things that are great:
-Grendel believing he is a dear little lapcat. He weighs about 90lbs, but has absolutely no idea of this fact.
-the new Homestuck single; free to stream or a freaking dollar to buy, very very pretty. (and I knew the meaning of the singer's name off the top of my head, lol elvish loanwords. The script on the album cover is also kinda obvious-injoke.)
things that are not great; MY LIFE. We may now be needing to get out of here as soon as next Tuesday and are contemplating staying with Dee down in Florida until April. I do not especially want to do this but it's feasible, cheap and I could work from there. I still don't know how the hell we are meant to get to where we want to be when no one ever ever calls/emails us back and half of them don't even pick up the goddamn phone in the first place. I just. do not know. But the worst that could happen is us being cooped up in Dee's spare room for a few months, so it is not like the end of the world or anything, just the continuation of the inexplicable suck. I should really call Ting for advice but I hate phones and I have no idea what the hell I'd even say.

If I had a spare room you guys could stay in it. :( I'm sure you would be better roommates than my current roommate. Although Mica has a real hateboner for dogs, so that could prove interesting.

;_; honestly I am a pretty tidy and easygoing roommate, but M is less so and he's a bit paranoid about housesharing with people other than me. I am looking at shares and sublets on craigslist now, but it is probably not the right solution.
(I really want to see Precious interact with a cat one day because we're so convinced she was raised by cats. She climbs on everything she can reach, tries to purr when she's happy, and has this attack-sneeze that we think is supposed to be a hiss. Bonus evidence; is totally convinced that she's god.)

Oh, the irony, because I am convinced Tob Tob is part dog. He has an unholy obsession with chewing on my shoes, drinks out of the toilet if I don't keep the lid down, and has a weird meow he uses sometimes that is kiiiinda like a bark. And even though he's male and older and has lived in this house longer, when I adopted Mica she was immediately the boss. And she's a real cat's cat, ya know? She would be the one Precious would clash with; Oz and Toby would disappear into the depths of UnderTheBed.
I need to christen my DW with a kitty poast, yes. I have 2 of them in the bed with me right now, awwe. Mica and Oz, my evil Halloween kitties (black and orange)

aww awwww there is a snoozling Grendel in my bed atm. He snores sometimes, but stops if you poke him. Mm, I have had a bit of luck in initial negotiations with people who say 'small dogs only' because at least labradors have a good reputation...and I guess most people can't tell on sight that he's crossed with something bigger and sillier (flatcoat retrievers...my old boss had several, and said that the thing about them is that they are not capable of hiding their feelings, ever). He is much more receptive to human commands than Precious, though, and more placid (unless he's really scared or something). And neither of them have ever done anything worse since we moved here than bark at maintenance or throw up on the carpet.
KITTY POAST PLS.

I GET KIND OF RAGEY ABOUT THIS, CAN YOU TELL.
Oz is declawed, and I tried to talk my grandmother out of it, but he was her cat at the time. And the stupid vet even took out his back claws! I am terrified of him getting outside. :/

Your poor dog. ;_; that is really, really not okay. some people! When Precious was found, we scoured both roadsides and Craigslist for lost dog posters for weeks but whoever lost her clearly wasn't trying too hard to get her back, and I cannot fathom that, because she really is the cutest, cuddliest little evil mastermind evar.

When my dog was lost I went knocking on stranger's doors and put up signs everywhere--and she had ID tags, too, which is another reason I'm sure she was stolen. And she was a pure bred, although I never had her registered with the AKC because I don't give a fuck. The person she belonged to gave her to me, because she kept following me home. ;___; She got excited everytime someone came in the house, but nothing like when I came home. When I went out of town for three days, my sister called me and told me that Dolly wouldn't leave my bed, and when I came home it was like she took a hit off a crack pipe, she was so happy to see me. God, I still miss her a lot--I didn't want any more pets after I lost her, until I sort of fell into taking care of Oz and Toby. And then Mica.

IT LOOKS TO ME THAT SHE IS CONFUSED AS TO HER LACK OF A STEERING WHEEL. GDI HUMANS GET IT TOGETHER.
