today's war

I come home from uni early today, hungry as hell. Picked up something for lunch on the way and burst into the house ready to eat.

Then I see the army.
The army of ants that has somehow invaded my house.
They. are. everywhere. I kid you not.
I am so angry with them right now I'm considering hosing down my kitchen just to see them struggle and squirm.

So I jumped into action; smashed a few of them, washed a bunch down the sink, then whipped out the vacuum cleaner to annihilate the ones on the floor. Then, just as an added measure, I cleared the vacuum canister so none of the ones that managed to remain alive can climb back out into my house.

THEN I found the insect spray and ant-proofed my front door (which is where they were coming from). Periodically, I see the lone ant meandering around my floor. Such ants get smashed.

They are gone, for now. I would like to think they fled out of fear. But I know they will be back the next time rain comes.

But until then...

I hate ants.

if my heart was a house, owl city

You're the sky that I fell through, and
I remember the view whenever I'm holding you
The sun hung from a string
Looking down on the world as it warmed over everything

Chills run down my spine
As our fingers entwine
And your sides harmonize with mine
Unmistakably, I can still feel your heart beat fast when you dance with me

We got older and I should have known
[do you feel alive?]
That I'd feel colder when I walk alone
[oh but you'll survive]
So I may as well ditch my dismay
[bombs awayyy]
[bombs awayyy]

Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
Back and forth
If my heart was a compass, you'd be North
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go
If my heart was a house, you'd be home

It makes me smile because you said it best
I would clearly feel blessed if the sun rose up from the west
Flower bomb perfume
All my clothes smell like you cause your favorite shade is navy blue

I walk slowly when I'm on my own
[do you feel alive?]
Yeah but frankly I still feel alone
[oh, but you'll survive]
So I may as well ditch my dismay
[bombs awayyy]
[bombs awayyy]

Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
Back and forth
If my heart was a compass, you'd be North
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go
If my heart was a house, you'd be home

If my heart was a house, you'd be home
