I woke up this morning with a spider in my ear.
For some reason, spiders seem to be attracted to my sleeping form. Past encounters with spiders include one hugeass wolf spider that I found sitting happily on my mouth one morning and about a zillion unidentified baby spiders that hatched somewhere in my room and found their way under my covers, giving me the strange feeling that my legs were covered in bugs (they were). But the evil bastards have at least stayed out of my various orifices until today.
As consciousness came this morning, I felt something light brush against my right ear. I automatically swiped at it, thinking it was a floating tuft of Qubit hair (not at all uncommon around my apartment). I was confused when I heard and felt a drumming sound deep within my ear; it sounded like there was fluid sloshing around.
Crap, I thought, are my ears going to fill up with fluid and make me deaf again like that time a few years ago?
I sat up and tilted my head to the left to see if the fluid would slosh. It did, sort of, but something didn't sound quite right. I tilted my head to the right, and was rewarded with the eerie sensation of something falling out of my ear. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a dark spot on the bed, which I assumed to be fluid soaking into the dark sheets. But when I looked closer, the dark spot moved. Turns out it had legs. Eight of 'em. It was a tiny black spider, no bigger than a pencil eraser.
That's fucking creepy is what that is.

I assume you promptly ended his existence?
Re: And...
Spiders blow hard. They're like, uhhh, Courtney Love...nobody likes them, but they keep coming back.
Re: And...
I like spiders just fine. I do however prefer them to stay outside.
Amazing
I think its amazing with everything happening with the hurricane that you can post about bullshit like this. You haven't even once mentioned it.
Re: Amazing
Yeah, it's a shame. Probably aren't that many spiders left down there.
Re: Amazing
What the fuck. I can't beleive that with all of the 24/7 news coverage, days later, that you can post this bullshit on an otherwise unadulterated news site.
Re: Amazing
By the way, I didn't post anything about the tsunami either. I recommend you stop reading my website, because I'm obviously an insensitive bastard.
P.S. I really, really do wish you would stop reading my website. You hate me. I get it. Don't you have better things to do? This is the Internet, you know. You've got choices.

Its also amazes me that you still reply to my trolling posts.
Re: You:0 Me:3
Is it so surprising? I love trolls. Haven't you noticed that I rarely respond to anyone but trolls? It's a shame you seem to be the only one left these days.
Re: You:0 Me:3
That was some classic internet drama. Excellent. For a moment I had almost thought the whole thing was staged by you and your friends. To my delight it wasn't.
Dont try this at home!
Woman torches house trying to kill spiders...
Re: You:0 Me:3
If he ran off with a black guy could we work racism and homophobia into this somehow?
If you want to prevent this problem...
If you should happen to have an insect trapped in your ear again do not panic, simply use a few drops of the oil into the affected ear as mentioned here: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/print/ency/article/000052.htm
Another thing I should mention is that insects in your dwelling are a symptom of a bigger problem. Make sure there is no food that attracts insects into your house lying around. Be meticulous about the cleaning! Spiders cannot survive without a food source (insects) so if you have spiders you have insects which are attracted to your house by something and by eliminating that you can sleep soundly.
Hope this helps!

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I have a spider in my ear. Yesterday I tried to brush it off of me and it began crawling all over me.I now have a sharp pain in one ear only, and it is very sore.I am definately not sick. I do not want to go to the doctors for this- I want to take care of it myself if possible. Does anyone have a solution other than the mineral oil? Please help.
