Eep! Was it a cane spider? Egad those fuzzy things can get pretty dang big and jump out. I was once picking up some soda cans outside to recycle and one just jumped out of the mouth of the can, i think it was 4 inches, so not as big as your spider but egad, I had a mini heart attack. My husband when he first saw on at UH, thought we had tarantulas on the island, ha ha, man, them and roaches, i can't stand em. Brrrrrr!

How did I not know you lived in Hawaii? Wow! Yes, the cane spiders are the ones I mean, and they are some scary muthas. I'm supposed to like them, they really are harmless, but they're so dang creepy looking and super fast! When I was working at a record store on island, I saw one on my cash register that was, seriously, as big as my hand. Maybe bigger, all stretched out. I've seen two others around the island that same size, but mostly the smaller ones. I don't mind them so much, they just startle me, it's those centipedes I want to kill! They're made of evil!

No worries, I live in Colorado now, but yeah grew up there. Ha ha, just a few weeks back I was replying to Lily in a comment how I grew up in Wahiawa, near the botanical gardens and she told me you used to live near there, but in a meaner section. Oh gawd, I'm still creeped out by this one time (maaany years back)I woke up and in the hollow section made by the small of my back as I was laying down was a coiled up black centipede that if stretched out would prob be eight or nine inches long. It was and is the only time in history I jumped straight up from a lying down position. My papa had no qualms of killing bugs and crawlies, he took a hammer to it. Winter rains always brought monster centipedes out. But for all the creepy crawlies I still miss Oahu... which is also another reason why i love your comics hun - like a piece of home in my DA inbox

Oh man, Wahiawa... yeah, some parts of it were very cool, but I lived in the rotten part. No good. GAAHHHH your story is horrible! I would be scarred forever. I once had one in a pair of jeans as I was putting them on, but nothing so bad as having one try to snuggle me in the night. Luckily, we don't get a lot of centipedes where I live now because my landlord makes this crazy salt that's poisonous to them and he sprinkles it around our cottage every few months. Very rare that we ever see one.

~orientalbunny Sep 26, 2011

Oh my gawd, i think the jeans one is actually worse! Eeek! That is totally scarring!!!!!! On a humorous note, I once had something like that some years back, i felt something "crunchy" in my jeans and I was jumping up and down and shaking my pant leg and freaking out in a bookstore bc i really thought it was the nightmare of all nightmares of having a big roach or spider in my jeans, and my hubby, boyfriend back then, reached in for me bc I was such a big baby about it all, and pulled out a small torn crumpled piece of paper that just somehow got in my pant leg. Ha ha, kind of funny, nothing as scarring as yours, man if that did happen to me, i'd forever wear skirts.

That's really good with the salt, because as you said centipedes are not like spiders, those things are like evil incarnate. Gawd and the big black plated ones that are even hard to kill with a hammer because they like take their vitamins every day or something and move super fast. Ugh. I'm totally glad you're out of the shitty part of wahiawa and in your cute cottage. I remember some scary parts if you went down california ave far enough.

~elephantblue Sep 26, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

It wasn't that bad, I stripped like a Vegas showgirl and the thing crawled right out! But best believe I did the cootie dance for a good half hour after. Ha! The paper down the pants is funny, but it'd be mainly embarrassing having the boyfriend reaching down your pants in a bookstore! Good story for the grandkids, though.

I do wear skirts a lot these days, now you mention it, and always shake out my pants first. Gotta learn those lessons only once. Spiders are useful, even beautiful if you look the right way, but yes, centipedes are children of Satan, created only for destruction and discord.

And yes, I'm glad to be out of Wahiawa as well. My cottage in the jungle is fantastic and lovely and quiet, and I never again have to hear the daily screams of "WHEA IS YO GODDAM BROTHA? DID YOU LOSE HIS ASS AGIIIN?!" or "STOP THAT FUCKING SHIT, YOU ARE SIX FUCKING YEARS OLD NOW!" nor do I have to run and close all my windows three times a day when everyone in my apartment complex lights up their doobies right under my windows. You could set your clock by them.

So much would that be my boyfriend's reaction.
