"I always feel like...."

Wow, we're looking at two years since I last posted here. Well, so sorry about that. I've been thinking of starting this blog back up, and trying to figure out what to type about.

In the end, I think I'm going to use this and share pet-stories. I've got a full house of critters and some of the crap they get into is kind of funny. Everyone has stories like that, right? A cat that has a special quirk, or a weird pet trick. You know the things I'm talking about, I'm sure.

So let's start this blog back up properly, shall we?

I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again in the future. I've got a lot of pets. Most of my budget actually goes to them, you know, foods, vet bills, supplies....it's totally worth it, though. I spend a good chunk of my day  doing checks and caring for them all, too. Which reminds me, I need to clean out terrariums tomorrow. Damn. But that's just part of the experience. The running joke is that I run a small zoo, and we offer a "Friends and Family discount. You can sponsor an animal too! For a low donation, you get a picture of the animal you sponsored, and a letter about them!"

Anyway, sometimes I'll be sitting around, vegetating, generally unwinding from the day, and I'll get this strange feeling that someone is watching me. Now, you expect it when you're doing something right? At least, I do, because I'm fantastically amazing. But when I'm doing nothing, I'll get that feeling. Sometimes it's the dogs or a cat right next to me, which is just kinda creepy. They stare like they expect me to do something amazing at any second. I yell "BOO!" or start randomly dancing, just to see how they'll react every now and then.

Other times, I can't figure out who, or what is staring at me. That's just unnerving, looking around, knowing someone is watching you, but unable to locate it...."~I always feel like.... somebody's watching me~" then the hunt begins. First, you causally look around, then maybe you turn off the TV, or put down your book. Eventually you go hunting for the staring creature after a while. Sometimes you find something like this

Mukki. He's sleeping, by the way. And yes, his eyes are open.
Fell asleep staring at someone, happens a lot, because he's not bright.

Yeah, I've poked him a few times to make sure he's alive when I find him like that. He meurts a "Huh" sound. It's cute.  Then there are times when it takes you a while to find it, like say, after a new addition to the household that just stares at you....

fast drawing done at work. Look! I made a comic! (sorta)
Know what show is on the tv?

you know that song just runs in your head, right? In fact, I'm being stared at right now.




speaking of, if you're ever bored in a crowded place, point at someone's back across a room instead of staring. The reaction's the same, but it takes longer.
