a few minutes ago i took a swig of my beer (it'd been sitting on the desk during a futile writing session) and felt something fuzzy brush against my tongue. i freaked out and spit toward the floor, and all over my foot. then fuzzy thing moved toward the inside of my lip, and as it did i felt a CRAZY FUCKING KICK to the face. i yelled, and out of my mouth flopped a GIANT DRUNK HORSEFLY. it wiggled for a minute, then died.
(it bit me to bleeding. i rinsed twice with high-test vodka.)

horse flies have mandibles like tiny serrated scimitars, which they use to rip and/or slice flesh apart. This causes the blood to seep out as the horsefly licks it up. They may even carve a chunk completely out of the victim, to be digested at its leisure.

Some horsefly species are known to transmit disease and/or parasites. Species in the genus Chrysops are biological vectors of Loa loa, transmitting this filarial worm between humans. They have also been known to transmit Anthrax among cattle and sheep.

i foolishly brought the party to my bedroom on saturday morning, there was this one disgutingly thin hippy guy called dave du*k who basically everyone hates but that's another story. he looks like the devil. anyway, we were sniffing and stuff and he was sneezing loads and passing out on my bed. later that night when i finally decided to go to bed, i put my head down and felt all this wet sticky stuff on my face - dude had been wiping his nose all over my pillow. worst thing is, as i was tidying my room today i noticed he had snotted all over my copy of world of echo and has left stains all over the sleeve.
