One of my pet rats (the current oldest) died today, and I took him out to bury him. I figured I'd put the grave near the site of the last one I buried, but when I got out there, I found that the loose dirt in that grave was removed and the hole was empty. That's never happened before. o_0 I guess a fox or something made off with the body. In any case, it saved me from having to dig in dry clay. I put the newly deceased into the empty hole and covered him with soil. At first, I thought it should bother me, but it makes no difference how a body is going to re-enter nature's cycle. Is a fox any less noble than worms and insects?
Anyway, I joked that if this body vanishes, we'll just reuse the same hole in the future – like a sacrificial altar to the forest spirit. (I also joked that perhaps it wasn't a predator at all, but the empty tomb was a sign of the second coming of rat Jesus…)

Whenever I bury a beloved pet in the backyard, I tend to put a pile of stones on top. This discourages the local dogs from digging up the corpse. However, there was one dog who dug under the stones in hopes of having them fall away from what was underneath, so I put enough dirt to cover up the thing, put some plywood on top, cover the rest up with dirt and THEN put rocks on top.
I also joked that perhaps it wasn't a predator at all, but the empty tomb was a sign of the second coming of rat Jesus…Or a Zombie rat!!!! O_o
That's very sad though. Poor old rat. :(
There're a couple of wild rats living in my back garden at the moment. They're canny enough to stay away from my cat, which I'm glad about in their case because they're cute. Cloudy grey brown with white bellies, a reasonable size too. They live in a spot where the puss can't get them, right above where I feed him as it happens so when he's away they can steal his food.
I know he'll get them eventually though… Rats are crafty, but sometimes a little dim. Not quite as alert or aware about their surroundings as cats are. Not the same instincts for silence and hiding. Not until it's almost too late anyway.

I'm going to the dentist after work… In about 3 hours time. -_-
There's a sharp bit on the tooth that got fixed last year. Either something else broke off of it, or a bit of the filling broke away, I don't know for sure. Either way a I relish neither the coming experience nor the expense.
We have a place on our yard under a huge true were all the animals are buried, sassy, moms old dog from before i was born, 2 chickens, 2 poor poor stillborn kittens :( and that shitty turtle are buried there. Never had any of them dug up thankfully.
When laylay dies I'm gonna either get her a real coffin and big hedge stone, or have her ashes turned into a ring. I wanna do the ring but i think it would just make me cry all the time.
Im getting unexplained mood swings. They are non-destructive though.
For instance I feel horny out of the blue. But when I look at pron (it doesnt matter what it is. Could be a real girl or a hentai or something I drawn and I'm not gay either), I just get a headache that originates somewhere in the middle inside of my head. Then I close my eyes and see flickering lights. My hands also get this electrical feeling going on.
And then I get depressed for around 5 seconds then it shifts to happiness. Happy. Then sad. Then happy again. Then when i realize it, I'm back to normal. For no reason or trigger whatsoever.
I also can't get pissed off anymore and all angsty and such. That even when I try to write a script and try to internalize the angst feelings of a character I can't do that no more.
I can't get pissed off anymore. People at work who I used to get annoyed at. It doesn't matter anymore. It all feels so pointless to get pissed off over small things.
Even when I see a cop. I can't get pissed off anymore. I'd normally get pissed off at the mere sight of a cop. Now I can only get pissed off on big issues like how the whole of humanity is headed towards the direction of global enslavement. Even though, I'd not get into it like Alex Jones does—angry and screaming and all that. I can get into those issues in an almost joking sarcastic manner. Not in an ignorant yuppie way… but with care for the world in my heart. Its hard to explain.
I'd normally get horny looking at porn or some hot girl. Even if you're unusually hot the most you'll do to me is get me to look at you and feel horny for about 10 seconds then I just move on and I don't care. Even if you get totally naked in front of me I just don't care anymore and it feels like it doesn't matter anymore.
