nu-huh the proper one is made with fresh (grown) tomatoes :p

I understand your pain.
I need coffee right now. I have water.

I also feel like I need to sleep for a very long time. I have a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner that I have to present gift cards at while making a small speech.

I should be mowing the lawn before it rains. There's that dinner I mentioned.

I want to cat. I am human.

Shit.

yeah, my cat now has his own pillow on the bed, my pillow below it. Saves me waking to tangled hair and a paw keeping me in place. My cat has a good life. Ignore what he says about the dog.

I can bring my own pillow if I etherically visit in my cat form at your house?

[mee-eep.livejournal.com]

etherically - like that word had to google it ;)

Such good manners, he just commandeered one of mine and called it his.

[charisstoma.livejournal.com]

Or perhaps even better and maybe what I was really trying for:

ethereally -- not composed of matter "that ethereal attribute that every performer should have—charisma*"

Synonyms - bodiless, immaterial, formless, incorporeal, insubstantial, nonmaterial, nonphysical, spiritual, unbodied, unsubstantial


*charisma ---- isn't that a fun coincidence.

[mee-eep.livejournal.com]

every performer should have a Charis ;)
You're an in-demand commodity!

[charisstoma.livejournal.com]

I'm a-musing.

[mee-eep.livejournal.com]

very. that explains your gift for plunnying too.

cat logic - What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine if I want it.

I am currently sitting in the chair of my benevolent master's chair-arm.

And getting pawed at occasionally for scritches ;)

[charisstoma.livejournal.com]

My favorite is if a gentle paw doesn't get the result the claws get flexed ever so slightly in just that paw.

[mee-eep.livejournal.com]

Oh yes the gentle tap with claws to tell you he could be scramming you.

Glad I'm not working tonight, my cat generously provided me with a fur top and trousers this morning. I'd tried to tell him it wasn't aproved of for humans but he insisted. Enough fur to make a spare cat *eyeroll*

Remember I kill plants. No fresh grown tomatoes exist in my universe.
Too. Winter.

[mee-eep.livejournal.com]

lol I bought some new plants today, being very optimistic ;)
