[had_not_lived]

It's been a while since I wrote anything here, probably because I was kidnapped by pirates and they cut off my little finger to keep me from typing up a 'help' message. It's not so bad. You get used to it after a while. I mean, I'm used to feeling a little underequipped because I only have two arms and two legs, but I was raised by tarantulas, so my brothers and sisters always got around a lot better than I did.

One thing you don't get to do, being raised by tarantulas, is travel a lot... And in that department pirates definitely know how to do things. I think if they'd explained the situation to me-- that in exchange for my swabbing the deck and cooking and doing other chores, they'd take me around to see the whole world-- I probably would have gone along with them willingly. Really, there was no reason to raze the town and put Mr. Nolan in irons.

Anyway, I hope you're all doing well, in spite of things. It looks like some people are cursed, which really isn't surprising. I'm glad when I found the fountain of youth, that it took away my ability to be cursed, that's really made life a lot easier since. Take that, Ponce de León.



[EDIT; tarantulas. srsly.]

It must be storytime because while I could believe the pirate part if I was drunk and half-asleep, the tarantula part killed it.

blame RSL for the tarantula thing!

[had_not_lived]

Just because you've never met my tarantula parents, doesn't mean they don't exist.

what does he have to do with tarantulas?

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

Just because I've never met your tarantula parents doesn't mean you're not lying.

ahaha oh god...

[had_not_lived]

Why would I lie about something like that?

[ooc; TARANTULAS!]

SOOOOOB TARANTULAS

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

There's so many reasons I don't even know where to start, Neil.

ISN'T IT AMAZING. i love him.

[had_not_lived]

I know it's unusual, but really, they were very loving.

now i wish my parents were tarantulas. that would have made them cool.

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

Well, as long as they didn't tie you up in a spiderweb as punishment, I can't really hate.

idk you probably wouldn't have eaten very well as a child

[had_not_lived]

No, nothing like that. They were pretty strict, but that would just be silly.

now i need to know how spiders feed their young lol

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

Parent-Teacher meetings were probably disasters.

well don't they eat mostly... insects? xD

[had_not_lived]

Actually Mr. Nolan got along pretty well with my father.

yeah, but do they do it like birds do... you know "that" way lol

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

And what about your mom?

oh the vomiting thing? no idea XD

[had_not_lived]

She always found Mr. Nolan a little stuffy.

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

Somehow I find it interesting that spiders have opinions like that.

[had_not_lived]

Why do you say that?

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

Because I always assumed spiders just ate bugs and spun webs all day. With the exception of Spider-Man, they're boring.

[had_not_lived]

Not when you get to know them! Maybe you've just never given spiders a proper chance, or you haven't met the right ones.

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

I've met Spider-Man and he was spider enough for me. Nice guy, but hey, I don't do bugs on a regular basis.

[had_not_lived]

I don't think I know him. Does he have eight legs?

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

No, only two. Actually, he's pretty human looking, but he sticks to walls and slings webs with the best of them.

[had_not_lived]

Was he raised by spiders, too?

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

I'm going to go with no.

[had_not_lived]

Ah, well. Just curious. Not many people know what it's like, you know?

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you're the only one, Neil.

How long are you going to keep this up?

[had_not_lived]

Ah, well. So how've you been, Kate? I missed you, while I was at sea. That's the worst part of piracy, not being able to talk to your friends at home.

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've been just fine, enjoying life as a landlubber. And I'm sure the scurvy doesn't help either.
