okay.

Whoops! I meant to say "I take it you like Tarantulus" (I probably still didn't spell his name right ).

And you do realize we're kidding, right? Welcome Cougor, welcome!

yeah i realize that. and thank you.

You got something against us? I think me being arachnophobic and still liking Tarantulas pretty much tells what kind of character he is...

We may be creepy (well... at least I am)... but you still luv us none-the-less. ^.^

thats right.

You got something against us?

Of course not! I mean, I don't mind spiders at all. In fact, I like most except for black widows. Tarantulas are cool because they're so big. However, Tarantulas is insane and psychotic. He gives spiders a bad name.

but you still luv us none-the-less.

Yesss, I suppose I do.

EEEEEEEK! I don't want to get in contact with a spider. Tarantulas, I wouldn't mind, but real ones...

Well... I'm also insectophobic. I like ladybugs, butterflies and crickets and such, but I always go into hysterics when a bee, bumblebee, wasp or something like that comes too near. And I hate ants... they bite. And our house is infested with the little critters during summer. They found a hole somewhere a couple of years ago and my Dad has to use bug poison to kill them every year.

But... I love non-poisonous snakes. It's kinda strange that my Mom doesn't mind spiders, but she hates snakes.. and I'm the opposite. Scorpions are the only arachnids that I don't have a stupid fear for. I wouldn't touch one, but I surely don't go hysteric when I see one.

And my Mom hates rats and doesn't mind bats (rhyme... )... I like rats, but only the normal ones. My Mom saw a cat-sized rat once, and I don't like those! It's tail was about the size of a snake, for God's sake! And then... I don't mind bats either. If it was found out that a wild bat wouldn't carry any diseases, like rabies, I would keep the critter on my hand. They're just so cute.

I love almost every insect except for misquitoes and ticks. The praying mantis is my favorite. I enjoy watching them and letting them crawl on me. Butterflies and dragonflies are neat. I like bees and yellowjackets, too. I've been stung by them before but I'm not allergic so they don't bother me. I don't mind letting them crawl on my hands. In fact, I often encourage them to. LoL Beetles, kateydids (sp?), lightning bugs, grasshoppers, cicadas. They're all cool. I've only ever held one walking stick before, years ago when I was little. They're pretty interesting.

Snakes are awesome; I love holding them. Boas and pythons are beautiful. My sibs and I used to mess around with water snakes and copperheads when we were little. Heh. I've never owned one, though. The only reptiles I had were a bunch of anoles and a baby iguana. My younger sister has a white-spotted gecko, though.

I like bats. Everyone should. They eat millions of bugs. I'd like to own a rat sometime. I think they're so cute. ^.^ But since I already own an angel fish that doesn't want to die, I have to wait on getting a rodent. My mom doesn't want too many pets in the house, I guess. I have no room right now for a rat cage anyway, which I'd also have to buy because I don't think it would be comfortable in a 10 gallon hexagon tank.

My mom isn't frightened when it comes to bugs, arachnids, rodents, etc. That's probably where I get it from. My dad doesn't really like reptiles. I don't recall him ever touching the ones I used to have. LoL Sissy.

i guess my avatar caused this. i'll go ahead and change it.

Nah, don't bother, I'll stop twitching...eventually...*twitch*

Heh, this might have started an interesting topic though. Maybe somebody should put a thread in "General Information" about what everybody is afraid of. It could be interesting, eh?

yeah. very interesting.
