It was a joke Lizkins, perhaps I shoulda used some :teef: to make it obvious.

i think you suffer from the - you get peeved at certain chicks which clouds thine judgement towards all chickies. I too used to hate chicks, but then i am one of em and friends with many, kinda contradictory huh! Soooo, its just certain individuals that are numnuts! :smt045

Fuck

Way to fuck up, fuckhead.

The wrath of my co-workers is about to hit me like the emperor's blue lightning, only waaaay more scary cos I am the dark side who FUCKED UP. 'Don't mess this up' they said, 'everything hinges on this' they said.

Does anyone have any really important work that needs to be totally screwed up by a useless :tard:??

Thanks lady.

Not in the best headspace atm.


I wish had qualities like
Sympathy
Fidelity
Sobriety
Sincerity
Humility

Instead I got lunacy

I wish I could fit myself in my pocket
And tie myself to a rocket
And send myself to outer space
I wish I had a different face

I wish I had one good reason why
I should stay
How'd I get myself
Into this place?

shes not old, really, shes eight.

and im not plannig on being human about it and trying to keep her alive so i can 'love her longer'

shes had a great life, many adventures with me. moved to three states, lived in crazy warehouses, had loving rleationships with many other dogs and cats, and humans, and will be gonig out while shes still purring like a motor.

so sorry to hear it Kitty. Just remember you're doing the right thing by Mowie and putting her out of any pain she may feel down the track. It's little comfort...but i'm sure it's a massive decision to have to make.

So to hear about your rat too Deviant. :(
