Break me down, you've got a lovely face

That would be my baby puppy. Except he's a little over a year old now.

It's funny how it happened. We got Tommy and Molly at about the same time, then suddenly within the span of about four months, we got two kittens, got rid of one, got another one, and gained a puppy.

So now we're animal people. Biscuit's sitting on my lap right now and is intently focusing on keeping my toes warm. Or not. But inadvertantly he is.

I got some great cheekiness in my peer review today. Of course I got lots of praise for my use of quotage, but my favourite line from the whole thing would have to be this;

"Writing is a bit ungraceful, weak, and a little lame."

Lame. What a great word. I wonder what my favourite word is. I don't know if I really have one. I suppose that's okay though. My kitty's nose is so cold it's making my arm condense. Or whatever. Yanno when you have a cold water outside in a glass there's condensation on the glass? Yeah. Kitty's nose is condensing on my arm. It's kind of weird feeling. I wonder if I'm the only one who gets a tissue and wipes his nose when it's running. Probably so but I bet I'm not the only one who doesn't want to be smothered in kitty snot.

I have this problem of staying up past 1AM to read books. My mother says I need to cut back. I say never!

Nevverrrrr.

Edit: For Mr. Hill if he reads it: I LOOKED UP THE QUOTE FROM LEAVES OF GRASS. ... or Song of Myself, which is where I found it. Anyways. I LOVE IT. So I've put it here for everyone to read.

The past and present wilt--I have fill'd them, emptied them.
And proceed to fill my next fold of the future.
Listener up there! what have you to confide to me? Look in my face while I snuff the sidle of evening,
(Talk honestly, no one else hears you, and I stay only a minute longer.)

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

I concentrate toward them that are nigh, I wait on the door-slab.

Who has done his day's work? who will soonest be through with his supper?
Who wishes to walk with me?

Will you speak before I am gone? will you prove already too late?
