Spider Update


The war agains the spiders has taken a new turn, but not a positive one. After the exterminator came, we thought we had all but won. We were wrong. The spiders have a new plan of attack. They have become more aggressive. Just last night I killed two adults within half an hour. One of them I saw from my periferal vision as I was sitting down. He thought he could climb onto my arm, but now he is dead. The other one was just chillin out on a curtain. We thought he had gotten up there on Weeman's computer cables before Weeman moved out and that he just couldn't figure out a way to get back down yet. That, at least, is one theory. The other theory sudjests that they come out of the air vents.

In answer to all of the threats, we debated new strategy and then tried to find someone's house we could crash at for the night. We realized that it was probably a little too late to call someone up, being that it was around 12:30 in the morning so... we set up my tent in the living room. That seemed to settle everyone enough to get to sleep, but the other guys still didn't sleep well, probably not just because of the spiders, but they're not to used to sleeping on the floor. I sleep on the floor every night though, so I got knocked out and woke up at around 9.

As for tonight, I don't know what we'll do. We might have to plan a new assault. The death toll right now is 10 brown recluse casualties and 0 human, but they're not giving up yet.

Outside of that situation, move-in day was yesterday for both Vanderbilt and Belmont. The city is bustling with young impressionable freshman faces. I miss the initial get-go of being an RA right now, but that will all change in a week. It was really nice, after all, to come home to a nice quiet house instead of having to stay at the university and deal with angry and depressed parents. Oh, but all my love is with you guys that are.

Today I'm going to move into my own room though. Weeman moved into his apartment yesterday so I will be temporarily using his room until Stuffy goes to England. At that point I may or may not decide to move upstairs. All of this, of course, is pending on the spider situation. I really would like to know when all of them are dead, just for the sake of peace of mind. I guess I can't have everything though. Peace and love.
