pictures and stuff
I'm bored.
Sitting around the house waiting for my job to start has sucked. I've been spending far too much time with my rodents. The guinea pigs are still a little freaked about the presence of Binky. They're not sure what the little interloper is up to, but he's too quiet and he smells weird. (He's blissfully quiet since I oiled his wheel.)
I've posted some of the guinea pig and hamster pictures on my Flickr page:

I can't believe how stupid some people are. I've gotten 2 pieces of hate mail from people who I would guess are around 13 or 14 years old, basically saying, "If you hate so much stuff in Scotland why don't you go back where you came from?" First of all, I'm here because of my husband, not because of any other person in this country. Second, since when does hatred of thick beurocracy and hatred of Marmite equate to hating everything here? I'm not allowed to talk about it if anything here is annoying or disgusting? Basically, because of the recent mail, my main complaint about Scotland isn't the food (which I've always mostly liked anyway) or the government beurocracy. I mostly just hate the stupid people who write crap like this. If you don't like a web site, don't read it. I guess that's a concept just to far above the mind of a whiny teenager.
If any of you know a girl named Lindsay Moore (email address ftt1960@yahoo.com), she's a total bitch. She decided that since I don't like Marmite, I must hate Scotland and that I "poke fun at all things Scottish". In America, we have a thing called a "sense of humor". We use it to deal with stressful situations like moving to a new continent. She also took the opportunity to insult me about my weight (such a 13-year-old move) and basically chose to be offended by everything about me. So if anyone should happen to know her, please feel free to punch her in the crotch for me.
Oh, yeah, that's the punishment for stupidity that my husband and I came up with. Any time someone is profoundly stupid, they should get a swift punch to the crotch. Once or twice in a lifetime, you'll be fine. But the chronically stupid like Lindsay would soon be rendered unable to reproduce by the constant swift punches to the reproductive organs. Who is with me on this?
