Random bat talk at 4 am!

It's exactly 4:03 am. Once again it's a sleepless night... with lots of meaningless thoughts overcrowding my mind. Currently bats are flying all over my head! I often like to think myself as a bat. There are couple of reasons behind this; firstly they are nocturnal (just like meee!), they are mysterious and there are thousands of myths about them. These myths are a mixture of good and evil. For example, bats are directly linked to villains like Darcula and heroes like Batman ( Both are my extremely favorite fictional characters, what a combination! ). To me bats are truely a very beautiful animal which many people consider to be a symbol of ghost, death or the devil ( how absurd!). I find microbats really fascinating because their senses of hearing works by emitting high-pitched sounds and listening to the ECHOES ( how suppa-duppa cool is that!). I really really hope I will be able to visit The Congress Avenue bridge in Austin, Texas, in the near future because it is the summer home to North America's largest urban bat colony! I would love to watch the bats leaving their roosts during twilight! One day, I hope!
I think that was enough bat talk for one night... well almost morning. OMG it's almost 5! and I still haven't finished my English essay about Mrs.Taylor's character ( =O ) ... I wish she was a batwoman, then it wouldn't have been so boring =(
