Alert! We are in Code Raid!

-
In my house I'm considered the Roach slayer, so whenever there's a roach terrorizing the not-so-innocent residence in our house no matter what time it is, I have to go kill it. There have been a lot of tree roaches around here lately so I have been in a constant Code Raid alert made for a while. Anyhow yesterday morning my mom woke me up at 4:00 to kill a roach that she had seen crawling in between the orange bag, and plates that Caterpillar had neglected to put away the night before. I wanted to get over with it as soon as possible, so I walked into the kitchen not knowing what kind of trouble I was getting into. As soon as I saw how huge that thing was I instantly felt afraid, and wanted to turn back and run to my bed. Curse that stupid brain of mine that decided to stay and face that absolutely ginormous roach! *shudder* I'm still scared to think about it. Okay back to the story... Monkey was awakened by mom also but she's never much help when it comes to the killing of bugs, although she did bring a can of Raid with her. (At that moment I felt a pang of gratefulness for her.) Sadly she couldn't see the monstrous roach whom was hanging onto the counter as if daring me to come after it, so she threw me the Raid. I started spraying it and screaming at the same time, waking up my siblings at the same time. I'm such a little multi-tasker. Then it fell from the counter and ran to the living room where I threw Monkey the Raid back to her, with it she finished the atrocious roach off by spraying it with the precious Raid and her spit while she screamed,"Die! Die! Die! You stupid roach!!!" "Great, I sarcastically thought to myself tag team roach killing." Instead of going to bed after the drama of the murder was over we had to clean the house. I don't have any desire to tell that part of the story. *bleh* After all of that "fun" stuff I was finally able to go back to sleep and dream about weird things like killing roaches, and eating an entire bag of chocolate covered raisins. Wait! Those weren't dreams. Oh. Well.



*I really should get paid for being a Roach Slayer. Don't you think?*

    Your twin would NEVER do that for me...not in a million years or for a million bucks! I always have to rescue her from scary cockroaches and scorpions and stuff!

    I think chocolate covered raisins look like bugs. But they taste good. ;)

    One time there was a cockroach in the comp. lab at school. I took off my shoe and tried to kill it. It ran away

    Oh....MY!!! I would never ever be the "Roach Slayer". I don't get cockroaches here, but I do get spiders. And in my opinion, spiders are the worst. I'm sooooooo SO arachnaphobic it's not even funny. I can't start thinking about them...buuugh.

SPRING BREAK!!!!

Words cannot express how much love I feel for Spring Break right now. This picture pretty much sums up how I felt when I got out of school last Friday! It has been a crazy busy semester, so this week without having to worry about assignments and projects has been absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, it's now Thursday and it is almost time to dive back into reality! :( Alright so here are five things that I love at the moment: 1. Sherlock Holmes on BBC!! Even when I am super busy I make time to watch this show! :) It has hilarious dialogue, plus it doesn't hurt that Sherlock is super cute! And the best part of this show is that the next episode for season two is going to air on my birthday!!!! To say that I am excited is a complete understatement! 2. Popcorn! The popcorn my mom buys hardly has any calories, it is delicious, and pretty much my favorite food at the moment! 3. The Clockwork Prince! I bought this book the week after it came out, and I fell in love with it. I

New York Story: NYC's Version of The Little Mermaid

New York City in the summer is Satan's literal anus. It smells bad and it's hot as hell. In an effort to help people in the city cool down, the fire department opens up the fire hydrants. Many people use the open water as a splash pad or a car wash. I preferred to close the curtains and lay in front of a fan for hours at a time. But to each their own, right? I lived down the street from the 1 Train at 135th and used that train almost exclusively to get to Amelia and Dillon's house. The 1 train was more reliable than the life ruining M11 bus, even though I liked taking the bus to the West Side way more. Anyway, since I practically lived on their couch on the weekend, the trip from Hamilton Heights to the West Side was familiar.  On this particular occasion, I had dinner plans with Amelia and Dillon and I was already running behind. I decided to walk on the right side of the street so I could pick up dessert at the grocery store before getting on the train. For reference, I N

Thanksgiving Day One!!

Okay, so I have never blogged from my phone before, so this will be interesting! Winter I my favorite time of the year. I love the cold weather, the clothes, the Christmas romantic comedies, and especially the general attitude. I love having an attitude of gratitude. And it seems like during the holiday season other people adopt that point of view as well. One of the most rewarding feelings is when you bring a light into someone's life, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays gives opportunities to do that. For the next five days I will be posting the things I am thankful for!! 5) Over the summer, I decided that I wanted to do a big project for personal progress. I decided on making baby hats for premature babies. Unfortunately, however, I am not crafty, I don't know how to knit, and I fail miserably at every artsy endeavor I have tried. Despite all the things that could go wrong, I bought hat knitting looms. It took a couple of days for me to finally learn how to do
