      Urban ladybug

      November 13, 2007

      One nice thing about college, besides beer pong, is the ability to generally form your own schedule around how often you want to be lectured consecutively. I piled everything on Tuesdays this semester, straight through from 12:30 to 9:30, with some minor overflow on Thursdays.

      As I sit here between Biology and Psychology, trying to throw an entry together, this ladybug flies in the room and lands on my armrest. And I couldn’t deny its ambition.

      So here you go.

        Tasty Ladybug? It looks like your next step might be to eat him/her.

        Remember that year the ladybugs took over everything?? it was like out of a movie or something. I hope that doesn’t happen again.

        I have two ladybugs sitting in the corner of my ceiling, seemingly afraid to come down. Understandable, as I have just squashed a huge beetle just a few feet away from them.

        If they knew me at all, they wouldn’t be worried. I don’t squish ladybugs.

        K.

        I heard they make you itch. Be careful.

        They’d certainly fit on the list. =) I like the bright red ladybugs much better than the more orange colored ones.

        It’s good luck!

        Also, I was reading the “will life be worth living in 2000″ link, and ha! They got somethings right, but food sans nutritional value? Trash refrigerated and pressed into fertilizer pellets? A rotating roof?

        I guess they say dream big …

        They say that ladybugs are good luck. There were a bunch in the delivery room when my son was born. Don’t know whether I should be happy they brought luck or creeped out that they were able to get in there - and that was the year of the ladybugs.

        Ohhhh. So adorable. It reminds me of a close encounter I had with a caterpillar during a seminar class. I was a little stir-crazy that term and was actually planning to take her/him home and set him/her up with some leaves and space to chill, but a saner head prevailed and released my little friend outside. Sigh.

        Beautiful, beautiful photos. And that “Be careful” site is cracking me up.

        I love lady bugs and the photos are so sweet! I always scheduled my course so I had none on Friday or on Monday mornings.

        That’s really cool!! I like the photos…
        That was always my favorite bit about college too, choosing your schedule. The past two semester I have had free Fridays and I love it. :)

        Beer pong is a good thing, really? I have seen it played once, and have never played myself. Then again I was quite the barhopper in my youth, no need for drinking games, I was playing ‘irritate the bartender by ordering insane drinks and making up drinks”. It was fun, I liked it alot. Less now because I want the bartenders to like me and not charge me for everything I drink as scotch is expensive.
