A great example of poetic justice, but I still keep hearing the Benny Hill theme when I read it.

My first day of the week is officially Tuesday, since I work Fridays and Saturdays... therefore the story of my weekend has yet to finish. But I've got homework to do, so that'll conclude that.

I work for a large, corporate information reproduction company ... pressing buttons for a pat on the head, and pocket change for food.

...Essentially, I am a copy-jerk.

Ick. Deer killing. Have you ever been a-huntin'? I once had an anxiety attack after stepping foot into a gun shop. It wasn't just the firearms; it was the posters of deer silhouettes with red targets painted over them, plastered all over the walls. Am I a left-wing tree-hugging animal lover? Yes.

*sigh* I'm hungry. Again. Gonna forage for s'more food... mebbe you'll have read this post by the time I come back.

Yes, I have been hunting. We were raised very poor and very much out in the country. I remember carrying a shotgun when I was five (for ducks) and have been around guns my entire life. I have never had the urge to shoot anyone, as I was raised right (a little detail that doesn't go into a lot of stories about people using guns violence).

I didn't actually deer hunt until I was grown and only once and didn't shoot at anything. It was more like armed camping.

I have shot prairie dogs... which, despite their PR, are plague carrying rodents (well, their fleas are anyway... the dogs themselves are just gross in a lot of other ways).

I like animals. I have two cats. Who are very old and very pampered. I don't equate shooting things for food with not loving animals (and I'm not saying you do, of course) ... though I don't eat prairie dogs. They're just gross.

On the plus side, I don't care whether you are a goddamn hippy... meaning, it doesn't make me love you any more or any less. I do care who you are. Besides, if everything we said; believed in; and liked and disliked matched up, it would just be jerking off.

Homework implies school, so now I'm obligated to ask you what you're studying, I suppose.

And I'm sorry I wasn't around right after you posted. We'll work on our timing biggrin

Now, I'm off to bed with my miao!! miao!! s. surreal (wink) tight and sweet dreams.
