Well, fairly predictably, my VD sucked. And not for the usual reasons either (ie, waa waa waa no one loves me, can't be arsed with that right now). I woke up with a hangover, couldn't find my good jacket before I left for my one lecture (which was found within seconds of me getting back after it), I fell up the stairs on the way to said lecture, half the lecture went straight through one ear and out the other (In Dutch: "How did Alan piss off Hanna?" ), then I joined the lads on their trip to the casino for the first time and lost £30 on Blackjack.

Not to mention that technically 3am after being in a club all night technically counts, and everyone had buggered off to said casino again without telling me. If I hadn't known one of the bouncers and gotten a lift off of him, I'd have had to walk home through Hull at night, not a good thing I assure you.

And that's just the stuff I remember. Not as bad as Kirby's day, to be certain, but still not so much fun.

EDIT: Oh yes, got asked a condesendingly easy question in Dutch, and I suffered a kingsize brainfreeze. Didn't understand teh question, couldn't formulate an answer when the question was explained to me... oh, the fun.

Yer not scared of spiders are you?

WARNING! Lame joke ahead!

A spider? Ah, that's nothing against the snake I found in mine.

Sorry, so sorry...

[Jane Sherwood]

NOT a Complaint, but all this talk about waking up with crawly things in bed with you just reminds me of it: I had a dream a couple nights ago where I was carrying around a small lizard in my hand, and when I woke up, I could still feel it squirming around in my fist for another thirty seconds.

Conclusion: that stuff in the NOES movies about pulling stuff out of your dreams is real, but only for a very short while.

NOW the Complaint: I've woken up to find cockroaches in my bed before, and I'm fairly certain something crawled down my throat while I was asleep last week.

Aaah, the joys of living in a student's hall of residence, right, Jane?
Those were the times... All sorts of flora and fauna in the kitchen, bathroom and everywhere else...

Cockroaches? Worst we've had anywhere was mice. Which reminds me of a funny story:

Housemate: We've got mice! We've got mice! I saw a mouse! There's mice in our house!
*pause*
Stupid Housemate: So does that mean we've got mice then?

[Deepsycher]

Sounds disgusting, not only do they eat a wide range of food but I hear cockroaches are a delicacy in some countries. Also used in some competitions:

Yet I remember a story about a man who ate 13 cooked cockroaches just to win an Ipod.
I don't think that cockroaches are as bad as they look, depending on where they have been.

Talking of mice, one solution I was thinking for a rat problem is to get a cat to starve as an attempt to find alternative live food round the house. I have my doubts as this is can be a cruel method. One fair method is to trap the mice and set them free miles away.

You know whats sad? It took me a good 6 seconds to realize what you were talking about. At first I was excited cause I love snakes. Then I was just ashamed of myself that I didnt see it coming a mile away.

I feed my mice to my snakes. That is, if the cats dont get to em first.

I actually knew about this - one of my Punjabi friends told me about it. Absolutely disgusting, but kind of cool, ha.

Complaint: My room smells like a condom factory, because I was using liquid latex for an art project.

[Deepsycher]

Yes, as snakes are flexible I think snakes may do a better job going through holes, especially when they are hungry but the problem I see is trusting them as they might turn their owner into a snack.

Also what is the worse finding out of the two in the pants: A large hairy poisonous spider or a wide colourful poisonous snake?

Did not know that a condom factory was another term for a paint factory. What were you drawing and painting for your art project?

*sigh* ... and I even used red letters... *sigh*

[Jane Sherwood]

Am I the only one who actually likes mice? Don't kill them, catch them! Make them pets!

[Deepsycher]

I know there may be benefits of capturing mice, clean and keep them as pets or to sell, but isn't that a form of oppression?

How can I befriend a mouse without locking it in a cage?

Give it up, Gobbler, he's a lost cause.
