mah girl

I got a good lady. Look at how nice she is. I love her so.

The photo was taken with a friend's Nikon D90. It's an unbelievable camera and I can't wait to get myself one. The camera can take HD video clips as well. Sweeet.

Also, something very unfortunate happened the other night. I went to pick up our 4 month old kitten, Rueben and he decided to freak out. Before I knew anything had happened, I had a claw straight through my lower lip, literally. It entered he top of my lip and popped out just below my lip, where normal skin starts. The worst part was that he couldn't get his claw out and I started screaming like an idiot and crying. Jess was in the other room thinking that I was just being a goof, instead of having a traumatic experience.

I clutched Rueben's arm and held it tight, so he couldn't rip my lip open and ran into the other room where Jess was. She saw what was up and started screaming. She held Rueben up for me while I tried unhooking my lip. It felt very similar to unhooking a fish from a hook. Finally I got myself free and ran to the bathroom to see what the damage was.

It bled a bit, but after about 10 minutes there was no blood and no pain really and it hasn't given me any trouble since. It's a great story and I can say that I involuntarily got my lip pierced by a cat. That's something very few people can say.

you are amazing. seriously. how do you get into this stuff?!

my own story:
two nights ago, i was CouchSurfing in Paris. The only bathroom in the apartment was through the master bedroom, where my host and his gf were sleeping. A little awkward.

I didn't want to go in there. But I desperately needed to go to the bathroom. So I peed in an empty wine bottle in kitchen, and emptied it into a Parisian gutter on the way to work.

Life is amazing.

My cat hasn't ever gotten his claws stuck on my flesh, but he gets his claws stuck on my clothes all the time. Sometimes I just let him remain trapped for a while, helpless, mocking him.

Am I a bad brother because I was hysterically laughing at the idea of you screaming and crying with a cat hanging from your lips? Probably, sorry, but that is a really funny image.

Yeah... it is VERY funny in hindsight. I was screaming like an idiot.
