so there has been lots of talk about arachnophobia lately and I thought I did not have a problem with this fear... until today. I was driving home down park persidio singing to one of my favorite bands at the moment when all of the sudden I look down and see this big spider on my arm.
i freaked... it was my initial reaction. I work with bees and other insects and do not fear bugs of any kind but I totally lost it. I flung the spider which landed on the dashboard and started to climb the door jam. I then corrected my course and luckily did not hit any pedestrians or drivers. The spider sort of hid in the crack between my windshield and the trim of my car. I was close to home so I waited to get home to get him out of my car. Yes, I did not kill him. I just sort of flicked him outside. Spiders are good creatures with a bad wrap I do not like to kill them. They eat other bugs. he is safe to strike the fear into another person.

that made me laugh out loud. ps. what you said to me yesterday at church is totally going up on my quote board. and fyi, i kept on sticking things down kristy and kelly's cleavage yesterday.
1) I feel your pain about the spider.
2) Broken Social Scene is amazing! I love them with all my heart.
So...how can you be afraid of a little, toothless spider but still be able to hold tarantula's in your hand? It makes no sense.
PS Loved your talk on Sunday.
that's a really cool spider
you keep forgetting to name the cat.
here is the thing. I knew that the tarantula was there and was not startled by it. Besids... its fuzzy and soft!
