Random creatures

[vvvexation]

Somebody over on metaquotes speculated that reincarnation works completely at random--like, you just wind up in whatever body is available at the moment. For some reason, I like that better than the idea of karma. Obviates the need for a purpose or an end or anything.

In completely unrelated news, there's a daddy-long-legs or some very similar sort of spider hanging out in a corner of my bedroom, hunched over a trussed-up bundle that looks for all the world like...another spider. One of the medium-sized, crawly kind. I had no idea different species of spider actually preyed on each other. For some reason I'm obscurely happy; while I don't much care for either kind of spider, I find the spindly ones less threatening somehow and thus am pleased at this one's triumph over one of the scary ones. Then again, if I knew which kind it is that keeps biting me in my sleep, I might have to revise that opinion.

It's unlikely to be a daddy-long-legs biting you in your sleep. They're not all that fond of truly confined places like bedsheets and blankets, and I've been told (although never confirmed) that they don't have the right gear to bite through human skin.

Regarding the unrelated news, I'm really surprised you're putting that info where deyo can see it. ;)
