Don’t worry—I have a bottle of Lysol and a bottle of bleach and I scrub the holy shit out of everything I think could have germs on it. Wild animal poo would have resulted in a complete scrub down of all surfaces. Hang in there!
You know, I am so glad I’m not the only one. I think I need to run our sink under hot water for a few, oh, hours, and then bleach it and I don’t even. This is making me upset. I know one factor is the fact that they don’t think I know what I’m doing (I know I don’t, but I’m not going to do something without a purpose), and the other is OH MY LORDS OF KOBOL WHY WOULD YOU PUT THE POOP-RIDDEN SPONGE INTO THE SINK FROM WHICH WE WASH DISHES FROM WHICH WE EAT [see, I didn’t get that right, either, haha] I shouldn’t have really put the turtle in the kitchen (see, didn’t know that til this morning) but I only put him there so the cats wouldn’t get to him.
I’m so disgruntled about this, I can’t even eat my breakfast (yes, I haven’t even had anything yet this morning, I had a late night and not nearly enough sleep). I’m going to take a shower and then put the poor thing in the canal even though it’s cold outside. Poor thing, he’s been straining his neck to get on top of the sponge but I think the water’s too much. Sigh. My family’s not germophobic or anything so they don’t put up with my hysteria.

Be impressed. I read fast and thorough. Keep up the good work. I’ve been seeing tons of ‘Hiring’ signs just walking the mall. They’re not exactly hot jobs but hey, money is money.
You’re absolutely right. And thank you, that… that means a lot that you read the whole way through; it was a rather large chunk, and well, I know you can empathize.
Maybe I should go mall-crawling…

I tell my parents everything too and later I’m always like “why did I do that??” They’re not nearly as bad as yours though. Your parents are frakkin’ insane.
Oh, nooo, I know. But I can’t fault them for it; they don’t know any better. I’m hoping to, well, do better. A quarter century of it and I’m still not immune, but I like to pretend it hurts a little less each day. (Clearly that hasn’t quite been working but I really do think I’ve getting better at it, an iota at a time.)

Sigh. But no joke with how well you draw you really should make a webcomic. It would be awesome and funny, if sad and true.
^^;; I’m flattered. Your drawing came out a lot better than I would’ve imagined, actually. I really wish I would’ve gone for an art major—I know that’s my true calling, somewhere in there, being the ~eccentric~ one—and learning proper techniques, etc. It seems like I was always discouraged from my hobbies, still am. But I still do what I do. I was picturing the webcomic in some sort of meme-esque form. Maybe I will make one, then people can submit their own. XD
Thanks for the support, bb. ♥

Peace Corps! I wanted to sign up with them, but it’s tricky when you’re tied down to an SO. I just waded through an interview for a temp job today (still no other bites), so I don’t know what to tell you. *twitch*
I’d considered the Peace Corps but it seems a tad unsafe… I hope you got the interview!

App? Or did it come with your phone? Btw, what Samsung model is it?
App. :) Sketch n Draw, been downloading too many things already, haha. And it’s the Samsung Attain. (Have I mentioned how the names of everything just amuse me? Gingerbread? Ice Cream Sandwich? It’s like the old witch is going to eat us—oh haaay, there’s a story. XD I do mean to ask my dad about that story he used to tell me, so I have my details clear and I can write my story. ;).

Girrrl, welcome to the world. As for whether you want to link to facebook…I do it completely for creepin’ sakes. Creep creep. I AM SO EXCITE YOU HAS NEW PHONE
YAAAY! :D You’re still officially the first person to talk with me. XD My cousin texted me but I don’t know how it got through—the phone’s still acting up…
I’m currently connected to our Wi-Fi so haven’t actually tested out the 4G.

You’re gonna kill me with all this kickass violin.
You’re welcome. :D Can you play?

Well, in all honesty, if you found a job here, I think it holds a bit more weight than JET. JET’s more of a stepping stone than a career imo. There’s no harm in looking though. Keep your options open. Heck, we all window shop :)
Yeah… I kept feeling that way. I added more to that whole thing on LJ, but it’s just the whole I-don’t-know-what-I’m-doing-blah.
But thank you for your kind words, dear! ALSO, I was never notified of you following me! Gasp! Do tell how your Tumblr shenanigans go. ;)
