I am a little perturbed that fires and floods are following me around Chicago like a skanky, smokey stalker.
At least you aren't in Hawaii (don't say that often, do you?): they had a 5.3 earthquake and a hurricane threatening. That's pocalyptic.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A friend of mine lost a few fingers in an accident. Blood could flow to the injured areas OK, but not back out. So the doctors used leeches to suck the blood out, allowing fresh blood to flow back in.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
CallaLuna--does Ross have a, um, large physique? Because my DH put off buying suits back when we lived in NYC and he had to have for his job until the last minute because he really did not want to get measured and sized. He knew it would depress him and it did--and it resulted in a day of tramping around the city and going to a million stores and ordering four suits in one long-ass day.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I would wear leeches calmly, in a medical environment. Actually, I recall a pond environment in which I was quite calm regarding teh leeches. My mother, NSM.

Doesn't that get messy?

Are billytea and I the only two people on the planet who don't wish they'd eloped?
I'm another one. I really enjoyed mine. Completely laid back. Just the tiniest bit of stress when I saw the front yard (It wasn't a wreck, but I couldn't imagine how a wedding was going to work out. there). Rehersal was a snap even wihtout the dude who was marrying us being there. We forgot the candle thingie we were supposed to light, Jon memorized his vows (which we wrote the day before) and I had to pull a tiny piece of paper from my cleavage to read mine. We even had to reenact the vow part for some friends who were late. Everybody had a good time. The happy family [link]

People keep talking about the apocalypse coming, maybe you are the first of the horsemen.
You would not be the first person to suggest this. If I'm meant to be one of the horsemen, then god damn it, I want a guy following me around making clop-clops with coconuts. And a sword. Watery tart optional.

Punishingly Intricate
My best friend had to take care of the medical leeches for a few weeks as part of her med school training. She grew to be pretty fond of them, as I recall.

Daisy, what a lovely picture. You do look like you're all having a great time. You are especially glowy.

eta: Tommyrot, the answer to your question is: fewer tears and recriminations for a cat wedding, more deep scratches.
