amie’s been kind of fussy over this lately but we told her it wasn’t like, a big deal. she threatened to snitch to joshua though- but i told her not to because otherwise he probably wouldn’t let us talk to dad anymore. he’s been really tired lately but he sometimes sits with taffy and i if we’re quiet and it’s nice to see him...

i drew a bunch of taffys. :-)

[spectereyes]

i tried drawing a self portrait with gel pens from dad’s study!! :-) i think it came out pretty okay for my first go at it. amie said i should try drawing taffy next, and maybe i will if he stays still long enough to model for me, haha.

amie took me into dad’s office today because she was looking for a flashlight in case the power goes off again- father alexander moved them apparently, and she didn’t want to be ‘fumbling around in the dark with those creepy fuckers’ in reference to the house centipede friends, and i forgot about his corkboard! he puts ‘stuff that’s important to him’ up here. that picture of him from last year is from his birthday- he let me use mom’s old camera for it! :-)

i remember reading that taffy stole a prosthetic eye. is it father alexander’s? i think you drew him with one before. why does he need that? :0

yes, it belongs to father alexander!! taffy’s yucky and a tiny thief, so he takes pretty much everything that isn’t nailed down to the ground. i love him anyways even if he is a little scamp. father alexander has a whole collection of vintage prosthetic eyes, and some newer ones too! he commissions them as like, art pieces. i think the same person who made miss anne’s cane originally does those too. most of them are green! it’s just a colour that he’s fond of, as far as i know? he doesn’t put them into dolls or anything, he just keeps them on little velvet cushions in boxes, the same way people keep rings on display i guess... but father alexander has his own eyes, of course. he just admires them, i guess? sometimes when there’s baptisms in town he’ll comment on it if a baby has green or blueish-greeny ones, since he does all of those for the town. the parents are usually all smiley over it because its nice being told you have a cute baby, i guess, especially since he’s The Priest and lots of people in drydenne are really catholic, so its nice when your preacher’s extra nice.

do you know anyone by the name of “michael”?

hmm? i think that might’ve been one of dad’s friends when i was little? dad didn’t really do a lot of entertaining over at the house when i was small, because he was always worried about what kind of people there are out there in the world. i never really bothered to ask him why he took me out of school, but i’d be willing to bet it has something to do with that too. he’s kind of a worrier! that’s just how he is though, father alexander tries to be more relaxed about rules but they both really are, when it comes down to it. i don’t remember that much about who was around really, but probably joshua might know since he and dad are like, bffies.

How’s your hand and bruise doing?

we ran out of the cute bandaids, so father alexander has to go down to the shops tomorrow to go pick up some more! he did have some of the normal boring adult ones that dad and him use though, so i’m all taped up! taffy won’t sit on the leg that’s bruised and he won’t let me pat him with the hand with the bandaids on it which is sad, but i think it’s because he doesn’t like the smoothness of the fabric-y bit on the bandaid or he’s worried that his fur will stick in the adhesive bits possibly??? you can never really be too sure on what cats’ motivations are, to be honest. it still kind of hurts, but father alexander gave me a baby aspirin and told me not to worry too much because as long as i listen to him keeping it washed up and clean it should be okay.

i got new pjs!!! taffy isn’t really happy about them, but i think that they’re adorable. they have tiny paw prints on them and everything!

[spectereyes]

it probably wasn’t the best idea to go visit the church... father alexander said i should just keep cleaning it off with the solution he gave me and soak the bandages before wrapping it up for the night, but this sucks.

[spectereyes]

i took the bandaid off to give it some air to breathe. father alexander told me to get out of dad’s room, since he wasn’t feeling well and he needed to rest even though it was just like, dropping off a present for him because i thought he’d like the art- and he wasn’t super careful about escorting me out of the room, he was kind of in a hurry. dad did get his present though, but he accidentally touched my fingers when he was taking the piece of paper and my pinky looks gnarly. :-(

google rolled out a fun little make a mother’s day card thingy, but like, i don’t have a mom, so i just made this for dad instead. they didn’t have a good option for his hair, but at least i got to add a little bowtie!

[spectereyes]

prompt journals are really fun too! :-)

[spectereyes]

kuromi’s like amie, and i’m like my melody! i’ve been having a lot of fun with collaging, and she’s super helpful when it comes to sticking down the glitter without making a huge mess so taffy doesn’t try to like, eat any of it. he loves trying to eat sparkly stuff.

[spectereyes]

i found a BABY!!!

[spectereyes]

amie’s insisting on using the outdoor shower thingy we have for when we want to go camping in the woods (which dad usually does in the fall, father alexander said it’s nostalgic for him because it’s how he and mom started really getting along, which makes sense i guess, looking up at the moon and the stars when you’re all alone in the world with someone you love does sound like a really nice time) because of this, by the by. i still think it’s just taffy learning to share, so she shouldn’t be mean to him!! he’s learning to be polite!

[spectereyes]

do i still have to call her my friend on here??? i don’t think that any of the kids from her school know like, my blog address, but on the forums and stuff i’ve been careful to because even though i know dad wouldn’t mind (duh) sometimes people aren’t quite so nice about that kind of thing.

[spectereyes]

two truths one lie sucks as game because that’s how you learn that your friend’s dad is ACTUALLY their uncle, and they just dont like, clarify this to people, because “no one likes talking about their dead parents cat, it’s kind of a moodkiller” or because he just calls her his baby to everyone at work so they just kind of assume.
