There is a corner of my room I don't go near. Geographically, it is located the farthest from my head when I sleep; it feels foreign to me. I won't even dust there, though dust is my mortal enemy, because it is dark and quiet and undisturbed, and a perfect spot for spiders. I know they're there, skittering their macabre ballets in the dust. Don't think I'm overly paranoid and imagining things; one showed its spindly legs just the other day, lurking on the wall until the cover of darkness hid its shape. I sat there looking at it for a time, delighted that I didn't panic, feeling the breath whisper in and out of my lungs quite steadily and normally. Once I realized what I was doing, I left the spider to its own devices and quit my room, certain that where one is, more will come.
Arachnophobia will kill me... curses on you, JJ.
hello from gaithersburg ,30 computers ,the out of order signs are in 6 languages
ReplyDeleteHahaha, really? Do you know what languages they chose?
ReplyDeletethere are about 20 languages on the welcome sign.symbols unknown to me. no ABCetc.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I told you Arachnophobia was a bad idea...but noooo. Had to go and make that deal, didn't you? I don't think this is going to end well for you. But, we'll, uh, do something so you don't die of fright. I'm working on a gameplan.
ReplyDeleteMy gameplan is to de-wimpify myself. Progress has already been made. Okay, that might be a lie, but at least I have a plan in place.
ReplyDeleteIf that fails, then I don't know WHAT to do. It's not like I can just break a promise; I'm all about the whole loyalty thing. Oh, well, it should be a fun time at least.
P.S. That was Mark on my wall, btw. He's gotten bigger.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can pretend like Mark is Charlotte from Charlotte's Web.... but then there's a pig in your room, lol.
