I was just tested

Gnarly, translucent spider spotted while trying to cook pasta!  I passed the test though, I scooped him up in a conveniently-just-emptied coffee jar and took the 'little' guy outside, instead of freaking out and squashing him.  Again, I was much better as a child.  I used to hunt spiders.  Not to kill them, but to catch them and freak other kids out with before I put them back.  Wolf spiders were my favorite because they were the easiest to find.  Tunnel webs.  At some point in my life however, I turned into an omnivorous scaredy-cat.  Not that I've ever eaten much meat...And I haven't killed many spiders in my life, I always feel strange about it.  But, after that first one, the squashing became easier.  Way easier than the catching/releasing system.  And if they are especially freaky, take par example, this translucent one that is now roaming the streets of Paris, I go into survival mode and it becomes their life against mine.  Tonight we both win, and I don't feel strange about it.
