Every year since I turned 17 I've ignored my birthday until it's almost on top of me. I'm not a huge birthday person. I'm uncomfortable being the full center of attention, I dislike the obligation receiving gifts implies and I don't like getting praise for doing nothing.
Lucky girl that I am though, my family gets this. They still get me presents but I get to return the obligation by making dinner! This year, with thought to my dads new dentures, I will be making either chicken and dumplings or chicken gnocchie soup. Either way it's tasty and warm.
I was surprised when I realized my birthday is Tuesday, a year ago on my birthday I was jobless and recovering from some sort of respiratory illness. I bought myself a copy of Swamp Fetus by Poppy Z Brite and a new deck of Tarot cards. The Deviant Moon deck to be specific. Then Frank and Laura and Dad and Kattie and Kris and I all ate mass amounts of too chocolaty cake. Seriously, my dad bought me this wonderful chocolate mousse cake that was so heavy no one could finish an entire piece.
Time is a funny thing.
This year I'm going to purchase a plushie Skelanimals backpack shaped like a skeleton bunny. Since my skeleton torso backpack kicked the button and the zipper no longer works. My two favorite things, death and bunnies.
Zombie Prom is soon.
I love October.

Love buns
About two weeks ago Hannibal began dating.
I was prepared for the worst. The only bonding I had ever done was with a pair of bunnies that sort of fell into my lap and that was six months of fighting, scratching and very unhappy bunnies and very unhappy me.
The first day I took Hannibal in and the lovely adoption coordinator set him up in a small pen with a divider and placed various bunnies on the other side. To my surprise, Hannibal showed zero aggression. No tail raising, no growling, no thumping or boxing. Just curiosity. Sadly for him the first little girl they set in there was no so happy with his attention through the bars, She bopped him on the head with her paw to prove it too.
So after about five girl bunnies, they finally stick in a cute little male from the backyard bunny situation. Hannibal is interested and before we know it, they've removed the barrier and little Teddy is trying to cuddle up to Hannibal! Hannibal is very confused by this and shuffles away to stare at Teddy from a distance. Teddy continues to follow Hannibal around the pen and try to cuddle. We let them smell each other and wander around the pen before deciding to leave and try again the next week.
Well today the same things happened with Teddy, him trying to cuddle and Hannibal wandering away. BUT! They did share some hay and sort of sat next to each other. RIght when we were about to go home to try again next week TEDDY STARTS LICKING HANNIBAL! OH JOY! In the bunny world this is a wonderful step forward!
So Hannibal has one more meeting with Teddy at the rescue and then we get to bring him home to foster for thirty days to make sure the bonding will work in Hannibals territory, if it all works out we adopt Teddy after that!
Teddy of course will be needing a new name. Teddy and Hannibal just don't really go together so well. Once he's officially ours I will pick a name though.

