The Great Bug Mystery

I've been trying to figure out the name of this one insect and it's buggin' me (please excuse the pun) that I don't know the name of it. It's brown and kind of thin and has lots of legs that look more like hairs on it's side and feelers and is usually foudn crawling along the walls. I know it's not a cockroach or beetle and it's not a silverfish or centipede/millipede, but I don't know what it's called. I hate bugs, but I want to know what this one is called. Does anyone have any ideas?

Excuse the late replie here but it sound's like an earwig it's the only bug I can think of that maches what you've said.

Thanks for trying but I checked Google and I don't think it's an earwig. I'm kind of glad too because aren't earwigs those bugs that can crawl into your ear and wrap itself around your brain? Or is that just an urban legend? I get confused easily, so I really don't know. ^^;;

Ah, so it was an urban legend after all. I just heard about it somewhere, so I didn't know how true it was. Thanks for clearing that up. I feel like an idiot now.
