The Crawl

Sep 04, 2003 11:47

As most long-term readers know, I have two official roommates. If I'm RM1, RM2 is Pussy Willow, who used to write on this very blog before she decided to devote her full attention to the oral satisfaction of freight-hopping vagabonds. RM3 has only been referred to here as Heroic Third Roommate for last summer's triumph over vermin, realized with ( Read more... )

I've forgotten a week's worth of incisive and on-point comments but the really important thing is that, like a talk show audience member, I finally get to have my say.

Brains!

What she said. I have so much to tell you! All of it lost in the kaleidescopic haze that is my mind! But speak I must!

I feel better now.

and here i thought you were an automaton, Robin. a machine without feelings.

see, this is kinda convenient, what with the different possible comment threads and all.

hah claudelemonde September 4 2003, 09:34:14 UTC

is it a millipede? we get fist-sized ones here that freak even the dog out. they are sort of tumbleweedy, too, what with their inch-long legs fluttering hither, thither, etc.

in other news, do you feel better, now that the comforting pap of comments is back in your needy, needy jaws?

millipede, no universaldonor September 4 2003, 09:37:20 UTC

I do feel better, much better. Oh God I missed you people.

It is not a millipede. It was fast and it had mass. It might have been a hybrid roach/mouse.

Re: millipede, no claudelemonde September 4 2003, 09:47:44 UTC

Are you sure--sure? The centi/millipedes we get here aren't your smooth, glossy pests of yore. no: they are horrifying, huge, and skittery, moving at incredible speeds....and they seem to come out in fall. Here is what they look like (i have had one in my apartment that was a full five inches long and is the ONLY pest i have EVER encountered--this includes the five-pound rat that once visited my kitchen, folks--that geniunely freaked me out). I apologise preëmptively for its grossness.

Mmmmm, pap. Sweet and soothing, yet also so benign. I'm here for you, UD. And since I'm one of the first five, does that mean I get a free t-shirt?

Godahlmahty, I was getting twitchy. Thank goodness. Claudia, that was horrific. Ech. All freaky things should ska, it would make life so much more enjoyable.

Flutter, scurry, looks a little furry and has mass. That's a fucking bat, friends. I saw one only three weeks ago, attending a wedding in an old building. Fucking thing was right under the chair of a guest. Fareeked me out.

We used to get bats in the house I grew up in. They'd fly out of the chimney while we were all sitting around, watching Roseanne, and my usually preternaturally composed mother (upon dropping me off at college for the first time: "just don't start crying, or anything") would shriek like her face was on fire and lock herself in the bathroom, my father would run around in circles yelling, my older sisters would grab tennis rackets and gleefully beat it to death, and I would sit there crying because we thought that, minus the wings, they were kind of cute.
I was that kid who really couldn't kill a fly, and secretely kept a pet garden spider in a make-shift terrarium made from a coffee can, holding an elaborate funeral for it when it died.
I dunno, bugs don't both me that much unless they're actively stinging me.

Re: ZP anonymous September 4 2003, 13:45:40 UTC

We used to spend time out in the country with friends of my parents. They played this game with tennis rackets and bats. The first time I saw them start up the process, I was so fucking mad I hit the older brother in the face with the racket they gave me. I broke his nose.

Good for you! I, on the other hand, got a stern lecture about how some animals have disease, and while it's not neccessarily a GOOD thing to kill them, sometimes it's neccessary, blah blah blah blah blah. Dude, you can get the bat outside, you know?
My sisters and their unquenchable bloodlust. It was only a matter of time before Stacy started eating babies.
