personal growth

Here is a tale of personal growth:

Last week I came across a spider in the hallway.  Not a daddy long legs mind you, but a big nasty black fat thing - it was prob 1/8 from tip to...tail [shudder].  Anyways, instead of screaming for someone to save me I decided to take matters into my own hands (also, no one was home so I didn't really have a choice).  I did the only logical thing, I grabbed the garbage can from the bathroom and tried to smash the darn thing.  Well when that failed I settled on trapping the spider under the garbage can and waiting for him/her to starve to death...

Five days later and the garbage has been moved to reveal my dead little friend...now I just need to work up the courage to remove the carcass...
