08/15 - Wet 'n' Wild Wednesday!

This is the guy with the sparkling roomie who forgot he met me about 2 dozen times (including a time he screamed at me in a bar) because he was always so drunk. He then cut off part of his finger in a machine at work because he's that guy.

He adores me now and it's funny, cause he legit hated me for months. He has totally blacked this out. He will swear he never met me until like March...and I met him the first week we lived here and saw him consistently because he lives with matt's BFF.



There's honestly such an interesting and bizarre cast of characters that Matt knows from work and such. It's a never ending people watching theater for me.

My intense love for my cat immediately tells people, "I'M A FREAK!" I'm ok with this. One of Matt's coworkers likes to say, "The only thing I hate more than cats is cat people." I responded to this by saying, "Well, you're just gonna hateeee me then dude!"

Have you heard I have the most delightful cat?



LOOK AT HIS ADORABLE FACE PLEASE!

 

"Have you heard the good news? Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior Bearnie Cat?"

Research on reactions to bullshit has to date exclusively used samples of American undergraduate students or Mechanical Turk users, which often are WEIRD (i.e. exclusively from western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic societies) and therefore far from representative for humanity in general

don't remember seeing this survey lol but yeah a nice read

 

i just remembered a new episode of Castle Rock is up on hulu!!
mturk, stay slow for another hour plox!

 

Another coworker of his says, "You're not quite a crazy cat lady. 3 cats is borderline."

Matt goes, " I once walked in her one bedroom apartment and saw more than 2 dozen sets of eyes staring back at me, including a feral pregnant lady cat. I was not even shocked."

His coworker: "...did you...did you know she was crazy?"

Matt:

 

@Dandryx You can actually spot Bearnie and Holly as babies, hanging with some of my feral kitty bros (who all have homes now yay):
