i was woken up today at 5 a.m. by a cockroach running across my face. wtf? how did a cockroach get inside my mosquito net? i can only assume it was a final farewell from all the animals who have visited my bed over the last 6 months: roaches, centipedes, ants, wasps, mosquitos, flies, spiders, and i think even some lizards. next time, roaches, maybe you could just send a letter. or if you can't write, maybe you could get your friends together and stand so that your bodies spell, "fare thee well, caylie," and then when i flick the lights on you can all yell, "surprise!" except that you can't yell. maybe you could all wiggle your antennae at the same time and i would know you are meaning to yell "surprise." also, we don't have any lights or light switches here, so you would just have to wait patiently in formation as the sun rises. thanks, roaches. thanks.
