snorky

men saying strange things to me seems to be a trend these past couple months.

yesterday, my 40 year old co-worker said I was his "first official old man crush"....but don't be creeped out, it's "mostly asexual". thank you. the worst compliment i have ever received.

when i was feeling sick the other day, my dad brought my dog over and put him in my bed. then he told me when he was a little boy and home sick his mom would go to neighboring farms and find a kitty or a puppy to put in bed with him. part of me cried a little because that was the cutest thing i've ever heard, and part of me was mad because chas never told me before. can't you just imagine little runny nose chas surrounded by little critters? i can, and it's precious.

im sure the reason he didn't tell me was because of my "heart for animals". at one point in my adolescence, i "rescued" 3 cats from the streets of neenah...who then became 6 cats. one's name was snorky...because of a chronic sinus infection she seemed to have. i loved her, but i think i was the only one...except shadow, who became the father of her children.

one day i came home and they were gone. through tears i asked chas where they could be. "couldn't handle it anymore" was his stoic response. now i laugh, but i was inconsolable then. lolcats.
