My Cat Has Gone Crazy

Some how I believe my cat managed to find some catnip or something. Last night she attacked me because I walked passed her. Then she followed me to my room and stood there staring at me. It is not fun being stared at by a cat that will attack me I threw a ball of paper. She played with it, hitting it through the entire house once before coming back to watch me again. I continued to throw paper balls until my sister same home when the cat ran away due to the fact that she is scared of my sister.

Then this morning I came home and the cat starts meowing loudly at me. Then she starts running back and forth through the house, jumping from the floor to the arm of a chair, to the back of the chair. From there she jumped on to the windowsill and all but ran back and forth along it. The outdoor cat jumped up by the sill as well, so my cat jumps down and starts running back and forth again. Then she went really crazy and jumped off the floor, touched the couch, went up onto the ironing board and back down into the kitchen. I'm pretty sure she went straight downstairs from there because a really loud bang came up from there.

Hopefully it is just from some catnip because this will wear off soon, and not her own craziness.

Back Home

I'm back from my short trip Up North. Spent 5-51/2 hours traveling back. It should have only taken about 3-4(max.) hours, but traffic was horrible. We ended up avoiding the rest of the traffic due to the fact we had figured we could take the backroads home. It may have made the route longer but it stopped the frequent stop and go motion of the car that was starting to make me sick.

So I got back and my grandma and her sister wanted to go to church. My sister decided to go with them. Sure it was Sunday, and I should go, but I didn't care. I haven't really been attending church, like the rest of my family, so would missing another mass be such a big deal. Plus I have been waiting forever to get my hands on Breaking Dawn, and I had a copy waiting for me at Chapters, I was going to get it no matter what. My grandma told me I could wait another day, and I looked at her like she was crazy. So as soon as they lefy for church I found my reciept for the book, grabbed some cash for a new phone car and walked to the mall.

I may have killed my feet walking in shoes that are falling apart and giving me blisters, but my knees thanked me. They had begun to kill after sitting in the backseat, worsened by the fact that we stopped only once in our drive back about an hour after we began because we were nearly out of gas. So I read the book as soon as I had it. I didn't want to stop to sleep but I had to due to the fact that I was so tired it was making me sick.

I slept from 3 'til 11 when my mom yelled at me to get up and get ready. I asked why and she told me because we are going out. I asked where and she said that I had to get ready. I asked where again and she yelled at me that I could just stay home then. Really, all I wanted to know was where we were going because I had just over 100 pages left of the book.

Warning, Breaking Dawn spoilers. If you have yet to read the book it will give away only a little, if you have read more than the first part bigger spoilers (depending on how far you are)
Anyway, the book was great. Most people seem to not like it, and I don't see how. Sure it was different from what everyone expected but it gave closure, leaving enough room that if Stephenie Meyer wants to write more about Jacob and Nessie if she wanted to. Seeing as they will have trouble in the future, I mean a half-vampire and werewolf relationship, will bring around questions. Although the whole Nessie/Jacob thing surprised me, from the way Leah and Jacob were getting closer I thought that they might end up together. Either way I enjoyed the book, and will soon be rereading it again.
End of spoiler.

So seeing as I was reading today, then on the computer I haven't done anything. The big surprise today. I heard something moving outside like 15 minutes ago. I look over expecting to see the outdoor cat. I see a tail, but it is not the cat's its to bushy, so I stand up to see what the thing outside on the front porch is. It turns out that raccoons will also eat cat food. I grabbed my cat who was standing at the door way staring out side, check to see that the cat outside wasn't looking like he was going to attack or anything then shut the door.

I had to be one of the largest raccoons I've seen so far. The last one I was close to was only a baby, which had climbed up on the wall of the front porch. This was all happening while my mother was hosting a bithday party for my brother (this was quite a few years ago, so all the guests were young). My mom called one of the animal control places, explaining the situation, house full of kids with a baby raccoon stuck to the wall outside. They said they could do nothing to help. Some animal control people they are. Oh, but they will help, along with the hydro people when a squirrel decides to commit suicide by bitind the wires up above the trees, holding on quite tightly because even after death it never let go. That was a sight to see, I come out from the backyard and look up and see a dead squirrel holding on to the power lines.

I've decided, it could have been worse. It may have been a skunk outside and decided that to protect itself it needed to spray that disgusting smell on the front porch, right by the windows. It has been a while since I've seen a skunk though, but I can tell you they are still around, you can smell when they've been startled by something.

Best news yet, no sunburn this year. :):):):):):):) View the ninth post on this blog if you want to know what I'm talking about. Even though I didn't learn the lesson (wear sunscreen when you plan on spending most the day out on the water), I don't have to go through the pain again.

Hmmm, I may change to posting in red. Hmmmm.

An Early Morning Post

So, my mom just found this sticker attached to my phone, and came into the living to yell at me about it. I was sleeping on the floor, since there was a spider in my room right by my bed, and she came in all mad. Of course there was a reason why the phone was upside down while charing. She went on about how it is rude. I just hope she understood me saying it was a joke. It's not my fault my friends and I found our randomly found something like that funny at 1 in the morning.

