"Hmmm. Hedonic treadmill. Yeah, I should get myself one of those."</business_cat>

Aaaand the second-from-top hit for "New Orleans Furries" on Google is a Livejournal that last updated in 2011.

Well. Finding a new social circle down here might be a tad more difficult than I thought.

On the other hand, I pirated the entire series run of Columbo, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Meh. Feeling like a big nuisance again, someone people don't really want to see pop up in chat but they'll put up with until I go away.

Missing heavy conversations. Peg and I have a pretty damn good thing going but we've tread all the territory there is to explore, at least for now.

Thank god for the comic. Hope enough people like it that we can justify continuing it. In the meantime, trying to adjust and maybe think of some ways to renew things down here.

I feel like i'm just too old to start over, and have alienated/bored/annoyed far too many people to go back. Even if I visited Seattle, I'd feel like nothing but a big lame imposition. The dream of a Big Friendly Community is just good and dead, along with anything except Parallax that still resembles magic in my life.

Worse, I look around at the rotten shape some of my friends are in, and I feel a lot of survivor's guilt. 'Cause all my fundamentals are reasonably OK right now. I'm in the black for the first time in ages, cost of living is dirt-cheap down here, and this city is consistently gorgeous.

I feel like I'm one of the only ones who got a lifeboat, and now I'm complaining that there isn't a wet bar too. But I can't pretend I don't miss the days when I literally had more attention than I could deal with. I can't shake the feeling that I'm the one, entirely, who blew it here.

@hummingrain oh gosh <3

brain need go fast bean juice

woke up feeling really depressed like worst kitty depressed but then i really annoyed peggy by rooting around in the bag of fish treats we got for the kittens next door and she bit me and now i feel a lot better

think imma go downtown and argue with some street preachers its that kind of day

@chandra We pet the HELL out of that cat, we just weren't able to capture it on film—skittish little fuzzgirl! In fact, prior to about 48 hours (and half a sack of Sixfish Brand kitty treats) ago, the answer would have been "because she won't let me touch her without running away." Sugarfoot is one of those old-fashioned kittygirls who won't get pet on the first date, and I respect that! The best things in life take time! <3

@troodon OH GOSH SO BIG NOW

=== KITTY ALERT KITTY ALERT ===

To borrow a phrase from @troodon, we definitely have our very own "Hey You Don't Live Here."

Pardon the laundry pile. I admit tiger underwear is not a pretty sight.

@JulieSqveakaroo I... hrmm... my main association with "exotic meat jerky" was a small truck by the side of the road that I saw on a roadtrip to FurCon with @anthracite and @acetone_kitten. It was in the middle of nowhere, in a place that probably didn't even have squirrels, and yet, they had like fifteen different jerkied lifeforms listed on their signboard. I'm about 30% sure if you asked them for "human" they would have pulled you aside and whispered that they could arrange something...

@JulieSqveakaroo I would have given so much to (a) be there (b) with a slingshot (c) full of stink loads (d) mechanized for automatic fire.

IT'S MY DAMN RIGHT AS AN AMERICAN TO MAKE PROUD BOYS SMELL LIKE ROTTEN EGGS =^_____^=

Also, um, I just kinda like State Fairs. Eat anything good, roo?

@hystericempress "All love is fundamentally selfish"... sure sounds like a certain one or your ex-partners in particular. -_-

@mawr I'm saying this *partially* tongue in cheek, but now I'm wondering if that means someday #%!#$!#% puzzle-block games are gonna be required to stop coloring things in shades of blurple and grorange, so us poor bastards with color blindness can actually play them. ;p

(IT IS THE TWENTY-FIRST FUCKING CENTURY. AND THERE IS *STILL* NO TIME FOR PROTOANOMALY KLAX. 😾​)

@LexYeen@snouts.online that would be so nice — i'm constantly painfully aware that my redrafting alarms/annoys some people, but my OCD will not let me let a miswording or typo stand without tormenting me over it... >_>;

@Phorm *flicks your head with paw and giggles at the kickballish POOMF*

Did I mention the American right has pretty much always been totally batshit paranoid and detached from reality?
