My hut is alive! There all sorts of critters that creep and crawl around the floor, in the wooden beams, in the ceiling, and even outside climbing up the walls. I killed my biggest most creepiest roommate tonight. I was going to try and be at peace with the spider the size of a small child’s hand, but my plan failed. I was all because I saw it fall on my cousin Brandon while we were playing Uno. It was a hit and run, but I nailed the spider later with my handy dandy shoe. I am down one roommate, but I am ok with it especially because my sister, Gwen, said that spiders crawl up under mosquito nets…Eek!
Speaking of mosquito net, I am ridiculously grateful for mine, it keeps all kinds of critters from flying or falling on me. I saw a lizard (uzarde in Woleaian) crawling on the ceiling tonight and I though to myself that I am very grateful for lizards because they keep the bug population down a little, but I do not want to be under that guy when he loses his grip on the palm fron!
Early this morning I heard this creepy scratching on metal sound and thought NINJA! However, it was 5 o’clock and I was pretty sure that night crawling hours were over. When I got out of bed around 6:30 I went to see what kind of creature was making all racket and I found a giant hermit crab! We all know how much I LOVE crabs and he was headed for my roof which means that he can get inside my house!
Now, I do have to give this guy some credit because he was a very pretty redish pink color and he got creative and was living out of some piece of plastic. I guess he was so big that he couldn’t find a shell big enough for his butt! However, Mr. hermit crab and I could not be friends due to the simple fact that he was trying to invade my house and he kept me awake at 5 am with thoughts of creepy island men trying to get into my hut! I grabbed the closest coconut I could find and knocked him off my house. Let’s just hope that he was not trying to get to his wife and 3 growing children!
