You are surprised to open the door and not find your chinchilla reading a magazine.

My legs really hurt now. XD I feel like I did a dance recital instead of just walking down a street. Maybe it's cos, oh yeah. I danced. A lot.

Nevermind.

The cutest part of today:

Little Girl (about five): You have a nice costume!
Me: Oh, thank you! So do you!
Little Girl: What are you dressed as?
Me: I'm a chinchilla.
Little Girl: Oh. A chin-chill-ah.
Me: *dies from cuteness*

The funniest part of today:

Alex (my cousin, over the phone): You marched in a Halloween parade?
Me: Yep! It was fun!
Alex: What was your costume?
Me: I was a chinchilla.
Alex: Oh... Okay... Dad, she was a chinchilla.
Me: It was fun!
Alex: I'm sure it is... Everyone loves to dress as... small rodents.
Me: Small rodents are my favorite.
Alex: I'll remember that... in case I ever... need to remember that.

XD My cousin loves me.


(He's three years younger than me, btw.)

Yesterday was fairly hellish as far as having-our-parents'-pets-here went. Dylan bit my sister because he didn't want to wear a harness (even though when he wears a leash, he pulls so much that he ends up sounding like Donald Duck for the entire walk). Hank kept hissing at everyone.

But luckily, now, they've calmed down. Jenn's cats still keep their distance but Hank's not as hissy and he's mostly been sleeping on couches. Last night, he slept in Yuki's house for a little while. That was too cute.

And Dylan... is at least back to being as annoying as usual.

Besides being a Squirrel Person, I'm also a Cat Person. I love all animals, but dogs overwhelm me. :\ My sister and I are ready for our parents to come back so we can give Dylan back to them.

But besides all of that, Jenn started making my chinchilla ears. ^_^ She's going to finish tonight and I'm going to attempt to make my tail (or at least start). She's craftier than I am. I would do more to make the stuff, but she goes ahead and does it all. It makes me laugh. She's like Martha Stewart, but (slightly) less bitchy. XD

We still laugh about the time poor Melissa Joan Hart was 'helping' make a gingerbread house on Martha Stewart's Christmas show back in, like, 1999. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT CANDYCANE?!" "...Uh, I... thought I'd make a lamp-po--" "NO, IT DOESN'T NEED THAT!" "o_O"

Good times, good times.

I'm looking forward to Sunday. :)

I changed my background on my journal. I'm getting antsy for a new layout, but I have no idea what theme I'd use, so I figure that it's just me being bored. That's not a good reason. But I was getting tired of the black, so I went for another pattern I love: polka dots.

I like patterns.

I wish I had actual news to share. I've just been watching a lot of movies. Getting obsessed with ( this guy ). Thinking of ideas for stories and things but not actually writing them down. Trying to find a job. Trying not to get depressed that there are NO jobs.

Halloween will be fun, though. My sister and I are going to a "Day of the Dead" type celebration in our area. I'm going to be a chinchilla. :) In case you were wondering. I'm making the costume myself (obviously... it's fairly original) and I think it's going to be pretty flippin' adorable if I do say so myself. I'll need to pose with Habi when I'm wearing it.

All of this Michael Crawford stuff that's going on has made me realize that I have a type. My type is adorable, awkward, tall, cuddly, baby-faced, silly, talented and thin. At least as far as actors go... I've yet to find a guy like that to marry. ;)

I've yet to find a guy at all.

ETA: This is incredible!



That's why I love Bret and Noel. ♥

Chin-chillaaaaaaaa!





It's so funny to me how pronounced their noses are. Habi's mouth is under it and back toward his eyes. They look like Simpson's characters, basically. XD

In other news, Hank's going in to see the vet tomorrow. He's lost a lot of weight lately, since Manny died. :\ My sister thinks he might be hyperthyroid. I hope he's okay. I ♥ him.


Not much else to report. It's been requested that I do my impression of Sharon Osbourne tomorrow. Any other requests*? You know I like to fill requests for things! Don't forget the Google Meme and the Questionnaire I've done on there. Questions, strange things to (try to) wear, songs to sing, etc. Have at me! :D You know you want to make me look ridiculous!


* Within reason.

I CAN HAS A CHINCHILLA!!!

This is Habi. :)



He is more active at night, so I'll be filming him and trying to take pictures of him tonight. We'll see how that goes. XD

Here's a meme!

1. Randomly pick a song from your music library.
2. Find the lyrics for the first four verses/chorus [I just did the first verse :P]
3. Go to Google translation and translate the lyrics from English into German.
4. Take the new German lyrics and translate them into French.
5. Take the new French lyrics and translate them into English.
6. Post the NEW English lyrics and have people guess the original song.

I was walking down the streets of the city,
Hiking through the paths of time,
If from nothing fell into my eyes, a girl
and eyes by chance, fell on me.

I am so amused.
