pacificpikachuLOL, Pearl the guinea fowl and Starly the Mille Fleur d'Uccle (in other words, a chicken) are currently warring over who gets to sit on a large clutch of eggs in the corner of the hen house. Except, within the last two or three days, it seems like it may have transformed from a war to a temporary truce, as they'll sit right next to each other on the eggs and make their respective mama noises as if to persuade the unborn chicks/keets that they are the real mother. It's pretty hilarious. I hope they manage to actually hatch some babies!
Yesterday, I attended the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release End of Season Party. This was fun, and after the party was over, I went out to dinner with several of the seasoned veterans of the group. Naturally, we had to have disgusting conversations during dinner without even realizing particularly that most people would find them disgusting. Ways to chop up mice for feeding raptors, the breeding and care of mealworms, wound management, the particulars of bird stool, particularly strange and gross diseases and injuries we've seen, and so on. X3 Gotta love rehabber conversations. I'm pretty sure I'm going to try to go to the CCWR (California Counsel for Wildlife Rehabilitators) Symposium in the end of November at Pismo Beach, as I can room and ride with fellow rehabbers in my group and it seems like a great learning opportunity. Of course, it interferes with towards the end of NaNoWriMo, but I can always either finish my novel early, get way ahead before the conference, or write while I'm there. No big deal. :D
Now that Heart Gold and Soul Silver are out in Japan, I'm getting so excited about them. Why must it be so long until they come out here? ;___; I was dreaming about playing them last night and it was so awesome. Of course, the release of them has caused me to go "KJAHDKAJHDKJAHD" about money because they keep releasing Umbreon and Chikorita merchandise that I want, and I absolutely must get the legendary dog Pokédolls, too. Need to get a job or something, ughhh.
I keep going back and forth on my Umbreon collecting. Not about collecting Umby in the first place, but just how hardcore I want to get about it. Honestly, I would love to be the most dedicated Umbreon collector on the community, but I don't have the money to be so (especially with the competition I'm up against--one person in particular), and it's difficult getting all the items, between the rare stuff and all the new releases (including expensive things like shirts). I really want to be an amazing Umbreon collector, but I also don't know how to do this with how things are financially. So I sometimes wonder, should I continue going for everything, or should I just try for certain things? I'm really leaning towards the former, as I just love Umbreon merch and I do want all of it, but at the same time it can be really stressful on me because I don't really have the means. *Sigh* I'm going to have to try to get a job, and then see if I'm able to collect better. But it's scary, because I'm always afraid that the Umbreon items will become rare/impossible to find before I can afford to get them. Anyway, I'm taking this a bit seriously, but you get the idea. I hate to be so materialistic about something, but at the same time...collecting is so fun! ;;
Anyway, off to eat before going to class~
