My encounter with a milipede

so ive gotten a little to friendly with a lot of gross animals here *tranatulas, cockroaches big enough to put a leash on and take for a walk, dominican bread rabid street dog* but this encounter takes the cake.
Setting- the final day of new years vacation in cabarate, a beautiful resort town on the northern coast. total tourist town (think of breakenridge carribean style with awesome surf). my friends and i stay in the most beautiful set of bungalows surrounding an awsome pool and bar.
The encounter- im finally trying to catch up on my sleep after several days of celebration- dancing into the wee hours and waking up rediculously early. Sleeping in a bed with a friend emily when all of a sudden 5:30 am. drowsy me is disturbed from slumber. feel a little something round my face do the slight brush. feel a little poke on my neck, more awake alert me sees a hair clip in the bed and thinks that thats what poked me and throws it to the night stand when all of a sudden- NEEDLE JABING into my neck. I jump out of bed and watch a black thing slither down the side of the bed and stop. i think im half imagining things. at this point ive woken up my friend jill in the fellow bed and scream for her to give me her cellphone with a light on it. i shine the light and watch a large milipede slide under the covers. I scream, wake everyone up. emily hops out of bed- jill flicks on the light and emily shakes out the covers where we discover not one but 2 milipedes that had been keeping us warm durning the evening.

Ahora-
kinda creeped out but whatever i survived. my neck is sore but that might be from a number of things- swimmin, dancing a ton, not getting much sleep, beach volleyball, trying my first cuban cigar, drinking amazing mixed drinks, eating amazing irish pub food, laughing to much, lying on a beautiful beach- (not to make you jealous or anything. ok whatever i was). felt american, 22 years old, and on vacation in the caribean with friends for the first time in a long time.
they say the 1st month at site is the toughest and its all uphill from there. my first month had some definate challenges and this vacation was needed.
