Ants!

First of all, I'll start off by apologizing for not writing in a while (assuming that there's somebody out there who reads my blog). I left the last entry on a pest invasion cliffhanger, thinking the story was going to get more interesting. However, fortunately for me, and unfortunately for the interestingness of my life, my ant story quickly came to an end.

Over the past several weeks, I had noticed a few ants here or there around my apartment, generally when I'd made the mistake of leaving food out for a long period of time. They weren't too much of a pest, but I soon noticed that they were biters. They weren't all that vicious, but I was still living among biting insects, so I wasn't entirely pleased with that living situation. Well, all of a sudden one day, I realized that I had a full infestation on my hands. They were congregating around both of my sinks and walking paths along my walls. There would be times when I could see probably 50 little red ants around my bathroom sink alone. And the weirdest thing of all - they loved my bar of soap! Their path led directly to the soap, which they chewed up, leaving piles of soapdust on my soap dish. How bizarre! They didn't even seem interested in food!

Well, I thought that story would go on and on and the ants would take over my apartment and force me to live on the streets and all sorts of excitingness. But, alas, the exterminator came last Thursday morning, and the ants were all gone within 24 hours. What a lackluster ending to an entirely lackluster story. I promise you - it can't be very long before I have a more interesting debacle to write about. Until then, be glad I'm not posting about homework alone.
