Things my friends put up with, part two.

Sunil: Last night there was a giant spider on my ceiling.
Me: Did it skitter over your face in the night?
Sunil: I HATE YOU.
Sunil: (I considered opening this conversation with, "Seanan, do you promise not to make any characteristically Seanan comments?")
Me: Leg leg leg leg leg leg leg leg...
Me: (That would have been wise, yes.)

I love my friends.

Did I ever tell you the story about when my spider phobia hit its peak?

I was in the bathtub many years ago, back when I had hip-length hair. I felt something prickle on the side of my cheek. Assuming it was my hair, I brushed at it, and it RAN OVER MY MOUTH. I shrieked and clawed at my face, and it bit my cheek and then my hand. I frantically tried to flick it over the side of the tub, but my wild thrashing caused it to land in the water between my breasts, causing me to leap up and have the spider CASCADE DOWN THE LENGTH OF MY NAKED BODY OH GOD.

To make matters worse, it was a quarter-sized brown spider, and my mother had already received a necrotic spider bite that year, so I had to wait a few days to see if my face and dominant hand were going to get oozing sores.

FUN TIMES!
Thankfully, despite this, I don't hate spiders. It's the butterflies that are REALLY out to get me. ;)
