I am a human, not a cat.

I do not, I repeat, do not get "the zoomies".

Thank you for your understanding.

I do not, I repeat, do not get "the zoomies".

Is it can haz story nao?

[conuly]

It's not really very interesting. Or a story. Sometimes when I have thoughts in my head, I like to pace them out. That's all. This is absolutely normal human behavior.

[pauamma]

*nod* (It's also perfectly normal giant crab behavior.)

[conuly]

I suppose this could be one of the early stages of late life carcinization.

More like long past acknowledgement that the name fit being a big softy under my tough exterior. Which I publicly acknowledged in *checks* 2005.

“Pacing” implies an even pace back and forth. Not run-run-run-run! Walk walk walk back. Run-run-run-ruuuun! Walk-walk-walk. You DEFINITELY get the zoomiez!

[conuly]

I DO NOT.

[pauamma]

Have you considered, instead of denying it, turning your back on them and licking one of your shoulders to signify contemptuous indifference at the thought? :-)

“I do not, I repeat, do not get ‘the zoomies.’”

How about elevenses?

[conuly]

Only when very hungry.

Two of my friends who were husband and wife died due to Oxycontin, which was prescribed by their doctors in the phase when doctors were assured it was not habit-forming. The husband overdosed by crushing the pills. His wife died a year later from an overdose of sedatives in the aftermath of trying to detox from the drug at home. There's not a hole on earth deep enough to put the owners of Purdue Pharma in.
