But enough about me. Errr... actually this whole site is dedicated to me. What am I talking about? Of course, I'm talking about me. Duh! Anyways, on to the amusement:

I took out a condom and was playing around with it. I put it over one of my hands and then blew as much air into it as I could. It was like seeing an invisible-ish cast over my hand. Then I started pushing the air around and made it look like my hand was in a snow globe without the snow (or water for that matter).

After a while I got bored with my little games and let the air out. I couldn't think of anything else wacky to do with just my hand inside, so I just kinda forgot about it for a bit. (Can you believe me, of all people, couldn't think of anything else W A C K Y to do with what seems like an endless array of crazy Carisa stuff to be done with a condom other than the obvious?)

I heard Tierna, my rat, rustling under her blanket. So I did the next most obvious step. I called her name. It took awhile, but she stuck her little nose out and was interested in what was going on. I figured she just thought that I had food for her, so that's why she cared to listen. She just sniffed the air and looked around (as limitedly as she could being a rat and all). Anyways! (Wow, do I get sidetracked, or what?!)

Gross! Tierna just pissed on me. She's been hanging out on my shoulder while I was typing and this is just disgusting. I'll be back.

Ok. All better. Now, where was I? ... Oh, yes! My Romanian Grandmother visited. hehehe... let me explain. Tierna sniffed the condom and then, being a rat, she tried to bite it. Unfortunately, under the part she was trying to bite, was my finger. Ouch! She was successful at breaking the thing after about a minute of me trying to get my finger out of harms way. When the rest of the air went out, I decided to get the condom off my hand.

So, Tierna is still curious about it and thinks she must have it. So she tries to drag it under her blanket to hoard with the rest of the fabrics and papers and lint and whatever else she steals from the couch. I don't want her chewing on it and possibly getting sick, so I start playing tug-of-war with her.

Ahh... the simple joys of owning rodents. hehehe. :-)

After that charade, I started playing with Tierna (like she was a doll, not like she would like to play). And I was teasing her with the condom just pulling it out of her reach. I know. I know. I'm mean, but I thought it was funny. Then it was pulled out of my hand by Tierna and it fell on her head. I started laughing. It was Grandma from Romania. hehehe. She looked so cute and ridiculious at the same time. If only she knew.

I took her into one of my hands and made her "talk" (really just me talking for her as if she were a miniature person). She started talking about how hard it was for her to get to the new country to visit all her children. hehehehe. I was going nuts. I guess that's what happens when you don't have human contact for a couple weeks.

Well, tonight was a night I will remember. Mostly because I wrote about it, but it was a funny time as well.
