Birthday

[farla]

I don't have any real number associations with ages twenty-two and above.

I guess it's sort of the point things stop mattering so much. Especially since no one believes I'm past (or near) twenty in the first place, and by the time I'm actually old we'll either have cloning down or we'll all be dead.

The weather's warmed up again. It used to always be a big blizzard around now.

I want to try making jello shots sometime.

Mom's going to get rats, which is cool.

I hope to become drunk without having to taste alcohol!

I've had basically every small rodent except rats. Mostly, they were full of bitey hate. I look forward to the promise of rodents that do other things.

Isn't that always the objective?

You had bitey hamsters, really? Ours nipped a little bit when we first got them, but were the sweetest little things after that. Dwarf hamsters are bitier than bigger ones, and males more than females (apparently; I've only ever had females). Hamsters have by far been my favorite small animal.

Our guinea pigs never bit either (though they aren't very bright and have a tendency to mistake fingers for food if you put them too close, so there are lots of "test nibbles" but no real bites), but they are smelly and tons of work. Not a fan.

They're mostly school hamsters/gerbils/mice I get back to resocialize, so the biting is understandable. My regular golden hamster was pretty even-tempered because he was merely a poorly socialized lab hamster. My teddy bear hamster was from Petco, and therefore chewed through my fingers when I got her and continued to be a bitey monster until she died.

Had a guinea pig once. They are high strung little chewing machines, but yes, they're more scratchy than bitey.

I love guinea pigs, and possibly prefer to them to rats as pets. Sure, they're daft little creatures, but they're so cuddly! Also they make the cutest happy noises of any animal ever.

Also: Ooh, I'm a "little punk" now. This one is feisty!

And a lackey, don't forget lackey!

I'm a lackey like eight times over in this thread. How does that work? Do I need to be leader again that many times to be back on top?

You need to review everyone for eight months.

Look, I don't make the rules. I'm just saying you'll never escape being my lackey unless you go do exactly what I tell you for poorly explained reasons. Without question.

"I hope to become drunk without having to taste alcohol!"

I don't think so. I've tried many Jell-O shots made by various people, and they all taste like alcohol. It's better to just get drunk with the least number of drinks necessary, so go for high alcohol content.
