I just needed somewhere to rant and rave about how annoyed I feel at the moment. So feel free just to ignore this and carry on with your life.
The thing is when people start shouting and yelling I get upset, I just cannot cope with it. I begin thinking about self-harm and more often than not I do, the only reason I haven't done so is because I'm writing this and hopefully the urge will have passed by the time I'm finished here. At the moment my mum seems intent on yelling about everything at the top of her voice, now I can understand why, she is getting stressed about things and so that is her way of dealing with it. The problem is that we live in a bungalow with thin walls and I have good hearing, so it just feels like there is no escape from it, and I am almost tempted to go outside for a while just to get away from the noise. I hate when things change or peoples temperament change, I just can't cope with it. I have always become unsettled when things change or a routine is broken and it ends up really upsetting me, and I know that is stupid, I am nearly 25 I should be able to cope with people having raised voices or closing my curtains at night and yet I can't. For the last week or so I have been sleeping properly and then the other night I realised that I would have to shut my curtains as it might stop all the little flies coming into my room, and as soon as I did this my sleep pattern goes awry and why? Because I shut my curtains, I changed the routine and the environment and it unsettled me. And nothing affects me more than power cuts, especially at night, I really begin to freak out and nothing can calm me down.
So I went outside after writing that and even though it was raining slightly it was nice and quiet out there so that calmed me down a little, and when I came back inside I thought I'd try out a little experiment. As I said I've been having trouble sleeping since I started to close my curtains at night, and I wondered if the problem stemmed not from the actual closing of the curtains but the fact that they are not my usual ones. You see the ones I had on were a pale pink with hearts on and my normal ones are blue with yellow flowers and so I decided to change them, and I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens over the next few days. But whilst I was changing my curtains I finally decided to hover round the top of my walls and now all those spiders are trapped within the hover, and my walls aren't covered in spider webs any more, which may or may not be a good thing, it depends upon how many of those little flies attempt to get into my room tonight. But I suppose I could stop them if I actually turned my lights off at night, but that doesn't really appeal to me that much, considering I hate the dark, well I hate it being dark inside I don't mind being outside in the pitch dark it's just when I am trying to get to sleep that it bothers me.
Anyway, I am now going to find something to watch on TV and try to fight the little niggling urge to self-harm that still remains.

Spider Update
After the successful meeting held earlier the spiders wish to update some of the information that is available. Certain rooms have now achieved their capacity and no new spiders are being allowed in, but in contrast to that Fizzgigs room is now open to new applicants for housing since the food supply is so plentiful at the moment. Due to this more families with children are now moving in, but a warning has to be given to the parents as the children seem to have a tendency to crawl over Fizzgigs bed at odd hours of the day, and although this may not seem too bad many of these children are being killed and many parents are struggling with the loss of numerous children. So a campaign has been set up to raise awareness of this problem and all parents and potential parents are advised to attend the meetings that are being held over the next few weeks about this problem and a focus group is also being set up to find a solution to the problem. (If any spider is interested in joining the focus group or receiving more information about it then they should write to Aloysius Spider, 3 Rooftop Way, Fizzgigs Room).
Unfortunately due to the demise of Euphemia the spider-catcher forum has been temporarily suspended until a new chairspider can be found. The advice to all spiders who find themselves captured is to wait outside the window and one of the rescue spiders will be there within the hour to escorting them home. Alongside this the new "sitting room bridge" is nearing completion and it is hoped that a member of the royal family will be present at the opening at the beginning of November, although at the moment it has not been confirmed which member Ms Georgette Spider, organiser of the opening, is sure that the royal family will not let her down by sending one of the younger members of the family. So please do not be worried about a reprisal by Prince Cecilio's whose behaviour at the grand opening of the new pathway between the garage and the bedrooms, some older members of society still feel unable to talk about. (But on a positive note Bertina has now been released from hospital, although she is still unable to mutter anything more than "frinky, franky". But as the doctors can find no reason for this, and are unable to treat her any further home rest is thought to be the best option)
As a final note the board wishes to intimate that the nominations for Mayor have closed and the three nominees, Mr Phelan, Ms Floriana and Mrs Maira, will be campaigning for the next three weeks. And the first debate will take place at 7pm on Friday the 19th in the dining room, if you are going to attend please make sure you arrive in plenty of time, as latecomers will not be admitted. If you have not already registered to vote then please make sure that you contact Mr Irvin before the end of this week, as if it is left any later than that it cannot be guaranteed that your voting card will arrive in time.
