Confessions of Psychobabble
Most likely all of this is just a jumble of crap. It's fun for me to write and usually a stress relief-yay! that makes me LESS of a neurotic!
...I HATE BUGS...T__T (Help?)
Another ranting session. I had my lunch and I was just brushing my teeth. I normally wander out of my bathroom and into my hallway as I brush so I don't get bored. Strange I know but it keeps me teeth brushing for longer. sweatdrop

I go back in and about have a heart attack. On the edge of my sink is the biggest and most disgusting of this certain type of bug I have ever seen in my entire life. crying I take a huge gasping breath and run out going to get big gloves on and the bug spray to cause it a painful writhing death. 3nodding

So I head back in and...it looked dead. I don't know if you had seen any of this kind but they're....so...bloody disgusting...waaaah. Little gray thing that looks like a gray leech with two antinea <--SP! xd on each end. They're so...ick ick ick. I don't know if they can do any damage to me but like beatles and roaches I don't care they're still horrible and disgusting!!! scream

I spray and spray, getting the stuff all over my counter. And the dead looking thing (I'd moved away all my face washes and cotton pads away) started writhing and squirming. I about screamed. crying

I did get a huge wad of paper towels and multilated it as I squished it in the paper towel and moved it away.

For anyone who is reading this...I'm wondering. My mom refuses to get the house treated for bugs because of the animals and the damage it would do to them. I believe this totally and completely sucks as much as I love my pets. gonk
Is there any decent way to prevent bugs without getting the house sprayed? Any extra extensive cleaning other than the basic stuff?

HAAAAAAALP. crying

    Gray leech with two antennae?

    That's a silverfish. The most it'll do to you is try to eat your books, 'cause they eat paper.

    I don't know about getting your house treated and all, but you can do what I do and kill the small ones before they get bigger. D:

    eek Holy toledo batman. It eats paper? Well, good thing the paper is in my room and not in my bathroom. I wonder where they're coming from...drain pipe mehbeh?

    You mean directly through the drain pipe? o_O That's scary to think about. DX

    I'm going to look in that insect book again to see whether they can swim or not...

    EDIT:

    -they shed to get bigger
    -is very common indoors and enjoys cool, damp places like basements (or your bathroom)
    -also feed on the starch in clothing, leather, fur, and each other
    -nocturnal

    It says nothing about them swimming. D:
