Robert Browning makes me wet in the pants
Oct. 18th, 2004 10:51 pmThere is so much to say, so buckle up...
In no particular order, but in order nonetheless:
1. The Incident of the Kittens.
There was a family of stray kittens behind my apartment. Apparently this has happened before(last year), with the same momma-cat. Apparently no one has thought to call Animal Control or even feed them. Then comes Jill, the bleeding-heart liberal who sometimes loves animals more than people. To make a long story a little shorter, the momma-cat is gone, I don't know where. I called Animal Control, so she's either captured or got hit by a car. At any rate, there were 3 kittens. I've been feeding them for about a month and a half. Realizing this could not go on, I tried to catch one, to no avail. I then realized I should get the pet carrier and catch them. One by one, I did (Kitten #1 required my getting a tetanus shot). Finally, I have captured Kitten #3, whom I've named Weeble (because he wobbles, but doesn't fall down). Kitten #1 and 2 were taken to the Humane Society because I'm an effing idiot and completely forgot about the C.A.T. Association (which has a no-kill policy). But at least they're "off the street", right? So yes, Weeble will be taken to the C.A.T. Association tomorrow or Wednesday. He currently resides in my bathroom.
I was lamenting my forgetfulness and the fact that #1 and 2 might now be put down and getting forlorn. What makes it all worth it though, is that today, I heard Weeble purring so loud and rolling around on his back in the carrier that I nearly wept. These cats were born into the "wild" and he's nearly tame now. He's come so far in a day. He's now taken to curling up in my lap and purring like a mad-kitty as he butts my hands with his head. He reminds me of zee Loco's Emi-cat.
Makes me happy.
2. Everyone should go see this movie.
3. I bought tickets to see The Faint @ Liberty Hall on the 27th as a birthday present to myself. They were only $12.50. :D
4. I still only have a part-time job, have made about $130 on Ebay, and have an interview tomorrow at the Lawrence Arts Center. I had another interview last week that went rather well. Classes are going well too. We're passed the mid-way mark.
5. My party last Saturday was good, as evidenced by the Sunday-morning hangover.
6. Ian is trying to get me back. This hurts me. When I found out he wanted me back, I sat on my kitchen floor and cried...because honestly, I don't think I can do it and it hurts me to hurt him. I'd rather be the hurtee. The biggest issue of this whole thing, is that I don't want a boyfriend, at all. I think I have larger trust issues than I would like to admit. Not that that's ALL it is, but the thought of entering into a relationship right now would take so much out of me that I don't care to do it, with anyone. It struck me as odd that that feeling of elation when the kitten decided to trust me, is something I cannot give someone else...not right now. The specific Ian-boyfriend issue has other drawbacks, but this is the main issue with me. And frankly, I'm being me-centric.
7. The person who just sat down next to me REEKS of vanilla. >_<
8. I masturbated at work today. It's a tradition.
9. My apartment looks fucking swank.
10. All of this sounded much more poetic when I thought of it throughout the day...but I've had coffee now and it's a mile-a-minute world.
10.5 SERIOUSLY, I think this guy(!) is not a human, but a walking-talking-typing vanilla bean.\
11. If you know who Scott McCloud is, or like R. Browning...checkit.
12. Just read this book. Cracked my ass up.
