Re: Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable, pt B
Lunchbox:
What I have learned lately is that Dads are people too. He's probably scared and kind of questioning what he should be doing right now! I wish him good luck, anyway.
The past couple of weeks have been pretty great, Blog Thread. I have a lovely new boy and I still get wibbly in the tummy and go all shy and giggly when I'm around him. I am pretty hopeless, really. We spent all weekend together which was very nice, just sort of hanging out and wandering around the beach and watchin' nerdy DVDs and playing Guitar Hero (Supposedly actual guitarists are just as bad as regular non-musical people the first time they play Guitar Hero? This is lies. After he did okay on his first song we made him play Through The Fire and Flames and the cheeky bugger got 90%).
This week is the last week of work before we have two weeks off for the holidays and the three of us at the shop cannot wait. Today it was pretty dead so we just stood around and read the paper and cleaned a couple of things and drank lots of coffee and invented tasty things to eat. Customers have started giving us Christmas cards and candycanes and chocolates and home-made cookies so we eat those too. Our Christmas party is on the weekend and it will involve karaoke, hot tubs, korean bbq, and lots of alcohol. I am excited for it, even if I know my boss is going to be dumb and make lewd comments about the fact that I will be wearing a dress. (He is my boss and he is great, he is just a horribly dirty man.)
After that I suppose I will be meandering on back to Newcastle to spend Christmas with my family, and then after that back up the coast so I can spend lots of time with the new boy and make him hideously sick of me. Hooray!
Gemmwah:
So one of my cats disappeared on Sunday, and we were all really worried about him, hoping that he was somewhere warm and safe and somebody had just taken him in because they thought it'd be nice to keep someone else's friendly little cat. Sadly, that was not the case. My neighbour came and told me they'd found him, so I trekked with her through mud to where he is, took his collar, and came home. He'd been hit by a car, and it looks like somebody had tried to patch him up with a bit of cloth or something. I don't want to leave him there because it's cold outside and I know the cold won't hurt him now but I guess I still want him to come home safe. I just wish I'd given him more cuddles, and that he hadn't wandered off.
He was only just over a year old, and he was the nicest cat I've ever had. :(
KvP:
I'm sorry Gemm :(
Dazed:
Sorry about your cat :-(
So speaking of, dear blog thread,
Yesterday I drove my friend out to Western Mass to pick up a kitten. It cried pretty much the entire car ride back, but once we got back into the city, and especially into her apartment, the little guy calmed down a lot, and he seemed really content and playful. Also, managed to confess my crush on said friend without destroying our friendship, but looks like nothing further will come of it. That was expected though; anyway, kitten is terribly, terribly adorable.

Dearest Blog Thread,
FUCK YEEEAHH MOUNTAIN GOOOATS!
John was sick though! He sang a half set of acoustic old songs and got Peter to sing a few of the rockier ones. Then just got the crowd to yell the lyrics for this year and No Children.
it was so so so so so good. And he promised that next time he comes he is giving us two solid hours of 'stompin and hollerin'. also assless pants apparently.
Arrgghhh so goooood <3 John Darnielle
(Also I didn't see Loxley because my friend Philip purposely distracted me every time he saw him. I did spend most of the set on constant panicky edge though!)
