Not sure what it is, but I keep wavering between "hmph," "woe," and "RAWR, DAMMIT" today. Before work - fine. At work - rage. Hmm. Correlation?

Ooooh. You ever have someone randomly tell you, "Smile!"? My response right now would be "I WILL CUT YOU!" (Any other time it would simply be, "Heh heh. *puts person on mental shit list for all of time*," because telling someone to smile is just SO incredibly rude.)

And due to discussion with manticoran, I decided that instead of wanting a cat, I really need a grandcat. One I can pet and drive into a frenzy, and then send home. I don't remember who it was on my flist, but recently someone posted about waking up to the sound of their cat puking on their bed. It was at that point I decided I would NEVER BE GETTING A CAT.

Heh. You and me both.

Of course, mine is more having-to-deal-with-the-school-system-RAWR but I'm with you.

*passes booze*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Your school system is *messed up.* I wouldn't trade my rawr for yours for the world.

OMG. Can I...can I steal that icon? *pleads*

You know, I've had days at work where I had a headache and was grumpy as all get out... and then I got home and the headache mysteriously disappeared. Where previously the painkillers didn't touch it. Coincidence? I think not. Work is bad. *nods*

I really don't like it when people tell random strangers to smile. My usual reaction is to think, "I'll smile if I damn well want to. GRAR."

Totally bad. Bah.

It's just so...RUDE. It really, really is.

Wise move (no getting cat) - they not only do that on beds, but under them in places you can't easily get to, as well as others that you step right into... I am biased though. I have never been a cat person but stupidly agreed to take care of then-boyfriend's cat while he was away at school. Three months later, I packed said-cat into travel carrier and took it back to him. Pets in general really are your small children - messy, must be fed & groomed, shots, all that... expensive too.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Heh heh. Yeah, there's always the expense. Actually, I've always been a dog person (having had dogs) but you can't leave a dog inside a house for 12 hours alone. Cats - no problem. Maybe I need fish.

I dunno, I personally love my cat, and put up with her issues (and issues she has got; bad kidneys and a thyroid condtion, for a start) because I get cuddle-time and a heater-cat at night. She's a good old lady cat, and not too much of a bother at all. <3

[ivydoor.livejournal.com]

Those are the types of cats to get. Older ones from a shelter that will appreciate a fluffy bed and lots of cuddles.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Cuddle-time would be the best thing about a kitty. Plus entertainment! I need a robot cat or something. :D

While I totally get random people telling you to cheer up, I'm going to defend owning a cat. I've been a life-long cat owner. My current cat is the light of my life (her birthday is tomorrow and no, she won't be having a party or getting presents. she'll be picked up and I'll say, "Happy Birthday, Allie." and that's that.)

I've also owned a dog in my life and to me, cats are it. They are low maintence. Fluffy. Knows when you need comfort, (seriously, when I'm upset or in pain, Allie will curl up next to me and purr).

I am a cat person without shame and can't comprehend why everyone else isn't.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

(seriously, when I'm upset or in pain, Allie will curl up next to me and purr).

Oh...that right there has made me sniffle. Seriously.

(I'm telling you - hmph, woe, rage...)

Just be glad you're not English, or you'd probably get your fair share of erstwhile clever people trying to sing Monty Python at you.

Having pets is definitely like having kids - dogs are like small children, and cats are like teenagers. Yes, I too have been woken by Ansel (the grey one) hairballing on the bed, but I wouldn't trade 'em in for a hamster or a fish, that's fo sho.

Whenever I'm told to smile (which is a lot 'cause apparently thinky face is much like miserable cow face) I say someone's just died, even if it's not true, just for the look on the muppet who told me to cheer up's face. Tis quality *nod*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's CLASSIC. Might have to remember that one. :D

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

I am a great humanitarian, so I will not simply leave a comment that says: "SMILE!" even though I very much want to. *pats self on back*

(Also: cats are evil. *NODS*)

Cats ARE evil. However, are also cuddly. Sorta like Daleks.

Oh, dude. The smile thing is cause for IMMEDIATE DEATH. From above or below or whatever. Also, the only cat I ever had that yakked on the floor on a regular basis is the one I have now, because she bolts her food like a starving Belgian. The entertainment value is worth it, though.

It hasn't happened to me in a while, but it seems like it's an older generation thing. Or maybe they know they can get away with it since slapping the crap out of an octogenarian is uncool.

Silly kitty. And I have never heard that phrase before. :D (Of course, I'd never heard the "burns like a thousand nuns" one before either.)

And suddenly I'm craving Belgian Waffles.

The entertainment value is worth it, though.

I'm thinking entertainment would be very high.

[burtonworshiper.livejournal.com]

I hate the smiling thing. I hate it I hate it I hate it. Honestly, if I felt like smiling, I would dammit! And obviously, I don't! So bug off!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yup.

"Hey! Fake being happy because I wanna see it!"

"Uh, no. Bite me."

[misssara11.livejournal.com]

I just found this and thought of you (especially at the end).

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Awwww! Creepy kitty! Which is half-tempting to get... :D

[ninamazing.livejournal.com]

Sounds like SOMEONE'S got a case of the MONDAYS!

(God I hope you've seen that movie.)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Office Space!!

[solielle.livejournal.com]

That's an irritating thing about waiting tables. You're supposed to smile, so you can't go for your immediate reaction, which is of course, "I will cut you."

Smiling takes effort, people. I'd rather burn that energy on something else.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Oh man. I would just not last long in any kind of service industry.

I don't remember who it was on my flist, but recently someone posted about waking up to the sound of their cat puking on their bed. It was at that point I decided I would NEVER BE GETTING A CAT.

That may have been me, since that happened to me a few weeks ago.

Fortunately, she doesn't do that often, and as stated, I keep a spare blanket as the top layer - mostly for weight reasons - so she did no damage to the comforter or my duvet cover.

That said, I've kinda gotten used to falling asleep with her tangled in my legs. And hey, at least she doesn't wake me at 3am because she has to go outside in the [insert bad weather of choice here] to pee. ;)

[velvet4269.livejournal.com]

Oh, and hey ... my cat plays fetch, chases her own tail, and curls up in spiffy cute balls because she knows she's adorable. No, really, she does. Of course, I'm the first to admit, she's exceptionally psychotic, and has some very odd habits, but for the most part, she's pretty low maintenance.

I'm Surprised

[velvet4269.livejournal.com]

You haven't commented on this yet.

Re: I'm Surprised

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Oh, someone on the flist posted about that and I was wondering what kind of crack the book-makers are on. Doesn't he have to do the next 25 HP movies or something? (And besides...no. Heh.)
