INTERESTING MORNING.
I woke up to the sound of my cats displeased growling coming from the back porch. Usually, this means they're engaged in stand-off with a neighborhood cat that made it into my yard, and since my boy had gotten slashed up in a fight once, I'm always quick on my feet to go break it up.
I get over to the sliding door, and they're all puffed and arched, having a stare-down at... my busted dresser. I figured there's a cat hiding somewhere in the splintered remains, so I go out to shoo it away and herd my cats back inside.
The dresser was a cheap hunk-o-junk from Ikea. When we revamped my room back in 2006, I got the most expensive bed frame I could and skimped on everything else. Despite how cheap the dresser was initially, it didn't help that it was assembled improperly by myself, and when I was sick with a fever no less. Yesterday, I attempted to relocate it, and moving it a mere foot resulted in the back cracking down the middle, drawers falling apart, screws and nails popping out, and the frame literally crumbling in my hands. It's been busted for a while, but now it was rendered 100% useless. So I just said "FUCK IT, and dragged its corpse to the back porch.
Anyway, after getting my cats inside and inspecting the dresser, I found it is now housing a very large, very angry, opossum. I'm not really sure what to do here, ahaha. I guess I'll leave the poor thing alone and hope it leaves on its own accord, but I'm kind of worried my mom's boyfriend is going to show up with his dog, which would... most certainly tear the thing to shreds. Or at least terrorize it.
Hm, I guess I'll leave a note for Sherm telling him to check the backyard before letting Buck run amok. 'Cause I'd be really upset if the possum got hurt. I love possums ;n; And with how aggressively it was behaving, I have a slight suspicion it's a female with babies. I could be wrong, but the last time we had a opossum in our yard, it just ran away.

Disney Movie: I LIKE HOW THIS GETS ITS OWN CATEGORY. But uh, since I can't pick an absolute favorite here either, Pinocchio. Largely in part to its creepiness.

Curse: Like a fuckin' sailor. I'm trying to get better about it, though, because I know it makes me sound unintelligent. Or at least I feel it does.
Shower daily: Generally speaking, yeah.

Dance in the rain: I'll take a stroll in the rain, but you'd be hard pressed to find me dancing in it.

Been Drunk: Y-yeah. I try not to get to the point of drunkenness when drinking anymore, but with how much of a light weight I am, it can be difficult.
Been Stoned/High: Yeahhhh. I was never what I'd call a "druggie" but I certainly experimented.
Eaten Sushi: Yeah, but not for a long while. I've kind of been craving to try it again lately.
Been in Love: Yes, and still very much in love at the moment.
Skipped school: A few times, yeah.
Made prank calls: I did this a lot when I lived in Darrington. It's a popular pass time with hick children, I guess :S
Sent someone a love letter: Nope. I've never been very eloquent, so I prefer to draw my feelings and send people that, which I have done many an occasion.
Stolen something: Yeah. As mentioned earlier, I had a serious case of kleptomania growing up. I remember the first day of Kindergarten I stole all the plastic "play house" food.
