Never thought I'd see the day
 

I'm watching the Animal Planet, a documentary about tarantulas. I am horribly afraid of spiders, but holy crap, I actually think baby tarantulas are cute. They're so fragile and kind of playful. I had a friend back in high school that had a tarantula as a pet and I never got how he could like the thing. But maybe there is something to it. I'm not about to run out and get one, but I kinda understand it now.

Anyone else ever find themselves liking something they never in a million years thought that they would?

probably different types of music, when i was a kid i told myself "ill only listen to rap music forever". as i grew, so did my taste in tunes. thats all i can remember..

on a tarantula note, i used to own two of them. they were wild ones, so i never held them. shoot, even if they were the tamest in the world and drugged with no fangs i still wouldnt pick them up. i hate spider, just two days ago i found another brown recluse in my bed. its dead now.......i remember feeding my arachnids lizard i would catch, now that i think about it i feel sorry for them.

Yah, my friend that had the tarantula used to hold it and let other people hold it too. Surprisingly, no one ever got bit. He tried to get me to at least put my hand on the floor and let it crawl over my hand. The thing got about 2 inches away and I quietly moved my hand away, no thanks, I'll pass. *shudder*

Tarantulas are sexy.

LOL, Dante, you're so off the wall. But that's why we love ya. :p :D

I used to hate coffee, the taste of it just made me sick. Then when i got older i started drinking it black, now i cant go a day without it.

I had a horrible fear of sharks once, but then I watched a documentary on them and how they got a bad reputation after Jaws came out. Now I realize they are just big fish and I actually quite like them.

ditto on the coffee - i used to think it was vile and now i can't make it through a day without a few pots of the stuff


oddly, i also recall that when i was young i loved pickles- now they make me wretch

Veggies. I refused to eat them for too long. Now I realize that you need them for your health's sake.

ew spiders...I don't care how big or small they are...ick! One time I was at work sitting down drinking some coffee and all of a sudden I felt something on my eye lid so I wiped it and come to find out.. THERE WAS A FREAKING SPIDER ON MY FACE! Omg... must have fell from the ceiling... ahhh I was traumatized! spiders are scary as hell!...

then this one was living in my air conditioner!
