I'm an arachnophobe. A 15 year old, male arachnophobe. Laugh if you must, but there isn't much you can do about it. I normally try to have nerves of steel - facing even the toughest challenges with a brave determination, but coming face to face with a harmless spider will send me packing. Little tiny money spiders I can handle, but once we get into the 1cm+ range I get nervous, big spiders I can't bear to look at, and don't get me started on tarantulas, with their hairy legs and hideous visage.

The reason of this rant is the ridiculously large spider which has decided to take up residence in my room. Despite being a common house spider, it is simply enourmous, and I ran out of the room when I seen it. Before I could get someone to get rid of it, it had scarpered to an unknown postion. So it is in here somewhere now... watching me... waiting for me... when I go to bed it will come out and make a further mockery of me... I'm going to have nightmares of those B****** SPIDERS!!!!
