Hunter S. Cat was a good man. When I went through puberty I outgrew my bed in about 3 months, spurting from a stalky 4' to a gangly and awkward 6'. Hunter's favourite hobby was to wait and prey at the end of my bed and when he saw my hairy overgrown toes dangling over the edge, probably resembling a family of mice, he would make his attack. I guess I'm just happy he got to spend the last couple years of his life outside of the dank smokey apartment in Ottawa, hunting real mice in my Dad's driveway in Perth.
When my Dad, sister, and myself moved from Kilborn in Ottawa to the nearby apartment on Palm St., Hunter was in the midst of some lonely journey into the inner-sanctums of the cat-mind and the cat-wilderness. We were forced to leave him behind but a couple months later my sister went back to Kilborn and put up posters looking for Hunter, I was pessimistic about it all. The next day the new tenants of our old-house called us to ask us to come pick up Hunter, who had shown up tattered and weary, bleeding from the leg. From that point on he assumed some sort of bizarre human-like charisma similiar to a loving, kind old man who knows just where he belongs.
God dammit Hunter, couldn't you have just waited a couple more weeks...fuck's sake.
I leave on Wednesday the 17th, the trip is gonna suck the big one. Got a 7 hour layover in Toronto, yay. How many Greyhound station floors have I slept on? I often wonder if I'll ever buy a car or if I'm just destined to live like this forever.
Mag and I are splitsville, my weak will fell...these things are meant to be I guess...20 year olds don't belong in long-distance relationships.
I have zero passion for cooking right now, good thing it's my destiny to be a cook or I'd probably pack in my bags at this point.
I have an unappeasable hunger to be in San Francisco after seeing it's glory last February. I can't stop thinking about it.

Wow. I wish you could hear me applauding you right now.
You're more all over the map than the British empire.

It's not confusing at all.
hope you dont mind me deleting those comments i wrote. there are a lot of fans on the internet who are asking many questions that don't involve them.
Really? My uncle just phoned me to tell me how stoked he was on the comments. He said that he wants to meet you and shake your hand because of the thorough shake-down you performed on me.
Who are these anonymous fans?
