Perspective

I was going to post a long and involved post asking why all the Worldcup palaver turned into such sturm und drang, donder and blitzen, Grumpy and Sleepy, but then the Monster kitten spent the last five minutes playing splashies with her water bowl and now I have two little cats sitting on my feet drying off in front of the heater.

And it occurs to me that rather than getting to the heart of why so many of my lovely friends were so drained by Worldcup (I was in the group drained before postings, as opposed to the group who lost the will to live during, who should not be confused with the mods who are even now forming a support network), what I really want to do is hire an aeroplane, jet round the world, pick everyone up, and bring you all here to play with the cats.

 Bugger tea and Xanax, there's nothing like a kitten nomming on your toes to make the world seem a more pleasant place.

Now you need to see the LIVE version. :) I have all three versions linked from my journal: http://drgaellon.livejournal.com/229140.html

Can I bring my kitties along to play, too?

I seriously was pretty oblivious to the bad shit and just had fun with Team EWE and all the people there, writing my story and watching them get posted. I didn't find it a bad experience. I leave it up to everyone else to get frustrated for me. ;)

But I do wanna join the kitty party anyway! I like kitties... and parties! :) And all of you!

Absolutely! These two are very bored this week due to all the rain and could do with some company.

I have to say that Team EWE was the best team in terms of mental health, though we had the worst luck! And most of my frustration was merely a subset of life going spack. But EVERYONE is invited to the kitty party! Especially a nice kitty owner like you.

But it is so tickly! I end up giggling tea!

That is wrongly hilarious, like your icon!

Oh, goody! I am very excited for the party. My cats will tune up their toe nombing for the event. :)

The icon is from the brilliantly hysterical Torchwood fic, Trying to Communicate, by Sam Storyteller, who is also responsible for the famous Stealing Harry, Laocoön's Children and Cartographer's Craft in HP fandom.

I know of one shelter not that far away that lets people volunteer to spend time stroking the kitties. Now that work is starting to become more manageable again, maybe I'll try to stop by sometime. :) Thanks for reminding me about it!

I am a big believer in kittens as therapy. My two are currently stalking each other in a comedic fashion, which is distracting me happily from the fact my ears are stuffed with snot. TMI, sorry!

Definitely. Almost any fluffy animal, actually, will do for me, but there is something extra special about a cuddly kitty.

Hope you are feeling better soon! *pets*
