Politically Correct Cats

My cat does not break things, she helps gravity do its job.

My cat is not a bed hog, she is a mattress appreciator.

My cat is not hydrophobic, she has an inability to appreciate moisture.

My cat does not scratch, she is a furniture/rug/skin ventilator.

My cat does not fear dogs, they are merely sprint practice tools.

My cat is not a pest, she is attention deprived.

My cat is not a ruthless hunter, she is a wildlife control expert.

My cat is not underfoot, she is shepherding me to my next destination (the food dish).

How Obsessive Are You Over Buffy?
brought to you by Quizilla

This is probably right in describing me. I *have* to share a couple of the other possible results, (cut-tag used if you're tired of pics).

Writing, take 3

I've wanted to be a writer since I was small. I didn't pursue it because I was told it wasn't practical, it wouldn't pay the mortgage, and who would want to read anything I wrote anyway?

I want to write. I want to create other worlds that people can come visit. Worlds that reflect life the way I know it and life the way I'd like it to be.

I fear writing because, well, I fear. I'm human! I fear change, I fear being different, I fear that if I'm not wearing a mask that society likes and approves of then something terribly terribly bad will happen. I also feel guilt and shame about writing.

These feelings don't change the fact that I want to write or that I can choose to write. They just make writing feel really bad. They make it real easy for me to find excuses for not writing, and to blame other people for me not writing.

But, I don't have to be mastered by my emotions. They aren't stopping me -- unless I let them stop me. Nothing can stop me from being a writer, except myself.

In the end, it's what I want (and what I think I actually need to be happy with myself) vs my fears.

I'm in love

I just have to say, I love my little water boiler. With it and my 1-cup capacity french press, I am happily sipping nice hot coffee with no repeats of the coffeemaker fiasco.
