it’s 3 feet long and wants to kill me

Mon Mar 13 2006

Due to my overwhelming roach phobia, all of my evening housework plans have come to a screeching halt. My upstairs neighbor has a pipe that burst, creating a damp spot in the ceiling of one of my closets. As I walked into the closet to check on the leak, I spotted a 3 foot long, fanged cockroach hanging from the ceiling. These things are always trying to kill me.

The closet door is now shut, with a towel stuffed under the door. *sigh*

I hope it’s not your bedroom closets. Otherwise, it might want to crawl into your bed…to share the warmth or something

omg, omg. i’m having a physical reaction just reading about this. i can’t click on that link b/c i see it’s a jpg file and i fear actually seeing the roach. but phobias are also about sick fascinations so i just had joannie look at the picture and narrate. i don’t actually want to see it. oh scary.

I love that you are really scared of it, and yet took a photo.

lol - i know. like Lunamania said, phobias also involve sick fascinations. besides, I want to document the horror, and the insane size of that f**ker.

You know, roaches can eat through towels under doors like a hot knife through butter!!!!!! They can also squeeze through spaces that are smaller than they are!!! WATCH OUT, IT’S BEHIND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bleh! i have recently started living alone and have no roach killer for me. if i make eye contact with them, i am afraid they may attack or i may start wretching uncontrollably thus giving them the opportunity to run into my pillowcase and crawl in my ear when i am sleeping, so i have just started killing all brown bugs by using only my peripheral vision. it’s quite hard. lots of footprints on the walls. my neighbors probably think i am a nutjob.
