Meloncholy, but that beats the depression any day.

Haven't been posting much.... Not a lot to say... which seems odd, since so much has changed.

The new place is great and I am starting to settle in. After only two years living alone, I am afraid to find that my roomating skills are really rusty. It will take time to adjust.

But I am sure I will adjust faster than Her Royal Highness, The Pirate Tranny Kitty Goddess Afsoun: Bane Of Arachnid Kind And Harbinger Of Podiatric Doom and Helen: The Kitty That Launched A Thousand Ships will. Although there is mostly just a lot of snooty-like ignoring going on, there is also the occasional growling and hissing. So far no major fights though. Knock wood.

The new term started Monday, and so far, I don't have nearly enough hours. I was told there were more coming, but I heard nothing today, so it looks like it is going to be yet another lean few months. You would think I would be used to it by now. Frankly, I am beginning to feel beaten down by it. Maybe that's the point... Things won't turn around until I completely learn how to be poor.

whereispaco is gone.... I took him to the airport at some ungodly hour of the morning this morning so he could fly to Barcelona for the week. He'll be back for a few mere hours in like ten days, but Portland already seems an emptier and more dull place without my grrl.

I am about to go through yet another transformation, I can feel it. One more reason the nickname "Bug" is so apt... like an insect, metamorphosis is part of my life cycle. I wonder what's next?

Stay tuned and pass the tissues.

When I lived in a house of 5 (including me) I was witness to the spectacle of integrating the preexisting two cats and one large dog with the new cat which had never before met another animal since kittenhood much less had to live with them.

It was a war zone like no other. The day the new cat met the dog... it levitated, performed several feats which disproved gravity, ran up and along a wall or two (taking out at least one vase and a shelf) and found its way to the highest point in the house with the exception of making it all the way to the attic.

It went downhill from there for months, and a war of feline bodily functions ensued to the dismay of everyone else in the house as each cat expressed their disdain of the new situation and they attempted to divide the house in to their respective areas ("This 99% of the house is mine, that spot you're standing on right now? Begrudgingly it can be yours")

If a cat could excrete it, it was ejected onto the walls, the floor, the couch. More innocent chachkis fell victim to gravity defying feats and the owner of the new cat explained that the little demon now produced a kitty vocabulary the likes of which he had never before heard nor knew existed.

After months of living with Tom & Jerry on crack the feline expulsions mostly and mercifully were reduced to mere random fire and shots across the bow and it was realized that these hisses, growls and backs arched at a spine crippling 90 degrees, had become the defacto behavior and amounted to little more than theatrics. When the cat was witnessed to walking between the legs of the sleeping dog without incident, we knew. All further feline bitching was answered by us humans with "Oh please" and life went on.

Why do I tell you all this? I dunno... it's early, I haven't had enough coffee and it sounded funny and like the thing to do. And now... I'm going to be late to work if I don't get going.

Relearning to share a space with others isn't so hard and you're better with people than I am. Just don't pee in the corner to mark your space and you'll be just fine.

Enjoy your transformation Bug. :-)

The longer your kitty's name becomes, the snootier she will get.

It's a known fact!

"Helen-ina, she's a beautiful queen-a."

The kitties seem to be coexisting pretty well today.

I find you an easy roommate so far.

I hope you get more work.

I am so glad our Goddesses are coexisitng!!

I am glad you find me an easy roomate so far... You are easy to live with as well. The issues that come up for me are just my stuff and not bad, just not used to them after two years of living alone. I still get startled when I hear you walking...LOL..

Turns out, I actually have too many hours... It's complicated... I'll tell you about it when I get home around 9:30...
