|əˌræknəˈfoʊbiə|
noun
extreme or irrational fear of spiders.

extreme and irrational being the key words here folks.

I write this now, because I just nearly tossed my table with my computer and drink over, when suddenly panicking and thus felt the need to jump 10 feet into the air.
All of this because a spider found it's way to my couch and was prancing towards my knee in direction of my mac.

I loathe spiders. Just in case the previous scenario didn't quite get this across. I dread them. And this fucker was about 1,5 inch in diameter. Not big you say? Well, big enough to make me lose it. Even as I write this I am erratically twitching my head over my shoulder, jumpy, like a snitch about to be located. Only because I fear that one of these damn creatures will come to avenge the death of (what I fear to be) a beloved kindred.

Now that was clearly the irrational part of my fear. Now would be a good time to explain the traumatic event in my childhood that is the cause of this ludicrous phobia. Only there is none.

I have absolutely no idea why the hell I'm so scared of these damn bugs. I do know that my sister had this illogical fear also, so maybe she passed it on to me? Only she has gotten rid of most of hers - (damn her!) - so I feel a bit alone here. Also, I'm supposed to be this butchy and androgynous tomboy, so this really doesn't do much for my image. But to hell with it! I admit it, I'm deadly afraid of spiders!

So what I'm looking for is a femme who can be butch enough to protect me from these freaks of nature. Ideally, this wonder woman would not mind interrupting her activities in order to go out into the bathroom and remove a spider, so that my livelihood (red. bladder) could once again be secured.
Preferably this divinity would report to my apartment immediately, since my usual carefree state of mind has been broken down.

First thing in the morning, I am so vacuuming this whole place. Why do people have to sleep at 2 am anyway? pfft.