If there are anymore concerns which have not been raised, and you feel should be then could you please contact Mr Berke, 17 Hippo Road, Airing Cupboard, and he will make sure that they are included within the next update.

Spiders
The general spiders meeting is being held in my house tonight, this is the most important one of the year as it's where they decide which rooms they wish to inhabit for the next few months and who they want to scare in the middle of the night.
Unfortunately two of them have encountered problems, and can't attend due to the fact that one is stuck in the bathtub and isn't getting far and the other is stuck in the sink. Although the one in the sink is trying to escape, it only thinks to do so when the water is running and so more often than not it ends up having to run round the sink in a demented way to escape from the drain (even though it is almost too big to actually fit down the drain)
One spider which was making his way to the conference came upon unexpected problems when crossing a room as he was caught in a spider-catcher and removed from the premises, he expects to be back in the house within a few days though. He was very co-operative when he was asked to leave, as rather than running away he opted to stay still and then climb into the spider-catcher, although he may have thought that this was the transport being provided to him rather than anything else.
Apart from these unavailable spiders the meeting was a success and the general consensus was that my bedroom should be the place where they will hide for the rest of the year, with some opting for the more old fashioned approach of lurking in dark corners before jumping out and running straight towards their intended victim. Although some spiders find that this works even better if they only move and run at the person when they (the person that is, not the spiders although they have been working on a campaign to be able to work light switches) turn the lights on.
The spiders also decided that in the long run a more spaced out campaign is worthwhile this year, since they have all been working out and are now much faster and bigger than they have been in previous years. They also wish to wage a campaign over the spider-catcher and have already begun the process by intentionally becoming larger than it and also using the tried and tested method of reaching out as far as possible, before clinging onto the rim of the device so that they cannot be properly caught. This works best if the person wielding the catcher is phobic, although it does cause some annoyance for others.
Within the meeting one spider did raise the matter of the brother who, more often than not, would kill whatever spider he found rather than releasing them back outside. To combat this problem they have decided to ignore that particular room within the house, even though this would mean that they were losing out on prime real-estate. But to make up for this dramatic loss in housing they were looking into branching out further into other bedrooms, and possibly resuming the habit of crawling round the top of the room during the middle of the night. Some spiders did suggest the idea of returning to the 'good old days' when they were often found crawling across the actual bed, but on the whole this idea was knocked back, simply because the bed no longer consisted of a mattress on the floor. Although this does not prevent certain spiders from pursuing this course of action, especially if they have been removed from the house in the spider-catcher and have had to suffer the cold outdoors for a few days.
As a final note to their meeting before they dispersed throughout the house, the spiders wished to thank certain members of the public who have made their lives slightly easier, mainly the builders who put in air vents into the roof, allowing them fresh access into this previously unexplored area. As we speak certain intrepid explorers are already investigating and mapping the area to see what is available to them, although there has been some problems with the natives but hopefully the acts of cannibalism will stop once a common language has been found. The second member of the public that the spiders must thank is the man who fixed the front doorstep of the house, as this makes walking into the front of the house much easier, as they no longer have to contend with the gaping hole that existed. Although they are sorry about the loss of jobs that this fix has meant and are hoping that soon these highly skilled workers will get new employment, especially if the plans for a bridge back into the house through the front window comes to fruition.
The spiders have now dispersed (except for those in the bathroom, they have been forced to wait until they are removed and released back outside) to their new homes and are settling in well, and are looking forward to spending the coming months scaring the living daylights out of certain people.
