A Snake Lunged at Me Inches From My Face! Yikes.

This is the snake that was inches from my face!

So I'm staying at my friends cabina for the next couple of weeks and last night i was washing fruit in the sink, when I saw something move right near my face, sort of lunging at me, and I jumped back, shakingly got a candle (its dark in here), and saw that it was a snake!!!!!!!!! My ultimate biggest fear in the universe. Inches from my face almost at eye level with me bending over to wash the fruit.. It was small (like only 2.5 feet), but still in the shape of a snake. It was brown with patterns, so I think it was a baby boa constrictor, not too dangerous for me, but I'm sure he was threatening me because I was too close. 

I know people will write things like "oh how cute" or "I love snakes", but I'll tell you right now that I don't get it. I love all animals, but there is something about the shape and movements of snakes that I cannot get past. They just creep me right out. Let's just agree to disagree I didn't want to take my eyes off of him in case he decided to go hide somewhere else in the place. I screamed and Selena ran to get the guys next door, who came and removed it, laughing at my reaction to it. ik. They had a machete, and I said "well don't kill him!", but they just used the flat edge to hold him down a little to be able to pick him up and move him out. Even though I don't like the sight of snakes I certainly don't want to kill them either. Something so strange happened to me- I almost passed out, dizzy and feeling faint. It took me a very long time to return to normal. 

When I was little I went to reach for my front door and a whole family of snakes slithered over my bare feet!! My mother thought I was being murdered by the sounds I made. My relationship with snakes has never been great. They are just so alien to me, no arms or legs, big sharp teeth and they attack you with their face! It's insane.

Earlier me, Selena and Simone were at Nicole's full moon ceremony, where she talked about shedding our old skin like snakes and being reborn. We shone some light on the darkest parts of our past, wrote them down and burned them. Very powerful full moon

I had Milo (my dog friend), sleep next to me all night
Hope you are all having an exciting full moon yourselves!

ps. this isn't a great photo of him because it was dark and I was shaking!
