i've been feeling like crap for the past couple days, so i figured i'd clean my room to help cheer myself up today (yes, i'm one of the few who actually enjoy cleaning).

i saw a lot of cobwebs and dust hanging from my ceiling, and i decided i'd hit getting rid of them first. i was dusting away the cobwebs above my door when i notice something moving... SPIDER! yay! D: a daddy long-legs, too. you know, those ones with tiny bodies and freakishly long legs? it was almost exactly the same color as my ceiling, so i didn't notice it until it started shaking and nearly fell down. i'm totally glad it didn't - if it had, it would have landed right on top of my head.

i was considering catching it in a plastic tub and taking it outside, but i think i'll leave it there for my dad to deal with. i hate spiders ;__;

i told my dad i need him to help me move my desk when he gets home so i can pick up all the things that had fallen over the edge. i looked down the small space and saw all sorts of shit...i wonder if anything is living there, too.

oh yeah, and when i was little, i think i was cleaning and getting the stuff that fell under the couch cushions (or just being weird and throwing the cushions off for no reason). i found my sister's opened fruit roll-up from that morning, covered in dirt and stuff. then i ate it. didn't taste bad!

so, anyway, what terrifying things have you discovered while cleaning? did they bite you, smell really bad, explode? i want to hear all about it!

ROFL @ you eating that fruit rollup. xD

Well... today is cleaning day at my house.... and yes... there are many horrors.

Old milk cartons with milk in the bottom... that stink up the place... everything on the floor anywhere in the house is covered in thick dust bunnies. x__X Gross.

I only came across one small spider in the kitchen so far! Lucky.. I just left him alone though. He'll get lost eventually. Out of sight out of mind.

Cleaning is scary >.<... when it's at my house.

I only ever clean my room, and havent really found anything really bad i know i get mouldy plates/cups but it makes me lol to see how bad they get XD my mum/dad shouts at me for that, though

other than that, except for dust and cobwebs mine isnt too bad! i HATE spiders and bugs, they make my skin crawwwwlll really bad luckily they dont affect my room much >_<

I remember when I used to have hamsters, my brother's friend lost one in the sofa he was sitting in, but I didn't know about it. The room had a strange, yet horribly foul stench in it, and two months later, when my mom decided to clean the room and lifted the couch up, she discovered this pile of tiny bones and clumps of fur. Good thing I wasn't around to see it (or clean it up, for that matter). :x

When I was younger, we lived in these poorly-maintained apartments. My parents were lifting up the fridge, and I shit you not, a swarm of roaches spread out EVERYwhere. I couldn't go near the fridge for a while after that.

I had a garden spider under my bed that was big, fury and about the size of my palm.
