I haven't posted recently because besides being immersed in Star Wars Galaxies for the time being, I also disappeared for five days to go visit a friend. She can't make it to the wedding and she's my virtual mom, so while I had some free Southwest Airlines tickets, I thought I'd take advantage. I had a really nice time! And despite the fact I had completely lost touch with her for a couple of years, we settled right back into the way we had been before. It's comforting to know that there are friendships that can transcend time and distance.
And I've created three more Fruits Basket fanatics, who I am sure will spread the word. Two of them are Shigure fans in particular. *content, if not smug smile* Ahhh, my work here is done.
But in other news... Philip and I have decided that instead of doing a honeymoon or something like that, we're going to get a kitten. As much as we love and adore Ryoko and Touma, the truth of the matter is that they were already several months old when we got them and they had been starved and neglected during a really vital period of their development. It's really sad to think of all of the things we missed out sharing. I've also never had a kitten before.
It's actually perfect timing to get a kitten because with our two moving into a new home neither of them will have gotten settled or territorial. I also highly suspect that having a kitten around will do the two of them a lot of good. This time around we're going with a kitten from a highly reputable bengal breeder. We've got a gorgeous male picked out and we're about to start working out the details! I'll definitely write more about him later because he is a very special cat.

The older ones especially are going to be very stressed with the disruption of their routine and lack of familiar objects; they may become violent out of anxiety instead of possesiveness, but violence is always an option with cats...
