Bathroom Scare



So last night around 10 or so I felt nature calling, and appropriately went to the bathroom to answer said call. So I get in there, start doing what needed to be done, look up at the wall above the toilet and there was a lizard on the wall. Absolutely scared the crap out of me, and I freaked out and did the whole pin my back against  the corner of the room and look at the lizard with terror. You've probably seen that look in a variety of horror films of lore. So after my dramatic pose I ran out of the bathroom as fast as I could back into my room, probably covered in a cold sweat; I'm not sure as the overwhelming waves of terror that were washing over me.

And I'm not joking either, I was freaking out. Like a fly landed on my desk next to me when I ran back in my room, I jumped backwards out of my chair and fell to the floor.  You're probably thinking I'm a baby and that the lizard is "sooo cute" but I didn't. For all I know it could have been one of the most poisonous lizards in the world. Animals are douchebags like that in Australia. You think they're all cute and stuff and you want to touch them, and then the next thing you know you've been in a coma for the last 2 weeks. I wasn't messing around with it but I know I wanted it out of my bathroom.

The first thing I discovered was that this thing was fast. So first attempts at trying to catch it in my trash can were unsuccessful; it was very fast and hard to catch, and when I did catch it, I couldn't see it I couldn't get the lizard to fall into it. After much frustration and knee-buckling fear, I ended up catching the demon reptile in my wire mesh hamper, and after it's hilariously futile attempts to climb out of it, I got it outside to let it terrorize  someone else, or poison someone's dog if it decided to roll that way. Either way it was out of my bathroom and I could finish what that hell spawn rudely interrupted.
