Vancouver isn't too bad in terms of cold. I mean, during winter olympics back in 2010, it was so warm that there weren't any snow for the games lol

That's so awesome. I love cuddly cats.

I buried my face in a cat's belly on Christmas morning. It was a good Christmas. She tolerated me for a few minutes but walked away, though. I just want the kitty love!

Hmm, apparently they do eat fruit. I didn't know this until now. I figured they ate small animals like squirrels, mice, rats, and chihuahuas. I haven't seen drunk coyotes, no.

Bears give the best hugs. That's why they call it bear hug! *disclaimer: please don't try to hug bears. They're dangerous. Cute, but dangerous.*

No, I haven't seen that video. And I think I'll probably try to get away if I get pepper-sprayed instead of sticking around wreaking havoc and risk getting pepper-sprayed more.

Damn. Someone should take them away and spay and neuter them.

Aw, poor dog. He just wanted to hang out and share in your adventures!

Whoa, that's cool. I guess people visiting relatives during breaks? Boyfriend and I were in Seattle for Boxing day and then I came back up by myself while he went off to go on a climbing camping trip. He's in Nevada tonight with his BC license plate.

Well, the city ain't too pretty, but the more rural areas with forests are quite pretty if I do say so myself. Burnaby was probably my favourite place to live in, what with proximity to the city while still having a lot of nature. So convenient, yet so pretty. This week, we're having highs of 9°C and lows of -2°C (48°F to 28°F) in Burnaby. It's right at the cusp for ya, eh? Though the lows would be mostly early mornings/nights so you wouldn't be out in it, most likely. The worst you'd have to watch out would be the ice that's in the shades and thus didn't quite melt when the temperature rose during the day. Plus, Burnaby's on a mountain so if you were to choose somewhere lower, like Vancouver proper or New Westminster you'd be slightly warmer.

lol maybe you could bind them down as an experiment.

YES the kitty belly. She's so soft. And she tolerates it. Not like my boyfriend's roommate's cat, who loves all pets except tummy rubs.

Aw, that's too bad. Odd that they wouldn't spay Kiri, though. What happens if she gets menstruation? Or has she gone past Cat menopause?

Yeah, odd they wouldn't just rent a car down there. Maybe they were on a road trip to begin with.

I like Seattle. I love their music scene, though I didn't get to see any shows while I was there this time. We were mostly in the touristy places, though. We went to the fish market, saw them toss fish around a couple of times, and I had to convince my boyfriend not to buy me a $50 butterfly-wing pendant (it was very pretty, all iridescent blue; but $50 USD is way too expensive for a necklace that I'll probably never wear, since I never wear any jewelry to begin with), ate some sandwiches at a reasonably priced cafe, went on the underground city tour (the tour guide was hilarious: "You can tell this photo is from before the great fire because you see all these buildings? Can you see what they were made of?"
"Wood!"
"Right! And now they are?"
"Stone!"
"Gone.") and ate at an expensive sushi restaurant. They had green tea creme brulee, though, which was awesome. The hotel we stayed at was pretty old looking, but not like dilapidated but like, it has character and traditions, you know? For an American building. lol Still pretty old for me, since I've only ever been to Canada and urban Korea where all buildings are less than 100 years old.

I don't like to travel very often (my skin tends to freak out after I travel) but I've been to a few places. I mean, I was born in Korea, I've been to both Disneyworld and Disneyland in the US, I've been to Mexico a couple of times, and I've been to Montreal and Toronto. I'll basically tag along if I get invited but it wouldn't be my first choice of how I spend my free time.

lol that's great. Meanwhile, the older I get, the less I can tolerate the cold. My coworkers and boyfriend's family are always making fun of me for dressing up like an eskimo.

lol what a perverted cat.

Yeah, boyfriend's sister-in-law's cat will let you pet her wherever. But she's pretty aloof and will walk away from people she doesn't know after a couple of pets. Boyfriend's roommate's cat will not let you pet her on the tummy but she'll rub her head on anybody and everybody. Including beans.

Well, good. But I was asking about periods, you know? Because I heard that part of spaying will actually make the periods stop? I don't know. Maybe I was misinformed.

I guess you're not on the coastal part of Texas, eh?

lol yeah, I enjoy travelling for like, a day, and then I miss all the conveniences of my home. And then I come home and I start getting all these rashes and it's like, oh god why did I ever leave.

The game prize was taken down and replaced due to lack of interest. The new game prize is:

Nah, girl. She just a ho with a fetish for boobs. Like me.

Aw. Maybe it's calming for him. Or maybe he thinks it's his job.

So maybe she's already gone through cat menopause, then?

Yeah, maybe if you were closer to the coast you'd see more fish markets.

Wait, I knew cats had very frequent oestrus cycles but I thought they didn't have menstruation like humans? That there shouldn't be much, if any, blood?

Now I'm confused.

Awww, such a caring kitty!
