Mosquitoes make me angry.\u00a0 They quietly touch down on my skin, stick a barb in me, and start sucking my life blood.\u00a0 Sometimes I feel a little sting as they bite.\u00a0 I look down and swat, slapping myself hard and spilling out a few choice words, but it’s too late.\u00a0 Even if I manage to crush the evil bug, he’s already bitten.\u00a0 The red spot and nagging itch are already an inevitability. <\/p>\n
I tried to write this post outside, but I was chased inside by mosquitoes.\u00a0 Rarely life threatening, they are annoying, frustrating, creatures.\u00a0 One or two now and then are hardly noticed, but go to a place where it has been wet for a while, and you will suddenly be relentlessly attacked by swarms of them.\u00a0 They can bring misery into even the most beautiful place, just like some people I know.<\/p>\n
We all know some mosquito people.\u00a0 They are the people who get under our skin and slowly suck our life blood.\u00a0 Pestering, annoying, biting and stinging, they eventually drive us mad.\u00a0 Of course, different things get under the skin of different people.\u00a0 Some may affect us strongly, while not affecting others at all.\u00a0 The same thing that can be endearing to one, can be annoying to another.\u00a0 To some people, maybe even I am a mosquito.\u00a0 Maybe sometimes that’s why I feel like I’ve been swatted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
