Because Apparently I Am an Elderly Lady

[mousapelli]

And so I hit myself in the mouth with the new guinea pigs cage trying to come in my doorway with its box. What, that's never happened to you?

things have been much quieter since I separated the snowpigs, so I guess I should've done that ages ago. Or maybe they are soothed by the glow of the Kis-My-Ftree, idk. certainly I am proud of my foamy, glitterly, curly letters. anyway, datte's pierced ear is healing up nicely.

but goddamn it is colder a muggle's tit out there. it was absolutely howling freezing wind while I was trying to wrestle the cage's box into the truck, until I couldn't really feel my hands, making the process difficult. also it was snowing randomly. dear weather, please to not be snowing UNLESS it means I can stay in my bed instead of going to school.

mousamama and mousapapa have this ongoing thing about how they think i need a Clapper to turn on my light when I come in my door (which i do not) and how they're going to give me one for christmas (which i've told them explicitly not to do). so yesterday my dad thought it was clever of him to come into my apartment while I was at school and install one, so that yesterday i spent 15 increasingly confused and then panicked minutes trying to figure out a)who had been in my apartment b)why they had broken in seemingly only to attach weird shit to my electrical outlet with an ominous red light and c) if the government was suddenly monitoring my electricity usage.

Mind you this was all happening in the dark, because the Clapper kept turning off my light. As soon as i unplugged the random thing and replugged in my lamp and could see, THEN i immediately understood. When my mother showed up half an hour later for Drama Night, she got an earful about maybe not coming into the apartment of their daughter who lives alone and moving her shit around randomly so that she thinks people are breaking in. Today, mousapapa called to leave a sheepish voicemail to find out whether i'm still mad or not, but then erased any good will the apology had engendered in me by going on for a minute and a half about how i will love the Clapper once he teaches me how to use it. my family, jfc.

ps guinea pigs = useless watch animals.

ps guinea pigs = useless watch animals.

The guinea pigs resent that. They watched the whole thing happen, okay.

no doubt they did. they were probably like "YAY A PERSON GIVE US THINGS PERSON WE LIKE YOU"

I do stuff like that all the time. Sometimes my mouth bleeds, and then it's really embarrassing!

Whoa, secret Clapper installation! I would have thought I was under surveillance by the FBI or something.

Randomly chiming in to say that your dad sounds just like my dad. ^_^ He probably thought it would be sweet and charming for you to magically have this thing installed (plus safety now that you're not in the dark!) and it didn't even *occur* to him that you wouldn't love the clapper once you had it. I feel for you!

...Time to get your locks changed. JFC. We love our parents, but there are limits. If they can't be responsible with your keys, then you have to ground them from using them. You are only doing this for their own good. They will want you to look after them in their old age.

it's really not that serious, it's just that as a six-foot-plus male, he doesn't ever think to himself that people breaking into the house are a for serious concern to his five-foot daughter who lives alone.

but i certainly gave him the business about it, so hopefully he/my mother will think twice before enacting more crazyness in the future.

also if i take away their key then nobody can feed the guinea pigs when i go away for more than 24 hours D:

Waah! The guinea pigs must be fed! You're lucky to have parents willing to help out with them. :-)

I didn't even realize clappers still EXISTED. O_o Those are like, infomercials from my childhood. :P
