A message from the Author:
This is a fictionalized blog of fictionalized facts. There are two main characters Eliza Leigh (a talking mutant ant) and Humanoid Translator (a confused, slightly bemused blogger).
Many posts are the two of them bickering and will generally be Eliza Leigh talking with the human “interrupting”.
On a parting note, please don’t tell Eliza Leigh (eL) or Humanoid they aren’t real. They wouldn’t believe you and then I’d have two divas on my hands.
Word of the Week: Algophobia
Defined as:
Fear of pain.
Last Tuesday, HT who boasts she doesn’t suffer from algophobia had to be sedated to get one measly tooth out.
“Eliza Leigh, it was an impacted wisdom tooth that had to be surgically removed. Besides I asked if I could stay awake but they said no. I’d rather be in pain than not know what is going on.”
That’s got to be a phobia.

Fiction Friday. A poem… Ode to Spiders
Okay so it is a poem based on HT’s real life experience last night. She didn’t tell me about it, instead she wrote in on the back of a bill to remember it. Plus, if you thought you’d be reading a real ode… sorry.
Late at night from the corner of my eye I saw a white spider and it had to die.
I smacked it hard but it bounced away.
I settled back down, closed my eyes and felt it nipping at my thigh.

Snapped: Drive by
Just to show that HT is crazy… taking pictures, while driving next to a state tropper.
“At least my car was inspected.”
Word of the Week: Abrosia
Defined as:
Abstinence from food. Fasting.
Human Translator will be familiar with this word tonight. Abrosia after midnight but she’s already bought two ice creams for after her wisdom tooth extraction. Human, does that mean what little wisdom you had will be gone come tomorrow.
“Perhaps, so I had better kill you while I’m thinking clearly.”
