well last night i suddenly woke up and sat straight up. in my left hand i was holding something that felt like a brittle leaf or bark chip. i had no idea how i managed to grab this object before suddenly bolting upright for an unexplained reason so i rolled it around my fingers to figure out what it was. my senses were still comming to me so i wasn't thinking too clearly when i decided to do this. by the time i realized it might be a bug i had already rolled it between my thumb and index finger for a good 10 seconds. upon realizing it might be a bug i freaked out, jumped out of bed and threw the bloody thing down. i went to turn on the light and when i came back to look and see what it was i saw this...

it was 3-4 centimeters long and missing several legs from me rolling it around. it was still alive so i grabbed some tissues and squished the fucker. it bled purple which i had never seen before.
two things struck me as odd about this. normally you find these things outside under rocks or in woodpiles, wtf was it doing in my room, in MY bed?! secondly, how did i manage to grab it and sit up before waking up?
