Ahhhhhh!

There's some sort of animal skittering around in the walls. I can hear it. It's a definite skittering noise (very loud, sounds bigger than mice). I don't know how it got in the walls but it's definitely in there. Not outside, not inside, but in the walls. Probably living in some little hidey hole. I guess a hidey hole would be logical (logic

Ah, the dieting craze. Well, it's started over here, too. I read something in NY Times last week; a scientist claiming that body shape is hereditary. Well, maybe so, but you do have some control over what you eat, right? And, eating mountains of junk food is probably not a good thing...

The most I've ever weighed is 145.5 pounds, which was a lot to me (I'm almost 5'4"), so I'm probably not very suited for this conversation, but I do believe that if you eat healthy and do some moderate exercise, you shouldn't stare yourself blind on the dials of scales.

Hell, I'm not even *on* a diet but I assume the best thing to do if you were going on one or trying to be healthier would just be to eat things in moderation and exercise. I'm sure it's more complicated than that, with the plotting of what you're going to eat and whatnot but cutting out one thing altogether doesn't seem like the way to go.

I had something similar happen about ten years ago, but it turned out that the animal in question was in the crawl space. It just sounded like it was in the wall. It was a possum. They are hideously ugly and they don't like toesies. Actually I kind of felt sorry for him when the exterminator evicted him. He looked so ugly and forlorn. For all I know the crawl space was the possum equivalent of a deluxe apartment.

I was thinking it could be a possum in htere!

Awww...now you're making me feel bad for the possum! And all possums in the world in general. Poor ugly unloved things.

and they don't like toesies.

That made me laugh!:D

Make sure it doesn't take a page from valereix's mice, writing manifestos against you and yours.

A very good warning sign indeed! I'll make sure to listen for the sound of typewriters/pencil scribblings/etc. and then I'LL BE REALLY WORRIED!;)

Sounds absolutely frightening. Just don't give it an open invite to your house. Speaking of (or alluding to, take your pick) vampires, do you have bats around? Because there's been a few cases in my old school (boarding school) where there were bats trapped in the building somehow and all we could hear at night was shuffling and scratching. Horrible, since we didn't know what the hell it was at first.

Dogs could count as cute animals. I can't remember what the dog in Dante's Peak was like, but was it small and fluffy?

[diva_stardust]

I've never had bats but I think I've known of people around here that have had some. Eek!!

The dog was pretty mangy looking but still cute in his scruffy way. I edited my post to be clearer but I meant that it just wouldn't count towards the whole cute animals quota I was going for because it didn't talk or frolic about;D

[madannekidd]

LOL. Okay then. A movie that would be good on the cute animals front might be Homeward Bound. The one with the two talking dogs and cat. Or Shrek. Shrek's just great for comedy value. *grins*

Animals who plot your death are really annoying.

And there should be a law in Hollywood: The Dog ALWAYS lives. Anyone who kills a dog in a movie should be cursed to watch Gigli over and over and over....

Don't even get me STARTED on that anti-carb crap... stupid fad diets.

And there should be a law in Hollywood: The Dog ALWAYS lives. Anyone who kills a dog in a movie should be cursed to watch Gigli over and over and over....

Definitely! Even though I find it to be a really manipulative plot device I guess the reason why it keeps getting put in movies is because IT WORKS! I would hate to see a dog get killed in one of those disaster movies.
