I'm being attacked!!!

No, really I am! My apartment complex, me, the neighbors, everyone living here always has a problem with fruit flies when the weather is warm...it's horrible, and you can't even leave one dish in the sink (even if it's rinsed off) without being swarmed by 10 million of these little fuckers! I hate bugs! Hate them! And I don't know what to do. I even had my house fogged last summer and it didn't help at all! Right now I'm sans bug spray, so I've been using anything I can find...Lysol counter cleaner, hairspray, air freshener, and now I've resorted to Pledge, citrus scent. That's it, Gabby! No more bananas and grapes for you! It only makes the problem worse. Even if my kitchen is spotless, they migrate to the bathroom and hang out on the mirror...I don't know what the hell they're getting from there! Maybe they like Windex...maybe that's why it doesn't help as a substitute bug killer.

Maybe there is a liquid banana hiding somewhere?

OMG, you'll REALLY gross out at this! This is a true story, it was actually on the news here in Pittsburgh recently!

This mother and daughter were having the biggest problems with worms in their closet! WORMS!!!! They were crawling all up and down the walls inside the closet, on the door, and flies were EVERYWHERE in their bathroom, which was the next door to the right of the closet.

Come to find, a man had DIED in the upstairs apartment, and had been there for SEVERAL DAYS! The worms were MAGGOTS!!!!! The mom had called the police to tell them about the "worm" problem, and then they figured they should check the upstairs, to which they discovered a horrible stench in the hallway. EEWWWW!!! Can you IMAGINE????

Yea, that scares me a little. The last time it was this bad, the maintenance guys told me that they figured out why. The guy on the third floor had died and been there for 3 days. On top of that his apartment was horrendous. He rarely walked his dog *hint hint*, and a whole number of foul things. I don't want to know if that's what's happening now. I haven't seen worms though. That's a good sign.

Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...

Am I Going To Die? I just got stung for the first time ever by a wasp . . . So far so good . . . I can still breathe, I haven't swelled up like a balloon, yet . . . But it hurts and itches like crazy!!! It's almost the end of the semester and I am completely swamped! Two projects, two papers, and three finals, all in the next 3 weeks . . . Somehow I'll handle it. I've actually all of sudden "woken up" where school is concerned. I've been in such a daze for like the last 7 or 8 months. The AOC has changed my life as I knew it . . . in good and bad ways!!! Bad because he takes up too much of my thoughts . . . and I need all the brain capacity that I can get!!! Somehow, after years of barely even talking to anyone at work, and only a couple of years of actually being a little more friendly with my co-workers, I seem to have been sucked up in "office politics" and I HATE it! I used to really like going to work . . . now I just want to quit!! It still...
