WHAZZUP? Meet the new animal. **must keep suspense intact**5:27 p.m. - 2003-02-17
Whazzzzzupp????!!!! God. You know, I always have hated that. Even when it was popular. People would say to me "WHAAAAAZZZUUUUUUUUUUPPPP?!" And I would say back "THATS SO STUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIID!"
You know, I think I may just delete that whole segment. I mean, what did that really have to do with anything? Absolutely nothing. But then again, I did just type that up. And this whole mental conversation too. Ah, WTF. If people actually read this, they aren't exactly expecting an astute and interesting commentary on the possible war (which, by the way, I think is the most stupid pile of crap that I have ever heard. "They may have nuclear weapons, and they may be pointing them at us!" Are we avoiding the real issue here?). See, while that was commentary on the possible stupid-ass war (which my grandpa as a conformist christian republican, who knows that the (unintelligent) president is always right, of course supports), it was neither astute nor interesting. Wait, why am I writing this entry again? Oh yeah.
The long overdue entry on the newest member of this household.
So... we got the new member January 21st. Don't stare at me dissaprovingly! Its been less than a month! I update sometimes (he he he?), I just forgot to mention it.
Okay. Add one black female cat (very small, about 6 lbs, and she's full-grown, we believe) to the family, with 2 male cats. What do you get? Three cats with colds! Apparently Lillith (her name, obviously) got sick at some point at the APA. She didn't eat for the first two days that we had her. And she had horrible diarrhea. Come to think of it, she's had this damn cold for almost a month, probably more! So now, Goofy is also sick. And I'm afraid that Ben is catching it now. They were both on antibiotics (Goof and Lillith), for, like, a few days, but the diarrhea came back (they were on A-D medicine for a while), so now they are off the pills again until the diarrhea goes away, but there's lots of sneezing and cat snot and everything delightful about owning a cat. And they are supposed to be fasting for 24 hours (again, for Lillith), which is so much fun! I mean Whee! Cats are so much delightful fun when they are hungry and you can't feed them!
Anyway, Lillith (that links back to a really old entry, to which I just entered her as one of the cast of less than a dozen). Mom had the two most GODAWFUL names for her when we first got her (Mom chose her by herself, I didn't even meet her until the first day she came home) Antigone (which I like more than the other one-- its pronounced An-tig-on-ee), and XANTHE! GAGPUKE! Argh! Eventually, the reason of the rest of the household prevailed. She's very sweet-- when she's not trying to kill you! I think she has the cat version of ADHD. She's so sweet and snuggly, and then she gets in these moods, and nothing is safe. She has attached every area of my body-- including my boobs, and then back of my knees when I was walking away. And she bites HARD. We're hoping she'll be nicer after shes better. The other cats have learned not to be gentle with her, after the first week, because she'll bite and slap them to death.
Anyway, guess that's about it for now. Too many stories about Lillith to say all, so adios!
:o)
