This is why I could never be a veterinarian or work in a vet clinic.

This is why I could never be a veterinarian or work in a vet clinic.

I. just. could. not.

That is also why I don't work at a pet store anymore.

I like volunteering... because I can back off if I need to.

Yuck. The dread. 🙁

Yuck.  The dread.  🙁

I am going to dinner with some people later.  They are fine and nice people - some of who I would really like to see, but I am already tight in the chest.

Plans stress me out.  People stress me out.

Unless you're my animal peeps, you just stress me out.  It's not you - it's me.  For realz.

I am going, though.  Gonna try to make the best of it. Maybe I'll stuff a lizard down my shirt or something so I can feel normal.  😐

🙁 It's not bad enough that...

🙁  It's not bad enough that we are supposed to paint our faces daily, color our hair monthly, remove any hair that isn't considered to be in the right place, and even get plastic surgeries to be beautiful?  I knew that you could get cooch surgeries, but still.  Now we're supposed to bleach them, too?

I really hate social standards sometimes.  That is why I've been protesting for years.

I am one naked-faced, sometimes bald-headed (but excitedly graying when I'm not), otherwise hairy uthamucka with a some not-quite symmetrical pieces that no one's gonna fix.  And I like me that way.  I don't see why that is so bad.  I would never WANT another person to feel like their uniqueness is a bad thing.  🙁

I have not been doing my internet reading lately.

Ohhh... I have not been doing my internet reading lately.  I have 200 nail blog posts to catch up on.

😳

Today Shaun ordered me TWO birthday cakes.

Today Shaun ordered me TWO birthday cakes.  Because I wanted both a Red Velvet (my birthday tradition) and a Chesscake (awesome new thing I also wanted badly).  Come 11/24, I will be 10 lbs heavier.

That is all.  😛

I was in the mood for something bright.

I was in the mood for something bright. So BAM! TAKE THAT! WITH YOUR EYES! 😳

I'm not much of a pink-wearer, but I really like this color. It was an Orly October Breast Cancer Awareness polish. I don't know if you can still buy it, but I will totally paint your nails with mine! 😃

Shadow just came in here to tell me...

Shadow just came in here to tell me that he got really close to Beyonce and she didn't even run away at first.  How cool is that?!

She still flees like her tail is on fire every time she sees me, but hey - she probably sleeps on top of Shadow without him knowing it every night.  I keep my door closed, so she doesn't get to check me out while I'm not moving.

I just thought that was super cool.  He said he was within a few feet of her and she didn't run away for like, 10 seconds.  PROGRESS!  😃  I guess she'll come around when she's ready.  ❤
