Saturday Sillies (#207/365)

Posted by: Devyl Gyrl

Last night, I had nightmare after nightmare, and couldn’t seem to sleep properly. Some were re-living things that had happened in my past. Others were nightmares about the impossible.

I woke up feeling cloudy, distressed, and had no idea why. I stumbled out into the still-dark living room, and screamed at the top of my lungs when I saw a coil in the floor, poised and ready to strike. I leapt backwards, screamed out “Aidan! Get this fucking snake out of the house!” and flipped on a light.

When the light filled the room, I realized
A) It is *not* 1994 …
B) The ’snake’ was Willow D. Kitten, curled up in a ball, his tail propped up on the glass he’d obviously been sneaking a drink out of when it fell to the ground.

Despite the fact I was alone, had no audience, and was fairly certain nobody had to know what had just happened, I was blushing beet red and laughing my ass off at the same time.

I wonder if Aidan’s ears were burning? If so, I hope he knows, as much as I love him… I’m gonna kick his everloving ass for entering in my nightmares. Ex-boyfriends are supposed to play nice in dreams, dammit, and we’re only supposed to remember the *good* things.

** Disclaimer: this nightmare of mine is based on a true story, when I *did* nearly step on the little poisonous snake my then-boyfriend Aidan had sworn could *not* get out of the fish tank because he’d stacked a dozen porn magazines on top. Aidan was wrong. I was not a happy camper. The snake immediately found a new home.

** Disclaimer 2: I like snakes, I think they are fascinating and beautiful, and I love holding the really really really big ones … the little ones? They scare the bejeezus outta me.

    I like snakes…behind glass. Otherwise, I am terrified of them.

    Porn magazines in the reptile room on the cages? Genius, pure genius. I’d enjoy cleaning the tanks more and it would make the reptile room much more creepy. That’s awesome.

    I did have an escapee in the living room the other day. I had fed and forgot the close the lid. Although escapes are rare, I am far too forgetful in that way to keep anything venomous.

    Well, we didn’t have kids - was just he and I. And to tell you the truth, those porn magazines gave me a HUGE complex. Those, and the stacks of movies and the whole CABINET of condoms. I thought I was living with the devil himself.

    Now look at me … porn is my friend. ;)