Ok time for something I actually give a fuck about
So, anyone that knows me knows I prefer animals to people. I can watch any movie involving torture, maiming, murder, even children being harmed and killed and I am just dandy. I'll even fall asleep watching these things. But show me an animal being hurt or abused and I will become beyond enraged and upset. I bitch people out for using the wrong kind of leash, not getting their animals vaccinated, not clipping their nails and not getting the animal spayed or neutered. Animals are one of my main passions in life.
My favorite house pet is a rabbit(if you couldn't guess) I've owned them since the age of eleven and I can't ever picture my life without one again. Hannibal is my fourth bunny and my very first rabbit I owned in my independent adult life. He is my boy, my bubba, my asshole-butthead-cannibal-you-put-that-down-jerkface! My favorite of our pets. So of course I do all I can to make him happy. He lives in the living room, is fed fresh foods at all times, spoiled on occasion with a cheerio or two and gets away with destroying more of my stuff than the cats do. I treat him (and my other pets) like the wonderful little creatures they are and I can't imagine ever hurting him (or them) or neglecting them in any way.
Hannibal is almost two and we are stable enough that I began the long process of adopting him a friend. Picking a friend is hard and so I decided to go through a rescue and have been in contact with them for months. A few months back they got a call about a woman with an out of control rabbit situation in her yard. About forty rabbits she said. The rescue goes out and they find over 100. In this womans backyard in the 110 and above arizona summer. Disgusting.
Now, if you've seen Watership Down, you'll know that rabbits are very territorial and will fight brutally with each other (which is why I'm taking my time finding Hannibal a friend) and when you have over a hundred in a small space in horrible conditions and just let them breed, shit gets out of control.
This is Henry. The fighting and heat and horrible conditions have cost him a lot. All because some one just let their two bunnies out to live in the yard when they got bored with them. Two rabbits can become Two hundred rabbits in a year.
The little one hiding in that burrow there is now called Amelia. There were tons of those burrows all over the yard they went down very deep. Rabbits and their babies had to be chased out, caught and then the holes filled in with concrete to stop other rabbits getting in.
I have many other pictures of the wounds, diseases and horrible conditions these poor little animals were in, All because some stupid fuck got "CUTE WITTLE BUNNIES" without the proper research, then got bored and released them into the wild. Because, of course a domesticated rabbit is still a wild animal! It's will survive just fine and will wander off to find and live with it's wild brethren. No, what this stupid person got was a huge animal cruelty and hording charge and over 100 rabbits sick, hurt, and scared and who knows how many dead in those tunnels.
I went and visited with all the bunnies yesterday and have found a gorgeous little boy from the back yard situation. I will be going back Sunday to turn in some paperwork and hopefully get the ok to bring Hannibal in to meet the bunnies and maybe find a friend. I'm sickened by the horrible treatment of these poor things. My pets are my kids, my loves, my reason and to abuse a creature that wants nothing from you but care makes me sick.
Take care of your animals. Be a compassionate, intelligent RESPONSIBLE human being. Donate time or money to a local shelter, speak up if you see abuse or even just call the proper authority. Don't just stand by and let it happen.

OK TEMPORARY INTERWEBS!
We have managed to get a small signal to the desktop in our room! INTARNETS I HAS MISSED YOU DEARLY BB!
Ok, now to be calm and explain something wonderful that Kris and I JUST FUCKING REALIZED! I feel like a complete moron for just realizing this. Seriously, it changes so much for us.
Ok *drum roll* We discovered Kris is eligible for Dual citizenship in Germany! Meaning, after he gets the paperwork filled out and filed he can legally move to Germany and LIVE THERE! If I marry him I get it as well :D Germany is a place we've always wanted to go to and the idea of living there was always so awesome but the hassle of Visas and shit made me not so keen to try it out and to gain citizenship there means renouncing our U.S citizenship which would be a pain because my family is here and if we ever needed to come back it would put a damper on things.
BUT! Because his mother was born there and a large portion of his ancestry is German we're good to fucking go! We now have an actual plan. It will take about five years to execute but it's going to happen, hell or high water we're doing it. First, I'm enrolling in vet tech training and seeing where that takes me and Kris is going back to college for whatever he wants, I don't know what that is at the moment he's always changing it, once we have the schooling we need we're going. Of course during schooling the whole filing the paperwork and getting married will happen so that we're prepared, as well as learning German. In the future some entries may be entirely in German so woo! I'm surprised by the amount I remember from my brother speaking German to me growing up. I picked up a book and was able to understand whole sentences. Simple ones, but I still understood.
I'm really excited for this. Oh yeah should probably get our passport shit organized and located. Dunno where mine went to...

I LIVE!
My computer bit the dust. MANY THINGS ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!
However I'm not going to update at the moment because I will say things that will offend basically every one on my list and that isn't my goal on this blog. I have other blogs for being cruel and hateful towards everyone on and this is not the one. Because I actually really like the people on this one.
Actually that made me feel better :)
WILL UPDATE FOR RIZZLE LATER!
