Suicidal Spider

So there I was..

Cooking bacon for BLT's, minding my own business. Then, out of no where, something...or someone...dive bombs it into my sizzlin' bacon grease, Kamikaze style!
"What species would be so foolish as to jump into a pool of piping hot bacon grease?" I thought. A closer look revealed it to be a small spider. This small spider must've had spirit, though. Was it a dare that caused this brave soul to plummet to its death?? Or was it the end of a tragic love scene?? Perhaps it felt no one cared. Whatever the reason, this spider is now crispier than my bacon!


(Some legs got detached when I rearranged it for a better view.)

I had no idea...

I really didn't. I had just heard from a few people about the books and innocently put my name on the waiting list at the library for all three. Finished them in about two weeks. Yea, they were great! But I had no idea how big her following was!! Just the sheer number of fan sites is amazing. She's HUGE to say the least. With #4 coming in August and the movie coming in Dec., I hope this quick rise to fame isn't short lived, for her sake. Bigger than Harry Potter??? That's quite a statement.
