2010-09-27 [Mrs Vicious.]: but it has chlorine in it... animals wouldn't like that. Velvet.. you wish.

2010-09-27 [Synirria]: *Winks* You betcha babes...lol kidding

2010-09-27 [KnightAngel]: *shrugs* They don't seem to mind though and well did get rid of most of the chlorine before leaving the pool out there :P They'll be good ^^

2010-09-27 [Mrs Vicious.]: *giggles and pokes you a little* behave. As long as the animals are ok, thats good.

2010-09-27 [KnightAngel]: *smiles and shrugs* Well they seemed to be enjoying having a pool there and yeah did remove quite some of the chlorine after all :P

2010-09-27 [Top_Hatter]: *Forgoes the swimming pool to find the nice steamy natural spring beneath the waterfall within the forest and enjoys a nice relaxing dip while the sunlight plays through the leaves, his hat placed gingerly next to him*

2010-09-27 [Ghost the Hybrid]: *is confused*

2010-09-27 [KnightAngel]: *grins* I also had small amount of sleep even if it was a little more than just 3-4, maybe 4-5? XP

2010-09-27 [Mrs Vicious.]: I actually slept alot...for about... 7/8 hours.

2010-09-27 [KnightAngel]: *smile softly* Well you've needed it after what you were through ^^ I think it's only good, you need sleep ^_^

2010-09-27 [Mrs Vicious.]: Oh hell yeah. I still cant walk right and I ache all over, think I was in totally the wrong position last night too cos I have something wrong with my back now.

2010-09-27 [KnightAngel]: Naawww, that's not good! Want a massage? After all can't have you aching all over on your new special day ^^

2010-09-27 [KnightAngel]: I think she is referring to why you're aching all over and such, maybe XP

2010-09-27 [Mrs Vicious.]: Well I was up all night, hardly got any sleep and was bent in double most of the time and my knees cramped up Saturday.

2010-09-27 [Mrs Vicious.]: My knees and feet still kill and my hip aches... now thanks to last night my back hurts.

2010-09-27 [Ghost the Hybrid]: no you guys just randomly talked about something and i wasn't really paying attention and being tired and all my mind made the convo a bit unappropriated ^^'

2010-09-27 [KnightAngel]: *blinks and grins* Oh? And why's that? XP

2010-09-27 [Mrs Vicious.]: oohh ... okies. its all good hun. You, Knight, behave.

2010-09-27 [Ghost the Hybrid]: sorry V and eli but yeah that's why i got all confused

2010-09-27 [KnightAngel]: *blinks* But, but... I was just wondering what got to sound inappropriate :P

2010-09-27 [KnightAngel]: *hugs Yume* No problem, only glad if we can help solve the confusion ^^

2010-09-27 [Ghost the Hybrid]: vicious said wrong position XD

2010-09-27 [Mrs Vicious.]: yeah for sleeping hun.

2010-09-27 [KnightAngel]: *chuckles* Ah, well when thinking like that then I see it XP

2010-09-27 [Ghost the Hybrid]: you never said sleeping V you just said and i quote "I was in totally the wrong position last night too cos I have something wrong with my back now"

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: yeahh but I meant for sleeping in hun. lol you guys are just dirty.

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: *chuckles* Oh come on, you can have just as dirty a mind at times, not as much as me of course but yeah XP

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i blame haning out with guys too much

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: *chuckles* Well I can't really blame on that considering I am one but yeah guess it doesn't exactly help though XP

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: same here to be honest, though I know some pretty clean thinking men.

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: *nods* Yeah well I can be that if I want to but yeah more fun the other way XP

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: lol ok

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: *nods* Yeap ^^ But yeah got an gentle and "clean" side to me too :P

2010-09-28 [La Luna]: BOO YA!

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: lol I know most guys can do it but I know some people that think cleanly all the time.

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: Ack! *dodges while trying to prepare the food* That's unfair! I can't do anything in return you sneaky one XP

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: *grins and giggles softly* Ill leave you to it.

