[Brace] Yourself.

I have many fears. 

Some irrational, 

And some completely rational.

Like for example, I HATE spiders. I don't even like the small ones. Whenever I have one on me, all hell breaks loose. 

I have a funny story to tell you actually. Well, I didn't think it was funny at all, and neither did my next door neighbors.

Just like every other morning when I am getting ready for class, I'm still in bed a half an hour before I need to actually be at school. So usually I'm in a rush to run out the door. Right before I had gotten up, I remember my step mom telling me that there was a huge spider at the front door. With my first assumption, I had thought, "oh theres a spider on the ground near the front door." 

I assumed wrong.

Oh don't act so surprised... I can assume things correctly sometimes.

ok not really, but I can usually work my way out of stupid, yet difficult situations.

This one I walked right into.

Literally.

In a rush to get to school on time, I completely forgot about the spider.

I ran through my front door, AND through the monsters web that had been built right in front of it. 

 I had it's butt strings all over me.

Once realization had kicked in, I let out a blood-curdling scream. It was about 7:50 in the morning, and i'm sure that I woke people up in the next city. I didn't care.

The good thing is, the spider wasn't on me.

 but holy ham he was huge. like his body [I literally just shivered in disgust] was the size of a quarter. BLOODY MASSIVE.

I guess I just forgot to [brace] myself.
