strider kiters kite your striders
Jul. 19th, 2008 12:10 pmMy cat has an eye infection and has to take antibiotics. It cost 400 dollars to discover this, because my cat bites and scratches strangers even under normal circumstances, let alone when they are trying to touch her eyes, so they had to anesthetize her to find out what was wrong.
Maybe my cat is really special, but it seems like every vet I've seen is disproportionately afraid of her, jumping when she hisses, etc. You'd think vets would be a little more blase about aggressive animals, especially ones that only weigh 10 pounds.
The WoW situation gets crazier by the day. For the moment I have taken refuge in my old guild, which I left for greener pastures like a year ago. There was a time when I was very angry at the leader of my old guild, but there was also a time when we were good friends. I think it's possible to acknowledge and respect both those things.
A bit after I had rejoined her guild, I was playing on a newly created character, named Ninereeds. She saw me and, not knowing it was me, sent me a message like "sorry to bother you, but you're named after the dragon twoflower imagined in the color of magic?", to which I said "yes", to which she said "good call", at which point I revealed it was me and we had a good laff over it. That sort of thing used to happen to us all the time; it would just randomly turn out that we liked the same stuff.
She's also trans, and I had just recently been talking to my shrink about how I didn't really have any trans friends anymore, and it was lonely and things. It's not even a matter of talking *about* being trans, but... not being the only one all the time.
