Gregor

In other, unrelated news, there is a many legged insect of some kind that is currently residing on my wall, past the point where I can reach, and just above my bed.

I think this is about the most uncool news I've had in a very long time. 

I would give him 24 hours to vacate the premises, but since he is above both the point where I can realistically reach and my bed, jumping and trying to kill him seems like a very foolhardy plan.  In fact, that seems like the way to end up with a many legged insect (1) in my hair, (2) down my shirt, or (3) hiding maliciously in my bed.  Since I really dislike all of these options, I am forced to leave him where he sits, though I do tell him every time I look up at him that I do not like him and it would be better for both of us if he found another corner in another apartment to hide in. 

Even though I have no furniture and am mostly alone, a buggy friend is not one I wish to have.

I think he may be the same many legged insect that ran across my floor the other day.  I did not like him any more then than I do now and I am going to be very distressed if he continues to reside in his current spot. 

I will call him Gregor, but only because it takes too many syllables to say, "damn you, many legged insect!"  Not being an insect expert, I can't identify him and, even if I could, it would probably be a word with a lot of syllables, too.  Though I do find the name Gregor somewhat humorous, I would not find it at all humorous if it turned out that Gregor was a member of the human-turned bug variety.  I have walked naked past him too many times for that to be a comforting thought. 

I don't like bugs with too many legs, like this one, but I also dislike ones that can fly, particularly when they fly haphazardly and don't seem to have much motor control.  The thought of them flying into me, and then walking over me with their creepy little legs give me the heebie jeebies.

I believe he is a centipede of some kind.  His presence is making me very unhappy, and I just thought you needed to know.

Gregor, you have to go.
