Thoughts Returning

Well, I just had a wonderful weekend. Several of my friends from High Point came to visit me on Thursday and they just left tonight. Karl, JJ, Katie, Denise, Heidi, Megan, all good people. Right now I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to move out of this house. It might take a little more work than I'm giving it credit for, but who knows. I'll take it one step at a time and figure out the difficult parts hopefully before Friday.

It's funny how now that school is over I'm really starting to develop a sense of appreciation for the world around me. I guess I just get so busy during school that I forget value outside of that bubble. But now I'm getting new ideas and new inspirations. I'm still a bit shabby at managing my time, but that'll get better once I get rid of my TV. Reading more is definitely on the list of things to do. I want to spend more time writing as well, more serious and formal writing, unlike this journal.

Sometimes I feel like I waste a lot of space with my journals. Not all of them. Sometims I really do look back and appreciate what it is I have written. But sometims I feel like it's shallow, unoriginal, bland, any of the above. Sometims I feel like I could spend just a bit more time thinking out what it is I want to say. But these are really the best I have for now.

Ha! I just caught a larger brown recluse scurrying around me as I was writing. I didn't kill him though. I have decided that I shall keep it for a short while and study it. I want to know how fast it can move, when it prefers to stay dormant, and especially how it kills and eats. I'm going to find a bug in just a few moments so I can put it in the jar. Now I've poked air holes in the jar so the spider can breath, but they're not big enough for him to escape through. This is the lady I'm talking about. You can't see her color because the picture isn't that great, but I'm not about to hold her for a better view.

It's funny. I was just telling my guests that I hadn't seen a brown recluse in my room in almost a year and a half. That's true, I wasn't just trying to comfort them, but I find it to be a little ironic. I suppose it decided that with all of these extra people and things lying around the house, it would have a little more room to go unseen. Not to be the case. So I'll study it and then, when I'm done, I will kill it. I have very little mercy on such loathsome nightstalking vermon.

Hmmm... It appear she lost a leg during my apprehension. I say "she" not to be steriotyping, but because chances are it is a female. They grow much larger than the males. But I think I'll call her Nubs for the time being.

Now I'm going to find a bug, feed Nubs, read, and go to bed. I have work early in the morning. Peace and love.
