Dawn ,'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Because they fly and they have bodies. Ergo they do not belong in my apartment. I love when they fly right into my lamp, though. Solves that problem quite satisfyingly.
This is right thinking, although I have never had a moth die by flying into one of my lamps. They just do the bounce of thing that makes me wish I could kill them more than once.
It is so very much spider-hatching season here. They're everywhere all of a sudden. Blech.
And we had what they blithely refer to as "palmetto bugs" (roaches with wings, folks) in Florida. Horrible, horrible things.
I would never kill a lady bug. Spiders now...I can't get used to the idea of coexisting, although I know that everything JZ said about them is true.
It's only gross if it was last night's tea.
Whistling innocently...
t oh, cool, the ickies have lost a few legs. scampers out.
Fails to mention how she knows it is gross
But the fluttering of its wings down my back (long nightdress) will stay with me forever, I fear.
Up.my.skirt. And it was the 3 inch long crunchy crawly kind.
Needless to say, I was shortly standing deskirted in the middle of my dad's office, stomping on said skirt. The office also happened to be facing the university library front entrance and yes, it was between classes. I really don't like roaches.
Ladybugs bite.
It's not rappelling spiders, nor spiders in tea. But the fluttering of its wings down my back (long nightdress) will stay with me forever, I fear.
Ye gods. shuuuudder
STOP TALKING ABOUT BUGS, SPIDERS, INSECTS, ETC. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!
So. How 'bout them baseball teams?
Ignoring the spider talk. La la la!
Increasingly, my phone number seems to be the only one people know. They're calling me for everything, from "Hi, I'm Person from Agency Blah. We're shooting a commercial on a TIGHT schedule and we were wondering if we could get..." to "Hi, I'm Somebody from Agency Whatever, and our invoices are being sent to the wrong place..." to "Hi, I'm Guy from Agency Cutesyname, and I was wondering if I could get the font..." and so on.
Now, shockingly, I'm not actually in charge of Everything. In fact, I'm not even in charge of A Lot. But since the phone calls have been actively interfering with me doing my actual work, I'm thinking of changing the message on my voice mail:
"Hello, you've reached the Everything Desk. We're in charge of everything! We can answer your every question! And since we know everything, we already know exactly what it is you need. You may hang up now secure in the knowledge that we will take care of everything. Have a great day, and thanks for calling the Everything Desk!"
