Today was a sort of...odd day maybe? I don't know how to describe my mindset...it's a sort of relief and of focus. I finally troubleshooted my new sound card sucessfully a few days ago, or was it yesterday? days seem to blend together... i stayed up late doing a lot of mastering and burned a lot of CDs today. It was good...good to have something to devote my energy to, to forget my thoughts about myself and about life for a while.

I'm getting a cat...soon. this adorable little kinda sorta tabby kinda named Abigail. Stever has to get rid of her and I can't bear that he have her destroyed...

After all this time...a cat. I've wanted to have a cat for so so long now. One thing I was really looking forward to back in the states was getting such a sweet little kitten...and now I don't have to wait. I am troubled by the fact that I won't be able to take her with me...but even if i can't find her a home before i leave, at least she'll live for a few more months.

I think a cat will be so good for me right now too. Something to keep me occupied. Something tangible. something i can care for without painful self delusion.

...nevermind that we're not supposed to have cats in the baraks...what do i care. i'm on oki for only two days under five more months now. I've begun to sink into STA, short termer attitude.

anyway...i'll post pix of her sometime in the near future...once I have her.

And tomorrow is monday. How weird to be looking forward to a monday. 

oh...and I chatted with Dan today. I hadn't seen him online for so long i was getting a little worried about him. urns out he's been working 55 to 70 hour weeks, working up the money to get a car and move back out on his own again. So good to talk with my old friend. 

current mood:  good
current music: Pearl Jam _Riot Act_

I got a kitty (albeit stuffed) last Christmas, so now it's your turn. (: 

Would you like a collar? Local Wal-Mart has cute cute little cat ones with a little bow on them (and a special stretchy bit so the cat can get out if it gets snagged on something). I bought one the other day for Laurel's kitty -- and had a tag made for it that says "Kitty" and "oddharmonic.org" on it in case her Kitty ever gets lost. It's much cleaner now after judicious use of Build-A-Bear's surface cleaner, although I feel silly for having spent $6 on a bottle.

I have wanted a cat for as long as I can remember. But everyone in my family is allergic, so I always just enjoyed the neighbor's cat. As soon as I get enough saved for the deposit, I'm getting a cat. Rescuing one from the shelter. THat moment can't come quickly enough. I purchased a book this weekend on cats..so I'll know something about training and taking care of one when I bring it home. I can't wait.

I'm excited about your new friend :) I can't wait until I can get one for myself.
