On a completely different (but still 'pissy') note...
My room-mate's cat, who is a tortoise shell, (and although I adore 'torties' they can be a bit 'mean'), and HATES my cats....
Well, she decided to express her displeasure by using the bottom shelf of one of my book cases as her personal piss depository....it soaked up into my books and I believe she actually 'sprayed' or marked some of the ones on the second shelf of the case as well because they too smelled and were stuck together (it is SO totally gross and I am so completely disgusted...ugh!).
She's destroyed literally at least $100 or more of MY books. Some of my Colette books, ALL of my Anais Nin books, ALL of my Anne Sexton books, Kate Chopin, Amy Tan, Carson McCullers, Sylvia Plath, and George Sand - as well as some of my women writers 'collections'.
The list is 2 pages long...some of them might even be out of print...I've already spent $50 so I have a feeling it's going to cost more like a couple of hundred to replace some of it and since I consider this to be a somewhat 'scholarly' collection these books mean a lot to me - I know they are just 'THINGS' but they were MY things dambit!
Yep...I need more life...keep it coming. I was probably extremely evil in my past life...and this is my comeuppance.
I've got half a mind to do what other people do on their blogs and put up a wish list (like a certain spoiled brat little miss 'stardust holiday') - so that people will buy me books...cause they either feel sorry for me or somehow admire me...how pathetic and incredibly rude to do such a thing...
No such chance here...
Sometimes life gives you lemonade and sometimes it gives you a cup of cat piss....
Geez....
