i would love to get swine flu about now.
before mocks is the only time swine flu would be acceptable though.

geog coursework finally in!
actually it wasn't that bad to do.

^ Not only is it odd that she would tell you that she has hemerroids, it's particularly strange that she would go on about them for an hour.  Seriously- how is there that much to talk about, other than the fact that they suck?

Soooo! After 7 long years, I finally got some ratties!! I picked them up this Monday from a girl who had an oops litter. I was planning on getting 3 but the girl had 4 boys left and someone took just 1 so if I took 2, the last one would’ve been all alone. They are so stinking cute. About 6 weeks old right now…one’s beige and named Yogi, the other two are a silver/blue colour and are named Roscoe and Rufus. Yogi is a future fatass,  I can already tell and he likes to be petted the most. Rufus is a bit shy and doesn’t like to come out as much and he tends to hide in the corners of the sheet on my bed. Roscoe is the most outgoing and friendly and playful..one day, he will be a great rat ambassador! They eat a lot more food than I ever thought baby rats could. They’ll run around and play and lick your hands and groom your nails and hair and sit still for a minute to be petted behind the ears. One downside is that they do stink--and the cage is in my room:( So I’m gonna try out a few different beddings and cleaning regimes to keep it down. My mother is gonna have a hernia when she comes downstairs to my room and gets  a whiff of that.

Anyway without further adieu, here are some pics!

lol I would too, if I lived someplace that had rats just crawling around.
Dogs are way too much work for me, I have decided. This is gonna sound bad but I also tend to get bored of animals fairly easily, like I'm a little kid or have ADD or something. So something that lives to be 10+years old is probably not my best bet. On the other hand, a short lifespan also sucks. A while ago I kinda decided I wouldn’t get any more pets, especially ones with such a short life span (rats live 2 years on average) since I was still pretty busted up about Snicklefritz and I never wanna be that upset about an animal again. Well, so much for that----I’ve got 3 new rats AND Boomer. But its like the classic Hollywood movie about the girl who pushes men away so she doesn’t get hurt…except in this case, its animals In a career where I will probably see a few more human deaths, I think a bit of desenitization wouldn’t hurt. After all, every one I know someday will die. It's unavoidable. I need to learn to deal with it in a better way and accept it I guess. Which I will. But I’ll be damned if it happens because of me again. The opportunity was just too good to pass up though…non-black male baby ratties that were handled since birth--exactly what I always wanted!
So, here's to hoping I still play with these guys 2 years from now as much as I do now. I'll do my best.

my friend has pet rats and she lovess them
yours are cute

^ I desperately want another beagle, but my fiance has vetoed that.  He loves my dog, but he just thinks the breed is too needy.  Honestly he's right- it takes a very special personality to be able to handle a beagle.

We've pretty much decided on a miniature daschund, which we want to name Schnitzel.

^ oh i wish i had a dog! ever since i was little, i've always wanted a dog. i had imaginary dogs as friends when i was little. like the ones in enid blyton. my sort-of aunt has a hyperactive poodle who i played with for hours this summer! his name was droopy. which sounds worse in french. she named him droopy because she is part of this club that names their pets alphabetically! so she was onto d. i thought that was ridiculous but could hardly say so when she was being so nice to me all the time.

I want a dog so bad, but I have to wait until I have my own place because my mom doesn't want a dog in the house. My boyfriend has two dogs and I'm always playing with them when I go over his house. I like big dogs...I love labradors.

Sadly, I'm dreadfully allergic to cats.  My fiance was thinking of getting one because we don't currently have time for a dog.  But between my allergies and the fact that I prefer dogs, it just wasn't right for us.

I like my dogs a little smaller.  I don't care for toy dogs (too fragile and yappy), but I like them small enough that they won't bowl me over given half a chance... lol

^ Urgh, I know! People have started breeding "pocket beagles" which is just ridiculous.  They used to exist several hundred years ago but fell out of favor.  Now, they're just breeding the really sick ones to get "cuter" dogs.  Get yourself a 13" beagle- they're small enough and still damn cute.

^ Agreed.

Don't get me wrong- they're cute and all.  But they're just too damn small.  I'd be worried that I'd break them by rolling over them in bed or something.

I should kill K. It would be doing her a favour....she's always ill - and always moaning about the weather, England etc etc. All she thinks about is shopping - for ugly clothes and keeps telling me I should go to the US, not Guatemala because I could go shopping! I don't want to go shopping - I don't want things...Now she has a bad stomach - again - she is such a delicate little flower! Oh, she is a lesson to me - yesterday I felt like rabbing her by one of those 3 red hairs that grow on her head and swinging her around by them, out the window and into the canal.....
And, I want to now why women are so bitchy....I'm not, really I am not. People are always saying nasty things to me! And why do they give me advice I don't want or need? I'm thinking of dropping yet another person who has been patronising.
Now, I am thinking - seriously - of putting up my Christmas tree - and on Sunday I am going to do my cards, so I can post them when I get back from holiday on 20 December. Also, am I insane to plan a party after a 18 hour flight? My dear little tenant will help me - and I can get the presents etc before that!
