There are bugs in my library.

Something crashed into the wall and then disappeared a few minutes ago, and now I hear it scratching down around my computer. And then I saw what looked like a huge cricket walking across the floor. I want to know what's down there, but I'm too freaked to look. And now I'm hearing little cracking and scritching noises everywhere and feeling crawlies on my toes. I'm sure the latter at least is in my head but still. Gaaah!

Yeargh!!! Ew ew ew. Just thinking about that gives me the shivers. I think I might have run out of the house screaming.

Are you normally bugged by spiders, or was it just the hugeness of that one in particular?

I'm fine with spiders that are small or that have really little bodies and long skinny legs. It's large bodies that squick me out. Also, I cannot stand crickets--our basement in NC was infested with them, and I hated it. I loathe any bug that can move quickly and is unpredictable. I used to also hate the yearly infestation of junebugs, because they'd fly into the wall, temporarily stun themselves and fall into your hair (or on your face, if you were sleeping--I used to sleep with the sheet pulled up over my face).
