a trauma and a shower

{me with a non-scary bug}

 I just returned home from a wonderful date. Walked right up to my doorway and right through a spider web that covered THE ENTIRE ALCOVE ENTRANCE. Freaking out, I turned and ran back to the street, back through the web! I looked up to see the hugest bulbous spider ever swinging on his web RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE, scrambling up his thread. My fantastic roommate Paddy came out to find me screaming and twirling around, trying to get web silk the size of sewing thread off of me. He very kindly got it off my glasses for me.

A very different kind of horror happened while taking an exceedingly hot shower straight after this. Not only was I pulling wet spider web out of my hair, but I was also pulling it off from around my nose ring.

Reasons I miss my home country.
