The Power of Mint

HELLOs. MintIceCream here(MIC for short) tis a world about me, and the crazy antics of my 5 cats that just love to drive me nuts.

Age-20
Job-substitute teacher
Gender-female
i recently graduated from college with a BS degree in education, certified for art (I'm an art teacher). i currently sub teach while i shop for a job in my content area.

Mindy-my cat, she's a white cat with tabby splotches all over. She's 15 years old, nonsocial, phychotic, and crazy. But i love her all the same.

Texa-my dad's cat primarily, he has a tuxedo style coat. black with a white strip down his belly, on his paws, and the lower half of his face. he's also a manx(no tail) and very talkative. a gentle giant, very lovable, although he doesn't really like me to well. he's 11 years old. (he's also kind of a cranky old @$$)

Bogart-mom's cat. and mine sometimes. the very fat one of our family. he's 7 year old. a brown tabby who loves to raise chaos. he loves to terrorize the adults, and chew on everything. he's also a big pig and will eat anything. even though he's my mom's cat, he loves everyone. he's quite the ladies man. he prefers the company of women over men.

Sammie-Ryan's cat. 7 year old. he is all gray, with thick soft fur. the sweetest cat in the whole world. he isn't all that smart though, and kinda slow. definatley not our brightest bulb, but we love him all the same. he will do anything for a tidbit of human food, so i have managed to teach him a few tricks. his favorite food is gold fish. we try to tell him it's not a real fish, but he doesn't believe us.

Augustus (GUS for short)- everyone's cat. the newest addition to our family, we rescued him from a cousin who should be banned from owning animals. he was 5 weeks old when we got him, so tiny. he's now 3 years old. he is a miniture norwegian forrest cat. all black, orange eyes, and EXTREMLY fluffy. he is the baby of the family, and res1sident ninja/trouble-maker. he is also quite dog like. he will sit and shake paws for a treat, likes to play fetch, loves meeting new people, and go for walks on a leash and harness.

anyways, have fun, and enjoy the power of the minty-ness.

absolutly exhausted

yesterday, after school, i got off the bus at my stop, and made my way to my car to go home. i was putting my backpack in the passenger seat when i realized i had forgotten my lunchbox in the bus. i absolutely adore my lunchboxes. even though one is ancient, and the other was bought at a garage sale, i love lunch. my favorite meal of the day. but my bus makes another quick stop. i get off in front of a huge parking lot. across the lot, a giant yard, is a school. i RAN across both, through the school to the back door, and managed to catch the bus and get my lunchbox back. i was panting so hard and my chest hurt horribly. but i got my lunchbox back. that's not the first time i've had to make a mad dash to the other stop. but i hate doing it.

today i was able to work though. from 8:00 untill forever, the store was CRAZY. we we're PACKED. we ran out of shopping carts this morning, and stayed out of them all day. why? because the superbowl is this sunday (and everyone has to get their munchies), there's supposed to be a snowstorm tommorrow (so everyone panicked), and it was payday week (so everyone had money). i'm so tired.

but good news is, i managed to get my giant drawing that was homework done. i had to do a drawing in graphite of a figure. i found a picture on google of a guy who has trained cats to sit on his head. he then walks around the city, with a cat on his head. i wanna teach my cat to sit on my head!!

bowling league and motion sickness

since i only had one morning class today (painting) i decided to ride the bus to school today to save gas. mom offered to drive to the bus stop, so i didn't have to drive at all today. but about 1/2 way to school, i started feeling slightly nauseas. i get motion sickness in a car really easy if i'm not driving. and even when i am the one driving i feel ill sometimes. it's a good thing i got more dramamine after work last week. i'm going to have to take one before hopping on the bus tomorrow. i don't have a late class tomorrow (just art/science of teaching and printmaking).

the parents, my brother and i decided to go bowling this afternoon. while we were there, one of the workers there (who i call little twerp, in an affectionate way), commented on the fact that he sees us there frequently. he asked if we would like to join the mini bowling league they were starting tonight. it's just 10 weeks long, every wednesday night. for 12 dollars you get your shoes, three games, a whole pizza, and a pitcher of soda or beer. dad and i were all for it. we love bowling, and have both been on leagues before (although when i was on a league i was 6/7 years old, so i'm not sure if that counts). mom and ryan here hesitant. mom just tarted bowling a few months ago, and neither her or ryan are all that good (plus mom's left wrist is in a cast, fractured it a month ago ice skating). but they're not horrible. plus, it's not like dad and i are all that great either. but we talked them into it, and joined the league. i had a blast. and i'm sure all four of us will be great bowlers at the end of the 10 weeks.

---on a side note, i have to tell you guys this. i'm in a night class (life drawing). i hate this class, i hate drawing people. but we draw live models in this class. live nude models. live nude male models. kind of awkward. though we did have a female model last week. it's really weird.

wow

geez, it's been a long time since i posted anything here. i've still been around, and reading posts. i've just been to lazy to actually comment or post. and i've been getting caught up in school work. ugh. i hate school. i can't wait untill i finally graduate and can get a real job.

but nothing all that exciting has been happening for me. i worked over xmas break, made myself horrible sick on sweets, and just got my car back from the repair shop. it had a broken gasket dohicky, and was leaking horribly. and then the engine smoked when i was driving. not fun at all. so i was stuck relying on my parents for rides to and from school. well, halfway to school, i caught a bus for the other half. and i've started a new crocheting project. i'm trying to make a shawl. i finished it last week, but wasn't happy with how it looked, so i completly unraveled it, and have started over.

have any of you watched the new series on cartoon network called Level Up?

secret santa wishlist

well, i love cats. anything humourous involving cats is fantastic. even if it is something silly your pet did once. i love cats. or a poem on how cats are better than dogs (sorry to all the dog lovers out there. personally, i can't stand dogs).

i also love ice cream. and chocolate. not sure how one could write a story about them, but a poem is possible.

if you would rather write a fanfic, i like hieiXkurama from yu yu hakusho. and svenXtrain from black cat. (yes, i'm a yaoi fan).
