I remember Marcia's great story.

As for yours, last night there was a ridiculous sound in my living room. Loud as the smoke detector but different. I thought perhaps it was coming from an animal in the space between the ceiling and the floor above. Then I thought perhaps from outside. It stopped occasionally but returned. Finally I yelled just fucking shut up, And then the green cricket landed on the table, practically begging me to take it outside and relieve our mutual misery. And that I did. One cricket inside is so fucking loud. OMG.
