Meet my latest former roommate, Benny the bat. At first he seemed innocent enough, quietly sleeping all afternoon. I thought he would be a great addition because he too would eat my insects, however the confinements of a roof were never meant for a bat. At about 2:30am I was awakened by something nudging against my feet. Since I’m here alone, needless to say, I was quite startled, but I’d seen him earlier in the day so I had a pretty good idea that it was him. I quickly flipped on the light and after he circled the small room quite a few times at great speed, he finally landed on the floor. I threw my blanket over him and “escorted” him out. I think I’ll stick with my gecko, Linus, for a roommate. He’s much less intrusive and doesn’t try to snuggle at night.

if you're gonna cuddle, though, benny would be the better choice. he's furrier/softer than linus.
ReplyDeleteomgosh... I would not choose to cuddle with either, thanks! If I woke up like that, I would've peed my pants... I can wake up to people screaming for me to save them from scorpions, but not something unexpected trying to curl up next to me... good riddens Benny!!!

ReplyDeletepretty crazy stuff dude, glad that you are having new experiences. can't wait to hear about them in person.
ReplyDeletemaybe thats the bat we thought we heard in the girls room over the summer... too bad Richard isn't there to leave you dead rats :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ash, I'm loving taking pics. I have more over on my flickr page if you haven't seen those yet.
