Took a little road trip today with my boyfriend (Cuddle Bear) and his friend (Biscuit). We ended up stopping at a visitor's center where I discovered a spider in Biscuit's hair. Being enchanted by spiders as I am, I promptly plucked the spider from his hair and continued playing with it for the next minutes. The spider seemed fine at first, but then it became agitated (or I assume from the increase frenzy of its attempts to escape). I was getting tired, so I was willing to let the spider go. As I walked over to place it where I thought it would be safe, the spider made a mad leap from my fingers. I searched and searched until, just as I had given it up for lost, it reappeared floating in the air some distance from my hand. Triumphant that I had not lost it (and thus doomed it to the perilous foot traffic of the floor), I proceeded to place the spider.
"Do you have a spider or something?"
At the unexpected voice, I looked up--the spider still dangling from my hand.
All four of the desk attendants were staring at me--either from around their computer monitors or standing up to see over them.
Awkward.
The spider still dangled from my hand.
Quickly, I flashed a disarming (though slightly embarrassed) smile and explained the situation as I safely deposited the arachnid. One of the attendants complimented me on how kind and calm I was to the spider crawling on me. Should I tell him I am Spider Woman? Neh, I was too embarrassed still. Haha! Anyway, some jokes about "Charlotte" were tossed about, and my friends and I left.
The End.
(I like how rushed that ending is. So...awkward and embarrassed.)
