Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my roomate informed me that her snake was missing in our apartment again. Apparently, I need to be careful because the snake's attracted to blood. I'm on my period. FML

Awwww, how sweet!
Today, after having a 3-day vacation and feeling a bit bummed that it was over, I got home to find a black widow watching her babies hatch in my office window. FML

I'm outta here
Today, my boyfriend's recently mated tarantula disappeared from her enclosure with her egg sac, so she's now somewhere in the house with between 20 and 100 babies hatching within a week. I moved out this afternoon. My boyfriend caused this, he can damn well find her before I set foot in there again. FML

Today, knowing that I have severe arachnophobia, my brother brought over his friend's tarantula. One hour later, the spider got loose. It's been 5 hours and I'm afraid to go to sleep. FML

Today, I discovered a brown recluse spider in my house. Before I could smash it, it escaped under the door. Now I'm freaked out and wearing boots and gloves, clutching at my kittens and waiting for it to appear. My dad laughs everytime he walks past. FML

Today, my roommate thought it would be a good idea to show me his huge new tarantula despite knowing that I have extremely severe arachnophobia. I ended up killing it with a book and apparently now owe him $500. FML

Today, my sister told me she found my escaped tarantula and put it in a box on my bed. I never had a tarantula, and the box was empty when I checked. FML

They like dark areas. I know it's creepy, but be sure to check your sock drawer. I have found more than one in there - thank god they weren't in my actual socks. Speaking of which - if you leave your shoes on the ground, especially near the door - I would think that's the most likely candidate - and the most terrifying. Shake them every morning until it's recaptured, or you think it has escaped. They literally live for years absent squishing. So yes, FYL. On the bright side, I seriously doubt your roommate owns a lethal scorpion. Only one lethal species (out of 80) exists in the States. They're bigger than spiders but that doesn't mean they're badder. There's a reason your roommate was able to obtain one as a pet, so don't be too worried. Based on where I think you live (the Southwest), you've probably had dozens of spiders crawl in and out of your mouth while you sleep, with no negative consequences....so, you know, chew on that....

If you can't find it, tell it to "Get over here".
