katz- Thank you! I will check that out. I have a soft spot for Siamese kitties. I used to have the most awesome Siamese. I miss her everyday.

Just about every kitty the conversation turns to, or that I see on the interwebs – Siamese, marmies, black cats, tabbies – I think I WANT ONE OF THOSE. In reality I want all of them but I can’t have any, we can only have two at a time.

Kitteh, I throw a tantrum everyday because I’ve been without my own cat since high school. I’m almost there, though. Once me and my husband move out within the next or so I can finally have my cat. But everyday is an agonizing reminder that I am not subjugated by a furry overlord.

HUGs for catlessness, redpoppy! That is major suckage. I hope you and husband can move to a suitable residence for a Furrinati or two, soonest.

At least I get to see all the little overlords across the veil at night, and see how thoroughly they have subjugated Mr K. Furrinati power works everywhere.

Kitteh, yes indeed it does. I hope to have two types of furry overlords. A very special kitty and a very special pug puppy. I like smooshed faced dogs because I’m ridiculous. Hehehe. I hope to integrate them well and have them be overlord BFFs.

Are they your Furrinati overlords having to live elsewhere, redpoppy?

I got a couple of pics done tonight:

Breakfast newspaper

Kitty cuddles

(not actually one of our kitties, but finding suitable man-cuddling-kitties pics on the net isn’t all that easy)

So, I use craigslist as a place to vent my spleen and generally troll. It’s not a productive but the responses I get are really, REALLY funny. I recently asked on the women seeking women board whether lesbians are real because the only women positing there are explicit they’re in it for their boyfriend/husband and he will be participating because it’s not like they’re seeking a human being with needs; they need a prop to get their man off! Gross. And most of the responses I got were from women wanting to involve their male partners….

Anyways, I grumble about all KINDS of things on the women seeking men board because I know the dudeliest of bros will respond and hilarity will ensue. The other day my chief complaints were “Y U NO TELL ME U MARRIED” and “Actually telling girls you don’t want to see them again: a novel alternative to the silent treatment”. These have been my recent experiences with boys SO I was engaging in snark, finding humour, dealing with my frustration in a manner that brought me a little joy.

You guys are going to fucking love this paternalistic ‘splainy turd of a response:

“So you say you attract shitty relationships into your self?
Do you want to figure out what it is that you are doing to draw these kind I people in your life?
Welcome to the lifelong journey of “self knowledge”.
Philosophy is your new thing.
I have found great benefit from Stefan Molyneux on YouTube.”

ZOFL!

(BTDubz, I NEVAR said I attracted shitty relationships. I outlined a couple of prominent trends in men who hit on me.)

In MRAland, bad relationships are always the woman’s fault.

Lost a bet with a good friend.

Spending the weekend with the youth liberal party of Denmark. Nice people, but my god. So. Many. Racist. Jokes.

Also just drunk. But that’s Denmark.

I’d argue the first line is also ‘that’s Denmark’, from my experience. But that may be a distorted media picture, I don’t know too many Danes…

Oh, and I have failed in my sacrifices to the blockquote mammoth. The two first lines in the previous post was meant to quote Fibinachi.

Blahlistic, from what I’ve read, some (emphasis *some*) Ukrainians saw the German invasion as a way to get out from under the USSR. The Holodomor had something to do with that. To a certain extent, all the European countries Germany invaded had local Fascist parties who worked with them, as well as Communist parties working against them. The NKVD worked very hard to find everyone in the first category after the war.

kitteh, no I haven’t been able to own my own pets in years. Sad as it is. One day I will get a pug and a kitty and my life will be filled with never ending adorable subjugation!

Hallo everyone!

So far, I’ve got three people with some interest in another Go teaching thing (link to previous comment with details). With the current peeps, it looks like something around 10pm EST on Saturday might work out. I’ll be running with that for now, but definitely let me know if you want to join the fun and I could try to rework the timing.

Hooray Go!

“I have found great benefit from Stefan Molyneux on YouTube” was the line that really sold me on that guy’s megadouche status. It also brought me many rofls.
