This made me think of my dear Liziferd Marie who used to plan things with my dog. The dog would distract me and Lizi would get into my food, therefore causing me to share it with her and the dog. Someday I will have to write the Lizi adventures or something. She was a very smart and unique girl. She is greatly missed but never forgotten and always loved. 

The boy rats were also really playful last night and wanted to play tickle games. I would tickle them and they would take off running, then sneak up behind me on the floor and nip at my behind or run up on the futon and pull my hair (neither was very hard :o) They would then run back to me to be tickled again. The boys are so much better behaved than the girls :o) 

Swim lessons start up again tonight and I am excited. I have missed the two weeks off. Wont have the same instructors but it will still be fun and good exercise. 

Absolutely enjoying book 3 of the Noble Dead series. The story is great so far and I like the fact that the authors are husband and wife :o) This shows that spouses can do some things together. 

Been doing lots of thinking and self evaluating and just in general reflection over past relationships and such. They mostly sucked but had some good parts but all of them helped to make me the person I am now. Unfortunately there are still some insecurities that need to be dealt with but that is a day by day thing that I need to deal with :o) Sometimes life lessons are hard. I usually want to rush head first into something but sometimes they need to be handled with care and taken slow. Oh well Time will tell all.....*evil laughter*

My house is driving me crazy. There is no time for myself at the moment. Hopefully things will work out soon so that I can get my own place. Job searching is supposed to be easier with a degree but now that I have one I have not noticed a difference yet. The job market is really bad and there are 112,000 people without jobs right now just in Oregon alone. Most of those have happened since January. Oh well such is life. At least I am earning money for my new computer by helping out with the embroidery. But the question now is "computer or mini vacation?" hmm both sound good at the moment :o) 

Pardon the ramblings as they needed to venture out from my head for a bit. Not sure yet what I should and should not talk about here so am just rambling and keeping it random at the moment. Wont share any truly deep thoughts that I know of.

Association Meme: Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

1) Werewolves
A series of books that I am reading. It is written by Patricia Briggs. There are actually two series that she is writing now that have werewolves as well as many other mythical creatures. In one series the main character is actually a “skin-walker” who turns into a coyote. She is dating the alpha of the local werewolf pack as well as having been raised by the Marrock who is the werewolf leader of the entire North American werewolves. This series takes place in the Tri-Cities in Washington.

The other series takes place in Montana and the main pack that follows the Marrock where he lives. The main characters in this are one of the Marrock’s sons and his mate who is an omega werewolf. She is someone who helps soothe the others. Both series are very good and this is an amazing author. Patricia Briggs has helped to stir my interest in the many mythological creatures of history.

2) Vampires
Anne rice is one of my all-time favorite authors. Her Vampire Chronicles were my first main reading about vampires. I have since loved to read vampire stories and study them throughout history. They are one of the most romantic of the mythical evil creatures.

Then there is Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series). This is a truly great series and everyone should at least see it once. Angel was the spin-off and that was almost as good. The vampire character of Spike (James Marsters) is one of the sexiest vampires ever created! Joss Whedon is brilliant when it comes to creating characters. Spike is the epitome of vampire hotness. He has the bad boy thing working for him but he is actually a really caring guy when it comes to the person he loves. A definite must see!

3) Rats
At this moment I have 21 as pets. They are very intelligent and are a big passion in my life. I have had rats as pets for five years now and they have been a wonderful learning experience for everyone who has come into my life. There is a chat group on Yahoo that is called Ratlist and has almost 3,000 members at the moment. I have been able to make friends all around the world through these wonderful pets. These are definitely a pet that will be a part of my life throughout the rest of it. I also like to collect rat stuff like stuffed animals and jewelry.

At some point I will also get my rat tattoo :o)

4) Doggehs!
Right now I live with three dogs and help my sister take care of her four. Dog shows are actually really interesting to watch. I love to identify different dog breeds, as I have liked reading up on dog breeds since I was little. My dog right now is an American Eskimo named Ginger and is the second dog I have owned. My first dog was a German Shepard/black lab/rottweiler/collie mix also named Ginger. There is an interesting story (at least to my dad and I) in regards to having two dogs with the same name. It was really just a fluke. The first Ginger looked like a gingersnap cookie and the Humane Society named the second one because she walked very gingerly. Someday I would like to own a Corgi and name it Ein :o)

5) Cosplaying
