The creepy eye.

Because of Dinger's ear accident, she's got some facial nerve damage. Some of it is incredibly adorable, like when she meows it only comes out of one side of her mouth.

Some of it is just badass. She sleeps with one eye open. Just another reason why she's a ninja assassin. 


Which leads me to the creepy eye. Cats have that weird veiny eyelid under their normal eyelids, and that creepy thing is what she blinks the eye she can't close with. If it wasn't scary enough, that eyelid blinks sideways. She'll be sitting there all adorable and suddenly the creepy eyelid is all blinking sideways like some kind of horrible lizard monster eye. 


It freaks me out every time, even though you'd think I'd be used to it. BUT, that isn't the creepiest thing about the creepy eye. When she yawns, it does the same terrible lizard sideways blink, but with one half of her mouth kind of RAWRing. It makes her look like a straight up demon. I'll spare you the horror and won't draw it.

A bit of an introduction.

Hello all, my name is Autumn. Yes, like the season. I'll start by saying my name makes no sense, because my birthday is actually in July. My parents had decided on a name long before I decided to make my grand entrance into the world a good two months earlier than planned, my due date having been the first day of fall.
Now for a little bit more about my bad self. I'm 20, I'm in college, I'm going for my BA in Biology and I have my own apartment with my boyfriend of 4.5 years, Spencer. This is us. :D
As you can see we're quite the cute couple. He's also a Biology major, we've known each other since middle school, have been dating since high school, and are just flat out weird together. We've been on many an adventure, and I'm sure many an adventure will pop up here, once I get the ball rolling on this bitch.
We have a cat. She has one ear, and her name is Schrödinger. Yes, Schrödinger. If you get it, give yourself a pat on the back because while we both thought it was a fun, relatively nerdy name to give our kitten, literally 2 people have gotten it. Here she is, in all her glory.
  Everyone always wonders what happened to her ear, and her favorite explanation is a gang fight against ninjas while she was on an assassination mission. She's a ninja-assassin, just in case you didn't guess.
But really, before she came to us she was a barn cat, meaning her mother was feral and she lived on a farm and her job was to hunt rodents and other pests that may get into the barn. One night she climbed up inside a car, probably because it was warm, and in the morning when her previous owner turned the car on, she saw Dinger run away, and the next thing you know she only had one ear.
It's not creepy or anything, it's actually kind of cute, and we adopted her because her old owner couldn't keep her in the house due to allergies and she probably wouldn't have survived a winter with only one ear.

Together we make a small family of weirdos, and we're all just the right amount of strange for each other.
Oh, and the name for this little blog comes from my usual online username, Blitz or Blitzkrieg, and Schrödinger's cat paradox. Nothing all that creative, but I thought it sounded cool.
