lives are forever altered ...
it's been quite the weekend. last night i attended the BEAUTIFUL wedding of Tom and Teigen as mr. jamie's date ... it was fun and i had the chance to see a lot of people whom i had not seen since high school. the wedding was sooo incredible. perfectly imperfect for them :)
in addition, my family has joined the ranks of the recently bereaved. it is with both sadness and also some relief that we are mourning the loss of my wonderful and beautiful aunt. she was diagnosed with lung cancer in november, which rapidly spread to much of her body. she fought valiantly for many months and passed away last night. *sigh* it's very, very sad.
if anyone wishes to sponsor me or join me at the relay for life in hanover on sept 21, please let me know. i'm starting up a team in her memory.
i will post the link to our team as soon as i've got us registered.

Me?
I have many, many goals for myself.
Independence. Respect. Calm. Happiness. Release. Passion. Boldness. Success - on my own terms. Rationality. Hope. Faith. Contentment. LOVE -- for myself. and love for others.
and so many more.
i'm not waiting anymore.
If you haven't already read it, read "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. If you have already read it, read it again. And again.

Interesting day
I came across a couple of beautiful quotations today, and I have searched for the authors but unfortunately I have only come up with "unknown".
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. --Unknown
And secondly
You're going to come across people in your life who say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it's always their actions you should judge them by. It's actions, not words that matter. --Unknown
I remember being obsessed with quotations in first and second year ... perhaps this is a revitalization of an old interest?
I took a bold step today. It didn't work out in my favour, but I still took the step. It's more than I would have ever done in the past, and I am glad I did it. It's progress, y'know? We'll see what happens.
In the meantime, I have this stupid exam in the morning and hours of cramming ahead of me. Never again, history - never again!

my exhausted conclusion
alright, faithful readers (hahaha .. that's a joke ... i think i look at this blog more than anyone, hoping beyond hope to find a comment posted!) ... it is time for me to share with you my latest conclusion.
and as you probably guessed, it's kitty-related.
i won't hold you in suspense any longer .............
i have come to the conclusion that, despite his adorable kitten-ness and itty bitty size, oliver is incredibly SELFISH.
yes, it's sad, but it's true.
i've determined this after close observation of his behaviour - both with me and with kiki. first is his very obvious attempts to have all of the cat food to himself. it doesn't matter whether it's his own kitten food, or kiki's big-kitty food ... it's all for him, right? this is evident from him RACING ... i mean as fast as he can possibly run - from his own bowl (which has been filled with his dinner) to hers, the second he hears her kibble hit the metal. it's really quite entertaining! and rather shocking as well.
also, his incessent demands for attention. yes, i know, he's a kitten, and oh so cute, and really isn't it wonderful that he loves to be snuggled? (yes mom, i know, you're thinking to yourself that i need to bring him to you for constant snuggling and adoration) ... but REALLY - he gets attention, when he wants it, OR ELSE. or else my toes become toys to chew on. or else he won't stop meowing. and for being so tiny, he is REALLY loud when he wants to be!
okay okay i KNOW that this really should not come to a surprise to me at all. especially given my field of study (uh, family relations and human development ... remember?)! I am WELL aware of the total selfishness and egocentrism that characterizes human youngsters .... so why would a kitten be any different, right?
i think that the combination of my exam panic and my lack of recent kitten experience have combined to produce this level of shock. i mean kiki loves to be snuggled, and does make it known when it's the necessary snuggle time -- but at least she knows the meaning of the word "no"!!!
mom, want to come cat-sit? i know you do! :) he's all yours for the next several days ... or a week or so if you really want! but i am afraid they may now officially be a "package deal" ... he's worth it, of course :)

sleep, anyone?
we've got some attachment issues around here.
oliver has grown a bit. *tear* ... yes, the kitten stage only lasts so long. unfortunately. but aside from that ... he has become sooooo insanely attached to me, i am not sure if it's normal! i think he might be making up for not having a kitty mom ... though i think kiki is trying to take on that role! she has made it clear that we don't want any dirty kittens around our palace ...
no .. she's not attacking him ... she's bathing him!
anyway back to the attachment thing. oliver has taken to following me EVERYWHERE. i mean if i move from one chair to another, if i move onto the couch, if i go into my room ...... EVERYWHERE. last night i woke up at least every hour from his constant purring and moving from one area of my body to another (he seems to prefer lying in my hair and purring there ... which is adorable! except that his purr is quite loud and makes it kinda hard to sleep ...). and when he wasn't on me, he was beside me with kiki, mewing about something! i tried lying on the couch but they followed me there, and oliver got back onto my head again. back into my room -- both kitties walking when i walk, stopping when i stop ... just can't lose them!
eventually i did! but i can't disclose my secret, in case they find out .....
:)
anyway i know i really shouldn't complain ... i mean, i get so much snuggle time with my kitties! i just wish that they would remember that when mama sleeps, they should be sleeping too .........
*yawn* ... maybe it's time for a nap!
