My birthday is coming up in 8 days on Jan 21st and I’m going to ask my nan if I can get a kitten, but theres one problem, she hates cats (For no reason, may I mention, she has no bad experiences with them whatsoever, my dad says all her problem is is that she was told bad things about cats when she was a child by her parents) although she did, even though she wouldn’t admit it, like my last little boy (cat), Henry, and a little kitty would be even cuter! When I decided this 5-6 months ago I knew that if I just asked on any old day she’d say no so I secretly took about 10 hours out of my week every week (some nights I’d study for up to 4 hours, and some nights I didn’t study, but on average it would have been about 10 hours of studying how to care for a cat every week) so now I’m stacked with heaps of information and I know exactly what to do and how to care for the kitty, AND all I’ve asked for for my birthday is money (So I’ll probably get $300-$350 if it’s a lucky day) and I’ve already saved up about $350 so lets just say I’d have about $700 for taking care of the kitty, plus I get $40 every month and it costs about $20-$30 on average monthly to buy food and litter and treats for a kitty, so really after food and treats all I need to get a toy or two (The rest I can just make my own toys, like old ripped up clothes, string, cardboard boxes, ect) and a scratching post and a litter tray and that altogether should cost about $100 – $150 or so, so really, I think I have plently of money to raise the cat, because I’m paying for the expenses for the cat if my nan says yes, AND I’ve over time printed out lots of articles on how to take care of cats and what not and stuck them all in this blank page book I have, and made it all pretty and nearly every page has a picture of a cute kitty on it, so when I show my nan that I know all of these things and know how to take care of a cat, hopefully she’ll also see how beautiful cats are, and then once she’s looked at the book, I’ll see if she’s looking like she’s going to say no or yes, and if she looks like she’s about to say no I’ll say “Hey, lets drive down to the shelter just to take a look? Or even the pet shop just to look at the kittens so you know what to expect if we do go and adopt one if you say yes” or something along those lines and then she’ll either say no or yes and then we’ll obviously go to the shelter. SO sorry for that long story but anyway do you think she’ll say yes? It’s not like she’s a cranky old woman, she’s lovely, she’s always laughing and smiling, really it’s hard to believe she could hate such a beautiful animal for no reason.

P.S. when I say I’ve studied, I don’t mean going and looking at videos of cats playing or pictures of kittens or whatever, I mean actually going onto articles by vets and looking into nearly every single thing that will make my cat have the happiest, longest, most memorable life a cat has ever had. Raising a cat and having it as my own would mean so much to me, the last time I lived with a kitten was when I was 3, Henry was a kitten back then, unfortunately he died about 4-5 months ago.. :( But I don’t want a kitten because he’s dead, if you’ll look I actually said I decided to get a kitten about 6 months ago..

Long story short I decided I wanted a kitten 6 months ago but the only thing holding me back was my STILL-cat-hating-grandmother even after she loved the last cat I had so I studied a lot every week (Aprox 10 hours of my time every week devoted to studying how to care for a cat, that’s about 200 hrs all going towards studying cat care!) hoping that I’d have a chance but I needed an even bigger chance so I decided to wait for my birthday, which is in 8 days, but I needed an even BIGGER chance so I will have saved up about $350 and should get about $350 on my birthday because all I asked for was money so I should have $700 and I’ve already gotten food and litter taken care of with the $10 I get every week so I’ve got more than enough to take care of the cat because I will be paying for the cats expenses for a bigger chance so now money isn’t a problem but the only thing holding me back now is my nan. I’ve even made up a whole big 100 page book of just the best articles and whatnot on taking care of cats and I’ve even put in it about 40 pictures of beautiful cats so that might help and I’m planning to show her that obviously and she wont read everything (obvious again) but as she flicks through she’ll see the cute kittens and that might give me a bit more of a chance too. I’ve even made up a whole list of reasons for getting a cat and the books so big it’s got a contents page!

