Chicago man withdraws 15 yr old daughter's speaking privileges.

Chicago, Il.- Police receive a call from an incomprehensible lady on Tuesday afternoon. They traced the phone call to a home in the downtown section of Chicago where they find a girl crying while mowing the lawn while the girl's parents sat on the porch drinking lemonade. When police questioned the family about the phone call the parents responded that their daughter had cursed violently at them for shutting off the girl's phone due to an incident a few days earlier when the girl sneaked out of the house.
The mother, Eliza Wrigley (37), explained the situation more thoroughly to police.
"Jenny(daughter) was complaining to Robert(father) about how angry she was about us shutting her phone off. He told her that if she was gonna act like a whiny little bitch, he was gonna give her more to whine about. Then he told her to do the dishes and she started cursing us like you wouldn't believe. So Robert, bless his soul, he said, 'Now hun, I don't care that you cursed, but you are gonna learn that you can't just yell at people when they make you angry.' Then he took her vocal cords so she couldn't say nothing back."

Police told the family that as long as they give the girl's voice back in a week they have done nothing against the law.
Upon hearing this, Jenny stuck her tongue out at the officer.
The officer promptly gave her two extra weeks to go without her voice.

STYLE. -shing sparkle sparkle-

I swear, ever since I figured out that I'm actually over 50% german I've been absorbing as much as I could regarding german style. Which is, thankfully enough, incredibly easy for me to imitate because they basically wear the same style of clothes I'm used to wearing. -phew- Dodged a bullet there. Thought I would have to go all out and change my ingrained definition of style.

It's pretty easy, if you wanna know what I found out about the style over there I'll tell you now, because I'm not gonna look for it again.

Basically, what they said is that there's a lot of floral print and bright colors with blue jeans, jackets/long-sleeved shirts, and scarves. European people are really big on scarves. I don't know why, but it might have something to do with the fact that they're cute and cozy. Also, if you're like me and you get cold ALL the time it's easy as hell to imitate a style based around the necessary garments for colder temperatures.

Blah blah blah; I'm going german crazy and I have nothing entertaining to say.

p.s. Does it count as being a crazy cat lady if the cats are just in a videogame?

I like to think I'm part cat.

Let's face it, cats are adorable.  It doesn't matter if you prefer dogs because that's not the point. Dogs are cute too, but we're not talking about them.  This post is about cats and what I learned from my cat, Purdy while she was raising me since I was about three.

First off, cats are all different. So are people and literally every other creature that exists on this planet. All I mean is the things I learned from Purdy may not apply to other cats.

Purdy was very vocal (being a tortoise-shell, this was hardly surprising) and her purring sounded just like a motorboat. And she was ALWAYS purring.

Now it would seem that we named her Purdy because of her constant loud purring. Really though, I tried to name her Perdita (yes after the mother dalmatian from 101 Dalmatians) but I was too young to say the name correctly.  What I inferred from this small part of her life was that people will grow into their names. I know that's just ridiculous, but now I can't think of it any other way. And all future cats I adopt will have their name based on a particular trait that I hope they develop.

Other things that Purdy taught me include how to purr and hiss.  It seems that because I was so young when I received her as a pet, she was able to (indirectly) teach me how to imitate her sounds. I can meow, purr, and hiss just like a cat. But, remember that I said all cats are different? The only cat I can ever imitate will be Purdy. I sound just like her because she was the one I learned from. It's sort of like when two teachers are teaching their classes ways to do the same thing differently. The students from each class will only understand how to do 'whatever' in the way they were taught.

Possibly the most awesome thing Purdy ever taught me was how to be a ninja. I was always paying close attention to her, so it was no surprise that I saw how she moved when she was about to pounce. I learned from her how to perform quick actions in a way that prevented someone from even knowing I was about to do anything at all.

So why even post any of this?  Well, I miss Purdy a lot.

But the main point of this post is that "If you want your child to develop the traits of any particular animal, you must present this animal to them at an incredibly young age. Then when they get older, they'll be SO FUCKING COOL."

That's me and Purdy.
