My friend April is being really nice to me today!!! She spontaneously brought me some tea at work and now she is inquiring about whether I need a ride to the airport a couple of weeks from now. And she is getting me some more tea! This is like having the oft dreamed about personal assistant... She probably doesn't want to me to put this picture online. Or she might want me to work for her next week...
Not speaking about my friend April in particular, but people are a lot like rats (hmm...but my rat is named April...) as I am sure I have stated before in my blog.
Co-dependency...the parallel between battered women and rats... When my rat May was living, April had a tendency to pluck May's hair out (for reasons never known to me...) So, figuring that May occassionally got tired of the abuse, I would put them in separate cages but then leave the doors open in case they wanted to get back in the same cage together or just sit out on the table. Invariably, May would go rejoin April in the other cage...
Destructiveness... Last week April (still talking about the rat here) crawled into my closet and ruined my funeral skirt by taking exactly two bites out of it. She didn't chew it up and make a nest out of it (well, she probably didn't have time anyway...) she just chomped on it just enough to ruin it.
More later...
On an unrelated topic, the tiny island nation of Kiribati (where my dad, sisters and stepmother live) has taken a small step toward toppling a giant, or so you might think by the reaction... After Kiribati suddenly recognized Taiwan as like an actual country and let them have an embassy there, the Chinese government broke diplomatic ties and rushed home like the crazed immature babies they are.

This is my kinda game! Of course, I would probably have to play with two 12 ounce beers. And, the only competitors I could find would probably just only play if they could use bottled water. Oh, my life is so fun...
