Your reading confirms mine, JZ, although I'm calling cages high maintenance since it involves cleaning said cage, and while Franny has proven herself capable of cleaning the litter box, she has yet to demonstrate the ability to remember to clean it regularly. Hrm. I also hear that they are nocturnal and tend to be loud and active at night. But they are cute, and they are super soft and cuddly, and they get very attached to their humans.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Just realized that it's three weeks until the big family trip and I still have a lot of things to get. That's what weekends are for, right?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
So, I want to take vacation in September. New boss starts in September. Should I give her two weeks before I leave her to muddle through on her own? I don't think not being here during her first week would be good, but how long until she settles in should I expect to not have everything die if I'm not here?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You wouldn't want to know if sexxing (by) a clone is better than masturbation? That question would linger, and if you didn't want to tell, no one would be told.
Pretty handy.
Or something.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I'd have sex with my clone. At least I'd know exactly what I like! I would NOT have sex with a my twin. Nope, nope, nope.
And in a weird segue, but heartfelt....
All the surgery-ma for Grace, Kat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am even more convinced about my answer to the clone question after watching Orphan Black. Maybe a duplicate of myself would be different? I still say no.
But seriously, you guys, an identical twin is the same thing as a clone. A fraternal twin is the same thing as any other sibling. Genetically, I mean.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Nope, nope, nope. No me, no my twin, no my clone, no anyone related to me. There are even a handful of celebrities of nigh-universally acclaimed hotness who I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole because something about them sometimes reminds me of people I'm related to, and that's enough to hit my squick button.

I never got how a person's fantasy about doing it with twins wasn't gross for the siblings in the equation. Even if there wasn't any sibling on sibling action, just being in a general sexual situation with your sibling seems horrid.
If I was a lesbian and me and my brother both had the hots for the same girl, I would not be cool with seeing his O face.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
No me, no my twin, no my clone, no anyone related to me.
Not even by marriage?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am an only child, so I actually don't have the sibling squick much. One of my favorite books is Hotel New Hampshire. Although since reading one of his more recent books, I sort of wonder if John Irving was molested in some way .
