Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

That's right.
It's near Christmas.
And my mom mentioned something about getting poinsettias.
Which totally made me freak out and go, "Nononono!"
D;
Because the way I see it...
Poinsettias = Attack of the ladybugs.
That's right.
Since I have nothing better to do, I shall explain my fear of ladybugs.

It all started when I was eight.
Or nine, whatever.
Anyways, my mom had bought a dozen potted poinsettias and brought them home.
I specifically remember her placing them in the living room. Next to our TV.
I thought they were beautiful.
But, little did I know, they were a carrier (or attraction) of those dreadful beasts...
-cue annoyingly over-dramatic background music-
The next day, I noticed ladybugs were almost everywhere in our house.
At first it just annoyed me and freaked me out a bit, but then they got into my room. (Ps, I be majorly bug-a-phobic)
Often times I'd wake up and they'd be in my bed, crawling all over me.
Sometimes they even fell into my mouth.
They'd get into our food.
Ugh, and it was nasty when we'd step on them, because that was when we had carpet.
This continued for about a month.
But then, they all died.
Dead ladybugs everywhere.
If you know me well enough, you'd know the only thing that freaks me out more than live bugs are...
Dead. Bugs.
It was horrible.
And my mom made me clean them up.
Oh man, just thinking about it makes me want to gag.

And that is my story.
Also the reason I have not once beaten the new cola chapter on the Sims 2 for GBA.
Dx
I swear, I turned the thing off as soon as I saw the giant ladybugs.

So, feel free to COMMENT.
And share your trauma.
:D