I'm not getting depressed or feeling negative either. It looks insane trying to think about it. That a few years ago I can walk around thinking of a million hateful things and fantasizing about shooting up a school like Harris, Dylan, and Cho Seung Hui. No more demonic voice in my head telling me to hate hate hate everything and kill everything then kill myself. That a few years ago I can write paragraph after paragraph after paragraph talking about how much life sucks and how I hate myself and I want to die.
But now I feel more clarity than ever.
And my right eye that normally gets painful and watery and swells up red… it doesn't happen anymore. My right eye is healthy. So is the rest of my body that I only need 6 hours of sleep in order to function properly the next day.
And I can't eat meat anymore unless its halal or organic. And if I do eat meat its only once a day or once every other day.
This stuff I'm typing probably doesn't make any sense to you.
But this is real.
The awakening is happening and as time goes by, more and more people wake up as this planet moves into a higher vibrational state of consciousness.
It is inevitable. No matter how much fluoride, GMO foods, vaccinations, chemtrails, media brainwashing, etc. that the illuminati try to pull off. I see failure in their plan to eventually put the chip into all humans on earth. The mark of the beast is dead on arrival. Humanity in its quest and desire for freedom and happiness will succeed in the end.
When you shine a light in a dark room, the light fills the room. The darkness doesn't engulf the light. The light will emerge victorious.
I know you'll call me "nutjob" or "crazy" or "batshit fucking insane" or whatever words you will come up with to describe my apparent "insanity".
But I don't care anymore.
Thanks for reading this and have a nice day.
I'm just going to have to try and exercise self restraint from now on.Please do because you're already starting to make the admins a little suspicious. :]
I really don't want to go to work today, but I promised someone I'd come to their office get-together thingy. I suppose if I wasn't going to it I'd be sleeping in til 10 and not doing anything til 1, which is about when I'll be getting back from work. So I suppose all I'd gain by not having to work would be 3 hours sleep and an eighth tank of gas… hey :[
I just had the equivalent of turning a corner and running into an old friend on facebook. I thought she was avoiding me, because she never responded to messages and whatnot, but I suppose I was wrong. I'm still not entirely sure what to think of it, whether it's good to hear from her again or if I'd rather just leave it.
It's kind of weird to me, that when I run into people I used to know, no matter how much I might have liked them or how well I knew them in the past, there's just a part of me that doesn't like the idea of these people coming back into my life again. Even if I have no reason to want it that way.
I am back from the dentist now.
They attacked my mouf wif needles and drills. aaaarrrgggleeeee!!!!!
It's ok though. The tooth lady was competent and gentle. But I %$##ing HATE needles, especially in my MOUTH! It's numb now… And I am only $194 or so poorer because of health insurance etc instead of the full amount, which was rather an annoying one.
%$#ing teeth!
But to kill time waiting for the train home I went to look at the shops… Saw a lovely big screen LED TV that was so nice and thin. Dammit! I want it. But I just bought a big TV 6 months ago…
My sister will gladly take my current one.
WANT.
Bugger it. I will get it. But I will wait a few weeks to see if I can get it cheaper. A thinner one will be better for wall and the LEDs use less power anyway.
So i sketched all these cute creatures and i'm in the process of inking and coloring some now. I'm not sure what to do with them really, maybe I'll try to find someone who can program a flash rpg and i can do the art
….yeah that'll never happen, but I like to what-if.
*plays mother3*
I dunno what it is, but my dog has got The Farts ™ the last 3 days. Usually she never farts (that is part of what makes her the perfect dog) but I guess she ate something maybe in the yard? I dunno. But she better knock it off soon before our trip next week because there will be a lot of car travel. T_T
Oz: Quit spendin' money!

Even if I have no reason to want it that way.I'm with you, I really don't like my past coming back. I'm not sure why- sometimes it's because I feel like I had an embarassing past (even if I didn't), usually it's just a sense that, well, that was then and this is now and I don't like to mix then and now.
So mom left me money for food this weekend but i think i'm gonna buy a yellow lego beach house playset instead.
….
I-i think i'm trying to grasp what fleeting bits of my youth i have left, which is why i'm drawing dragons and other juvenile shit while getting excited about legos i haven't seen in years.
