FERRETS!
so as I said in my earlier ridiculous post about the awesome that is Stephen Colbert/Canada OTP, I was gone for the day. I went to The Cousins', for they have three baby ferrets! Kara texted me last night about it and asked if I want to go see them, I said UM, DUH WTF or thereabouts, and so today I woke up BEFORE NOON GASP OMQ and went on over. They are so insanely adorable it hurts. sometimes literally, since they're nippers and all. they're only about 9 weeks old! They were only going to get two, but Kara said the place had JUST THE THREE in an aquarium and she was like "I can NOT leave one here all alone", so they took all three. :D
They name all their ferrets after baseball players, and in order of the alphabet. so they had Aryn (..for Aaron whoever; the ferret was female) and Bronson. and now they have Casey, DiMaggio and Eppa. Eppa is the only girl, and DiMaggio is the runt. HAVE I MENTIONED THE ADORABLE?
Naturally, I have pictures.
..okay, I lied. first, have some snow! these two are from.. a week or so ago. preeeeetty snow on trees! ::hearts::
okay, now to the ferret bratlings. :D let me go in backwards order, BECAUSE I CAN.
Eppa! she is the biter. I mean, mostly it's just nips that vary in sharpness, but man, one well placed thumb gnaw gave me a puncture wound. :P it didn't bleed, though!
my aunt with Eppa.
Delaney is.. weird. ;P
having fun crawling all over Destini :D
Casey! he is the lightest coloured of them, and has a stripe between his ears. :D
sure, he ended UP all alert...
...but he started out like this. ;P
..I think this is Casey. I can't tell from the side! but again, Laney is weird.
DiMaggio! he's in the middle, colour wise, and has a mask. he was all lick-y.
still snoozing.
the ADORABLE. and tiny Paul Gross Arms.
he did finally wake up after this..
to eat my fingers!
and sniff at me and look like he's crawling up my nose. :D :D :D
FERRETS. I have wanted my own since elementary school, okay.
so anyway, my day was filled with ferret-fun, and then the youngest two went to sleep over at their aunt's (she is 9) and the older three (and the 14 year old aunt) went to see Percy Jackson. so while Ben was carting them all around, Kara and I played Mario Bros on the WII. and uh, we both suck? and it was RIDICULOUSLY HILARIOUS. once Ben got back we had him join in, and the hilarity of our three players like, shoving each other forward and jumping on each other's heads and our Yoshi's EATING EACH OF US and just the general suckiness of our playing? yeah. I almost threw up, I was laughing so hard. seriously. Kara's Yoshi swallowed my player BY ACCIDENT the first time and when I was spit out we started dying, and Ben MISSED IT and was laughing even as he asked what the hell happened. so then naturally we all had to try swallowing each other. (that's what she said.)
the amount of times I died was crazy. and in the stupidest ways! and we just - we weren't very GOOD, and by the time the two of THEM reached Bowser Jr or whoever, they died in seconds. I just. every time Kara or I died we'd like, practically scream our disappointment. either that or we'd just be like "oh, bye then." and it's totally harder the more players you have, because of the aforementioned bumping into each other, knocking each other off of cliffs and corners and swings and things, accidentally killing each other with turtle shells, etc etc. you know, everyday stuff.
basically, it was A BLAST. we got ice cream on the way to pick up the girls from the movie and before dropping me off at home, and deemed it a celebration of not even beating ONE WORLD in the game. \o/
that's how we roll on our saturday nights.
