I always want to be a good person and to help those in need, even the little guys. So when I rescued a drowning fly yesterday I was quite proud of myself and was sure the fly was thanking me as he flew away.

Just now I went into a room upstairs and noticed a small moth at the window, trying to break through the glass. So I stepped up, Machie the hero for the little guys. I opened the window and blew gently on the moth to encourage him towards his freedom. Success! He was outside and flying into the sky. He was no longer a prisoner trapped in this room, I had once again saved the day!

Or so I thought. Not long after winning his freedom he flew down onto a fence and got caught in a spiders web. "Damnit!" and before I could attempt a second rescue, a spider leapt on the moth and ended its life. 0_0 By the time I got down the stairs and into the drive way the spider was already spinning the moth up ready for its dinner.

Next time I won't bother.

I did the opposite; there was this massive brown spider (with mean looking pincers), but it was late, and I couldn’t be bothered going downstairs to let it free so I flushed it down the toilet. A little while later I went for a piddle and it was still there drowning.

A second flush got rid of it.

oh well, it was destined to die. Either by machies hands or by someone else. I seem to find a lot of moths and spiders entering my home and frankly i'm almost prepared to declare all out war.

It was amazing how quickly it all happened. It reminded me of this scene from Azumanga. I had the same shocked face aswell.

Hmm i'm always doing stuff like this and then invariably i'm reminded that it's pointless.

It probably isn't pointless but I don't really care anyway.

Ah, so you're a fan of azumanga daioh eh? one of my fav anime shows. Especially incredible when its immensely girly stuff, but the humour is fantastic.

Yep, I'm the resident anime/manga fan, the only fan of the forum unfortunately. :( Azumanga is great, It's a good one to recommend people who arent too keen on anime, even though it is about 5 teenage school girls ;) Osaka and Miss Yukari are my favourite characters.
