This is the cat that I own in an alternate universe, in which I am not allergic to cats...and haven't got Dwight.


His name is Warpaint. (in my alternate universe.)
Doesn't he just look like he belongs in my life?

Personality tests are rarely complimentary. This one is no exception. I wonder why I like them so much.

Two articles on MSN today seemed to apply to me almost exactly.
The first, Aaron says, describes the way I act about Dwight perfectly. I think it does too, except I don't have an asshole husband who hates dogs and thinks it's only okay to spay girl dogs and not to neuter boy dogs (GRRR!) because of his own misplaced masculinity. It also addresses the --will I love my kids as much as my dog-- question (which I thought only I was crazy enough to think).
The second article is about this new game on Nintendo DS that Japan has made to help people refine their smiles and make them more natural looking. My entire life, I've been looking for this game! I've always thought that my facial expressions seem unnatural and I walk around quite stoic most of the time. I think it's a very Asian thing to not be in the habit of showing very much emotion, despite feeling a normal range. There've been lots of times when I've been feeling just fine and other people ask me if I'm alright since I look quite suicidal.
I think it's also a very Asian thing to want to --practice and get better!!-- at showing emotion, so as to assimilate better into Western culture. How strange.

I have used a lot of random dashes, etc. in this post to try to explain what I mean...I don't know if they work, or whether they are just confusing and wierd.

The past three days have been really fun!

1. I won an ebay auction for the new Harry Potter book, so I finally get to read it! It was only $10. Also, I found an instructable that teaches you how to make a magic wand, so I'm doing that as I read the book, too. Instead of a dragon heartstring core, I have an Aaron-hair core in my wand.
2. Me and Aaron have gone on a chinese food kick, so I am learning to make all sorts of things I used to eat as a kid. We went to the grocery store to buy cabbage and ground pork to make dumplings (urg I hate that word) with, and we both realized we didn't know what a raw cabbage looked like. Ridiculous, right?
3. While taking Dwight on a walk, we found a red eared slider turtle, and had to go down to the creek in the dark to release it.

I am dreading school. I guess it's only fair since I looked forward to it so much from K-12-college. A person can only have so much of their share of good school days. I am making up for it all now. For every inch of misery that I didn't feel on the last day of summer in my first 22 years of life, I am feeling it now.
Though there may be a trip to Graceland before the summer is entirely over...though part of me just wants to lounge with my boy and my dog for as long as possible.
