Well, I was experiencing some weird buzzing sounds, like a fan wire being caught. I popped off the side, lo and behold:

I poked at it and it seems dead, so I'm leaving it there

.

Double Post:
Update: It was alive. I heard a VERY large buzzing sound and when I popped the case side back off, it was sitting on top of my sound card. I went to shut the computer down, and when I came back around a bit later, it was starting to crawl between my sound card and modem. A very tight fit, even for a bug. I poked at it with a pencil and knocked it around until it was on the floor.

A PERFECT target for the bottoms of my black New Balance tennis shoes.

I now know what those freaking chirping sounds were from that I've been hearing all week. What puzzles me is how the frick it got in there.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It is a cicada. We have tons of them around here =/. It wasn't very loud though, which is odd, because cicadas normally are pretty deafening. At any rate, it explains the bird/insect sounds I've been hearing all week.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wiki makes it sound like all the acoustics are done via their bodies. IDK =/.

But yeah, thanks for the suggestion that it should have been a journal entry, I've never actually used mine before =/. It's setup now, lol.

And still no idea how it got in there. There are screens on my dorm window, and I would have noticed a bug that gargantuan flying in my computer in the short time I would have ever had it taken off.

Nehmi - is your sig/avatar done by that illustrator Stephen Gammell, who drew for those "Scary Stories" compilations (I think there were 3 of them).

If you did them, you have any photoshop tuts or anything like that, those look INCREDIBLE.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
