I can deal with smaller ones if they're at a safe distance and stay in the same place where I can see them and give them evils. Large ones are a big no-no. I'm no good at killing them either, coz I have no aim and freak out.

I was just so unimpressed. Surely if one's living with eight boys, at least one of them should be able to remove a spider from my door?!

This is why one shouldn't watch 'Arachnophobia' as a small child

Poor spiders......
I have the attention span of a gnat with ADHD. Must. Do. Some. More. Work. But it's *so* dull. Oooh....a shiny object.

Poor spiders?!?!

I have very poor concentration as well. I distract myself so easily, to the point where tutors have suggested putting me in a separate room for exams!

Shiny objects are good for the soul. Any shiny object in particular?

I have to clean a bathroom when I go offline. Funnily enough this isn't helping my procrastination.

Oooh, that does sound nice. Is it sparkly?

Hmm, clearly someone didn't watch 'Arachnophobia' when they were young then

Ahh, what a modern man you are

When I was living alone over the summer, and the house had been empty for a month, I had to deal with a lot of very large spiders. It got to the point where I automatically took a hoover into my room at bed time in order to deal with the little bastards. Hate them :>.<:

I only do it cos my mum is scary.

Anyway, surely willingness (or at least lack of ouright refusal) to clean bathrooms is a desirable trait in a man?

No sparkles....just shiney, fiddly delight.

And if someone doesn't tell me I'll be walking soon I *will* buy leopard print crutches. I'm bored.

Does annotating old English poems require special clothing?

Generally the only reasonable solution is to plan ironic revenges. If my friends were being overly PDAy my solution would be along the lines of, go out, find a girlfriend, counter-PDA but more.

That or make rude/bitter comments.

No-one is. It should always be behind closed doors. No holding hands in public*, no "look at us we're together" Facebook profile pictures, no kissing, and certainly no leaving parties early to do things. Public love sets a nauseating precedent. Tell them to GTFO.

(*though my gf disagrees with this one)
