It's dark and miserable around here. But I bought a new toque today, from a hat shop, so I will be less cold when work finishes tonight and I can board a bus.

There are children whispering to each other at the catalogue computers.

Someone just drove past me and shouted "Show me your cunt!".

What's wrong with a nice, old-fashioned “Show me your tits”? Is that not good enough anymore? People these days…

I saw New Model Army tonight, who were brilliant. And the atmosphere was great, too.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

00:12 / 24.11.07

I want to go to a concert. I want to dance.

00:14 / 24.11.07

Dancing is good. I've done plenty of dancing tonight. After the New Model Army gig I went to an alternative club and danced to ...er... New Model Army. Hm.

Another week before I can change my name-- I thought about "Paperback Writer," but thought people might associate me with paranoidwriter, which would not be useful.

I'm a bit annoyed that I'm not the only mice on Barbelith. Maybe I'll change my name to Apocalypse Schmapocalypse.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

I do find the plethora of mice confusing at times. Crack open your shell and be someone new!

I could change my name. But I dont see what the point is anymore.

But Im back home after 3 days of being away and the house smells like a brewery. Im home and I am pleased.

Hi everyone.

imaginary moose?

I'll have a think...

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

00:44 / 24.11.07

Wheren't you imaginary moose once, long ago? Or am I misremembering?

The house smells like a brewery? Why?

I still don't know who to be in a week.

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

Part tears. Part happy.

Happy because MattShepherd--my beautiful fiance' is coming into town tomorrow. Tears because I just went out to my car to get something out of it and found a loudly crying cat looking for shelter from the cold. She's preggers. I can't bring into my house because I have two cats would not appreciate my gesture. I am in tears because I don't know what to do. My fiance' has already told me over the phone, "You CANNOT take her in." And he's right. I can't.

Okay, more tears than happy.

Nah, I think you're imagining the imaginary moose.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

00:46 / 24.11.07

Kali -- presumably you can call the SPCA to come pick her up? Or Animal Control, I'm not sure what your local equivalent would be.

Saint Keggers

00:46 / 24.11.07

can you get a box with some blankets and some warm milk out for the cat?

my house smells like a brewery because Im making wine.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

00:46 / 24.11.07

(And then just keep an eye on her outside until they show up?)

00:48 / 24.11.07

Kali, that’s awful (and I don’t mean the fiance bit). Is there an animal rescue centre that you could take the cat to? Or maybe try the vet?

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

My neighbour and her boyfriend came out for the night as I was sitting on my steps, crying my eyes out, and my neighbour tried calling a friend of hers who works for a no-kill shelter (and ask Matt, I AM VERY BIG ON NO-KILL SHELTER) but the sad truth is this: the city of Atlanta is not going to spend our ASPCA on one little pregnant cat in the inner city. Which breaks my heart. Which makes me feel like a heel. I know I am the Crazy Cat Lady and I am so okay with that. I love cats. They are everything I want to be.

She's out there right now, about to pop, and I am stupid human who cannot help her. I suck.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

01:03 / 24.11.07

Just try to make her comfortable, that's all you can do. Bring out blankets and warm milk, keep an eye on her, and wait to hear back about the no-kill shelter situation. It may not be pretty but it's beyond your control, and you should not feel guilty about that. Cuddle with your own cats, keep warm, keep an eye on her. Watching over her probably does more than you think.

Sorry Kali for the bad part, life is quite sucky sometimes like that. Good for you and Matt and the good part, at least.

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

01:14 / 24.11.07

I have been outside the house since writing my posts. She is nowhere to be found. I am hoping it is as Matt says and that cats have been having babies for time immemorial and that she has found a safe warm place somewhere here in the neighbourhood to have them. I hope so. God, I hope so.

Saint Keggers

02:03 / 24.11.07

Yeah, as someone who has been around a farm with far far too many pregnant cats let me assure you they are evil geniuses when it comes to finding warm places to birth their kittens.

my house smells like a brewery because I'm making wine

Shouldn't it be smelling like a winery?

Saint Keggers

02:18 / 24.11.07

well..um.. yeah sure. If you want to be all technical.

Liger Null

02:19 / 24.11.07

Congratulations on the engagement, Kali, and sorry about the kitty. I'm sure she'll be fine, but you should probably leave some food and water for her in case she comes back.
