Cuz right now, i feel like a cockroach about to be squashed by someones shoe and definitely when i go to her house today. What do I do?

Sorry this is so late, I see 3 days have passed and I hope you're feeling better now. Sometimes people do things without thinking about the consequences, as you have so painfully discovered.
She is upset with you because you had phone sex with someone else? I'd probably want to smack you too, but I probably wouldn't go public with that on facebook. See, she's hurt and angry still and is working through her feelings, just as you are doing.
You both are growing up and I see that you both have a lot of maturing still to do.
My advice to you is to acknowledge that you made some mistakes, figure out what lessons you have learned from them, and then do your very best not to do things without giving them some thought first. Just try to imagine what the consequences might be if you do x or y. It's "think before you speak" only swap "act" for "speak".
When you do talk with your girlfriend, remember that you both are human, you both make mistakes and you both deserve some forgiveness. So try to really LISTEN to her and choose your own words carefully, so that you get your point across without being mean. Okay?
Good luck.
