I totally cannot believe what my one dog just did! I took him out in the backyard, and was supervising him as he was using the 'facilities', more to make sure that he didn't destroy anything out back. Well, his brother was let out, and the next thing I know, Bailey, the one I'd been out with, came over to me, and lifted his leg, and tried to pee on me. D= Luckily I moved before he got anything on me, and he knew right away that what he'd done was bad, but the fact that he even attempted can show how rotten he can be. His brother Jasper usually isn't as bad as to do that, but then again, they both have times of being angels or rotten brats. XD

Ahh! XD Bad Max's goggie! We don't pee on people!

I can almost swear that he did it on purpose, and it's not like he hadn't already gone around the yard a couple times before doing that. Though, he tries to do the same thing to his brother a lot of the time, so maybe he thought I was his brother, but I don't think that's true.

I'm surprised at myself. Even though I was up until after three this morning, I woke up not long after eleven this morning. I'm actually glad I didn't sleep longer. Though, having the stereo on downstairs wake me up also helped. XD

I suppose we shall never know, eh?

See, I was up until about four this morning, and woke up about the same time as you... because I had a cat playing with my foot in the sunshine. XD

Usually when I stay up that late, I tend to sleep until two or three in the afternoon the next day, which of course sets me up for another late night. >.>;; My mom can't understand my sleep schedule, and how weird it is. Though, considering I can get up during the week by seven, and still stay up to one or two is beyond her, though most of the time I'm only able to stay up so late because of taking naps when I get home in the afternoon. I've honestly been trying, but I just don't seem to get tired at a regular time, and if I do get tired, it's too early to go to bed, and then I get a second wind until much later in the night. XP

Haha, I totally know what you're getting at. XP Except I would swear that my entire family is a bunch of insomniacs- it's not uncommon for my dad to get to bed by four on a work night when he has to be up by eight. XD;

But yes, I completely get the whole 'tired but it's too early, then the second wind hits' thing. CP

Talk about loss of sleep where your dad is concerned. XP

Congrats on getting your Regalia, I see. <3 So, is this a random Lath, or a character of Lath's?

Inorite? XP

Thank you~! <3 'Tis a character of Lath's, though he doesn't have a name yet. He's a sort of Harpy-esque race, all based off of various birds. XD There's ravens, eagles, hawks, owls and all manner, and they all look very similar to the bird they're based off of, i.e, a snowy owl harpy would have white wings, tail, hair, and leg feathers with a smattering of black specks and yellow eyes. :D

Ah, I see. =D So, this fine man would be a peacock harpy creature? I'm sure he is very handsome in his tribe of peacock harpies. XD

So, I just realized that Max hasn't been on for just one day shy of two weeks. Before that it was another week where he'd not been on. >.>;; I really need to keep up with my cricket account. XD

He is indeed! :D Unfortunately, there isn't a tribe of peacock harpies, though there really needs to be after reading that. XD He's the son of a snowy owl harpy and a white peacock harpy. P: He also has a little sister, but I haven't decided what kind of harpy she is.

XD I should really jump on Barty. He hasn't been on for weeks. But it'll be a game of 'let's see if Lath can remember his password,' so. XD

I can sometimes get that way with passwords, though it's more like which password for what account. Though, I have a lot of accounts for many reasons, so it's also varied in what the username is for most of them, as well. XD

So, have you taken notice of the newest announcement? You get gold just for following instructions. =D

Lol. XD That happens with me a lot, except I'm not very imaginative with my usernames so they're all very similar. P:

Sadly, I shant be getting 250g. :< I have not received the email, and probably won't for a few days. XD;

Why won't you be getting the email for a few days? Is it out, or just not working?

I've not gotten anything in either of mine, either, though, the messages have only been going out for the last hour or so, apparently.

Because official emails from Mene announcing things like new CIs, events and this take several days to land in my Thunderbird inbox, for whatever reason. XP

Ah! So I just have to be more patient. XD;

*Barty waves at Max Cricket*

Hum, I never seem to get any of those official emails. =( Maybe there's something I've not got checked off? I think everything is, though.

Hullo, Barty! I love your shirt! <3 XD

I do not know. D: What email are you using?

Bartimaeus: "Ah, thanks... I guess... I really don't know why I'm wearing it, though. It's not very dignified for a Djinni of my stature."

Well, Rose gets her notices through Gmail, and I, Max get my notices through Yahoo. I think the only notices I've gotten so far has been regarding PMs on both accounts.

But it is still a nice shirt, Barty, especially if it's only something temporary until you get something more dignified to wear. I'm sure you'll get a lovely and dignified wardrobe that will surely suit a Djinni of your great stature. =D

*dances happily for gold update XD*

I'm glad you got the email! XD; I sure haven't yet.

Bartimaeus: "*ego is stroked* Well, thank you, miss."

X'D I love Barty. He's such an awesome guy.

Glad I can help, Barty. XD

Hm, looks like Barty's missing a 'y' in 'Mighty' in his sig.

I was reading the cricket sign, and realized, that though they haven't overrun my house, we very often have crickets to feed to my dad's three house geckos. Thankfully, all the creatures are encased in a terrarium, so we're all save from the critters. XD

Ack! So he is! XD *fixes*

Traitor! D: Feeding your own kind to the geckos!

...

Are they cute geckos? o:

We actually got the geckos a couple days before Cricket invited me to be a Cricket. XD Also, I have absolutely nothing to do with the feeding of the crickets to the geckos. I only make sure that their terrarium has a decent level of humidity a few times a day, and change their lights in the morning and evening to give the the feel of 'day and night'.

I guess they are. It can be amusing to watch them under their red 'night' light. They're so much more active at night, and can often be found playing games and chasing each other around the glass. One though, he's kind of darker than the others, and I almost fondly call him the 'Escape Artist'. Mainly because when we first got him, he didn't seem to want to go in with the other geckos at first, and stuck to the inside of the box the pet store put him in. Then, my dad turned the box upright, and the gecko jumped out onto my mom, then to the wall behind her, and tried running across the wall and window until my dad caught him, very quickly thankfully.

Weeeellll... I suppose we can let you off the hook, then, since you don't actually feed them their crickets. XD

Heh! Escape Artist indeed! o: What'd the lil' guy think he was going to do? Run away and get eaten by some bird?

I don't know about a bird, but either one of the cats or the dogs would have probably gone after him. I think it would have taken a lot of brains, or something, to actually get from one room into another, and then go outside the door, which someone would have opened for him. XD So, no, it's rather a good thing that my dad caught it rather quickly, though my mom was terrified for a good few minutes after that. It doesn't help that she doesn't like lizards and the like, either. XP

Yep. A cat would've thought him a tasty little snack. XP

I think the cats would find just about anything a tasty treat, or a lovely toy to play with. XD

Case in point, one of my cats earlier was playing joyfully with a wrapper from a plastic straw. =D