Okay, I'm back now from shutting the windows and getting my crackers. Seems my mom managed to get over the sticker quite quickly. Now to convince her to leave for Up North Saturday morning so that I can get Breaking Dawn at midnight with all my friends. Right now I'll be lucky if I can get it by Sunday night.

And the Award of Parent of the Year Goes to......

Someone other than my mom and step dad. Parents should warn you about dangerous things right. I mean they teach you not to play with the matches or lighters they leave barely out of reach, so close that you can get them with the stool from the bathroom you use to wash your hands. Okay, maybe they aren't that bad, but still. So I go outside to write some music less lyrics (when I learn a bit more piano, they might actually have simple notes added on, but teaching yourself from a book, isn't the easiest thing in the world). There are plenty bugs (aka mosquitoes) in Canada, so I turn on this annoying thing that is suppose to keep them away, but why write with a flash light when there are candles right in front of you. These aren't your average citronella candles, think gas lamps, but frilled with citronella oil. Me being me, I managed to scare a skunk when I first went out, and you can only handle the smell for so long
(although from the smell of the neighbourhood, I think someone scares the stupid thing every night/morning), and so after 20 or so minutes I decide to come in. The only thing I have to do is put out the citronella things. Not hard, they come with little snuffers attached to them. I place the first one on, no problems, the second try, it did not, go out. No matter how many times I tried. The flames were quite high and I wasn't about to pull the snuffer of with my hands, it's metal, it was just over fire, I am no idiot (*looks at last post* most the time). I keep trying with the same one, because I am stubborn. Then I start to get mad, it might be nice to get some warning when I ask if the lighter for the candles is on the table. No warning and after sticking a lighter and a pencil into the flames quite a few times I decide to try with the other snuffer, I dropped it on and it didn't go out immediately the way it is suppose to, but it did eventually go out.

Trust me, people would like a little warning that not only is the snuffer not working properly, but it will stay of fire for a short period of time after you take it away from the flame.

random post

It's 2:45 am, I have stopped writing because I cannot seem to decide on a name (see post below). so what do I do???????? write a random post about nothing. maybe I will talk about how I can hear the breeze moving through the trees outside my house. maybe about fact that laptops can be hot when placed on bare skin. maybe how annoying the shift on my sisters laptop is (reason why only I is capitalized and why I shall soon switch over to square brackets]. really if you are looking at this post going, where's the point to all of this, THERE IS NONE [thank goodness for caps lock].

so first off- breeze through the trees. it is mocking me I swear. i can hear it, it moves the curtains slightly, yet it doesn't reach me and it is really warm out. sure there is a fan next to me, but if I turn it on I can't hear when to close the computer because someone is leaving their room.

up next- laptops are hot on bare skin- how do I know this, because I am using my sisters laptop and I had to change out of the pants I was wearing, due to heat. kind of silly though I went from wearing my gym pants from school to my gym shorts.

the shift button- it is the size of the letter/number buttons on the keyboard, so I either don't reach far enough and hit the slash button or go to far and hit the up arrow button.

really I guess I don't need to qrite this post because I have new earphones and two episodes of naruto loaded and waiting for me, but somehow I fell like typing after searching through a bunch of different names to come up with that list. although I could just go back to writing my story calling the character girl and sayng meaing of name when I come across to that point. yet somehow, with the whole shift buttin factor, I don't want to try and repeatedly use the button the I almost never hit correctly.

teh ither thing I could do is actually try and sleep, I mean staying up this late at night might just be the reason why I have been getting up so late in the morning, even though I hate push ups [may be explained in a later post].

i wonder what cats dream about when they sleep. is it eating fish or running around playing?

I have just finished writing an entire post and my final thought is........................................................who invented the english language, or any language in general and why is it called english?????????

okay two thoughts in a connected question, but whatever [heehee 90's flashblack: growing up and a t-shirt that says WHATEVER on it]

***edit- looking at this 12 hours later really shows how wierd my thoughts are when I'm tired***

Whta the hell!!!!!! So my brother calls home saying he is enjoying camp, but he wants to come home. All my mom had to do was say NO!!!!!!!! Of course he is her little baby, it doesn't matter that she had planned to pretty much visit him every weekend, she was willing to drive 2 hours there just to see him. He had to come home even though if he stayed up there, he would probably see my mom more often then if he is at home. So what is he really, a giant baby, who would of thought, the one in cadets, then again, onthing is his fault it is my own fault he punched my because I told him to let go of the computer before he ruined the screen. At this rate he will never grow up.

So, waht's my plan, ignore him, for 5 weeks. Seeing as he is 'still at camp', it shouldn't be to hard. This means I still have 5 weeks of cutting the neighbours lawn, 5 more weeks of getting paid for cleaning the house, as well as 5 more weeks of not having to ask anyone before using the PS2.

The only problem is the annoying thing that watches tv and complains about music, or the computer flying into the air when I don't listen to whatg are really annoying tiny people or something. That and whatever is haunting the house has my mom on its side.

Trust me when ny mom asked why I was listening to the music I told her my sister was in her room and that my borther is at camp for 5 more weeks, why should I listen to him. Not such a smart idea, if I try to ignore him I will be in trouble. Not my fault he came home early, so its not my fault that I must ignore him if I want to have a summer vacation that is annoyance free.
