so, last night i went to bed at a pretty reasonable hour (midnight). and then i woke up to all this noise. i knew it was the cats, but i wasn’t satisfied. i had to know why. so, i got out of bed and turned on one of the lights in my room. they were trying to catch moths that my mom let in when she came home late. but i still wasn’t satisfied. so, i turned on my big room light and started looking around my room. THERE WAS A FREAKING HOUSE CENTIPEDE in that corner place where the wall meets the ceiling.. and so i freaked out. i tried to be quiet and take care of it myself. it started running on the ceiling towards me. i ran out of the room, and when i looked back, it wasn’t there anymore. then, as i was looking for it with my brother’s shoe in one hand (he has bigger feet= more distance between me and the scary monster) and some lysol kitchen cleaner which i have found to slow down insects and arachnids in the other, my brother walks out of his room and said he hadn’t gone to bed yet (it was 4:30 am and i was trying to be quiet for him!!) and he said he wouldn’t help me kill the house centipede because i had lost it. he just went to bed as soon as i told him i had a problem.. so i stood there, in my room, frightened. FINALLY, the cats come into my room, sick of playing with moths i guess, and then one of them catches something. i make her move away a little so i don’t spray her with lysol, and i spray the thing and then beat it to death with a shoe. and then i was afraid to go back to bed again because “HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED A HOUSE CENTIPEDE IN MY NIGHT CHECK BEFORE BED?!” (i have a system of checking my room, primarily the bed, for unwanted creepy crawlies that i do EVERY NIGHT)
