When my kitty was young, she stole one of my plush animals... And though the toy was larger than the kitten,it became hers, and for ease of naming it we always called it kittie's dolphin. Now, three or four years later, dolphin is still one of her favorite toys and the poor thing looks like it's been through a war.

Sitting here on the computer this morning, I hear a strangled cry and kitty is carrying dolphin and sets it down at my feet. She sets beside it and looks up at me with this horrible hurt look... upon picking up dolphin I find a large hole tore in her back, just after the dorsal fin and lots of stuffing hanging out.

I run and get my sewing kit and take a minute to patch dolphin back up. Kitty is now romping abotu the house, carrying her dolpin everywhere...

This is who I come home to at night...
I love my cat.

I had a really strange dream last night...
too many details to repeat, but essentially I was told to fucking get over it already and quit bitching and maybe I just might find that I like it... (not in those words)

And I just took a cowboy - knight - pireate- Ninja test on OKCupid... I'm overwhemingly a pirate. (I hope the ninja group doesn't kick me out for this...)

a Pirate
You scored 5 Honor, 1 Justice, 4 Adventure, and 14 Individuality!
Arr matey. You may belive in honor, and justice, and you certainly have a sense of adventure. But mostly, you play by your own rules. Your code is your own and you are flexible in most situations.
Dress flamboyant and look into a parrot. I think you'll do fine.

( You scored higher than 13% on Ninjinuity
You scored higher than 0% on Knightlyness
You scored higher than 9% on Cowboiosity
You scored higher than 99% on Piratical Bent )

(This would probally explain why I want to go back to the shores so friggin badly.)


Findout how you score here

guess I'm a Cowboy!

a Cowboy
You scored 6 Honor, 3 Justice, 9 Adventure, and 5 Individuality!
Well pardner, the thing that drives you is a sense of adventure. You're willing to play by the rules, but only so long as you've got open territory to cover and new frontiers to explore. You don't need much and you don't ask much.
Strap on your six gun and wear your Stetson proud. I think you'll do just fine

I love the story about your kitty and her dolphin. That fucking rocks my heart. I guess I like it when such a classically detached species shows a streak of attachment to something (a bit like the same way i like dogs who display some serious independence). This is part of why I like cats who are big talkers, who occasionally take a lot of interest in communicating with people. A long time friend of mine has a very very old cat named Ginger. Ginger is amazing - she lives more in her-own-little-world than any other cat I have ever met - she doesnt even like to be seen by human beings. But then she has these spells where she'll urgently reappear - but just to talk - from a few yards away - as if she, concernedly, needs to confirm that human beings still exist, or maybe its even as if she needs to confirm for herself that she is still capable of interacting with human beings, to confirm that she and they still occupy the same dimension, to confirm that she can indeed still be physically seen and heard by human beings - her family has learned to talk to her in that way - 'yes, Ginger we see you. yes, Ginger, you're here, we're here.' - content with the confirmation, Ginger disappears again - i think she has always lived a very fulfilling and fascinated life. I had strange dreams about cats last night, or, rather, dreams about strange cats. I think sewing is cool - I dont sew - but I think its very cool.
