    was weird, I was watching the news when the 6 hit. They were talking to an MP from the area and he said "oh we're having another aftershock now", and then about half a minute later I felt it.

    I have just lost half my tooth.

    Again.

    Last time it was eating chocolate. This time it was a bread roll.

    Needless to say I am unimpressed with it's performance. It is letting the team down.

    Nah the dude is alright most of the time, just he is an alcoholic and I wish he would help himself.

    Blake, do you want one of my teeth? Despite probably being a different colour I can probably spare a few more, especially if I want to become a toothless hillbilly.

    Gonna watch some Game of Thrones. Feel like getting well sauced but that would probably be counter productive at 3 in the afternoon on a Monday.

    Reminds me of my brother coming into my room at like 4am asking me if I have some paticular colour pair of pants/shirt because he wanted to borrow it for some silly dress party or something. Or the times he's come in wanting to rummage through my wardrobe because he thinks Mum gave me one of his shirts or something.

    Probably the worst though was when he came in just to pick up my sleeping cat and hug him. Luckily Daeg took care of that one so I didn't have to (never wake Daeg when he's sleeping).

    Yeah this shit isn't all that uncommon, it just doesn't bother me nearly as much when I don't have anything riding on me actually sleeping.
    Lets brohug it out Anz.

    But now I'm thinking of my cat, her name was Spod.
    She was a part of the family for 24 years. When she died that was longer than my brother had been alive, and far longer than I had.

    She was a pretty cool cat. She used to climb the stairs slowly in the morning, then jump this double height step to get up on the balcony and sit in the sun on the deck all day, or if it was winter she would get under the deck. She still wanted to be out there.

    We started feeding this stray cat so he would stop eating her food, and we basically got a second cat, one that had fleas and didn't like being touched. So we didn't bring him inside.
    I am pretty good with animals though, and I eventually earned his trust. He would only let me pat him. He was a bit gross, but his fur was so soft. Then he started losing chunks of his fur and got all scabby. Then he disappeared.

    I love animals.

    Last year a friend of mine had two of her cats disappear. They eventually showed up, and one bad wounds that at the time were thought to have been inflicted on it with intent. It had to have its tail and one leg amputated. The other cat showed up though. I was really sad for a while then.
    She lived near a train line at the time as well, which wasn't great for the cats.
    There are so many cats. I should catch up with those people because I haven't seen them in months.

    I'm really looking forward to the day I can have a cat again. Gonna get me a Russian Blue.

    Animals are great, I'm generally pretty good with them. There's this one tiny cat that lives with some of my friends that nobody else can get close to aside from her owners and me.

    Stim, I feel for you.

    But oddly. From the other side.

    I was that brother, all to often and I have just recently started getting over my alcohol problem. It was/is tough though, and im sure you brother appreciates the fact you don't give him absolute hell, but it your response to being woken up is understandable.

    I dunno... maybe im trying to say maybe you could try and help him with his problem. I wish someone helped me more.

    We don't let Daeg go outside. There's quite a few dogs, including a pitbull, around here, and a crazy cat lady with like 20 cats down the road. Combine that with it just being generally better that he never goes near traffic, people that could hurt him, or other cats he could catch shit off, and it just seems better overall to me.

    He has this little cat run outside my window, though, that he loves to go chill out in during summer, and he has a litter tray there too so he can do his buisness at night when he's stuck in my room. Sometimes we'll let him out the backyard while we're doing washing or gardening or whatever, and we have little pots of catgrass that we cycle inside for him to eat (he literally has cravings for grass, for whatever reason).

    I'm 90% sure that when I move out a requirement for the place I go to will be that I can take him with me. I just can't really imagine living without him around; he's essentially the one constant living thing in my life that I can rely on to just be around and happy.

    Yeah josh, my brother has undeniably had a substance abuse problem for 15 years.
    I've done about as much as I can to help him sort his shit out and I still love the guy. One of the hardest times for me in life was when I was separated from him for a few months around 7 years ago. He flipped the fuck out from a cocktail of drugs including some bad LSD, then running out of weed to balance himself with, had to call the C.A.T. on him. We're cool now though, I've talked to him. I really just wish he thought about shit more before doing it.

    He actually ended up calling the C.A.T. on someone else who was threatening suicide, then that person flipped their shit about him overstepping the line or something. I think he probably needs to start choosing his new company more carefully as well.

    E: I don't know if I said this in my catpost, but Daeg is a good cat name.
    I'mma watch game of thrones and chill the fuck out now.

    E: I don't know if I said this in my catpost, but Daeg is a good cat name.
    I'mma watch game of thrones and chill the fuck out now.

    <3 His full name is actually Daeg Waedos. It's origin is this old joke a friend of mine had going for a while, about some fake person with that name who he kept trying to convince people was real. Eventually the joke developed into people always asking 'Who is Daeg Waedos?'

    Then in '06 we were going to get a cat after I finished year 12, and while talking about this with that friend I jokingly suggested I could name the cat Daeg Waedos, then realised how awesome that would be, hah.

    Guess I might as well tell the tale about how I got him too.

    So yeah we were already planning on getting a cat, and we'd started all the prep for it. Got the cat run installed, looked into food and other stuff like that. Then, sometime in october, a friend of mine's cat had a litter. At some stage me and Phoebe- my ex- went over there for some party or somesuch, and I had a look at the kittens. There was one that I really too a fancy too, he was the biggest, but there was another in the litter that was like the alpha kitty- who used to headbut the other kittens to get to the food first or the coziest spots to lie (he, later discovered to be a she, was kept by the owners and called 'meathead'). The kitten I liked though didn't take any of meathead's crap, and used to just sit next to the food bowl and wait til meat had shooed away the others, and then ate anyway.

    So I asked my friend if the kitten was already claimed, and he told me that, sadly, the whole litter was accounted for. I was a bit disapointed but that was that.

    The rest of the year was a bit busy, and I didn't get a chance to go out with my parents to look at cat havens and whatnot to find a kitten, but we decided that we'd go sometime during the week after christmas, regardless of anything else.

    Then, on Christmas eve after getting home from church, Phoebe and her entire family turn up at our doorstep with a cat in a carry box. A cat that is nothing less than the one I took a fancy to from that other litter! It turned out Phoebe had conspired with my parents shortly after the litter was born, and made sure we went to see them specifically so she and the owners could watch me closely to see which one I liked the most.

    Suffice to say I was pretty blown away and completely surprised. As they plopped him into my arms to take a look at I quietly said "what am I going to call you". To which Phoebe informed me that he already had a name- Daeg Waedos.

    8-)

    You chipped your tooth then cut your tongue on the ragged edge of your recently chipped tooth?

    Or did the wholegrain bread embed a seed in the lining of your esophagus, slowly growing over time until it sprouted into a congealed mass of fiberous plant matter, slowly burrowing through the flesh around your throat until it surfaced into the bottom of your mouth, the hardened black tips of its thorns reaching up towards your teeth like obsidian claws, until your tongue, now scared and hiding at the roof of your mouth, strayed too far down and nicked the edge of the sharpest, longest, thorn.

    You gonna die, son.

    I've read like a quarter of the first book, so it's well into areas of the story I haven't read now. I would say it is pretty great! It's very faithful to the books from what I've read of them but it also adapts really well. You should watch it.

    I am sad that only one episode is left in the series though.

    Also I don't know if this first series covers the entire first book, or if there is more that doesn't happen and will have to wait for series two. (I'm almost certain they renewed it after the first or second episode aired)
