Milk and Catfish
An interchange that happened at my friend Jackie's house with her daughter Anya and Anya's friend, Victoria, who was visiting:
Jackie: "Girls, what would you like for lunch?
Anya: "I don't know!"
Victoria: "Catfish!"
J: "Pardon?"
V: "CAT-FISH."
J: "Hmmm. I don't have any catfish in the house. How about tuna fish?"
V: "Does it taste like catfish?"
J: "Erm ... erm... yes?"
V: "OK!
J: OK, do you want it on a sandwich or in a dish?
V: In a dish.
J: With mayonnaise?
V: No. Mayonnaise is gross. Just plain. Like cats eat it.
J: OK. Are you sure?
V: "Yes! But you really should get some catfish for next time. It's yummy.
J: Really? I've never had it. Do you know why they call it catfish?
V: Yes! You know... cats eat fish... catfish! That's why I like mine plain... like the cats eat it. And, because mayonnaise is gross. I would also like some milk please. Thank you, Miss Jackie.
J: Because cats like milk?
V: No. Because you said there is no soda in your house.

What D&D character are you?
I Am A: Chaotic Good Elf Bard Mage
Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.
Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.
Primary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.
Secondary Class:
Mages harness the magical energies for their own use. Spells, spell books, and long hours in the library are their loves. While often not physically strong, their mental talents can make up for this.
Deity:
Hanali Cenanil is the Chaotic Good elven goddess of love, beauty, and art. She is also known as the Heart of Gold and Lady Goldheart. Her followers delight in creation and youth, and work to spread happiness, love, and beauty. Their preferred weapon is the dagger.

So... um...
There's something ironic about me breaking a nearly two-month silence for this, but, is anyone planning to play Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach?
Why is it ironic? Except for New Year's Day and New Year's Day (Observed), I've played less than five hours on MMORPGs... that's CoV and WoW combined.
What else is going on in my life, then? Much more than I can type out right now, before I run off. My mom's in town--came in last night--and we're gonna go find something interesting to eat, somewhere, before she hits the Landmark Forum for the weekend. She's off on a Mexican Riviera cruise starting next weekend.
Meanwhile, back in the snowy white North, my sister rescued a kitten from the sub-freezing temperatures of Ottawa. She and her husband are both allergic so they had one night of fun and then took it to the Humane Society. Pity, though. The kitty looks so cute!
