demon cat

Today I am feeling pretty damn good. Granted pretty energy-less but a hell of a lot better than I have felt any day this week so I decided to go for a walk with my ma and dog, and incidentally the cat, it decided to follow us the whole way. Wierdo.

Anyhoo, out we go, ready to embrace the sunny day when we realise we did not bring any house keys and I had left the door off the latch. So we thought sod it we may as well walk now, so off we trotted dog and cat in toe. About 10 minutes later we reached what we call the roundabout which in case you hadn't gathered is where we turn around and come back. The cat decided very cleverly, to get stuck in a sodding bramble bush, mewing as loudly as a cat can possibly mew. So being the nice mother to cat I can be I climb into this god forsaken bush to get the cat out. A few pokes and prods later (thanks bush) I grabbed her and tried to climb out.

Now, climbing IN had been painful enough, climbing out whilst holding a mewing cat that seemed to do nothing but complain about my rescue technique and scratch the crap out of anything near it (unfortunately that was me) was NOT fun. I got to the other side a bit worse for wear to say the least with bleeding arms. I look like I have been self harming, you know the kind I mean. 14 year old pre-pubescent 'I want to die' and 'nobody understands me' style cuts inflicted whilst drinking straight vodka, a spliff hanging out of your mouth whilst rocking backwards and forewards to Nirvana. Claiming that only Kurt Cobain could ever understand the pain your in.

Wow I am glad to be out of that phase.

Anyway, I got myself and the cat out of the stupid brambles when, genius child that the cat truly is, it ran back into it again. What on earth is wrong with this cat? I mean really? Are you shitting me? I claimed to not care very passionately with much gesticulation to my mother and we continued whilst listening to Jessie(the demon cat) mewing her evil heart out from the middle of a massive load of spiky death plants.

Anyway we rounded the corner, but my conscience got the better of me yet again. So off I went into a less dense patch of shrubbery to rescue demon cat. This extradition mission was far more successful than my prior attempt. Mainly because amidst the swipes and scratches that demon cat so kindly blessed me with, I held on for dear sanity.

I walked with her at arms length (covered in mud may I add as I had to crawl under a barbed wire fence) until we reached the house. Which is a fairly long time to have to grip a cat for, especially when it's flailing like it's being forced into a tub full of water.

I am not demon cats biggest fan right now, to the point where I have depersonalised it. No more is she a she or is she Jessi. Nope. It is now demon cat.

Until it brings me a pidgeon or a rabbit, then I feel proud that my cat understands what I crave out of life.

17:07Paul

im great with the design part....but a bit of a slouch when it comes to fashion

17:07Harriette

sorry i ask lots of questions. im very bored

17:07Paul

its ok

17:07Harriette

ive run out of t-shirts to fix

17:07Paul

im sorry my work depresses u :(

17:08Harriette

ive started a sketch book

not in a bad way

17:08Paul

HOOOOORRRAAAAY

17:08Harriette

but your work has made me ask loads of questions

and so ive started my own sketch book

17:08Paul

wow?!

ive inspired you??

17:08Harriette

based on absense

sex

misinterpretation

17:08Paul

absence/sex/misinterpretation?

17:08Harriette

yeah i guess you have

17:09Paul

hahahahah!!!

AMAZINGG!!!

17:09Harriette

yeah how words are so often misinterpreted

and an absence of words even more so

until it comes to sex which is some kind of universal language

17:09Paul

due to peoples paranoia?

17:09Harriette

i guess so

17:09Paul

pushed on to them through society

17:09Harriette

pretty much

17:09Paul

and the need for being, the perfect person

society sux balls

17:10Harriette

i wrote a lot based on your descriptrion of static love

17:10Paul

thankyou.....that gives me some confidence that people can relate to what im rambling on about

17:10Harriette

i dont feel a need to be the perfect person, and i think a lot of people dont too i just think that relationships are often disapointments because people dont work hard enough at them

your idea of

'relationships that end before they begin'

is very interestign

17:11Paul

yeah but u still have to meet up with certain standards society puts upon you untill u have the confidence to be 'yourself'

17:11Harriette

yep

17:11Paul

make up/shaving/fashion etc

17:12Harriette

but at the same time it has to be considered that 'yourself' is shaped by society. so you never know who your true self is. in itself it can be argued that the true self is what society shapes it to be because there is no opportunity for another self to form

kind of goes round in circle

s

17:12Paul

very true ;)

17:12Harriette

everything does

17:13Paul

the working hard in relationships thing u said

brings up the other end of the scale from a media point of view....disney love as it were

people give up perfectly good relationships because its not exactly how it was in sleeping fucking beauty!

17:14Harriette

yeah, in my opinion that is why divorce rates rocketed. were not as conservative as we were back in the day. and the image of disney, falling in love, no effort, love sustained has been imprinted in us since childhood

im particularly negative on this point at the moment though, bit of a sour grape

17:15Paul

yeah i mean this is all relative...maybe 'true love' does exist

and we are being perfectly pesimistic

17:15Harriette

true love exists but disneys 'true love' only exists on screen

i think true love is the fight and the journey two people undertake to be together

17:16Paul

so do u believe it can be built? or a certain amount has to do with 'fate'?

17:16Harriette

work

everything in life is about working for it

its about the fight

17:17Paul

anything thats not worth fighting for isnt worth having

17:17Harriette

true

17:17Paul

this is a bit deep for this early in the day!!!

i just scrolled up, and all this started with....my dog eat a pigeon

i think that must be symbolic!!!

17:18Harriette

but just because most thigns arent worth fighting for doesnt mean nothings worth fighting for

17:19Paul

if the opposite were true, it wouldnt be worth living

life = struggle Death = peace

17:19Harriette

well life is death if you think about it

we are all dying

17:19Paul

hahahahaha

17:19Harriette

well we are

17:19Paul

and im the negative one??

;)

17:19Harriette

im not negative

im just realistic

we are dying

17:20Paul

hahahahahaha

17:20Harriette

it doesnt make me sad to think about it

it doesnt make me want to kill myself

17:20Paul

u have no idea, u just said exactly what i said the other night

17:20Harriette

it just makes me want to make the most of what ive got

17:20Paul

and all my friends thought i was being a dickhead

17:20Harriette

and make the most out of my life

lol

they're ignorant

17:21Paul
