The bane of my existence

The bane of my existence is the domestic lizard. My immense fear and unexplainable and perpetual disgust for the domestic house lizard is largely due to a movie I once watched when I was much younger, Parent Trap. In the movie, the two children (played by Lindsay Lohan in her more innocent days) stuffed a lizard down the evil step mother's throat and it literally was in her mouth and that would have been my very first disgusting experience with lizards. Before that however, I rarely took notice of them except the fact that they lived on walls and had long tongues to eat bugs.

Everything from the colours (from pale brown to the more uglier types with patterns) to the beady eyes to the little hands and feet and the super horrible fact that they can shed their tails (which means drop it ON YOU and leave it to WRIGGLE to your absolute horror) is absolutely offputting to me, so much so that I have had to resort to some very barbaric methods to ensure they don't bug me especially when I'm asleep and in a very vulnerable state! From spraying many many cans of Ridsect's Anti Lizard spray all over the windows of my room (Instruction was to spray on surfaces, I just SPRAYED EVERYWHERE and I have yet to see it work) and taping up the gaps on the windows and some odd holes on the ceiling to deploying lizard traps that successfully glue them onto a sticky surface although I once dreamt that they all came back and gathered at my feet to send me to my own death.

I once woke up, opened my eyes and saw a lizard on the ceiling. Up to this day I don't know if I was dreaming because I immediately sprang up and ran out of the room screaming. I came back and it was MISSING so I don't know if I just dreamt it or what, but nevertheless, I ductapped the little hole on the ceiling :( And till today, I've not seen the bloody thing so thank god. Then just a few moments ago, I heard some odd rustling on my window! And when I went out to check, lo and behold, A GIANT LIZARD. It was probably 6 inches long and it was huge and thick and chunky!!!!!!!!!! I ran off to get the shieldtox but by the time I got back it disappeared :( SIGH. Now I'm gonna worry.

SO YES I ABSOLUTELY HATE LIZARDS. And yes you have to know!!!! Don't mess with me with those fake lizards and all, I'll SPRAY YOU to your death.
