klenaSO! Imagine, if you will, a Werid Shit life. Bring yourself to this world with my words.
You do not sleep the night before your open shift. You climb into bed, having set the computer to download all of Nobuta wo Produce and Kimi wa Petto after buying TONS OF STUFF in Belfast that day. You go to Belfast with the Mother and the Brother - The Brother's Drink explodes in your handbag and your courtesy phone (because your other one is being fixed after JUST RANDOMLY DYING IN LONDON) does not switch on anymore.
You lie awake from midnight, closing your eyes and everytime you wake up, only 20-30 minutes has passed. Nothing you do lulls you to sleep. Sigh.
You climb out of bed at 6am to head to work. As you leave your park you discover that, whilst your CD player worked last night despite being drenched in coke, TODAY IT DOES NOT. You trek down to work in silence, entertaining yourself with THE POWERS OF YOUR MIND and THE GLORY THAT IS BANDOM (all the while thinking that it is TOO EARLY FOR THIS SHIT)
You find a kitten. Curled into the corner of a shop door on the main street of your town. You try to pick it up only for it to DART ACROSS THE ROAD AND ALMOST GET HIT BY A CAR. You freak out (you've seen cats die recently and almost hit another one a week ago going into work) and go to it. Some random man (and what the fuck is he even doing UP at 6:30??) helps you catch it. It's tiny and terrified and cries and you hold it, feeling it shiver. You take it into work. Your shift manager for the day (Kev) lets you in when he arrives and you hold the kitten as you pace around the store. Eventually you phone your dad to take it home and look after it because you cannot just LEAVE IT in the crew room for your 9 hour shift and it's so tiny and needs to be looked after.
You work until 4 and stumble out of work. Return home to the kitten.
MY WEIRD SHIT LIFE PEOPLE - LET ME SHOW YOU IT.
But isn't it ADORABLE?!

Date: 2008-07-21 08:40 pm (UTC)Remember how helpless you felt the night you found the other cat on the road? All things come around, dear. Here is where you are shown that you aren't helpless at all. Call it fate, call it luck, call it karma... moments like these help you to realize just how important you are and just how much good you can really do in the world.
Miss you alot, dear. You've been on my mind quite a bit lately.

Either way I hope the kitty is doing better now.
Will you keep him/her?
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Do you guys think you will end up keeping her? :D If you don't want her, send her to me! (Cats like being packed in tiny boxes and shipped across the Atlantic, right?) Glen will just have to get used to dying of allergies all the time. XD
Hm, I should see if Web AIM is working tonight. My computer is still awaiting its new power supply in the mail.

Date: 2008-07-29 04:30 pm (UTC)I actually never even thought about it that way and now I can't stop thinking that way. That's a really nice way to think of it, thank you so much. I hope I can do a little bit of good.
Miss you too, been thinking a lot about my travels lately.

I think we will. I mean, mum and dad are slightly 'hmmmm' at me because I'm telling them we're just looking after it until it's a little bigger and we can find a good home for it but i don't think they believe me, ha ha ha!
I can totally ship it to you. Cats love it. They love the enclosed spaces
Yeah Glen, get used to allergies!!

Date: 2008-07-29 09:04 pm (UTC)I'm glad I helped influence your line of thinking in regards to the kitten. Anytime you need me for anything, just say the word, dear. I know how to find the silver lining and give it to people, and I love doing it. I especially enjoy being there for you.
*hugs*
