Yep cause
lizards, bugs, ants, mosquitoes, spiders as big as your palm, snakes, rats, and
cockroaches the size of your foot weren't enough. Let's just go ahead and add
in Scorpions. God I hate bugs or insects or whatever the hell you want to call
them. And I really hate things that bite, sting, or well are just to big to
squash without making a HUGE mess or you know might not squish cause they happen
to be bigger than your foot and possibly stronger than your foot and they fly.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ROACHES FLY. It is a very dangerous world we live in when a
roach as big as your foot can fly and will attack when it has been sprayed with
Hit AKA Bug killer that makes them go loopy before slowly suffocating the
creature to death.
But once
again I digress...
Back to the
other creatures I shall enlighten you about roaches in another post. Scorpions
are exactly like they look like in the books, Wikapedia (which sadly has become
my BFF over here in India cause I just don't know as much as I should whilst I
am living here and well hell it has all the answers), movies, and well
nightmares.
Let me set
the stage for you.
I went into
the bathroom after a long car ride. Man I was tired all I wanted to do was
bathe then go to bed. I shed my clothes I started in on my freezing cold bucket
bath. Then realized I still hadn't peed (yes I'm graphic get use to it I have
suffered a trauma and my God I just don't care any more). So over to the toilet
I sunder thankfully it was Western style and well I did my thing. I slowly got
up to look for my towel and saw to my surprise a black thing in the corner
where my heel had been pretty darn close to. (FYI close enough it could've
struck me seriously not exaggerating at all I was that close to it). Now I had
taken my glasses off so I couldn't see that well I reached for my glasses and
clothes only to nearly scream as I realized what it was. Refusing to pull
another lizard scenario that you all laughed at me about. I calmly got dressed
went out of the bathroom and informed my friend that there was a scorpion in
the bathroom. To which she replied are you sure? I mean its probably just a
spider. "Nope" I responded calmly at her the whole time COMPLETELY
FREAKING OUT IN MY HEAD. "I'm pretty sure its a scorpion." She shook
her head and walked into the bathroom like whatever this foreigner is cray
cray. Then she came flying out said bathroom and said "Oh my God there's a
scorpion in the bathroom." Mom you would be proud b/c I did not say
nananana see I told you so. Nor did I act superior. I simply nodded my head yes
and waited for her brother to dispose of the creature while my friend was
freaking out verbally beside me.
Don't get
me wrong I was freaking inside my head and I didn't sleep a wink that night b/c
I kept seeing the damn things crawling up my bed under my mosquito netting to
get me or dropping down from the ceiling to attack. Needless to say God is good
and 1. I did not get stung even though I was close enough too and 2. I did not
get attacked in the middle of the night.
Needless to
say I am a WHOLE HELL OF A LOT MORE CAREFUL. I fully inspect every room, bed,
corner, bathroom, shoe, and piece of clothing I put on. And I thank my lucky
starts that this is yet one more thing I don't have to worry about in KS.
