For a very small kitten, Grace has sharp teeth...

She's sweet, and loves string, but she accidentally got my bare toe. Ouchies! And her little claws aren't exactly blunt, either.
I hope Poe and Mousey will like her soon, and forgive me. But who can resist tiny kittens in a box, under a little cover to protect them from the wind and rain? With their squeaky mews and big eyes and soft warm little bodies vibrating in your arms...and the way your heart tears in half when you have to put it back in the box and walk away, and it puts its paws on the side and mews after you...gah! I wish I could have had them all! Soooo cute!
Okay...I think you should all accept that Grace is pretty much all I will be talking about for at least a week. If you think it's stupid, then you're just jealous. Poo!

On a different note, only 19 days of summer school left. Hey, does anyone else notice that the initials are "S.S."? Coincidence? I think not! It's all a conspiracy!

Oh, hello Mousey. Love?
*hiss*
Guess not...
I got a kitten!

Oh, joyous day! We went to the farmers market in Millerville, and there where a whole bunch of different familes with kittens. My mom, sister, and myself just melted. They were all so adorable! Mom said we couldn't have one, and I very nearly cried. We went around the market, and it was pretty good, but I couldn't stop thinking about all the kittens. What would happen if they didn't find homes? So on the way out, we stopped and looked at them again. There were some little girls, with a big tub with about five or six kittens. Some were long hairs, and there were two identical ones with champaigne fur and blue eyes. The girls were selling them for five dollars, but the kittens were too young, and mom said if we were to get one, they needed to be a little bit older. She said we would look at the other ones, and see. There was a dog-carrier with them in it, but they had literally just come off weening. They were cute, but too tiny. Poe and Mousey would kill them in an instant. Finally we got to the family that were giving them away for free. When we came in, they were the first bunch we saw, and there were...four, I think. There were only two left. A black male, and a brown tabby female. I was holding the tabby, and Mom was asking the woman who owned them a few questions. She came over, and I handed the kitten to her. Mom adores cats. She says she's gonna be one of those women who have thirty cats when she's old, she loves them that much. She held the quivering little furry ball, looked at me, and said "Sold." I took her back, and told the woman and her teenage daughter we would take her. The woman was pleased. There was only one left, the black one, but I knew he would find a home.
The poor kitty (Meagan suggested the name Grace, and we all liked it) was petrified on the way home, sitting in my lap, twitching. She's a little timid, probably because she has been handled by people all day. I suppose lots of children pulled on their tails and ears. But she is sweet and small, and very cute. Poe and Mousey aren't too happy, but they'll get used to her. She's a tabby, like Poe, but Poe is black and gray. Grace is brownish gray with black. A white chin, and white around her eyes. Her chest and stomach are also white, striped with black. She has brown eyes. I love her to bits. She's sleeping under the couch at the moment.
Dude...I love her.

Stiff Neck

Fell asleep on the couch, with my neck bent at an uncomfortable angle. It's aching now. Damn
Anyway, Happy Birthday to my mother. Wooo!
Anything else? I don't think so. I'm a bit tired and am too lazy to type much. I have to go do math homework now. Bleargh.

Aaaargh!

Meagan has been using my cell phone. I hate that.

Anyway, I think some poetry will calm me down.

I Don't Need

I don't need anyone
To take my breath away
I have the wind

I don't need anyone
To cry for me
I have the rain

I don't need anyone
To kiss me
I have the sun

I don't need anyone
To hug me
I have the grass

I don't need anyone
To buy me gifts
I have the sunrise

I don't need anyone
To make me laugh
I have the stream

I don't need anyone
To scare me
I have the cliffs

I don't need anyone
To shelter me
I have the trees

I don't need anyone
To soothe me
I have the flowers

I don't need anyone
To hurt me
I have the rocks

I don't need anyone
To entertain me
I have the flame

I don't need anyone
To watch over me
I have the stars

I don't need anyone
To talk to me
I have the animals

I don't need anyone
To love me
I have the earth

I don't need anyone


Wasn't that fun!? YAYAY!

Okay...

Today was better. I didn't leave the house or get dressed. I was a little bit bored, but I didn't sleep the night before so today gave me a chance to calm down and sort everything I need to do out. There are still some things bothering me, but I'll deal with those when they happen.
Plans for the Stampede are a go. Yayay! And I am looking forward to Schnickerfritz's Canada Day Barbeque, because I get to give her a present.
Tomorrow Rene, my darling friend Rene, is coming over and I can't wait. I'll miss him terribly when he is gone.