2010-09-28 [La Luna]: okay thanks *hands Knight the cookie dough and takes cookie dough from Yume* thanks :)

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: *curls up under the sheets and wraps my tail around the covers, looking up at Knight and flicking it from side to side slightly*

2010-09-28 [La Luna]: YOU HAVE A TAIL?

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: Woohoo!! *eats some more and lays down on my side on the rafter*

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: *chuckles and waves down while watching the tail, being almost hypnotized by it*

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: meow^^' *has some cookie dough too*

2010-09-28 [La Luna]: *changes into little kitti cat* MEW MEW MEW

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: .... Yes. I have a tail. *giggles and flicks it slightly, waving it in front Knight and purring slightly*

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: what kind of tail?

2010-09-28 [La Luna]: *jumps from chair to rafters and purrs* =^.^=

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: smooth, short haired black tail, think Black panther. *smiles and stretches* I get more and more cat like as I get tiered.

2010-09-28 [La Luna]: :D *bats Knights hair*

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: that's cool V

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: *blinks and pets the kitty then grins and moves a hand down and plays with the tail gently without gripping it*

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i kinda transform to a kitten at times...tho i always ends up as an anthro^^'

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: *purrs and wraps my tail around Knigh's hand* I mostly end up Anthro.

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: *smiles and strokes along the part of the tail that's reachable from the rafters* I prefer turning into a fox, either kitten or fullgrown, otherwise a puppy or dog :P

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: *pulls and pulls my tail away slowly and giggles* I prefer panther, fully grown, Im not into kitten-ness.

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: black cat^^'

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: *chuckles and shrugs while letting my hand dangle from the rafters* Well it all depends on my mood and came to think they're also called kittens along with cubs when cubs in some sense would be more correct as they don't have anything to do with the feline family XP

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: cool beans.*smiles and curls my tail round myself and yawns*

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: yeah I think its called a fox Cub darlin.

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: Well both actually exist but yeah cubs is more correct if you really think about it XP They're not member of the cat-family even if they can have somewhat feline looks XP They're after all closer related to dogs ^^

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i've only heard fox cubs eli so yeah

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: I think they're called kittens when first born but cubs when a little older. Anyone want desert? *holds a can of squirty cream*

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: no thanx i don't want any tummy aches

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: mkays, I made pie.

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: *chuckles* I'd like some and well either way then I all in my lonesome decides it's wrong to spell kittens XP

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: huh?*looks confused*

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: *blinks* well with fox cubs XP

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i'd like some pie just not the cream please

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: cool beans. pie it is, what flavour? *smiles and humms hapily as I make pudding*

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: cherry is my favorite fruit^^ i just don't want cream cause i'm lactose intolerant and dairy products makes my tummy hurt

2010-09-28 [Mrs Vicious.]: Im mostly lactose intolerant, and to be honest didn't like squirty cream that much when I could eat it. *giggles and pulls out a hot cherry pie*

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i've never liked cream^^'

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: *looks up into the roof and thinks then smiles down* Can I have apple pie?

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: *noms on the pie*

2010-09-28 [La Luna]: ooh i'm lactose intolerant (but i dont give a hell and eat it anyway)and just to add to the former convo. i like being a litte tabby kitten =^.^= meow

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: *grins* My sis or well stepsis is also lactose intolerant or at least a little, I'm only "intolerant" to three things that I'v already mentioned a couple of times XP

2010-09-28 [La Luna]: pickles mushrooms and um what else?

2010-09-28 [KnightAngel]: Well I can mostly eat it but I'd rather eat dirt... It's mashed potatoes, don't ask me why but yeah... Normal potatoes and fries and well most other ways of having potatoes I can eat but mashed? Rather eat dirt XP

2010-09-28 [La Luna]: O: *DIES*

2010-09-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: lol

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: I dont really eat mash, I prefer little roast baby potato's

2010-09-29 [Ghost the Hybrid]: mm potatoes

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: yeah, if you put a little black pepper on em and salt, a bit of oil and stick em in the oven for half an hour they're amazing.

