Kittens, and HAPPY thoughts

annwfynIt appears that Play-Yourself has spawned a new acronym - HAPPY - which stands for 'hug a psycho'. It's used to describe the urge that all of us occasionally get to go up and interact with NPCs in jez's world which we KNOW are evil. We KNOW they are troublesome. We KNOW we are likely to wind up in hideous amounts of trouble, leaping worlds with our tails between our legs. Yet sometimes it just seems to happen. The person who in a game was your PC's One True Love turns up, and it takes five minutes to realise that in reality they are a) deeply dangerous, and not just in a cool and sexy kind of way and b) actually in love with your PC and not you, and therefore not likely to be nice and make allowances. You find that NPC who seems to know all the info you need. You're castorlion and think that the NPC looks like he had a bad childhood and needs a good cuddling. So, to admit to HAPPY thoughts is to admit to really wanting to just go hug that psycho.
Well, I think I need to add a new acronym. Last night, I felt the urge to RAP. Not in a Vanilla Ice kind of way (although I do have a fondness for Eminem) but instead Rant At Psycho. I found myself watching a Master Mage of Entropy loom menacingly and had an overwhelming urge to start ranting on the topic of choices, control, and whether he really had all the information. I would quite happily have started revealing things like 'you're not in control of me! I could just leave your world any time' and finished it up with 'did I mention that that outfit stopped being cool in 1992?' It would have been bad, terrible, catastrophic.
Thankfully,ksirafai saved me, by applying emergency chocolate cake. But I think that new acronym is needed. What does it say about me that dangerous men with the power over fate itself pointing a gun at one's friends inspires boiling fury? And mostly because he was being WRONG.
Erm. Yes. So. Moving on...
pierot and I have been given the option of kittens. I've been speaking by a nice lady who breeds Cornish Rex cats, which are cats with very short and curly coats which in the past have been shown to not affect people with mild allergies to cat as they don't shed really, and can't spread their fur and dander about as much. We're going to meet the parent cats and the kittens and see how his breathing goes. If he gets the whole aching lung thing, then no cats. If it doesn't affect him, then Debbie (the nice lady with the cats) is keeping aside two of the kittens for us.
I'm now pondering. I've missed having a cat. I like cats. I like them a lot. On the other hand, having cats would mean that some of our friends who do have severe allergies are not going to be able to visit. It means that we aren't going to be in a position to say 'sod it' and take off around the world. On the other hand, there would be cats, and I really do like cats. I'm still pondering.
Oh - I have pics of the kittens at the moment. They were only born a couple of days ago, so are very little.
Pondering...
