icepixieI was all set to laugh at everyone who got snow today, until I looked at weather.com and realized we're getting that same system tomorrow afternoon. *groan* To be more accurate, we're getting a mixture of snow showers, rain showers, and flurries that extends through Friday. Generalized nastiness, basically. And there's a tornado warning or something at home. Fun times for the not-quite-East Coast!
Something I meant to post Sunday:
So Sunday was our monthly morning at the Humane Society. (We walk dogs and play with cats, essentially.) They had a bunch of new dogs since last I was there. There was some reddish border collie thing named Sarah I wanted to take home with me--she liked to stop every few minutes of the walk for a cuddle or three. Then there was a beagle mix that stopped abruptly in the middle of the walk, put its front paws on my stomach, and decided that a doggie hug ought to last at least five minutes, preferably more. He (she?) would make such a great lap dog.
Then there was the cat house, where a very tiny unnamed black tabby hung out half on my shoulder and half in the hood of my jacket for a good ten minutes. There was some slow strangulation on my part, but she was purring very loudly all the while, so...eh. I think in May, I may have to sneak that one out for my own self, if wherever I end up after graduation allows pets. Or even if they don't.
Then there was Marcy, the cat with abandonment issues. This cat--who is luckily even smaller than the unnamed tabby--firmly believes that the best place to be when a human is around is on top of that human's head, using their hair as a chew toy. My scalp got a bit gnawed on. This cat actually launched herself at the front of my jacket and held on for a good thirty seconds without me touching her--and this is a nylon-type rain jacket, I might add. I think she might actually be part spider.
Anyway. Surely I have something I need to do tonight... *wanders off*

We went to the shelter last friday and there was this adorable black long haired kitty that chewed on my hair for a good five minutes. He was just so sweeeet! We were gonna take him home and name him Capt. Jack and hide him in our dorm room but alas they knew my college only allows pets that you've owned for a year prior and not even in my dorm. *cries*
