Baby ratters! + Social Weirdness.
I gots me some baby rats! Two little boy ones. One dumbo and one regular hooded rat. They are so cute! They still aren't really used to or particularly fond of me yet, but i am ecstatic. <3
Awwww adorbz ratties! the names i am most leaning toward at the moment are Diploid and Haploid. Diploid for the big one, Haploid for the little grey one. Ben suggested Gonzo and Raoul as a tribute to Hunter S. Thompson, which is a great idea too... so i am waffling a little bit. But...i am leaning towards Diploid and Haploid...have always wanted to name a couple of animals that. They could be Dips and Haps for short! Plus, if i ever get a female (after they are neutered of course) i could name her Polyploid! :D <3
In other news. Weird happening: I have a guy friend named Brian who i thought was just super nice. I told him about Ben, in fact mentioned Ben a lot "bla bla bla boyfriend boyfriend, my boyfriend, bla bla bla, my boyfriend" just to get the point across that i was unavailable, as i have done before in the past with friends of the opposite sex. Well...today i got a text from Brian asking me to leave everything behind and move with him to Houston, Texas! GAH. Texted him back with something along the lines of "Gee, that is really flattering, but i have my boyfriend whom i LOVE here, friends, a job, and things are good and falling into place in my life." His response was something like "Well okay lovely but call me if you ever change your mind." ARGGGGHHH. I really LIKE having platonic friendships with the opposite sex, so this frustrates me. I thought he was a good friend, but apparently he was just lusting after me. Okay, maybe not just. Friendships and feelings can get muddled and complicated. I guess in the past i had quite a few crushes on male friends (both before and during my relationship with Greg), in fact lots of friendships start this way for me, but i got fairly good at transmuting those feelings into platonic love. Just because you crush on someone doesn't mean it is a good idea to have a romantic relationship of any kind with them, and sometimes that feeling of falling in love with a friend (or in love AT as the case often may be) is just your brain's way of telling you that they are an awesome admirable person, even if not the type you really should be in love with. And anyway, the fact that this guy wanted me to drop everything in my life and come live with him in Texas without even knowing me really that well...its a little bit scary. I don't know if i want to keep in contact with this dude now...which is too bad, he is a neat artist and in some ways a cool guy, despite this recent assholery.
