Sucker Punched
Sep. 20th, 2007 09:58 pmI'm currently packing for a weekend of camping at the beach.
My general attitude towards camping can best be summed up in this phrase, "Why go sleep on the ground and pretend you don't have a house?". It goes without saying that I have very few "camping" things. No sleeping bag. No tent. No Thermarest.
My roommates are avid campers and are lending me their stuff. Roommate T (my guy roommate) comes up to me and asks me to try on the mummy bag I'll be borrowing, as he's not sure if it will fit. Fair enough, I'm a big girl with curves in some very definite places. I zip up standing up and it fits. "You might want to try it lying down, see if it's too restrictive." And so I do the worm and drop to the ground, only to hear the words, "GET HER!" Roommates T and K (the girl roommate) and both dogs pounce and I am being tickled within an inch of my life. Fuckers.
Revenge is best served cold. Cold seawater, that is. Mwa ha ha.
This is Peanut's first known trip to the beach and first foray into the somewhat dubious world of camping. Wish us luck.
Peanut turns two on Sunday! Two with no teeth and a permaboner--toast the little man if you have a moment. Two never looked so funny.
This is my new favorite "new artist." Jose Vanders, give her a listen--she's all of 17 years old.
Off to pack

As a rescue mom and a pet lover, I can't stress the importance of spaying and neutering your pets. If you love animals, this is the easiest and most humane way to help them avoid death in the shelters and on the streets.
A bit graphic, but it drives the point home:
