My cat sits next to me and leans on me. Then she stares at me with this "'Sup?" expression on her face. Then she will climb up on the couch behind me and lick my hair because apparently I am filthy.
My cat sits in my fiancees lap while she plays game, but at night sleeps on me. Apparently she feels we both deserve equal cat laying on us time.
My cat just rolls on her back and wedges herself inbetween my girlfriend and I at night. Either that or she sits on my chest and stares at me while I sleep. It's kind of creepy, actually.
Have you ever woken up to have the cat laying on you looking at your eyes waiting for you to wake up? Quigley does that to me and it creeps me out.
God, that's exactly what I'm talking about. What the hell is wrong with our cats?
I dunno, I think quigley does it because she's a small cat and I figure she did it to her mother cat? Maybe to get her attention, I dunno it's just creepy.

I know he could eat whole mice, but it's kinda gross seeing him stretch so much.
He's 11! He has an average life expectancy of 12-15 so he's doing well so far.
What kind of snake?
Mine is a charcoal corn snake. He's about six or so months old and I'm upgrading him to fuzzies - you must have a pretty small snake to be 11 and still eating such small mice.

Anyone ever try to build their own PC? Isn't it great how everything seems perfect until everything manages to not work in ways that are so creative they subdue your anger?
After hours of work inside of the guts of the beast I find out that I can't press enter because I don't have the proper drivers installed.
Ironically the only way I can install the drivers is if I press enter on my keyboard. Haha..ah..
I was able to do it. Also, I didn't have to install any drivers for my keyboard to work. I'm not sure what the hell you're doing wrong.
So Babyface, the famous R&B producer & artist just came out with an album of, like Bread and James Taylor covers. Totally whitebread stuff. I heard him interviewed about it and he was totally earnest and unapologetic, saying that this was the music that he'd grown up with and loved.
It kind of got me thinking of how there's this kind of assumption that white and black people in the US grow up with totally divergent cultures when it comes to music and entertainment. The interviewer was just boggled at the idea of an R&B luminary having grown up and appreciating the same music that pretty much everyone else who grew up at that time listened to and appreciated.
I guess it's pretty much routine now that white kids will listen to "black music," but it's somehow a subversive cultural statement for a black person to admit to listening to "white music". Odd.
I regularly go to punk shows. I stick out like a hippie wearing dreadlocks at a Hot Boys performance.
Yeah the only black punk artists I can really think of offhand are Bad Brains. I dunno - I'd think that more black people would be pissed at the kinds of cultural expectations that get levied on them with respect to what they have to listen to or watch on TV or whatever.
Ha, Babyface went to my high school.
Indianapolis, right? He was talking in the interview about how when he was in high school people would sit around campfires and listen to James Taylor and so forth, and that was kind of where he started in Music. I know that Babyface isn't exactly a figure in the gangsta movement and so forth but it was kind of an interesting picture to me.
Indianapolis is right. North Central High School, to be exact. He most likely lived in a nice suburb. Though he worked with some "gangsta" artists, he was probably raised middle-class.
He's about 10 years or so older than me, but what he described sounds about right.
EDIT: I did not realize he was 49. I thought he was maybe in his mid 30's. OK, that makes him 27 years older than me.

It's so damned adorable when they keep some of their kitten behaviors, but also often annoying. Ever had an adult cat trying to burrow under you until it nearly knocked you off the bed?

On the Babyface topic, it did cross my mind every now and then that I stood out like a sore thumb at death metal/hardcore shows.
So what's the deal with that? I mean it's super-common for white people and especially white kids to do the whole cultural-appropriation thing. White kids wearing around kilts or really into hip-hop or gangsta rap or wearing bandanas and calling everyone ese or getting all otaku about Japanese shit. It's even not uncommon among Asians and Hispanics to culturally appropriate.
But there seems to be a whole lot of pressure on black people to avoid any other kind of cultural appropriation and look down on other black people who do. I'm not sure I really understand it.

You'd probably stand out like a sore thumb at PAX, too. :P
Wait, do you know how to dress yourself without using anything anime-themed?
I've never dressed myself anime themed. Although about five years ago I had a shirt that said "Off Duty Ninja". I mostly wear obscure band shirts and abercrombie to further confuse onlookers.

Oh I have you beat there, I used to have a German shepard who tried to sleep with me in a twin bed. Sasha was about 90 pounds and liked to spread out. I'd usually wake up in the morning with a big shepard draped over me breathing in my face.

I never needed any sort of driver disk for wireless ones, but I've only used them with xp and vista.
I've built bunches of PCs, and never needed drivers to get an enter key to work.
install a mouse first, or if other buttons on the keyboard work, use the tab key to get focus to the OK button, and then hit the space bar. or alt and o.

I'm stuck using the Wii so I can't multi-quote but to Than's comment.
It's just a USB keyboard. My copy of XP pro is at university and all we had here was an old XP Home CD. Much to my dismay, SP1 does not install the files needed to use a usb keyboard until after initial setup.
Will, I have no idea. I think it has something to do with the self segregation that blacks in America have forced themselves into. I think it creates a sense of false unity and anyone breaking that perceived unity is viewed as a threat, thus the ridicule and mockery.

Yes! He's beautiful, and also a slut. I think he's in more facebook photos than I am.
Maybe I'll ring my mother and let her know she can feed him bigger mice, then! I wish I could have him with me, but I've moved around too many times in the past few years.
He used to dance to my funky beats. He likes bass.
I'm not too big on the whole reptiles as pets thing.
"I have to go home and feed my snake" is generally about on the level of "I sure would like to sit down and talk with a girl someday"
:P
I don't really see the point of reptiles as pets thing either, but I wouldn't say such mean things.
Irene just likes snakes inside her, not as pets.
Ok, this time I know it's on purpose. Not falling for it this time either! :P

I don't get the difference. A pet is a pet. Why is going home to feed your cat more socially acceptable than going home to feed your snake? Or Bearded Dragon? Or whatever?
Besides, for my lifestyle, a cat would be too much effort. Also, I really don't have anywhere to put a litterbox. A snake takes such a small amount of work to care for and are really easy to keep clean and healthy.

My cat is a giant. She probably weights a good 20lbs or so, and she isn't fat. She runs around constantly and we wrestle and stuff.
She will also play fetch and swim.
Her name is Cammy and I wuv her.
