Eeeeeeeek!

OMG! There are just no words to tell you how freaked out I was today!!

OK so I was running late for the gym. I jumped into my little mazda 121 and headed off down the road, made it to the carpark safe and sound ...when I see something scuttle across the window!

OK so as if that isn't creepy enough, I stayed calm and parked the car, then carefully climbed out and looked around for whatever had done the scuttling...

THERE WAS NOT ONE, BUT TWO FRAKING HUGE HUNTSMAN SPIDERS RUNNING AROUND ON MY CAR!!!

TWO OF THEM! Aaaaarrrrg!

For those non-Australians, while huntsman spiders aren't poisonous, they can still give a nasty bite and they can get very, very big. These ones were not anywhere near the biggest I've ever seen, but with their big, hairy legs out, they were about the size of the palm of my hand.

So yeah, here I am going "shit, shit, shit!" I mean it's not like I can leave them there; I have to drive home after gym! So, I finally found a new use for my BodyCombat/TKD skills! I front-kicked two spiders into oblivion ...and they were moving quickly too! I'm actually kinda proud that my aim was so darn good! Maybe it was the adrenalin?

"Heeya! Starrylizard the spider killer!"

...and yes, after gym I some how managed to build up the courage to drive home. I'm so out there with a can of Mortein tomorrow!!


A list of ways frontkicks have come in useful ( so far in my life )

Writing meme gakked from another journal somewhere or other! If you've read any of my fic, I'd love it if you'd take the time to comment!!

01. Do I have a distinct style of writing?

02. If so, what exactly is it that defines my style?

03. Would you say my stories follow a certain theme?

04. Is there anything you feel I ought to improve or change?

05. Does my style (if I have one) remind you of anyone else?

06. Judging from whatever writing of mine that you've seen, what do you think is/are my strength(s)?

07. What do you think are my weaknesses?


Please do comment on my weaknesses. I'm just as interested in that, if not more, than in my strengths. If you've only read a few of my fics, or only one, feel free to add which one it was too.

Also, if anyone, especially my flist, wants to give me an SGA challenge (ie. any style, spark word/s, characters, other things...maybe something you think would help with any weaknesses pointed out, or play to my strengths?), depending on my rl, my thesis writing and my muse, I may just answer it, though no gaurantees. I'm just after ideas!


A list of my fic so far can be found HERE for anyone interested.
