H'okay. So. We've got China, India, Israel...
Ten points to your house of choice for the first person who can tell me where my subject line came from-- WITHOUT using Google!
Last couple of days have been an emotional roller coaster. Senor Chapi died early yesterday morning. I know I had warnings about his failing health (and <3<3<3 to the love and support my friends and family have given me!), but... honestly, I thought he was getting better. He started picking up and running around and being joyful and loud, and then, two nights ago, I look into his cage and he's laying on the floor of it, struggling for breath.
So yeah. It REALLY hit me hard. Even though I knew he didn't have much longer, and even though he was the MOST messed-up bird ever, and even though I don't even LIKE birds. So I pretty much spent yesterday alternating between bawling and sleeping. Though my family ROCKS. My dad made a special trip to Wal-Mart for me, to try and find something to cheer me up (he got me the animated copy of Charlotte's Web on DVD. To which, BAWLING when Charlotte died. I'm a mess), and went through the effort to make a kick-ass dinner of salmon, greenbeans, and mashed potatoes (he said that he wasn't making it for ME, but I was like, "Really? Would you even have THOUGHT to make it if you weren't trying to think of a way to cheer me up?" He got quiet and shifty-eyed XD)
Creative projects!!! I made a little Mad Hatter's Hat earring (my mom complimented "Nice leprechaun hat!" -_- but my four-year-old nephew exclaimed, "TEA PARTY HAT!!!" over it) and freaking TOILED over a Cheshire Cat head. It was painful, but I managed to the point that my nephew was making me show everybody the "cat," even before I've painted on the things like whiskers. Now, I'm working on a little snitch that turned out beautifully, but I need to pick up more earring hooks. Between the little pink dinosaurs I made myself, the little purple ones I made Amberly, the penguins with flame throwers, the pirate penguins, the ninja penguins, and the Alice and Wonderland earrings, I've gone through the hooks at a crazy rate. But... yay being creative!
(edit: AND I'm trying to write again. It's a secret. A secret present. For a birthday in early August. Because I like writing this person presents. Though I can't guarantee anything. This is a massive bunny I want to play with and, unless I get my bum into gear and grind my nose into it, it may turn into nothing)
