Oogy.
May 4th, 2006The other night I got attacked by a mosquito in my bedroom. I felt all itchy and oogy all night.
The next day I was in a friend’s car and there was a mosquito flying around inside. We both kind of freaked out. I felt all itchy and oogy and like bugs were crawling on me the whole evening.
That night I got in bed, I turned off all the lights, and opened my laptop to catch up on e-mail. I thought to myself, “God I still feel so itchy and oogy and like bugs are crawling on me.”
And then a giant spider DROPPED OUT OF NOWHERE FROM ABOVE ONTO MY KEYBOARD.
It even made an audible “thwap!” sound as it landed.
OMG.
I have never moved so fast.
I slammed the laptop shut and leaped out of bed and turned on all the lights. I got some tissue and opened the computer, scooped up the offender, and flushed him. Then I went back to my room. Shaken. Oogy. Itchy.
And there was a huge mosquito hawk on my lamp.
I think it was laughing at me.
Help.
Mosquito hawks would be tollerable if they actually did what their mosquito-eating name implies, but I’m told they don’t really eat skeeters.
So what freakin’ good are they? Spiders do a job, so they get to be carefully scooped up on a peice of paper and taken outside. Mosquito hawks just fly around your lamp casting pteradactyl shadows across the room while you’re trying to understand this G.D. precalculus material so you don’t fail the final.
Great. Now I feel all itchy. And oogy. :/
