Again with an update of randomness

Gaaah! The sun! THE SUN!!

(insert the standard Seattle goth-girl whinging about hot weather here.)

I'm discovering that it's not so much that I don't like the heat (and I don't, believe me), but being out in strong sunlight really does give me welts. Not a sunburn, but raised, itchy welts. It's a good thing I have a collection of parasols, that's for sure. Now where do I get my GothCard stamped for extra points?

The kitties are still overwhelmingly cute, and are showing signs of getting along better. Ruthven hopped up onto the couch with Trinian last night, and she only hissed a little bit, and didn't do anything else but sniff at him. Ruthven hopped down after a minute, but still! Progress!

Tzepesh is fascinated by running water; as soon as I start running a bath, he has to stand with his paws on the edge of the tub, watching. He also walks along the edge of the tub while I'm in it, but hasn't (yet) tried to walk on the water or jump on me. I bet it's only a matter of time, tho'.

By way of pennydreadful's journal, A faux fur stole.(Yes, that was a clicky link!) A faux fur stole made to look like a vintage fox stole complete with the head and tail. In bright pink. Of COURSE I want one. Well, I want a custom one in cupcake pink. But the little beady eyes! And the mouth that opens and closes! I could do little puppet shows with it to amuse myself! Why are you all backing away from me?

Coloring books are fun and silly stress relief. No, you get no other context.

Hawaii = hell to me.

Really? :O I went there once and I would love to go back someday. It was so lush and green and beautiful. Also, the breeze coming off the ocean is so nice that it makes the heat less hot. There are also the most amazing rainstorms and the most beautiful rainbows afterwards. :)

I was surprised because I had always thought it was all beaches and hot, but it's more green and alive than even here. It also rains more than it does here.

So yeah. I have much love for Hawaii. ;)

I am extremely allergic to Lillies, and other flowers that grow wild all over Hawaii. And I am extremely allergic to pineapple, I can't have anything that has any in it. I have seen enough of the photos from friends trips there, and from when I worked at an office that had it's home officer there, to know there are flowers that make me ill *everywhere*.

Ahh yes, it is a very lush and alive place. It is also very fragrant, so I could see why, if you were allergic to those things, it could be bad. :(

exactly. All those lovely fragrant flowers make it hard for me to breathe, and also make me nauseous. *sigh* It is soooo pretty in the pictures, but I shan't be setting foot anywhere near it.
