Voice of experience: no sleep and caffine overdose can cause hallucinations. As well as make attacks against one's psyche easier and more effective.

Ah, she's watching Splash! That explains why I didn't know the dialigue but had the inkling it was from something.

A couple years back, there was a guy at work, "Big Mike". Friendly kind of guy, often had interest or unique stuff to say. Well, one day while we were working, a conversation steers to how he claims to have not slept for several months. Says he was certain he was being or in danger of being possessed. I found this very difficult to believe, even before learning death can occurr without R.E.M. sleep, and it doesn't take months. However, I don't think he was blatantly lying…I'm no expert (I don't even watch "Lie To Me"), but I think he may've exaggerated a state that genuinely happened; perhaps there was a months-long period where he got SO LITTLE sleep, it felt like NO sleep at all.

Anyway…funny how this page leads into a dream/hallucination today, when  I woke up from several dreams I WANTED to be dreams, wanted to wake up from, but there were convincing indictations to it being reality. Becks should've tried reading some literature on lucid dreaming while she was pulling her all-nighters.

Do not allow yourself to ever give in to despair or self-pity…that's my job and it's copyrighted, bucko!

The idea of that happening terrifies me. I hate spiders.


…I'm going to be cringing at an awful lot this season, aren't I?

Yess…. yes, you will.  But not as much as you will once you read that the average human adult will swallow between 4 and 8 spiders in their sleep… each year.  (just don't visit Snopes and check that, they, umm, don't want you to know the truth – yeah, that's it!)

Well, good thing I didn't make that deal with Spider not to kill her children then.

Well… Anansi can suck it. If I see one of his kids around me, I'm killing the little bastard. *shudders*

Small spiders I have no issue with. But one of my roomates had a tarantula and it got out of it's terrarium….nothing like waking up to see something with half-inch long fangs on your chest.. cost me $200 and a staff after I killed it and remove it's fangs from said staff.

Only once have i ever dreamed of the wave of spiders, and it was over 20 years ago. But it still gives me chills.

It's time for another good idea, bad idea:
Good Idea – Getting your Insider character into the comic
Bad Idea – Joining the EOD to do so.

Gratz to Jacobus for the New Avatar!

Relax Jacob. It was river cane and split while I was trying to kill the tarantula and it caught the fangs in the split and yanked them out of it's head.

Technically it'd have been the spider's cephalathorax, as spiders don't have heads.


I still get a little quakey around Black Widows (real ones, not the false ones that are small, shiny, and black). I used to be real bad about 'em, but living in a shop for a long time where everything from ants to earwigs to tarantulas would randomly show up (I actulally kinda liked having the tarantulas around, after our cat was shot, killed, and dumped on our front step, the mice and crickets got to be real bad, after the tarantulas showed up they both ceased to be problematic).

I know I'm in the minority, here, but I like spiders.  Most are harmless and eat all of the more annoying bugs.

Besides, my grandpa is a spider, so I kinda have to like them.

Sympathy from anyone who has ever walked into a spiderweb unexpectedly.  Yuck.

I don't mind spiders. Until they cross my path. Then I instinctively grab tissue, grab'em and give them a "burial at sea".
