| Only the one that attacked me was a bit bigger than this - HONEST! |
So... Friday night I didn't get home until like 1:30 am
I went in my room, took a nice long shower, got ready for bed, read my scriptures, etc.
Then I got up to turn off my light and all of a sudden there was a GIANT, LOUD flying beetle swarming my room
ewwwww!
Really it was just this huge, unidentifiable insect
with loud wings
So naturally, I scream
and I grab a pillow and use it as a shield
I'm not dressed - just in G's
Because the bug is swarming around my light fixture so I'm TRAPPED in my room.... squatting on the floor hiding under my pillow shield
Finally... I was brave enough to run to the door and booked in down the hallway
Then I sat on the floor in my living room for like 5 mins hoping that it would fly out of my room so I could run back in there and shut the door and barricade everything
But... it didn't come.
So I thought... maybe I can entice it into the hallway
So I crept back up to my room to turn the light off... hoping it would come to the hallway light
Yes, I'm very inventive when it comes to large attack bugs
So... after another 5-8 mins, the bug didn't come into my trap
So I crept back to my doorway and turned on the light... but he had stopped flying and I didn't know where he was!
So I had to search for him... took me FOR EV ER to find him.... he was perched on top of my window curtains on the opposite side of the room
So... now I need to get him to fly again
So... I snuck into my bathroom (backed into it--- keeping my eye on the bug the WHOLE time)
and grabbed every semi-light hair product I own
Armed and ready, I braced myself
...got as close to the window as I could feel comfortable getting
and I started throwing things at him
But, he would not be deterred!
He would just duck down and start creeping away
I threw things for at least 15 minutes
...remember... I'm still not clothed
And I started to worry that my roommate might wake up from all the ruckus and then that would be a sight to see
So... I hurried and pulled on some pjs
Then I threw some more stuff... but to no avail
So finally, I grabbed an old ensign, rolled it up... and braced myself to get ready to strikd
strike
but I didn't want to smoosh him on my white curtains! And that's where he was! AND his body looked smash resistant... so I didn't know if my first hit would do the job
So I decided to throw a few more times
Well... I finally pissed him off
And with the last throw, he perched and then he took off in flight.... RIGHT AT MY FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I screamed and scrambled and fell backward onto my butt swinging my ensign viciously to try and get him away
I whacked my hand into the wall and I"m pretty sure I'm rug-burned
but I luckily smacked him to the ground, then i bounced up to my feet and I whacked that bug 5 times until he was annihilated!
And then I fell on the ground and tried to slow my heart beat and calm my nerves
my hand hurt
And that entire sequence took approximately ONE HOUR.
Pathetic, I know.
