life

So, I haven't really blogged about my life in a while...so I'll just show you some important life lessons that I've learned since then:

1. Cats are evil.
We visited these people who have this little cat, Mrvica. (That means "flea", by the way.) So, I was trying to coax it out of under the dining room table. So I was petting it, and Mrvica enjoyed, and then I pulled my hand away, and what does little Mrvica do? Scratch me! And it HURT! Cats are sooo evil. :'(

2. Don't walk around the city in flip-flops.
What can I say? I wanted to break them in, so I wore the flip-flops. By the end of the day my feet were covered in blisters and other annoying injuries.

3. T-shirts with funny phrases are awesome.
Well, ok, I knew this before. But still. I bought 2 t-shirts. One has these cute little faces on them and another says "sushi saved my life". :P

4. Little kids can be annoying as heck. Don't be fooled by their cuteness.
There was this little boy whose parents are friends with my parents. So, since I was the one nearest to his age group (I guess being 8 years older doesn't count as enough separation), obviously I was given the job of looking after him. Even though I'm not really a big fan of spending more than 5 minutes with little kids. (Good thing I never had any younger siblings...)
Anyway, so here's a little snippet of basically what the entire 2 hours I spent him was like. And yes, I did actually say all that.
So, imagine this scene while the boy is playing with toy cars and I'm reading The Cartoon History of the Universe (awesome book, by the way):
Him: "Wouldn't it be nice if I were a prince and you were a princess and I had to save you from horrible monsters?"
Me: "Not for you. I'd kick you in the balls for being a little chauvinist piglet and save myself from horrible monsters, thank you very much."
What can I say? I'm not exactly inspired to censor my thoughts for little kids.
Him: "Can we go outside and play with cars?"
Me: "Don't you ever think about anything besides cars?"
Him: (thinks for a while) "Play with airplanes?"
Me: "I've lost hope for you."

5. Ok, so cats aren't that evil.
At that place there were also these cute little cats, a mother cat and 2 kittens. By the end of the day, I'd gotten the mother cat to allow me to pet her, but the kittens were still afraid of me. It was really funny when I was petting the mom and the kittens were watching us and saying, "She hasn't died yet..."

6. For goodness' sake! Don't go walking around the city in flip-flops!
Ok, so I did it again today. I thought it was going to be a SHORT walk, and then my parents drag me around the city! Well, ok, I should have known better. But still...

Well, that's basically my life as of now!
