the fear of all things creepy-crawly

I just realized that today is Friday the 13th.

Not that I really believe in any of that bad luck mumbo-jumbo, but it's been a particularly freaky day for me today. (Aw, you saw the allusion to the Disney movie. Good for you.)

ANYWAY, I was driving to work this morning (Why I am STILL going to work even though it's my 5th sick day straight escapes me - even the bosses are telling me to stay home. Mommy2 even gave me antibiotics. She's so nice.) when I notice something moving on my windshield. "Oh, it's just a spider," I say. AND THEN I FRIGGIN' REALIZE THAT THE SPIDER IS INSIDE THE CAR. Waaaaah!!! Well, that COMPLETELY changes the story.

Bugs. I HATE bugs! One, they're scary and gross-looking. And their many, many legs. Ugh. Shivers down my spine. Ewww ewww ewww. Spiders aren't so bad though... It's really roaches that I'm afraid of... But I also saw Spiderman on HBO last night, so... My imagination was going wild.

Not only was I swerving in a busy intersection, my window was down and I was trying to swat the itty-bitty spider outside using my tissue box. Yes, it was dangerous. I swear though if the spider had crawled up my skin it would've been worse. Thank God I was able to send it out the window. Whew.

In other non bug-related news, everyone's really getting on my case about my choice of outfit. In their words, I look like a tomboy highschool kid. Or, in Filipino, "tibo na highschool."

Fine. The first time in ages I decide to come in comfy clothes and dress like a college kid, everyone makes fun of me. :P Hahaha. I DO have an excuse. I'm sick. Oh, well. I guess I'll just have to make up for it on Monday. Watch out, world! I'm going back to my girlie-girlness come next week. Ha!
