Ok, so I love mice and rats. They are small and cute and have tiny faces that I can't say no to.

HOWEVER, mice running free through my apartment, I do not love.

Today, Anthony told me there was a mouse in his room. My first reaction was to freak out...Especially since he didn't know where it went. Before we located it, I was hopping back and forth only keeping one foot on the ground at a time. At soon as we found the mouse, it was all "AWWWW! He's so cute! Look at that nose."

Then the mouse ran away and I squealed and jumped back a foot...he ran AWAY from me and I did this.

After trying to find him, we finally saw the mouse had gone under Anthony's desk. Once he was cornered, I thought he was cute again. We took a long box and blocked off his escape and piled phone books on top of it for weight and to prevent little openings.


I went to Walmart and after a very long search, I found the ONLY "no kill" trap they had. I baited it with caramel and stuck it under the desk for him. I hope he likes it.



Now that he's trapped and the trap is in place, I'm kinda tempted to run down to the pet store and buy a cage and a little wheel.

His name is Yuki and he will be my Yuki until I release him in the field down the street.


UPDATE:

Yesterday morning at 8am, I took Yuki to the field and set him free. I was going to take his picture, as I was requested to do, but once the trap was opened for him, he bolted out and disappeared into the grass never to be seen again.

I was pleased to note that he ate all the caramel I used as bait. Glad to see he liked it. God speed, Yuki. May you live a long mouse life free of owls and cats.

Ok, so apparently my boyfriend won a ps3 on eBay and it's getting here on Monday [probably]. Which is AWESOME.

Anyway, I need game ideas. I have a few games I know I want to buy, but since I didn't have the right system for it, there's a ton of game announcements I ignored.

So I KNOW I need Little Big Planet. What else do my friends recommend to me?


I'm also getting The Proposal on dvd. The blu ray version has an alternate ending.

Well...sort of. See, my wisdom teeth are coming in so my mouth has been hurting a lot lately. More so today then yesterday because one on the right side finally broke the skin so in addition to my to the normal pain, I have a hole in my gums. Oh joy.

My boyfriend's nephew turned one a few weeks ago and he's teething. And I'm kinda teething...So I have something in common with a baby. We've been bonding over this.



So...between the annoyance I'm feeling from the "Brain Required" journal on y!Gal and the fact my mouth is in pain, I was hoping for distractions.

Preferably in the form of art. Or ice cream, but you'd have to live in Portland to give me ice cream.

You don't have to or anything, my birthday is still months away. This is just me making a puppy face at you.

Ok, so I think you need to have a membership to make polls, so this is a journal and not a poll.

Anyway, I have several costume ideas I want to do and I'm not sure what I want to do first. SOOOO...I'll ask everyone to help me pick what to do next.

Here are the current options based on my current skill/funds available.

[01] Sailor V: Either Sailor V or Princess Venus
[00] Nekozawa: Black robe and black wig is the main goal, but I will also be making his school ID later on if I can find more information
[00] Black Canary: Her classic costume as shown on JL: Unlimited
[00] Jenova's Witness: Complete with pink cat ears and pamplets to hand out
[00] Kicked Up Tinkerbell: Based on Kingdom Hearts design found in my favorites.



Please Vote in comments. I'd like to try to have a new costume by Sakuracon.

Well, if you are in North Carolina and were looking forward to me "coming home" to visit, I have some bad news. Mom called me last night and apparently she wants me to meet her in Iowa for Christmas with my grandma on her side of the family.

For no logical reason whatsoever, it's more expensive to fly west to east then it is to fly east to west, which means I wouldn't be able to make two trips. It'd be way too expensive.

Right now, I guess the plan is to make a trip sometime early next year...or convince the few of you who were expecting to see me...possibly with donuts...to come visit me. And if you came to Sakuracon, we could run amok in Seattle and see all the awesome site seeing there is!
