I have spiders

I think everyone has them. I don't usually think about them and since I moved into a new building, I was living in a bubble thinking there were no bugs in here with me. I don't usually mind spiders (or anything with eight legs or less) but this one bothered me. He, and I'm sure it's a he, turned to face me when I got close to him. It seemed like a sign of agression.

I was freaked out a bit because I got so close I could see lots of details like the orange dot on his back and his striped, hairy legs. He had a very recognizable face so I went and did a search online to see if I could identify who my new roommate was.

He's a common black jumping spider and he's not poisonous. I'm glad I checked becasue that night I could see him on the face of my clock as I tried to sleep. I'd have been up all night if I thought he could take me down.

I haven't seen him in a few days. I hope he's alright.