I'll be 20 friggin years old next year, and i've finally picked out my career goal and have a clear adult future, my metabolism is slowing down, and i'm starting to get fine lines in the place your mouth indents when you smile.
I wish MJ would have taken me to never-never land ;-; Age is scary waaah
The wonders of my influence over people on the internet astounds me. Not only can I sell my art to people for stupid amounts of money, but I can also get them to pay me in Wonka Nerds. So that's what I'm doing. I have $160 worth of Wonka Nerds on their way to me right now.
What the hell am I doing?
On another note, I'm using my new found riches to buy some pens for colouring, but I don't know where to begin. Damnit!
I-i think i'm trying to grasp what fleeting bits of my youth i have left, which is why i'm drawing dragons and other juvenile shit while getting excited about legos i haven't seen in years.Man, somewhere in the future, your 40 year old self wants to strangle you so badly right now. ;)

another day closer to the grave.
enjoy it while you can.
this reminds me when I was about 12, I made a wish at a fairground fortune telling machine to be "big". I woke up the following morning to find that my wish had been granted and my body had grown older over night. But I was still the same 12 year old kid on the inside. I had to learn how to cope with the unfamiliar world of grown ups including getting a job, and having my first romantic encounter with a woman. Also I was a toy tester and had this dance number with this really old guy on this huge piano. What a summer that was! Being a grown isn't what its cracked up to be!
so i started making an amv 4 hours ago, but what really happened is i started watching the episodes that i wanted to put in it. damnit.
——-
GYAH!! i had at least been adding episodes to it, and then a storm approaches, so i was like i better save it before power goes out…and then i opened it up, and it had frozen up!!
but with sheer will power and determination, i made it start responding. then i promptly saved it.
————-
i'm also learning a great deal about how the fox plays into japanese myth, and from there, all the attributes that Naruto has.
I-i think i'm trying to grasp what fleeting bits of my youth i have left, which is why i'm drawing dragons and other juvenile shit while getting excited about legos i haven't seen in years.Actually, being older means that you have more time, money, and freedom to do whatever it is you want. So lego or whatever, it's up to you, just do it.
Everything is better while a little tipsy. :)
Hooray for alcohol!
And hooray for browser spell checkers without which I can never spell alcohol!
as i haven't drank in quiet some time, i dont see what the big deal about alcohol is. okay, i'm lying but i'm still partying, just without it. so far i've stayed true to my new years resolution.
———————-
i was going to run the PAST today, but they had the pool closed for today only. so i ran 4 miles at slightly quicker than average pace (about 12 seconds) and then did a series of pullups-pushups. 1 pullup 3 pushups, 2 and then 6, etc. till five, then back down. i'm feeling really good.
anyone wanna visit for some burgers and brats?
Happy 4th of July everyone!
Overall, the past two days have been great. Yesterday, I woke up early to go fishing with my dad, which, surprisingly went awesome! I usually don't get along very well with my dad, but now we're really good friends. It's kind of cool. I told him all about what I want to do with my life, the girl, and everything. Maybe that's what I needed all along. To bond with my dad.
Anyway, things with the girl are going great. Almost been 2 weeks, and nothing bad has happened. I'm a little suspicious, she seems too amazing…I'll have to make note of that.
In other news, I dyed my hair black again, and I'm growing my hair back out. I hate my short used-to-be-blonde hair. It just doesn't look good on me. But I've been called gorgeous with long black hair. Coincidence? Luck? I think not.
I also went for a run yesterday. Running outside is so good.
And uh, I decided to keep doing my comic. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've restarted, started, stopped, and all of that, doing my comic. Luckily, I didn't throw anything away.
I suppose, I'll just practice on the side.
And I hate Posemaniacs! It gives me all of these incredibly complicated poses, when I'm so terrible, I can't even draw a basic pose! WTF.
Also, I need to make note to learn how to draw people's heads/faces.
But, I'm trying. I'm trying really hard.