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: *smiles and nods* Oh... I think I've tried those and incase then yeah they're really amazing ^^ Not too much pepper for me but yeah there need to be at least a little ^^

2010-09-29 [Ghost the Hybrid]: owen roasted potato and carrot wedgies with italian spices drizzled with a tiny bit of oil is really nice too

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: *purrs and hears stomach grumble and punches it slightly* shush you... And that does sound really delish ^^

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: I made a recipe page so people could put up things!

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: *nods* I've noticed and well is currently thinking like crazy about if I could put something up XD Thinking of two recipes that I'm rather fond of, two that is very common in Denmark anyway XP

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: ... well put em both up.

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: *chuckles* Just got to remember more exactly how the heck they were and then translate into english XP

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: hahahah fair enough. that and some of the ingredients might not be available for some people. depending if its a local delicacy.

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: Nah, it's fairly common ingredients, just the way it's used and stuff like that XP

2010-09-29 [Top_Hatter]: *checks to make sure his pokeballs are still beneath his hat and then turns the spring on 'spin cycle' and swish swashes beneath waterfall whilst staring at the now-doubles of people*

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: ........ I believe Hatter is having a bath.

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: I believe you're right, well if he likes it that way then fine by me XP I prefer to be at least mostly conscious of what's going on around me after I take a bath XP

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: I tend to be par-boiled when I have a bath. I like it being warm and tend to just wallow in it for a while before having a bit of a bird bath type thing.

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: *chuckles* Okay and well for me it's bring on the chill mostly XP

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: oh nooo, I couldnt do a cold bath...

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: *grins and shrugs* I pretty much couldn't do a warm bath XP I'd cook right up XD

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: Occasionally if its too warm I feel ill and faint, but it rarely happens. *giggles alittle*

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: Naaww, well good it happens on such rare occasions and well I'd seriously cook right up like a lobster ^^'

2010-09-29 [Eyden13]: your all so funny

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: *chuckles and pats Tiger's head* Well, it's only good now isn't it? ^^

2010-09-29 [Eyden13]: yupper doodles *Purrs*

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: *laughs and curls up on the sofa*

2010-09-29 [Eyden13]: *pounces on Mrs vicious*

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: *hisses a little and giggles* hello thar.

2010-09-29 [Eyden13]: *Snuggles in couch*

2010-09-29 [Ghost the Hybrid]: meow?

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: Is it just me or do all of my friends like to behave like cats?

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: *chuckles* well cats are cute and stuff like that XP Mostly humans like to try and be cute to appeal to others ^ยจ

2010-09-29 [Ghost the Hybrid]: *shrugs* i've just always liked felines^^'

2010-09-29 [La Luna]: neigh ;)

2010-09-29 [Ghost the Hybrid]: ?

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: she's a horse.

2010-09-29 [La Luna]: neigh neigh :P sorry i have lessons on saturdays so i'm hyped cuz i'm supposed to start cantering ;P

2010-09-29 [Eyden13]: i went horse back riding once and it was awesome. I hurt from muscles I never realized I had, but it was something i'd definitly do again.

2010-09-29 [Ghost the Hybrid]: that's cool:)

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: *blinks* When I tried then I didn't hurt anything o.o

2010-09-29 [Eyden13]: maybe you didn't do it right? Just kidding.

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: *chuckles and shrugs* I even did it one time with someone that had been riding for quite some time, I've even ridden bareback ^^

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: Ive been riding once and it was bareback on this huge horse, I looked like John Wayne but with no beard.

2010-09-29 [Eyden13]: so jealous!

2010-09-29 [KnightAngel]: I don't know what I looked like, I was probably about 8-9 at the time XP

2010-09-29 [Eyden13]: grrrrrrrrrrr

2010-09-30 [Top_Hatter]: "Ode to Spot"

Felis catis, is your taxinomic nomenclature
An endothermic quadriped, carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.
    
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
    
O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

---Commander Data "Schisms"

2010-09-30 [Eyden13]: I like that.

2010-09-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: oooohhhh that's niceeeee!

2010-09-30 [Eyden13]: *Glomps*yume

2010-09-30 [Ghost the Hybrid]: apperently it happens too often to me

2010-09-30 [Ghost the Hybrid]: who's yumi?
