The Cat SpeaksThe Cat Speaks - LiveJournal.comWhite and Nerdy- September 23, 2006 I just saw Weird Al Yankovic's "White and Nerdy" video, and I've got to say that I don't think I've ever wanted to be a nerd as much as I do now. Mr. Yankovic made what, for my money, is an extremely compelling case for the nerd lifestyle. I've been discussing this with some of my goth friends, and while they think that being a nerd and being a goth are mutually exclusive, I disagree. You can be a Romantic-era poet and a goth, an industrial machine operator and a goth, you can be wangsty and a..http://m-cat.livejournal.com/105547.html Talk Like a Pirate Day- September 20, 2006 It's Talk Like a Pirate Day!

I backed off and I figured she ran out of nobodies and minor celebrities to send out to bother me. Well, as it turns out, she hired a few more people. They weren't quite as incompetent as Tiny Tim, who may well still be on the.http://m-cat.livejournal.com/105068.html I'm back!- September 10, 2006 I'm better now. Things looked pretty grim there for a while, but I managed to pull through. How, you might ask Backup organs. Yep, for the last few years I've been picking up extra organs whenever I had the chance, and they finally proved useful. I'm not sure why more people don't have backups. I mean, when you think about it, organs are the stuff of life. The world would seem just a little bit duller without them. Without organs, we couldn't enjoy simple things like classic rock music, double..http://m-cat.livejournal.com/104721.html |
