Insectual Encounters
Ugh, sometimes I hate college.
Today I woke up, stumbled to the sink in my room to brush my teeth, opened the medicine cabinet AND OUT CRAWLED A BIG-ASS MOTHA FUCKIN COCKROACH!
Insectual Fiends
I must say, however, it’s a fantastic way to get your blood pumpin’ in the morning.
Especially if you’re like me and insects of all sorts freak you the fuck out.
Do you people get what they are? Insects, especially cockroaches, are basically fucking aliens, except the planet they evolved on was Earth during a totally separate time period as us. Earth was so different when they evolved, it might as well have been an alien planet. They are not suited for our comfortable lifestyle.
Anyways, back to the issue at hand. It’s like the fourth time I’ve encountered a cockroach within a single minute of waking up, just a few days prior I opened my door and a little bastard ran in right past my feet. I did what any self-respecting man would do: I danced up and down on my tipi-toes like some old western douchebag was shootin at my feet… and yelped.
So, I’m not sure if I keep seeing the same little bastard or if there’s a bunch of little bastards. But this I do know: They’re smart little bastards and are aware of when I sleep and when I wake, because I never see them except for in the morning when I wake up, then they run away to some little hiding place and I never see them again.
They’re plotting our downfall from within the confines of our very own homes. And we’re just sitting by, clueless to the impending take-over of the human race by our insectual rivals.
I must implore you all take necessary measures to ensure that your house is rid of all these evil cockroach fiends, so that our society may be free once more from the threat of dictatorial insectual rule.
In the mean time, I’m gonna keep using them to help me wake up.

Fantastic title, btw!!! I actually found this post on tagsurfer instead of in my inbox – that was a fun surprise :)
Haha nice, I like using that too.
And thanks, I actually came up with the word “insectual” toward the end of writing it and had to make the change. Before that it was just gonna be “cockroach encounters” lol
Cockroaches make excellent alarm clocks. And defibrillators. Not so big on them living in my house as a pet, however.
Hey, you and me both. I think I have an implied agreement with the ones in my dorm, however. As long as they remain within the confines of their hiding places during the day, I have no problem with them roaming my room for all the crums left behind by my munchies during the night. :P
Can we agree to disagree there? I have a great fear of waking up not being able to hear and having a doctor pull a cockroach out of my effing ear. The like two I have running around immune to bug killers can go off to your house and eat your munchies. I’ll just sweep after dinner each night, kthx.
Haha yeah, I’m not sayin it’s favorable to have cockroaches, but since I do and I can’t really do anything about it, I’ll just look at it extremely optimistically lol
Meh. I’ve actually only seen two cockroaches inside our latest duplex [the last apt was practically IN the river, so they would crawl all over the exterior, but thankfully rarely got inside] but we have those bigass ants. You know, the ones that are never in a trail – just one hugenormous ant chilling on the counter door you were just about to reach for. And yes, I squeal like the girl I am.
