Facebook finally got their "Share this album" function fixed! That means that I can finally share cat pictures with you guys. Whoohoo!!! I took most of these pics a couple of weeks ago.

Here's Spaz, my ADHD cat:

This is Jinx, my lioness:

And the "cute one", Saelah:

They are the biggest blessing in my life right now and are keeping me sane. Especially, right now. Amanda was getting after me about some stupid stuff the other night & I lost my temper. We haven't said a word to each other since Monday. I don't really know what to do. I've never lost my temper like that with Amanda, and every time I try to say a pleasant word to her, she looks and me with that look of complete disgust, and I run into my room like the coward that I am. I hope that it'll pass, but I guess we'll see about that.

Anyway, school's going good. I just found out what my final project is for my vertebrates class; here's a description:

"Fantastical Functional Animals

Over the course of the semester, we will be covering many body systems (muscular, integument, skeletal, etc.), including their form and function. Your job is to combine these systems together into a working organism by the end of the semester in order to gain a better understanding of the vertebrate body.
The organism cannot be extant (currently living). Extinct animals are applicable, as are creatures made from scratch and fantasy (i.e. dragons, monsters, etc.), however you must make them anatomically realistic. In other words, no six-limbed animals, animals with more than one head, or tentacle monsters from Planet X.
Groups may have up to four individuals, and evaluation forms will be filled out at the end of the project for individual grading."

My group already has a pretty good idea of what we're going to do. It's going to be awesome & as soon as I have some scketches done, I'lll show you guys. I'm so pumped for this.

And regardless of the current roommate akwardness, I had a great day today! Stoner and I went swimming this morning and had a blast. I haven't done any proper swimming since I was 13 and in just the hour that she and I were in the pool, I improved. Stoner competed all through high school, so my competetiveness kicked in, and I ended up pushing myself pretty hard. It was a lot of fun. The endorphines from that have been working for me all day. I had study with Stoner after that, and then Botany lab and work. I got home, made myself egg rolls for dinner, and played with me cats. It was a good day.

OH! And last night was my first night of fencing for the year. I haven't been in the game since January, but I was still kicking ass last night! I fought a new guy, who got so frustrated with how fast I was that he just gorged me in the chest with his rapier. He knocked the breath right out of me and today I've got a big ole bruise on my chest. Badge Of Honor! :D

Anyway, I need to go write up my lab report for Chem. Night all!

	Your cats are adorable! Sorry 'bout the roomate thing. I'm sure it'll be ok in time. Bad fights happen. I had a pretty bad moment with one of my friends during this summer (road trips will teach you knew things about a person I tell you what), but eventually we figured things out and were fine. So, you have a friend named Stoner? Is that her real first name? o.0 (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No, her name's Jessica Stoner, but we all call her Stoner. It's not meant as an insult, we actually call her Stoner as a loving nickname. She considers anyone who is comfortable enough to call her Stoner is a close friend. That, and it's a really good way to set her apart from the 5 dozen other Jessicas that I know. :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Aww! Your kitties are so cute! I'm glad we finally get to see pictures of them. Sorry about the roommate problems, (I'm sure it'll be okay) but I'm glad that you're having fun and being active with Stoner and other people who luff you! ^_^ (Reply to this)

	XP I'm proud of them, because they're there because I pissed him off because I'm good! I'm not a masochist FYI. :P (Reply to this) (Parent)

Dude!!! I've had to miss the last two weeks of fencing & I'm so pissed off!!! As I was explaining to Professor Mink yesterday, "The whole of the earth decided to split open and swallow me whole for the last two weeks just to regurgitate me 15 minutes before several major exams." I'll explain later. But as for the cats, ya want one??? Again, I will explain later. :J

	They're still fighting. I don't know what to do. I might have to find a new home for Saelah. I don't know what to do. I don't want to give her away, and I especially don't want to give her to anyone in the midwest. I finally am able to breathe today, so I'm doing some research. I hope it's not too late to get them to work things out with them. (Reply to this) (Parent)
