Today

Today was a little better than normal. I felt like I had a few months ago. To top it all off, before the clock hits 12, I get a sickeningly sweet message from my friend. What happened? I felt so bad and run down, and now suddenly, I feel awake again. I'm gonna blame the cats.

__________________

I ordered my electric drum set (and a 3d pen bc I think I will like it better than the printer), and it will be here Wednesday. It'll be my reward for surviving the day; seeing as I'll be at the farm again and I have a meeting, I'm expecting to have some light judgmental discussions laces throughout. I'll get to come home and have a terrible time setting them up, likely having technical issues from me not doing something right, before I finally figure it out and have a working drum set! That's usually how it goes with everything electric I buy, anyway.

Also, I got the money for my name change! So tomorrow, I will work on getting the forms filled out and posting them! Dropping off mail is one of the few things I can do alone, as I live across the street from the post office. It'll also be nice to step into a place I don't usually go to. I've been getting bored of my surroundings.

The cat sanctuary we are starting is feeling better. We have a lot of leads, and I'm confident if we get the word out, we can garner the support and donations we need to get started. The goals currently are to get a small, reparably dilapidated building, bring in the volunteers we collected who are willing to help us fix it up and build what we need, and make a small rescue solely for stray cats and students at first. Many of the town's overpopulation of cats come from the local uni - kids having to move out and dumping their cats because they can't take them home. It sickens me to think about it. But it's a big issue because these dumb kids aren't fixing their cats, so they make MORE cats. Even the fixed ones - Domesticated cats are called "domesticated" for a reason. Aside from the fact that I am against "owning pets," you do NOT abandon an animal that way. Imagine adopting a child, and one day you're like, "Hmm, I wanna move into a smaller apartment, so you're gonna have to go. But I dunno anyone who will take you, so, uh, good luck!" and you drop them out the door. Not to mention the emotional damage that happens (yes, to cats as well, it's an objective fact that they are not unaffected by abandonment. I've also personally seen this in the cat I have been living with for years)

It's mind-boggling the state of how humans view other animals. I desperately hope we can make a dent in this. One thing I always want to note, since people are weirdly aggressive about the cat vs. dog thing (or bird), is that More than one animal in this weird category we created can exist at once. All of them matter equally and are all as important and valid. They all should have the same consideration given. I'm working with cats because I know how to communicate better with cats, I understand them, and I know how to act to make sure they understand me as best as I can manage. I CANNOT read a dog, so outside my personal experiences, I wouldn't be good at advocating for them.

I am, indeed, a crazy cat dude, but even if someone doesn't like cats, I have an excellent reason for them to support my cause anyway;

Say the ideal situation happens; Declawing cats is illegal, there are mandatory cat shelters like there are for dogs, and cats aren't seen as property and are treated as they should be; with all of the respect given to any life. The best part? If this were to happen, it could NEVER just be cats. All of this would carry over at LEAST for dogs as well. At LEAST mammals would be treated better and cared for. The biggest part I find value in is people starting to understand they can't just treat an animal as an accessory to their life; it's a friend. You can't just have an animal in your home; give it the minimum for life and MAYBE comfort, snap a few photos, and call it a day. Interacting with them as equals is so, so meaningful and fulfilling. When you start to understand this creature, you are sharing your home with, your whole world changes.

I used to feel alone as a human being, not as an individual but as a species. We used to have more human species, but now it's just sapiens. I thought that was sad; we were alone. But when I finally opened my eyes to the world around me, I now feel like I can't get any alone time! Everyone is so unique, even the insects. I felt terrible when I saw someone crush a roach. Every animal is equal in value. Sadly, we're all different, which makes it hard for people to see that, but we are as incredible as each other. Seeing that changed everything for me. I have so much more love in my heart now…

All the asks! In a really nice way!

All the asks, minus the attitude! Sorry this took forever, I just finally had some time to sit and do it.

1. What was the last present you gave? I gave one of the girls in my EMT class some apples off my neighbor’s tree as a thank you for creating a complete medical terminology quizlet and then sharing it.

2. What was the last present you received? My stepdad has a 3D printer at work and he made me a little block thing with the Walt Disney castle/signature.

3. What animal best represents your personality? Bears.

4. What are you most afraid of? Failure.

5. Who is your favourite villain? Right this second? Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog.

6. Who is your favourite family member? (we all have one, admit it) My sister.

7. If you could name your own planet what would it be called? Fluffsville.

8. Stars or Moon? Stars.

9. Do you have/want kinds? I’m gonna assume this means kids. No.

10. What is your greatest life goal? Happiness. And also visiting every Disney park.

11. What is something you can’t live without? Music. I almost always have something playing. Right now it’s my ‘Halloweenie’ playlist on Spotify.

12. What is a place you associate with your childhood? A specific local library.

13. How was your first kiss/how would you like your first kiss to go? It went terribly. I got cornered like a wounded animal and as soon as he left I scrubbed my lips with the fancy sugar scrub I reserve for special occasions. My second first kiss (new boy) was much nicer, even though he missed.

14. What is some life advice you have acquired? If the worst thing that happens today is that you messed up on the radio, it’s been a good day. And keep a spare pair of boots polished, just in case.

15. Who in history has influenced you? David Bowie and Walt Disney.

16. What is something strange that you think about often? Simulation and consciousness theories. It makes my brain hurt, but also, what if none of this is real, beyond what I can see and experience at this very moment?

17. Baths or Showers? I usually take showers for convenience’s sake, but I do love a nice soak with fun bath bombs or Epsom salts.

18. Tea of Coffee? Before 1400? Coffee. After 1400? Tea.

19. Alcohol or soft drink? What do the hard sodas (Henry’s, Not Your Father’s, etc.) count as? Because the first thing I bought alcohol-wise from the grocery store after I turned 21 last month was a six pack of hard grape soda. I’m kinda a lightweight, I’ll be real with you.

20. Writing or typing? Both, but I prefer handwriting stuff.

21. What is you most favourite thing in your bedroom? Ugh that’s like picking a favorite child. I guess, right this second, it’s the Greg (from Over the Garden Wall) figure on my desk.

33. Tell me about your siblings, if you have any? I have a sister. She’s great.

34. What is a topic you would like to talk about more? I really wish I had more people to discuss religion with, and not just Christianity. I think religion is super interesting, and it’s tough to find people who will discuss it objectively.

35. What are you a big advocate for? Seeking counseling. Everyone should see a counselor. We’d be much happier as a society.

36. If you’re comfortable to answer, what is the sickest you have ever been? This past January I got the flu or something after doing a bunch of traveling, and I was so out of it I forgot that I texted the Detective I was interning for at the time that I was sick and not coming in, and that he responded with like ‘feel better’ or whatever and I even responded to that. So I spent the whole day going ‘oh nooooo I’m a no call no show.’

37. When were you the most scared in your life? I woke up from a really horrible dream and for about twenty minutes I couldn’t figure out if it was real or not.

38. Ever had a paranormal experience? Yes! My grandma’s house is absolutely haunted, and when I’d be there alone watching TV in the living room I’d hear footsteps like someone coming to see what I was watching. They weren’t malevolent or anything, but it was a little unsettling.
