Breakfast = water + Tylenol (+Lindt chocolate from my advent calendar, because that's healthy)

I am so, so tired, you guys. No more drinking. I veto it. I am also not allowed to have my phone with me when I drink. Because when I do, I send tailoredshirt messages about the top-secret fic we're writing together that are really, really dumb. Like "I worked out

You actually seemed mostly normal except for that bit (and by the way, that is what I meant by "you sound mostly normal," which you questioned last night and I said, "I will explain in the morning.").

Your cat sounds like my cat last year. We were putting up the tree and she just ran up the trunk, which scared the shit out of us. She hasn't done it this year, thank god.

Eat something greasy and salty!

[nova33]

See, that is mildly reassuring. I think it's less how I say things, and more that...I shouldn't be saying some things. Ooh, ~cryptic, I know.

I am terrified that Luna is going to actually run up the trunk, but I don't actually think that's occurred to her. Yet.

There is nothing greasy or salty in my house! We do not do either of those things! OR WAIT. PIEROGIES. FUCK YES. BEST BREAKFAST EVER.

[tailoredshirt]

I had to google pierogies. You just have those in your house?

[nova33]

Pierogies, like shawarmas, are one of those weird things that Canada has appropriated as our own. You can get pierogies frozen from the grocery store in the same way you can get...peas, or french fries. And then you just fry them - for us with bacon and onion - and add sour cream afterwards. AND THEY ARE EXCELLENT.

you can try putting tin foil around the base of the tree. scared the crap out of our cat last year. it works great until they figure out how to get around it :D

[nova33]

Oh hey, now there's an idea! I will definitely give it a go, thank you. Even though she'll be terrified, because she is the biggest wuss ever.

[prettykitty_aya]

Our cat put one paw on it and literally jumped straight up and backwards about a foot. I'm not even going to lie, it was hysterical.

[prettykitty_aya]

Of course, we sit around thinking of ways to torment my cat, so. >_>

I have made it a Christmas tradition to rub my cat furiously with fleece blankets so she gets static-y and then I shock the crap out of her.

Also, my parents brought up a bag of cat things and she has been meowing at me for days to give it to her.

[nova33]

That...sounds terrifying. I can't imagine she takes it particularly well!

And yeah, I feel like my entire life is just cat toys, at this point.

[violett_crumble]

On the bright side, the cat is just ecstatic. It is her first Christmas, there are so many new shiny things to attack! Also, we have a stocking for her. Spoiled rotten, that one.

I love you for this sentence. Hee! And, of course, I have to share this with you if you've not seen it. (And, really, if you're a cat owner and have not seen all of the Simon's Cat videos you really should scold yourself severely and then go watch them. ^_^)

I have seen some of the Simon's Cat videos, though I hadn't seen that one - it is alarmingly close to real life.

IKR?

You know that guy has really lived with cats.

[nova33]

It is very apparent, yes.

We tend to spend Christmases with my cousins and some family friends. It's usually a pretty big affair with people everywhere aljkfgh Recently I've been drafted in to help with the cooking, which is not going to end well for anyone omg.

[nova33]

How did all the craziness of a big family at Christmas and helping cook go? I hope it was lovely!
