I hate bugs

[guanin]

I do not understand why my grandparents don't understand why I'm afraid of bugs. I was raised by a bug-phobic soceity, what do you expect? Centipedes are invading the basement and no one seems to care. My cousin is not afraid of bugs and my grandparents are all "well, I've never seen any." Never mind that they don't notice a lot of obvious things anymore. Not that the unspeakable things are wriggling everywhere, but I almost stepped on one a few days ago. I dont care that it fled. That "It's more afraid of you than you are of it" does not work. The fear is equally mutual.

*shudders*

This feels appropriate (http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/03/spiders-are-scary-its-okay-to-be-afraid.html) ;)

THIS. Except for the killing them part, because I'm too damn terrified to get close enough to them to do that. That's my cousin's job. But bugs are evil.

I'm not actually scared of bugs, but they do disgust me. I'm also kind of a huge sap because I hate killing them, but I can understand why others would.

This is less relevant to the issue at hand, but it is relevant to Life, in general. (http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/06/this-is-why-ill-never-be-adult.html)

I'm also afraid of bugs. Mostly because of the incident I had in June wherein I ended up in the emergency room after something I still don't know what bit or stung me.

Yikes! I have two huge bites on my back that are freaking me out, but I feel fine and it's been two days, so I'm not freaking out too much, but it's so damn irritating. *kills all the bugs in the entire world*

I don't really mind bugs as long as they do their own thing and mind their own business. Mosquitoes, I hate and wish would all die. Cockroaches, I find disgusting and would rather not have them in my house. Besides that, whatever. I like having spiders around because they get rid of all the other bugs. As long as they are not crawling on me, we're all good.
