Oh yea. It was NOT cool! I had been home for a while. Had sat down to check my email. reply to a few. Made myself a coke with some ice. Went outside to smoke a cig. (took glass with me) came inside. Started talking with Swift about Isreal and that other country 'having discussions' --what he calls it, i call it war--
next thing i know, i'm drinking and i feel something on my lip (ice long gone by now) and see THAT FUCKING SPIDER! NOW my lip looks like a fever blister is forming and it HURTS so bad. Im' gonna cry.
Phidippus audax is the common jumping spider encountered in North America. So-called jumping spiders (Family Salticidae or Saltids) are known for the spectacular leaps the spiders make pouncing on their prey.(1) There are approximately 4000 members of this family worldwide, and they are especially numerous in the tropics.(2) All species are small, usually less than 15mm long. Jumping spiders do not construct webs, but actively hunt prey during the day, sneaking up and they pouncing on the victim. Many are brightly colored, sometimes with iridescent chelicerae (mouthparts).
They possess 8 eyes and are known to have the sharpest vision of all spiders, important for hunting ability. The arrangement of the eyes, four big eyes on the face and four smaller eyes on top of the head, distinguished Saltids from other spiders.(3) The larger pair of eyes (anterior median on the face) apparently serve for sharp vision, and the others for peripheral vision. Since the lenses of these eyes are relatively fixed, the internal eye muscles serve to move the retina. Because the retina is the darkest part of the eye and it moves around, one can sometimes look into the eye of a jumping spider and see it changing color. When it is darkest, you are looking into its retina and the spider is looking straight at you.(4)
I guess its not deadly, so I'm not gonna die.
However, according to my Bro, it wouldn't matter anyways because Armeggeddon is comming because of Isreal and that other country. You can read more on it Here, compliments of MTV.
So ya, my dad and bro and all them are talking about how the 'rapture' is comming soon and my dad is sayin he doesn't want to leave this earth knowing that i'm going to hell...blah blah...we were doing SO good! SO GOOD! and then Israel wants to get into a fight with someone.... DAMNIT, Israel! BEHAVE! I want my nice father/daughter relationship back instead of Christian vs Pagan. YOU BASTARDS! You killed my Relationship!
Anyways, that was just teasing up there. Calling them bastards and stuff. I'm in pain and want to hurt something. Mutilating that fucking spider didn't help.
Well, I'm off to get ready to meet them for dinner at the South Park. Toodles!
eeeeewwwww!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletei woke up one morning with a puffy lip and there was no explaination!!!! mum said a spider probably peed on me while i was sleeping..
it died down in a day or two..
Jumping spiders are pretty friendly as far as spiders go and their bites aren't painful (believe me I know like I know camel spider ones are). Don't panic next time, save it for the black widows:)
