[lostcosmonaut]

well, there's this ultrapopular idea floating around that people should relax and be themselves, but den there's all this counterevidence discouraging anyone ever from being themself, not even in private. My cat just does not care about this issue one whit.

Kevin Shields: I do not care about this issue one whit.

MZA: OK I wasn't even asking

Hello MZA

[wellsjc]

The kitties are keeping me company right now and they're being very love-filled. One is next to my side and the other is next to my leg. Both are purring and seem very happy.

hey chuck yuo are lucky

my guy is hissing and throwing his head against th screen door in protest of his mortal enemy, a stray who visits every night

--mza.

It's amazing how quickly they make enemies.

[wellsjc]

Kitties need to all learn how to love more. Tati just decided to harass Nara for a bit and now neither of them are running around the house.

idiotic pet social dynamics

[lostcosmonaut]

god, I love when cats harass dogs and vice versa but still more or less get along!--mza.

Go Laika, to the stars to spread your faecal love.

that fucking dog never came back

[lostcosmonaut]

is that a dare, because I feel that Laika will do it or already has done it.

Very interesting and I have similar thoughts.

But, loving all dogs does not mean that you allow them to whale the everloving Jesus out of you, correct? You confront the dog's wolf, but not in such a way that you allow that wolf to EAT U 4 BREAKFAST.

So, perhaps you can figure out how to love all human beings, and confront the idiots' inner (child/asshole/villain) and face it without letting it kick your ass.

being on th internet in my dreams

[lostcosmonaut]

that is what I am trying to say, I don't know if people have inner whatevers, whereas now I am confident that dogs do. Or WORSE: what if people do have inner ________s, and th inner ________s are just as incomprehensible/unmanageable as their surfaces. I wish I could put this in a more scientific/medical way so that I could ask you for yr professional advice, but my thoughts have not advanced that far yet. Incidentally I just had a dream that I was searching on Google and no matter what search term I entered, yr Internet diary was th first hit. Not sure how you did that, but it was v. unscientific + brilliant.--mza.

[aparecida]

heh. I am not inherently either scientific or medical. It's a game I can play well for the purposes of my education. But it's not really my inner __________.

Personally, I'm not so convinced that I have an inner whatever. But maybe it's just that I'm so close to it that I can't see it -- forest for the trees or something like that.

ps - I'll be in yr area in early July.

my inner blank respects yr inner blank s power

[lostcosmonaut]

well it looks as if I will be in KY briefly in late June and briefly in early July! Does this mean we will miss eachother in th most symmetrical possible way?! I hope some overlap happens, will keep you posted.

No, I know you're conversant in extra-scientifical fields, I just enjoy asking people for their "professional advice" and listening to them run wild w/ it ...!--mza.

dis post makes me ^_______^

I started reading Fables and I like it pretty good so far. Bigby is my fav, I think. I wanted to adopt a part wild-cat cat recently named Percy but next time we visited he was gone D;

well i am ecstatic you are that face

[lostcosmonaut]

eran loves Fables but I have never read it yet, sheeiitt, ah gotta borrow thet from him before he move to Hawaii; you would be a great cat owner, better than me, I know it.--mza.

There is truth here

[animate]

still harboured racism for little dogs, who were not much better than rats

Cats are still the best.

when i love rats i will know that my personality has been one hundred percent extinguished

[lostcosmonaut]

i think I am treating them equally now, but my inner _____, if it exists, is more like a cat.--mza.
