Lightning Paradox is now on FACEBOOK!

Yes, now all you Facebook-junkies can "like" us on there.

(hint: click the picture)

Everyone rush over right now and do it, every "like" gives Dinger a belly rub, and you don't turn down a belly rub when a kitty offers it. :3

EDIT: Also, I've added the option to react to every post in the blog, and unlike Facebook, there is a dislike button.

A non-Schrödinger update.

A few people have asked me if I was going to do an update any time soon, and I've said the same thing to all of them, that I need to get around to doing it. But, I usually write about Dinger, and she's currently staying with Spencer, at his mom's house while we're away from our apartment for winter break.
I also haven't gotten around to doing much because I got an Amazon Kindle. It's effing a-ma-zing. Except for the fact that I've completely thrown off any kind of sleep schedule that I didn't even really have before I got it.

I usually start reading relatively early, excited to get going where I left off. 

I have a bad habit of letting books eat at me until they've been finished. This is especially bad with series'.

Then it gets a little bit late, still not crazy late or anything, but my eyes are getting a tiny bit tired. I go on, figuring I've got a lot of time left before I'm going to be ready to sleep.

I end up in a crazed state, where my eyes are actually pretty wonky because I'd been staring at text for so many hours, but I tell myself I'll only read another chapter at absolute most, hopefully a few more pages.

This is when the most exciting, cliff-hanging, nail biting, important to the plot even in the story happens, and I MUST read on to find out what happens. 

I then almost always end up looking at the clock when 4AM is trying to roll around, always a little bit disappointed that I didn't end up going to bed earlier, so I didn't want to sleep forever the next day. 

And, in case anyone's wondering what I've been reading the most, it's The Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris. I'm a True Blood fan, and it piqued my interest, so I'm stuck right in the middle of a series. x)

I also apologize for the touch-pad MSPaint drawings. I'm just being lazy. 

Angry Donut.

Schrödinger doesn't like to listen, and she really doesn't like to sit still. Almost every time we try to make her sit down with us she just wiggles around and fights us, no matter how hard she is purring or secretly wants us to pet her, she fights as hard as she can to jump off the couch. She then proceeds to sit literally a foot away and actually sigh, and then look at us, all partially angry. 

She also acts like she is entitled to any and all snacks we are trying to eat. She goes to the end of the hallway and zooms as fast as she can going, "BRRRRRRRT" and runs through your legs. She grabs your feet, and stands up and makes her cutest out-of-the-side-of-her-mouth meow. Then, when you inevitably don't give her the food, she does the same sigh she always does and stares at you, all partially angry. 

This is where the anger builds up, while she's staring. Usually she'll let out another "BRRRRT" and pin her one ear back, and look all mad, like she needs to find something to bite right now. 

She then zooms away, to her cat bed, which is shaped like a donut, so we call it her donut. She body slams it, and kicks and bites and flips it all around, and drags herself around it in a circle. 

Luckily she murders her donut instead of us. She's predictable too, every time she gets angry, she sighs out loud, makes a "BRRRRT" noise, and jumps on the donut. 

Critter Carols

EDIT: This was adorable but it keeps scaring both me and other people!

A holiday card from us at Lightning Paradox.

Us being me, Dinger, and our dinosaur friend. :D

Bar tricks and other talents.

Almost everyone I know seems to have some kind of awesome trick that they can do. One of those ones that isn't actually cool or useful enough to do anything but entertain people when you're drinking or blow little kid's and stoner's minds. Or freak the shit out of your girlfriend. My boyfriend can do this weird gross thing with his pinky finger and can pop his shoulders out of socket. I've met people who could tie knots in cherry stems, open beer in tricky ways, do back-flips, simple magic tricks, are just excellent at shooting pong/quarters/basketballs from crazy angles. I've never really been able to do any of that.

Until tonight.

I have discovered that I can light a lighter with my toes. Yeah, I know, you wish you were this spectacular.

Anyway, this is my last week of class and I have finals next week, so sometime after that I'll do a real post. :D

Dinger has a twin.

And he's sweeping the internet. I think Schrödinger is the evil one though.

She does do stuff like this all the time, though.
