Yes. And I like it.

Elizabeth, I'm not sick, I just like creepy crawlies. Especially spiders.

 

[minsue]

Yes. And I like it.

Wouldn't have you any other way, Loulou.

 

[Guest]

Wouldn't have you any other way, Loulou.

Anyway, have you seen your AV recently? You call me twisted.

 

[ElizabethWest]

Creepy crawly fetish? Yes, in my book that makes you in need of medical attention. But I still loves ya...

Good point. This one would be much better, don't you think?

Or This one, since it has a cricket too.

Aw. He's cute! You should use him.

I have many fetishes, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that I have a creepy crawly fetish. I just like them.


Then again, they would be fun for scaring the shit out of someone.

LOL!!! Especially the second one.

I'll forgive him munching on a cricket, cos he's so cute.

Lou, you are sick.

LouLou, I thought you were my friend.
*bursts into tears*

PS - Min I didn't open your attachments. They might be grasshoppers. You are sick, all of you.

Oh, but I am.

I just can't help loving the cute little creepy crawlies. I give them a home, when all others shun them. You should see my back garden, it has an eco-system all of its own. I go out there and I play with them. I lay down and let them scamper all over me. They are so sweet.

Oh, and have this thing about hearing grown men scream. It does somethng very strange to me.

Unexpectedly running across that picture you had to quote actually did make me scream. I am at peace with all creatures, except grasshoppers.

 

[oggbashan]

I don't like locust swarms and I hate the sound they make when you walk on them. I wouldn't class that as a phobia.

I don't like Praying Mantises. Again, not a phobia.

Australian giant centipedes - those are a phobia.

I have a colleague who is flatly terrifed of stick insects. I found this highly amusing but tried not to show it.

[carsonshepherd]

See, the thing about admitting your fears is, people will always torment you. I mean always. And not just older brothers. People you consider friends *sniff sniff* will torment you with, oh, hideous pictures of grasshoppers.

You are all evil people. I am so, so sorry I made that comment about the fish tank... I am deeply ashamed. My kharma debt is now paid in full. Thanks a lot.

 

[ElizabethWest]

Get over it, princess.

 

[carsonshepherd]

See how I get no sympathy? Okay, no more sensitive guy. Meet the Man of Steel, baby.

I thought you turned in that title when you...nevermind...I'll just end up in trouble...

Have I ever done anything like that to you, young man!

 

[carsonshepherd]

Have I ever done anything like that to you, young man!

No, my darling love. But I was feeling very hurt and very suspicious... for a moment I thought everyone I loved had turned on me... forgive me for blanketing you with my paranoia.

 

[minsue]

*pout*

If I wasn't so hard up for love, I'd pout longer.....

 

[yui]

Yui, that experience is enough to make anyone phobic. It gave me a shudder reading it.

Awfully glad the BF was there. *nuzzle*

Thank you for the nuzzle. I'm glad he was there, too. He was a good guy and an excellent kayaker. I still miss him sometimes when I think about the people who made me who I am so far.

This made me remember something that happened to me once, Yui. I live near Mammoth Cave and there are many smaller caves on private property around here. When I was in high school I went with a small spelunking group to a private cave. It was very narrow, the kind you have to slide into on your belly or your back. I was fine with that part, I'm not claustrophic.

But as I was sliding in on my back, the light on my helmet illuminated the roof of the cave which was technically only inches from my face. It was completely covered with cave crickets. So thick you couldn't see space between them. I almost threw up and wasted no time getting my nappy ass out of there.

Sorry Carson. I wouldn't have posted those pics if I had remembered that experience. Apparently I buried that memory.

*shudder*

Oh, Elizabeth, this gives the willies on a number of levels! *shudder* The claustrophobia, and I have to admit that large colonies of things, but particularly insects, make me queasy, too.

 

[logophile]

No, my darling love. But I was feeling very hurt and very suspicious... for a moment I thought everyone I loved had turned on me... forgive me for blanketing you with my paranoia.

Carson - I would never turn on you! Much and many es to you!

 

[carsonshepherd]

I know... but there was a thing with grasshoppers... *sniff* still traumatized...

 

[ElizabethWest]

I'll get down on my knees again for you and beg forgiveness if it will help...
