JPMetz, I love you.

I have gotten into the habit of taking Soren to my class every now and then. He is the most social one of the group so I figured he'd handle it better than the others. Well, I took him to class today, and of course everyone wanted to see him, touch him, or hold him. I knew he was nervous but he wasn't being too much of a fusser. Until one of the students suggested putting him on the table. I didn't much want to because he's not done training yet so if he ran off I'd have to catch him rather than him come to me. But there wasn't very many places to go, so I set him down. I didn't have to worry. The minute he was on the table he tried to climb up my pants. I tried to leave the table, he tried to literally jump off after me. I sat down, he crawled onto my lap and that's were he stayed. You'll never understand how much that meant to me. I know my rats love me in their own little ratty way because I provide for them. But I didn't know they trusted me so much. That I really was a safe place for them. I really can't express how touched I felt to watch Soren reach out to me. I think I could have cried. That was it. They're my boys.

Oh, and yeah, the picture up there is my little Soren.

Rockabye.

Uh, Nothing Has Been Up There Since My Finger.

So my rat Eros decided it was appropriate to stick his nose UP my nose... Now I am eating their carrots. That's what they get.

You thought this was going to be a perverted entry, didn't you? Sicko.

Sometimes That's All You Need.

Recently I got an internship for graphic design, at a pretty good company(I aint tellin'). I was really nervous since I am technically a small town girl and this place is legit, meaning intimidating. But this school year has already been pretty eventful. I have decided that I absolutely love what I do. I knew I loved it, I mean, it's something I am good at and work at, but I love it so much that I was in that company and even though I was nervous and overwhelmed I felt like I should be there. I just knew for absolute certainty that this is what I want to do. And my program director at college told me she wasn't surprised. She said she knew I'd do a good job and wouldn't let her down and that that was were I should be. Which made me extremely giddy happy. It's good when people believe in you, it makes you want to live up to it.

My Sister Is Full Of...

My sister has given me some of the best advice I have ever had growing up. Whether she knows it or not the things she has said to me have continued to be a large part of how I go through life and understand it. Some words from my sister:

Don't care what anyone else thinks about you because they don't matter. What matters is what you think of yourself. Because everyone else comes and goes. The only person you have to live with or look at for the rest of your life is yourself. So you better like that person.

Instead of being upset and struggling, make a choice. Make a choice and go with it. Don't care about how it is going to affect so and so. Make a choice.

GAHAHAHAHA!

Not a very creative title of one of my blog posts, but I can't describe it any other way. I recently put this as my facebook status:

Dear Facebook and Myspace,

Is the whole pouty, kiss face thing over with yet? I thought it was and I'd like it to be.

Sincerely,

Are You Serious? I Would Not Kiss That

Suzie Q then sent me this:

It's freakin' catchy okay!

Made my day, while also making me laugh out loud in the middle of class.

Also, 0:14...girl on the right...what the fuck were you thinking with that tan...?

And 0:54? Really? Lets be honest here, I noticed her bikini before I even noticed her face.

Yeah, I Like Laughing For Realsies.

It's friday! Batman came to caz to hang with some friends and stopped by to give me a bag filled with awesome. What is this awesome I speak of? SHIRTS!! Awesome graphic guy shirts! There is Flash, Ghost Busters, Spiderman, Lucky Charms, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, you name it it's probably in there. Highlight of today. Then he showed me this:

Go Away

It's a website by a graphic design artist with, shall I say, the greatest amount of intelligent, cynical sarcasm. You'll have to visit it yourself to understand it. Basically, it's Batman, if he was older with a kid.
