Ooh, ouch! I would imagine that would hurt like hell, too. Spiders are creepy, yes. Had a few of them making their webs right in the house not too long ago:/ How the heck are these things getting in here?
I was always pretty good with the numbers, and I always liked math, science, and computer classes. Didn't care for the books we had to read for English, though... fiction is not really my thing (and yes I realize the irony of saying this while writing a Pokemon story but I'm motivated by something else here... a great injustice done to a certain cute Pokemon trainer in HG/SS and later B2/W2.) My reading preferences as a kid were... not normal, needless to say :P Hotel location directories, IRS tax documents, and books on how to overhaul a Chevy truck are not what most 8 year olds read xD
Yup, just keep looking :P I even found one to satisfy my taste for intense car chases and gunfighting action xD
The parents are going to MA. I'm going to the nearest "big" city, Rochester, NY where I'll be hanging out at the mall, getting decent meals for a change, and staying at the Quality Inn. Who knows, I might even get out to a Halloween party the night before :)
