Thanks Jen, I really appreciate the thought. You're too kind.

Lisa... beautiful. Those a perfect, and I'm sure Libby and Kano are ripping and tearing up in doggy heaven somewhere.

Julie, trust me, I cried.

EVERYONE~~

I couldn't get out of getting my pet rent/deposit back. I felt completely empty looking at her crate every day, and seeing her toys. I kept wanting to take her for a walk and feed her and water her... But she wasn't there. Now, I'm one of those guys that can't cope. I just felt wrong...

So I made an adoption today.

Rory and I (for anyone who hasn't heard the Rory story, please consult Jen, as she so wisely pushed me in the right direction to woo the girl who doctored my bloody nose) went to the local shelter and I spotted and fell in love almost immediately with the most precious Rottie... She's 6 years old, and her name is Sugar. Though I don't like the name Sugar for a dog, she really is a big ol' sugar bear. Haha, she's calm, and quiet, and looooves to snuggle. She's perfect. Really. I love her already.

We happened to be dropping off some toys for Toys for Tots anyway, and with a single toy, the adoption price for a dog is only $40 instead of the regular $115. It was like a sign. I don't know.

So now at my feet is my new friend, Sugar. She's so sweet... Ugh. I can't stop talking about her! And Rory just thought she was precious too. I know that Kano can never be replaced, but she's in a fantastic place now.

omg that's amazing! Oh tons of pics of your rottie now right?! <3 I'm so happy for you and you're a doggy hero for adopting Sugar!

Oh yes, ma'am. Plenty of pictures of big ol' Sugar Mama, coming soon.

Haha, if I could, I would adopt every pup that needed a home. I just love animals and I hate to see them in cages... /:

Okay for anyone who missed what happened, I will go back a couple weeks and explain…

I had chronic bloody nose a week or two ago. And it was awful. As soon as I got back to my apartment, it started bleeding again. Annoying… It was all over my shirt, my hands my face, my folder, everything. I mean, it look like someone beat the shit out of me. Well this girl who lives in the building across from mine happened to pull up and offered to help me. She wiped my nose and stuffed it and all that amazing pre-med shit you learn to do. It was great. She did a really nice job, but my nose started bleeding while I was trying to fix myself a snack. So she cooked a small dinner for me, and left her number on my grocery list on my refrigerator.

Meanwhile, after she left, I was telling everyone on chat what happened, and Jen suggested I send her flowers. Daisies, specifically, so the next morning, I sent her daisies. Well she absolutely loved them! As it turns out, I know her roommate. We have class together. But as it turns out, her name is Rory (god I love that name) and she thinks I’m cute!!

Since then, we have been on 3 dates. Glow in the dark bowling and glow in the dark mini golf, dinner and feeding ducks at the lake, and to the animal shelter.

Definitely think she’s girlfriend material.

Challenge Issued

I really need to get a hair cut... After I've schooled you you wispy haired brat! En garde!

The real challenge here is that my webcam doesn't work. So here. This is yesterday. Look at that thick mess of golden beauty.

Look at that. Sticking up all over the damn place.

It looks like Talen is competing for Daniels adorableness status. I want to cuddle you both to death.

Self-Contradictory, Much?

This is another mini-rant, but I just wanted to get it off my chest and possibly get some feedback. I’m a little annoyed with something right now. It’s nothing too serious, just a pet peeve of mine. I’m baffled. I can’t for the life of me understand why some people find it absolutely necessary to contradict themselves, especially over something that makes them seem like a complete, idiotic asshole. Specifically when it comes to describing yourself. For example:

It bothers me that some people out there can describe themselves as being self-absorbed and make it sound like the best trait in the world. It isn’t. At least, in my opinion it isn’t. I can’t understand why anyone would want to boast about being self-absorbed. Someone please explain to be why being obsessed with yourself would make anyone more likely to want to be your friend. Let’s face it: None of us look to make friends with people who only care about themselves.

Secondly, why why WHY would you be proud of being rude and uncompromising? Why would you come right out and say, “Yeah I’m rude and self-obsessed, and I’ll sure as hell tell you that you’re helplessly stupid”? I mean, yes, there are some preeeetty stupid people in the world, but it’s not exactly something I look to confront people over.

Another thing… Why would you come right out and say that you have a particular standpoint on views and aren’t willing to listen to reason or even just listen at all? There are some things that you just believe in, like your faith, and you choose not to accept any other version of your own. That’s fine. But straight up telling people that you feel a certain way and then going out of your way to offend someone deliberately in that area is kind of screwed up. It’s like saying, “Hey I feel this way, and if you don’t you’re full of shit and I’m not interested in listening to what you have to say, so get over it.” What makes people think this is friendly?

Here’s the kicker though:

You don’t describe yourself as being all these rather awful, negative things and then declare that anyone that is “fortunate” enough to attain your friendship is truly fortunate… You’re full of crap. Sorry, but I sure as hell wouldn’t want to be anyone’s friend who freely advertises that they’re an asshole. Isn’t that a little contradictory? Oh yeah, I’m crude and harsh and self-absorbed, and it’s great, and I’m the best friend you’ll ever have!

Not. Sorry, but no. Just… no.

Please… I don’t understand what makes people think this is how you make friends and keep them. I don’t understand what makes people think this is even healthy.

Or am I wrong?
