Comatose's Rant for the Day
Okay, so, we have a small-scale (meaning crazy and out of control!) cricket infestation in our house. Now normally this may seem like a not so bad thing. Crickets don't bite, they eat grasshopper eggs, so the crops will be safer I guess. However, crickets have one attribute that makes them more detestable than mosquitoes, tics, and hornets combined! Their accursed chirping! Even now I can hear them, one in particular (probably because it is close to me), "chirp, chirp, chirp." They are everywhere. Going down the stairs, I spot at least six or seven, and then there are probably ten at the foot of the stairs. In the hallway, I will see three to eight. In my room, I will see at least two, but there are more. There has been some in my roof as well and right outside my window. It is madness I tell you, madness! They are not so bad during the day, when I have things to distract me from their horrible constant chirping (and it is constant), but I cannot sleep at night. They are everywhere, so even if I go on a mass vacuum or squishing spree, they are still there. Their chirping is constant, so I get not a moment of silence. They are so loud that I can hear them through all my quilts, and my extra pillow. I have tried listening to music, but they overpower even that (and they are always horribly off beat, which drives me even crazier). The only strategy I have found that works in dealing with this is to stay up late, so I am incredibly tired, so that even with their chirping I fall asleep anyways. However, I cannot even sleep in, because as soon as my sleep lightens, a loud chirp will wake me up, and I am stuck awake again! It is maddening! I have even awoken several times to find them crawling on me. I just want them to stop. Therefore, I have concluded, that Cricket's are Bloodthirsty creatures of destruction who enjoy tormenting their victims so much that they will die of sleep deprivation, or go mad and kill themselves, so that they may feast on our carcasses. They are sent by the devil to destroy humankind.
