A visit to the Australian Museum taught me these filthy things have been on this earth for 400 million years and I think its very plausible that when we get into total nuclear warfare, cockraches will rule the world as the only survivors. The last couple of days it has been hot and humid weather and as a result we have seen a record number of roaches run around the streets and those things are fast. When sitting outside a bar a girl decided to jump on one, catapulting half of it towards our table. Proof of their almost indestructable nature became visible when that half started moving again. When I got home at night I skyped with my mum and made her deaf when I was caught off-guard when one of them decided to target my feet. A larger one decided to practice its wallclimbing skills and when Lisianne came back from her October fest we spend an hour trying to find out where they were and decided there had to be two serpate ones crawling around my curtains and desk because they were different sizes. We caught the smaller one and threw it in the trashcan (we don't step on them in the fear of spreading eggs). Yesterday night when I got back from a pubcrawl I found another two that ran for it as soon as I switched on the light and decided that I had had enough. I stuffed the cracks full of cardboard and paper, but preventing them from getting in also meant I had two in my room that couldn't get out. Once again I caught the smaller one.... Today we got little black boxes that will hopefully solve the problem. By now I like to think I stopped screaming but still, those damn crawlies look a lot cuter in wall-e.
