Someone please tell me what these are! I see them all the time running on my bed when I'm trying to sleep and I just saw another one dash under my desk out of the corner of my eye. I am deathly afraid of spiders and when this thing crawls across me or near me I freak out and now I can't sleep sitting here waiting. Can't seem to ever pin it down online and I swear it looks like a recluse but I'm in Nor Cal and that doesn't seem right. I think it's a "common house spider", male, but try googling that and you keep getting hobos and recluses and widely different looking ones than the ones i keep seeing every like half hour.

took this with my droid, got pretty close and Ive been looking for another one to take a pic of but they match my carpet color
