Spotted: Largest Cockroach in the History of Cockroaches

My four day weekend has already begun with a bang! After a strenuous week of papers and presentations, I decided to surround myself with good people and fun last night. Let's just say, a few virginities have been stripped away. (That really isn't meant to sound as raunchy as it does.)

Today, I did absolutely nothing of importance. I slept in until 12:30PM. That was crazy, and then I spent all day watching movies and TV shows. Hey, I deserved a relaxing day.

Courtney, Cait and I had already made plans to have a nice dinner together. We ventured out to buy some nicer wine than the $10 goon that is supposedly made of fish eggs. *Barf* And headed to one of our favorite Chinese places to eat. Only this time we did the unthinkable, we ate there! I don't think the wait staff knew how to handle us, seeing as we always just get take away. The dinner was delicious and relaxing. Sometimes I just get bored with going out and partying. I like to kick back and drink, but not feel the need to be drunk.

After we finished, we indulged ourselves in some gelato. This was acceptable because we walked quite far to get this gelato. Can't you just see how our minds work? The evening air was pleasant, and I had missed the sounds of bats flying overhead since I have not walked through the park at night in a few weeks.

Once we got home, we decided to watch The Girl Next Door. I had never seen it, or so I thought. I came to the conclusion that I saw it once upon a blue moon, but just did not remember seeing it.

The three of us were just enjoying a wonderful scene when all of a sudden a cockroach the size of my wallet went crawling across the wall! At first we thought it had gone out the window and we were just going to close it. Wrong! It was crawling up the side of the window. Cait quickly grabbed the insect spray (which was almost empty!) and attempted to spray the giant roach. Instead it fell on Cait and the three of us went screaming and running around the living room. As we attempted to find its location, it came crawling out from under the couch.

Cait: KIM! GRAB THE SPRAY!
Me: Where the hell is the spray?!
Cait: I don't know! I threw it over there somewhere! *points in the direction of the window*
Me: *scrambling to find the spray bottle and finds it next to the couch that I have to climb over to get* YOU THREW IT THE FARTHEST AWAY POSSIBLE!
Cait: Just kill it!!

I chased the cockroach in circles with the spray as Courtney and Cait screamed some more. Finally, Courtney convinces me that he is dying. I didn't notice even though he was drowning in a puddle of insect spray.

After about 5 minutes, one of their flat mates came out of his room. I asked him why he didn't come out to help us when he heard us screaming. His response: "Oh, I just thought you guys were drunk."

I deserve the award for killing the largest cockroach in the history of cockroaches.
