I've been dumped by my cat.

Damn. Now THAT's gotta sting.

Oh, yeah. I hurt worse than getting dumped by the then boyfriend: after all, I hadn't rescued him from the streets and fed him for the past three years.

But allergies I understand, and if I love someone enough to marry him, and he's allergic, I'd give my pet away.

I can see this. I just don't believe in love at first sight (at least for me), and if the guy wasn't able to deal with the pets (whether through allergies or other issues) I can't see dating him long enough to fall in love with him.

Of course, I also expect to die an old maid anyway, so my perspective is not everyone's.

Gonna see Star Wars tonight at the midnight show. Am deeply thrilled.

My alarm clock is set to NPR, and the timing was such that this morning, what woke me up was the Star Wars theme, as it led into the story about the movie. It was actually a little disconcerting at first.

Yup.

It would take an *incredibly* special person...The Love of my Life, which I am so sure is not there for me, I'll use an acronym, LOML to give up a furry friend for. But if LOML had allergies, I suppose I would.

Jealous of connie, now. I don't know when I'll get to see it.

Dammit, I get up to NPR, too, and what I got was a story about NYC teenagers whose first day of high school was 9/11.

How cool to wake up to the Star Wars theme.

I have tickets for Friday night; the hubster's company is taking him out with the gang, so it'll be just me and the kidsters. Should be fun.

I'm violently allergic to cats, and so I have sympathy for the allergic people who otherwise would spend eternity with their sweetie. I didn't choose to have allergies, but I'm not going to put my health at risk to be with someone. I'm a selfish bitch who likes to breathe, I guess.

How cool to wake up to the Star Wars theme.

It was cool, after my initial disorientation. Because I expect to wake up to voices, and so the theme made me think I was still dreaming.

I think it depends on the pet and the person, and the situation. You prioritize, and do what you need to do to make yourself happy. You let go of a person you love or a pet you love (if it comes to that). Not an enviable situation either way, and I'm happy I was able to avoid it.
