I assume M'aiq is a liar?

My beloved pet mouse died a few months ago. He was not the least bit afraid of my hands, and in fact loved LOVED being pet. He would close his eyes in contentment. Xeexee was a very special mouse, but he did exist.

Aw. She's pretty and cute. I wish I had a video of my budgies (parakeets) sneezing, because it is a tiny and adorable sound.

Yeah, I was going to say... I grew up in Eureka/Arcata, and people very rarely wear heels there. I guess the population of Humboldt just isn't enough to offset SoCal.

Most mammals become intolerant of their species' milk after they are weaned because they aren't expected to need to be able to…

When people tell me to smile I usually do, but extremely sarcastically, or like this:

One thing that's important to remember is that getting yourself into a more positive mindset is not a light switch; it requires continued effort. I've recently made some changes that are slowly digging me out of depression. One of those changes was simply getting a new kind of shampoo. The smell of the one I had…
