They're annoying. Currently there's a group of school children across the road from my building having an "screaming competition" with a construction tool. Every time it makes a loud nose, they try to out do it. I want to storm downstairs and smack each and every one of them over the head with my laptop.
But something tells me I'd get into trouble.
RUN'S HOUSE!!!
Rach you're brilliant. Well done for calming the situation.
And as far as complaints go -
Why can't I buy a bloody return train ticket to Sheffield for Tuesday that doesn't cost me £90???
And why must I be kept on hold, or using voice activated machines that aren't activated by my voice unless I repeat myself 5 times, or being transfered from place to place and incompetent imbecile to even more incompetent imbecile for an hour and a half in order to buy tickets that I don't even want but have to get so that I don't have to take out a mortgage in order to go to a stupid university open day????
You Know It!
And although you were a DJ on the radio and not like a DJ spinning tracks at clubs, do you happen to know where I can buy a record player? and how to even select one? I don't know anything about them other than the fact that I want one ha.
I can email it to you if you like. Write me at rachelccgreenspan@gmail.com (because that's the email I used when applying for jobs). As to your record player question, BEATS Me! If you figure out the answer to that question, let me know! The only record players I know of are professional level, and they cost WAY more than I'm willing to spend.
My husband is DJ Suss-One's cousin though. He might know. I'll try and find out.
Anyway, I am hoping these bites will make me look "bad-ass" or "tough." Though, I have a feeling they will just make me look "diseased!"
I am making them into pictures! It looks like a crazed dino's eye
My arm!
My tummy!
You know, it looks like they're biting in a pattern. Maybe they're spelling something out for me?
Apparently the boys who live below us have no problems. Maybe we just have a tenacious spider? Lord I hope so.
EDIT: Now i find out it takes 15-30 minutes for the ringtone to get to me phone. Great. Now I will have about 7 text messages coming at me with the same song at the same time. Oh well atleast I like the song.
Also as cute as my dog is, he is driving me nuts! He won't stop whinning because my mom is outside and he wants outside, but he will bug my mom so she doesn't want him out there.
- tell you they'll text you to tell you what's happening tonight.
- don't do the above.
- also don't reply to your texts asking where everyone's going.
ARGH!
Amy, those bites look vicious. Evict the buggers - is there no bed-bug-icide spray?
Sadly, the only foolproof bed bug-icide is DDT which, I don't know if you know this or not, is apparently not that cool. So! I am very lucky to have a super understanding landlord (landlords actually since it's owned by a company) and they're paying for the exterminator. I called this afternoon. Hopefully they will call back soonish as I FINALLY caught one of the fuckers today (in my bag! My grandma bag with a cat on it! One fucking invaded my catbag. I proceeded to catch it, kill it (sorry little fucker), and vacuum my entire mattress... again).
Again, it's actually not that bad. I'm kind of just laughing it off now because, like I've mentioned, it's kind of hilarious when you think about it, albeit a little itchy.
I hate school.
And I have a 91 in math. Sure, it's only been two weeks since school started and there have only been 3 assignment, but I don't know why I am so upset about it. Help.
Uhhhh I don't know about you, but a 91 isn't bad at ALL. You have a whole term to bring it up (or keep it the same as a 91 is not even close to a fail). Trust me, I know. I'm a massive overachiever (and procrastinator. I don't know how the two went together). Keep repeating this: a 91 is GREAT and I know that, if I want, I can do even better.
If that doesn't work, pretend you're in Canada. Here, an 80 is an A and a 70 is a B. It's fantastic!

Haha, I'm the same.
Thanks for helping, I think I feel better. After all, all that makes up that 91 is three homework assignments.
That Canada thing seems wonderful!
I would LOVE you to kick some ass!
Ooo actually. Could you just import a load of your bedbugs over here for me to plant in her room....? That could be fun.
Yay for your landlords! So you'll be bug-free soon? Maybe killing that bag-invading bug will have set an example to the rest of them - they have been warned of your attitude, and should scoot, now. *fingers crossed for you*
And Courtney - don't worry about it, really. You've got an entire year to bring it up. Last year, in biology, I had a C by my 3rd assignment, but by the time I got to my final exam I got 100% and got an A. I overachieve too, and get freaked out by low grades, but there's always an opportunity to boost yourself up

Oh I would be so happy to export them, you have no idea.
I've actually killed two more (well, technically, one was dead already, BUT STILL). I don't know if it's good that I know where to look for them, or if it means they're multiplying. Eeeeeeh.
Hopefully we will be bug-free soon, though apparently it takes work to actually get rid of them. I think they may be in my mattress, so I'm getting an allergy cover thing today to keep 'em in and hopefull kill them. I really have no sympathy though, I think, they really ARE trying to spell something out in bites on my tummy.
She says that to get rid of bedbugs, you have to get a whole new mattress. They're living in the mattress so it's best just to throw it out and get a new one. And wash your sheets and duvets at at least 60 degrees celcius (I don't know what that is in farenheight, sorry!) because the heat will kill them.
I mean, you could still get the exterminators in, but that's her advice.
As of right now, I don't think they are in my mattress (as it's sewn shut and they, as far as I can tell, can't burrow INTO the mattress. They hide in the seams... though I guess they do lay eggs and those could be in the mattress. Whoops). I've heard to actually NOT get rid of it because they can be killed simply by purchasing a mattress encasing (like one used to keep in dust mites for people with allergies).
I have indeed put all my sheets through the drier... about 3 times this past week. And I vacuumed! I vacuumed so much. Apparently having bed bugs is the best training for being a housewife (i.e. CONSTANT CLEANING)
Since the exterminator is being paid for by my landlord, I figured it more then worth a shot.
Again, though, tell her thanks! It's always nice to get advice.
I am going to frame the bugs I caught. You know, for posterity.
Ya and Courtney, don't worry about it. Like everyone said, you have so much time to pick up your grade. Last year I went from failing Honors Physics halfway through the 2nd quarter (because on my progress report that they give out half way through the quarter said I was failing) to getting an A by the end of the class. I was sooo happy!
