Of Plume And The Two Choices
Election day today. I duly went and voted. It is now evening and the results are slowly rolling in. Too early to tell anything for sure yet, but I am quietly confident that the government has bribed its way to another term. Who cares about the lies, the illegal wars, the downfall of welfare, the xenophobia. As long as the taxes don’t rise and the rich stay rich then we can ignore all that. All hail to the crook.
A much harder decision was the one about Lana, the kitten. I have decided to say no to the offer. As amazing as the offer was, and as amazing as the kitten was. I hope this doesn’t upset Desiree too much, or Lana too much, or any of you others too much. It was a very hard decision. Mostly because Lana was so incredibly beautiful and cute, really the perfect looking kitten in my book. For a while I have felt like it would be best for me to wait and get a cat at a shelter like I had originally planned. But I put off the decision because every time I saw pictures or heard little stories about Lana, it melted my heart. I will probably regret my decision. I will probably think myself a fool. In the end though, I think it is the Luna thing that still stings too much.
I don’t know. Life is a complicated thing for a silly boy like me.

You should never regret a decision if you made it for the right reason at the time.

Go for a yellow & white kitty at the shelter or a calico kitty. That way you won’t be reminded of Luna or Lana.
It’s good for you to make your own decisions, Plume. We’ll support you in whatever you decide is best for you at the time. Stu knows what he’s talking about.
Knock, Knock.
Who’s there?
Goat.
Goat Who?
Goat to the door and see!
LuisLemmings: I need help with the jokes. Please come to my rescue!

Knock, Knock.
Who’s there?
Goat.
Goat who?
A pretty happy goat in a little sail boat,
floating on a moat with a blue speckled tote.
It spoke with a hum, chewing redberry gum, sharing with its chums:
Plume and Debster.
Yum, yum, yum.
Chew, chew, chew.
Yes! Gum! No to BOO!
There’s two more, but don’t be a bore.
Find it here; find it now.
Locate it, on that dictionary Webster,
in the corner, by the border,
under the chair.
No time to spare!
Oh, you crazy goat tempster.
There’s the gum!
For Plume and Debster.

Hee, hee LuisLemmings. I was getting desperate, thanks for the help.
Plume: remember next time LuisLemmings or I need cheering up, we’re depending on you to tell us silly jokes or make up rhyming stories.
Glad to hear you went and voted. Anything interesting happen while you were there?

Anytime Debster!
We must what we can to support and keep our Plume happy and healthy.
I do have this fear that Plume will grow to the size of Mothra, gather a herd of killer robot goats and take over the planet.
Then he’ll force us to sing this song by the famous singer Feist:
“Now At Last”
Now at last I know
What a fool I’ve been
For have lost the last love
I should ever win
Now at last I see
How my heart was blind
To the joys before me
That I left behind
When the wind was fresh
On the hills
And the stars were new in the sky
And the lark was held in the still
Where was I
Where was I
When the spring is cold
Where do robins go
What makes winters lonely
Now at last I know
When the wind was fresh
On the hills
And the stars were new in the sky
And the lark was held in the still
Where was I
Where was I
When the spring is cold
Where do robins go
What makes winters lonely
Now at last I know.
Then the killer robot goats will weep which make their metal works rusty. Plume will be reduced back to his normal self.
Mothra is gone. The goats are happy. And everyone on the planet is safe.
So I think your choice for a kitten is a good one. You have to make the best decision for YOU.
Thus: Mothra+Killer Robot Goats+world domination=bad decision.
But: Plume+Goats+Feist+kitten of your choice=good decision.

I love the old Godzilla & Mothra movies. I like to make that sound that Godzilla makes. I don’t imitate him very well, so when I get started, I can go on for hours practicing.
Would the goat breathe fire like Godzilla can? I think that would be cool.

Well, if the goats did breathe fire it might burn off all of Plume’s hair. He’ll end up like an odd-looking hairless woman. You know the kind that plucked her eyebrows for years and years and they never grew back. So now she pencils them in until the arch gets higher and higher. A forever surprised look will be on her face.
As for the roar, that’s pretty kewl! But wouldn’t your goats get scared?
If we roared like that to Plume, he’ll throw his eyeliners at us, run away, and then we’ll feel awfully bad.
I don’t want Plume to go without his eyebrows!
I can’t!
I won’t!
We shan’t!
November 15th, 2007 at 22:28
I’ve never really noticed Plume’s eyebrows. Goats don’t have eyebrows!

Stu – True dat.
Debster & LuisLemmings – I feel like I just walked into the strangest conversation of my life! Thank you for the smiles. I don’t think I could live up to all these jokes and rhymes. I never rhyme, I just don’t have the time, can you..ehm.. spare me a dime?
Hmm hmmm hmm. Nothing interesting happened at the voting really. Although I did get a little confused when the ballott opened with “who’s the best superhero, Batman or Superman?”. But then I realised I wasn’t wearing my glasses and thereonafter it was smooth sailing.
Also, I don’t need killer robot goats. I have Mads, he’s much more scary!

Don’t worry about my feelings about your decision regarding Lana. I can’t blame you at all and I kinda thought you’d chose not to have her. She’s still lovely, though. She plays outside my mums house in her garden house all the time now so I see her almost daily. I am totally smitten and maybe it’s for the best my camera cable has gone walk-a-bouts cos you’d have definitely changed your mind a thousand times over if you’d seen her more. She’s big enough to be rehomed now, but as things stand, she’ll probably just hang around here. It’s cat central, Adam says, and of course it would’ve been wonderful if just one of these little felines could have had a more cuddle filled life with the Plumster, but this position, I am sure, will be duly filled by a cat from a shelter. Still think you should get a kitten from a shelter, though. Nothing beats having a kitten!
It appears Luna’s mum is pregnant again. This time, not by Aslan, whom we suspect has died (or at least gone), so my mum will soon have kittens again. What to do with them all, eh!
I’ve been really, really sick with the flu, which is why I’ve been gone from your guestbook, btw and in case you were wondering or had noticed. Feeling much better now, though.

Oh, and before I forget: Thanks for voting! And it wasn’t all bad – my party more than doubled their seats in parliament! I am so chuffed as would my father have been. He was active in the party for as long as I can remember – as has my mum, actually! I’m RED and I’m proud!
November 16th, 2007 at 17:18
Hi Desiree. Yes, I wondered where you were. Sorry to hear you’ve had the flu. Has the whole family got it, too?
My husband and I got our flu shots a couple of weeks ago. Hope they do the trick. My husband did have the flu in Feb. of this year even though we both had shots! I never did get it from him.
November 17th, 2007 at 0:16
Desiree – She is definitely lovely. If I end up with a kitten half as great as her then I’ll be happy. And I hope she’ll have a good life at “cat central” hehe.
Congrats on the election. At least it wasn’t all horrible. I can reveal that the person I voted for had a quite good election personally. In the top 10, or was it top 5? Too bad it wasn’t enough to bring down the government. Oh well, we’ll get them next time. I bet.
I care more about kittens anyway. They should run for power.
