Oselle, some sympathy?

So on Tuesday night Rebecca and I were engaged in ( An Epic Battle Against a Roach )

That was a great story, though you still managed to create sympathy for the roach by calling it "him" and giving it a spunky, ambitious personality.

I love the part where he was riding the futon pillow "like a pharaoh", and the part where he was flying "with gusto".

He was a very ambitious cockroach. But that's no excuse. He can be ambitious in the afterlife now.

Much to his dismay, I'm sure, Rebecca pulled the pillow out with him still riding on it like a pharoah. (If his death hadn't been imminent I'm sure he would have loved it.)

Classic. Great story! Although, I'm quivering just thinking about experiencing such an intense roach encounter.

Move over Kafka--Jacinda Baggins has got you beat in the roach tale department!

The drama! The suspense! A masterful tale to be sure!

I loved it! :D

I can't stop laughing. I'm laughing in that it-may-sound-like-I'm-sobbing-and-you-may-want-to-check-up-on-me-but-really-I'm-okay-I'm-just-laughing way, and it's great. If I had heard it in person, there's no doubt that I would have fallen off of my chair and started hyperventilating.

Girl, you are incredible. And I've had a similar experience, which my roommate Heidi witnessed, though she only laughed as I screamed "DIE DIE DIE" while impaling a little black spider with something I picked up in the hallway. However, I'm being haunted, because her lover came for vengeance, and I had to decapitate him on the carpet right outside my door. Hopefully there are no other relatives, 'cause my heart can't handle any more stress like that.

But wow. You fought a flying cockroach and won. I applaude your valor.
