...
Didn't it run in (or walk in!) first ;)

Ohhhhh, not sure if that has ever happened to me.
Do we have to call you SpiderKate now?

No no no.

[EXPLAINS PATIENTLY TO THE YOUNGLING:] Y'see, once upon a time, the great mummy spider who rules the world from inside Kate's Weird Pan-Dimensional Brayne (TM) noticed that one of her underling worker spiders was a rather handsome looking chap, and thought "Yummy! I'd like him on toast! But first I'd better have his children." And so they got together one evening, and they danced, and they chatted about this and that, and they had "special cuddles" (which your mummy will explain about when you're older), and then they sat down to a lovely romantic dinner for 2... 1.9... 1.8... 1.5.... 1.1... Well, for one, ultimately. Although obviously she was only so hungry because she was now eating for two. Or rather, two hundred and ninety seven.

And a while later, the queen spider (who was now very fat) said "Oh, this preganancy lark is getting such a drag, I could just *burst*!". And being a spider true to her word, all her new little baby spiders made her appearance that day.

But the trouble with baby spiders is that you always get one little inquisitive sod in the pack who thinks the family home isn't good enough for him, isn't *interesting* enough, oh no! So he has to go sneaking out of the first earhole he finds and goes running around the exterior cosmos *meddling* in things...

I'm sure that's a metaphor for something, but I can't think what.

Um. Where was I?

And now for one of my One Word Commentaries:

EEK!

I suppose it could have been a male redback...

I beg to differ

[http://users.livejournal.com/doctor_k_/]

Redbacks aren't that venomous. White-tailed spiders have been much maligned. The Big Black Spiders (like those found in Sydney) are quite venomous, I suppose, but it's really Australian snakes that are amongst the most venomous, not the spiders. Oh, and the jellyfish.

The Big Black Spiders (like those found in Sydney) are quite venomous,

Funnelwebs. Besides, the area in which funnelwebs live is very restriced, they only live in Sydney.

[http://users.livejournal.com/doctor_k_/]

There are other Big Black Spiders in Australia that are venomous - funnelwebs are just one sort.

You need a trained spider catcher.

Eeeek!

Poor Kate...!

Okay, that is OFFICIALLY creepier than a bat in my bed. And far, far more disgusting.

But then that's because it's an insect, and they always win for the creepy factor. Ewwww.

[peeeeeeet.livejournal.com]

I think I'd rather deal with a tiny spider than a bat. Especially if the spider is really tiny. Oops, type "really Tony" then. I'd be quite shocked if arachnids emerging from my orifices turned out to be any characters from Men Behaving Badly. (http://www.menbehavingbadly.com/cast.html)
Then again, I don't really want to find any creatures leaping around and scaring me. Especially humans. Those can be pretty creepy.

I think I'd rather deal with a tiny spider than a bat.

Especially in your ear. The spider made quite enough racket as it was.

[vindaloo-vixen.livejournal.com]

Hate to be the one to do this, but spider is not insect... ;)

A bat in your bed, though? How did that happen? I once had a bat in my shoe, but that was 'cos the cat killed it and put it there.

[kateorman.livejournal.com]

How long did it take you to realise? :-)

I once thrust my foot into a sock only to discover a mole cricket therein. (I know it was a mole cricket because I took it prisoner and looked it up in What the Hell Is That?)

[antikythera.livejournal.com]

I share my apartment with one of these. He pretty much leaves me alone, though-- he's afraid of the light. He eats smaller creepy-crawlies, so I let him stay.

The spiders are not insects...but in a war they will side with the insects!
(Traitor spiders, spider traitors etc. etc.)

Your brain is full of wee beasties! Eeep!
