Alright, take a deep breath, relax. Better now? I had the same problem when I first started trying to do anything to my car, and it is definitely a pain in the ass to get to that filter in the first place.
There are oil filter wrenches readily available at pep boys, or autozone or whatever. You just have to go in and ask them what size you need for you car, and you should be able to find it with no problem. (or if it is easier for you, just go to the Honda dealer and they'll sell you a filter wrench as well, for alot more money that is.)
Finally, a couple tips. When you get the filter wrench, dont get cheap, buy the ones that attach to a ratchet (they look like little dishes, perfectly molded for the top of the oil filter.) There are cheap strap looking wrenches that do not work for shit. Trust me, dont even spend money on those, if you cant find the right one, look somewhere else.
Another important thing, whenever you work on your car, doing whatever you are doing....ALWAYS leave yourself plenty of time to get it done right the first time. If you are just starting out, and dont know alot yet, leave yourself an extra day even of downtime where you won't need to have the car running. This is just in case something goes wrong (which it always does) you dont have to rush to get it fixed with half assed solutions.
Hope things work out, and please do not drive that car with a hole in the oil filter!!!!
