My shoulder is broken, by which I mean it is not working as intended. There is an actual injury, though it is of the muscular type rather than the skeletal. More correctly, I think it is my neck that's the injured part, but not even I would try to get away with saying my neck was broken.
So long as I don't hunch or shrug my shoulder, or turn my head to the left, or breathe vigoously, I'm fine. We'll see how much trouble sleeping on it causes.
Sammy really, really wanted to catch a bird today. My poor thwarted Mighty Hunter spent all afternoon with his tail thwapping against the window. I feel bad, sometimes, about things like that. He loves when a fly gets into the house. Highlight of his week, every time.
If I was still living with my parents, I'd be tempted to let him be a basement mouser. That is, I would if I could find a vet to assure me that he wouldn't catch something deadly in the process. My parents are already killing the mice, and that's beyond my power or desire to change.
Besides the fact that there's no way I'd let him be an outdoor cat, because he would definitely get eaten or hit by a car, I will also never have an outdoor cat because they kill songbirds in really ridiculous numbers. I would have a citation for that if all my grad school stuff wasn't boxed in the garage. If only Sammy could be trained to just thirst for the blood of invasive species...
I was rereading the discussion at![[site community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/comm_staff.png)
dw_suggestions about adding a like button. I know there was a discussion a while back about using polls as feedback for fic, but if there's been meta about general entry feedback, I missed it.
Yeah, my socialization issues, let me show you them. ( Read more... )
I think I'm going to start including a tickeh box poll at the end of my fic entries, should I ever write anything ever again. Maybe on longer thinky things, as well, if I can manage to keep my entries to a single subject (unlikely). I remember someone having a "liked it/didn't like it/no opinion" box, but I think I would lean towards "I made it to the end!" I would totally do that in the footer of every entry if it didn't mean making eleventy billion polls.
ETA: I read these forever ago, and then forgot they existed: Dreamwidth Design Personas. My desire for clicky approval thing? All Lisa.
