Deux

There's no rule about posting twice in one day (at least I hope not.) so I'm back. After walking into a wall earlier because I was so tired I went outside and took a nap on the play set. It was warm, though uncomfortable and I was woken up by Baby stepping on my stomach. But I'm not so tired anymore, so that's a good thing. I also didn't have to go to the raw milk lecture. My mom started working in the yard and didn't get done till late, which gave me time to watch the last Avatar movie. It was nail-biting. I was literally jumping on the couch screaming for half of it. (**warning, spoilers- if you don't wanna know the ending, don't read this next bit!**) I'm really happy that Aang and Katara fiiinally got together. And Zuko became firelord, figured himself out, got his uncle back, and got closure with his father. Woohoo! But he did end up with Mai, which I'm not happy with. Once he got over his inferiority complex and misplaced hunger for his father's acceptance and got rid of the whole hair in a bun thing he was cute. Like forget Jet kinda cute. (I know I'm confusing some people, but bear with me) And I like his personality. It's sensitive, but determined. Jet was too disillusioned for me, but I was willing to overlook that until Zuko went good. OK. Spoiler warning over.

I just watched a short video on YouTube about two dudes that rescued a lion cub from a sad life in a cage. They raised it until it got too big for their flat and then took it to the wild. A year later they went back to visit the lion, who had assimilated and was the leader of his own pride, and the lion remembered them! It was so sweet. The lion practically knocked them over with hugs and licks and even introduced them to his wife. I've always wanted some sort of exotic animal, but I think it's better for them to be in their natural environments. A tiger or a monkey, even a pig (the babies are so cute!!), would be awesome and different. If someone asked if I had a dog, I could totally be like "naww. I got a koala bear." If I get a chance to save an animal that absolutely can't be reintroduced to the wild, I'd certainly keep it. That would be better than the alternatives of a zoo, research lab, or circus. Even if I can't keep one, I want to be able to save an animal at some point. A firefighter saved a bear cub from the wildfires out west recently. I want to do that. Animals in shelters need saving and I'll do that for sure as soon as I can. (I saved a hamster a few years ago, but she turned out to be horribly mean and tried to chew through my bedroom door to get into my room in the middle of the night once becasue my other hamster was there. I think I'll tell you all about my two favorite hamsters tomorrow.) I kinda want to be able to save like a baby seal or a fox or something not so common though, nurse it back to health and then let it go in a teary farewell only to return years later to find it has a family with lots of cute little babies. You can't really do that with dogs or cats. Or hamsters.

I think I'll go to bed now, so I'm not so tired tomorrow. I don't think my head can take anymore bangs. There was that concussion thing last week and the wall today and that whole incident where I was beaten with a plastic cow...Better play it safe.
