Our ancient kitty Bob has taken to occupying our 45 lb Lab mix's bed. Poor softy doesn't have the nerve to kick Bob out and always wants us to do it for him. Bob gives love bites and the Lab can't stand it. We'll have had Bob 15 years this year and he was an indeterminate age when we got him; he was definitely past kittenhood, but wasn't showing signs of old age yet, so there was no telling. That puts him somewhere in the 'ancient' age category.
Two of the stray kittens I mentioned a while back have gotten adopted. The two boys from the litter got really friendly and settled down inside; one of the girls was hardcore feral and got trapped and sent off to Animal Control. The other girl got knocked up and hasn't been seen in a few days.
Anyway, Spencer and Marty are both sweethearts. Marty has a freakish amount of muscle that doesn't show as well since he's gained some weight, but he still feels like he might have a Terminator chassis under that fur. Both are brown/black tabbies with white, but Spencer is a long hair. They'll both cuddle with mom on the couch, but Spencer will only stay for 5 minutes or so before launching himself away. They love sleeping together and have gotten themselves in the absolute cutest poses.
My BDSM interest is proceeding apace. At February's play party, I almost got to spank a girl, but she had to leave early. And I've met a girl who has 'deflower a guy' on her bucket list. She's cool and touches me every so often at karaoke. I'm taking that as a good sign. I'll see where this goes.
I watch a bunch of shows on PATV and recently I've been catching up on episodes of Extra Credits I've missed. Then I got to this episode about games compulsion. Instead of their usual clinical analysis, one of the show's writers gave a testimonial about how he used to use games to ignore the world. It was really hard to watch. I saw a lot of myself in what he used to do. Why go out and be social with people when staying in and playing a game with supply you with a known quantity of enjoyment? From day one, the policy my mom taught me was "Stick with the sure thing. Don't gamble." Dating is inherently a gamble so I never realized why I avoided it, but I steered clear all the same.
Edit: on FetLife, I've used Kirby and the MCP as avatars and gotten positive comments on both IRL. :D
