Starrylizard

The Uberhug is aimed at the flist. Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I've been really busy with work and, since all my creative computer software had hissy fits and died, I haven't had as many fandom things to post.

I made a new banner. *points* It's Kyle XY though, so probably no one will care. :P

I just realised there's an older version of photoshop still working on my computer and did a yay dance of happiness. It's not as good as CS and won't take most of my brushes, but it means I can play anyway, so the banner was my celebration. \o/

Also uploaded a Fringe Mood theme just to be completely random.

Got my Sam fic prompts today. *bites nails* I haven't done a fic exchange in aaaages and now I remember why. Pressure much! They're good prompts though, so hopefully I can whip something up!

And that's me. Hope you're all good. :)

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 )
