(no subject)
I decided to take a nice hot bath to help cure my pain. While I was waiting for the water to fill the tub I plopped my Lush bath bomb in and saw a random wasp lying on the floor. Of course, I got a piece of paper and nudged it to make sure it was dead. It turns out that it was only sleeping! What kind of wasp sleeps on someone's bathroom floor? I'd like to know!
Thankfully I have an alternate escape route (a la Eve's room) from the bathroom as the wasp was napping in front of my bedroom. I ran out (okay, hobbled. shut up.) and grabbed the closest bug killery liquid device I could find.
The wasp didn't take too kindly to being sprayed down with 409, lemme tell you. Normally I'm all for keeping living creatures alive but the simple fact is that the creature was standing in the way of my badly needed bath + dissolved Lush product. I had to do it. You'd do the same given my situation. It kind of crawled around for a while and then finally stopped so I mopped up the 409 that got everywhere up with a towel and let him be.
I got so panicked about thoughts of the wasp coming back to life that I jumped out of the bath after only 10 minutes and flushed it down the toilet. Then I panicked at the thought of it somehow swimming out of the toilet and stinging my ass the next time I go to the bathroom I had to flush it 3 times. And then as I was lying down to go to sleep all I could think about was waking up with 50 wasps in my bed just waiting to sting me the moment I become conscious. Seriously, the whole embarrassing scenario of me having to call 911 played into my head (at the end, I'm rendered unconscious with a sharpie in my hand and a note on my arm that just says "Wasps!" so that the medics know what happened to me.
Now I can't sleep.
So I started looking up elementary schools in the Plant City area and Ishityounot one of the elementary schools used to be called Plant City Negro High School. In fact, here's the description:
In 1920, an elementary school was built in Lincoln Park, a black community in southeast Plant City. It was first named Midway Academy, serving grades one through eight. Beginning in 1936, one additional grade was added each year until all grades through grade 12 were being taught. The school was then called Plant City Negro High School. The elementary school was renamed Lincoln Elementary by the residents of Lincoln Park, and the lion was chosen as the new mascot. The school's colors became red and white. In 1971 the school was converted into a sixth grade center, and remained so for 23 years. In the fall of 1995, Lincoln became Lincoln Elementary Magnet School of Technology for students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
I wonder what the mascot was before it was switched to a lion? Knowing this area and the hicks that run it it was probably some black man eating out of a bucket of fried chicken.
Eve is soooooo going to private school. From the looks of the website that's the BEST school in the area they have to offer. A former "Negro" school.
Who the hell names a school that? Well, we're talking central florida in the days where Equality was a 4 letter word...nevermind.
Ugh.