So anyway I’ve worked very very hard in the past 5 or 6 months to get all the information in my brain of how to take care of a cat, I’ve made a book covering all cat care things and I’ve read books about cats and just so much of my hard work and time has gone i
R3ap3r, thanks for the answer, and I dunno if I’d sneak a kitty in the house, but I’ll definately do what I said I was going to do :)

rrm38, oh no, no, no, no, my nan wouldn’t hurt a fly, believe me, the hard part is asking her without any cat in my hand to show her how fantastic and beautiful they are, but if I get her to go to a shelter, even if she hasn’t given me an answer yet, once she sees a little innocent kitten mewing with it’s adorable little face and its cute little wobbly walk she’ll fall for it right away, I know her, especially if it’s a kitten, I know she loves baby tigers because they’re so cute, so she’ll probably love a little gorgeous kitten. I think. Heh. But anyway even if she was a bit sus on it at first, I find kittens have powers to win people over, especially if it’s my nan, she’ll still say she doesn’t like it, but believe me, she’ll feed it. She even use to feed Henry. Henry came when she called. She didn’t touch him, but you could tell she cared about him :
Kristen, please, give me a break! I am not wanting a newborn baby! I’m looking for a cat about 5-8 weeks old, and also I live with my dad too, and there is no dogs in the house, I never said there was. And also you keep giving me hassle about cats and their well-being when you’re yet another cat breeder in this world contributing to the deaths of so many cats in shelters! All the people that bought from you could have gotten a cat from a cat shelter and saved a life. But anyway I’m not going to start an argument with you because I know who I am and I know what kind of person I am and I know that if I get a kitten I will give it all of my love and all of my care until the day it dies, probably at about 20 years old because I will do anything for this cat. I am a responsible person and I know that, and you cannot tell me I am not because I know myself more than you do. You’re probably reading this thinking “What an ignorant brat” but I know who I am and I know what I can accomplish.
Just a note for everybody, I’m sorry, I know I should’ve mentioned this before, but I also live with my dad, and he’d probably take care of really big money things and he would take care of the cat while I’m away. And that’s just what makes me so peed off, the fact that I know I have to worry so much and work so, so much just to ask my nan if I could get a cat, and she won’t even have to do anything to care for the cat exept for maybe feed it once in a blue moon! But I know that I have to try and I believe that if I keep trying and put all my effort into it I can get her to say yes. It’s just so stupid that I have to work so hard to get approval to do something and the person I’m asking approval from doesn’t even have to give me any of their time or money or ANYTHING for me to do it, it’s like all she’s worried about it cat hair being on the floor, or maybe she thinks just the presence of a cat in the house will make her depressed or something!? I don’t know.. Hopefully she’ll say yes.

I could not believe how young and glamorous this ladies were, esp Tara aged 36, she even snogged the face off of a lad celebrating his 21 st birthday in a club on a night out ( but I personally think the TV cameras may have had something to do with it, 3 mins of fame and all that?!)

It’s STILL giving the WRONG message to today’s teens, that it’s ok to have babies at the age of 16/17, as your mum will help you and it’s easy, it’s NOT easy, it’s hard work being a single mum, lack of time, money etc etc Yes your mum will be there to HELP and support you up to a POINT but your mum will NOT be there at 3am on the morning when your child is bawling it’s eyes out and you are sleep deprived, lonely stessed and depressed you are on your OWN. There is little glamour to having children, I wish these documentaries gave the full and real picture to these girls and maybe the countries teen pregnancy rate would NOT be as high.

]]> http://yesim21.com/survey-time-itll-be-fun/feed 18 parties, facebook, and guilt? http://yesim21.com/parties-facebook-and-guilt http://yesim21.com/parties-facebook-and-guilt#comments Tue, 06 Apr 2010 03:20:24 +0000 admin http://yesim21.com/parties-facebook-and-guilt Last Friday night, I went to a party at UCSD for a friend’s birthday. She turned 21 and of course a party was not without people getting intoxicated and acting dumb. I took a lot of pictures and I was not afraid to post them up on facebook until someone reminded me that my dad is my facebook friend.

As I opened the photo album, I had to block my dad from my album. I didn’t feel right doing that. My pictures are not outrageous or scandalous at all, but I suppose I am just worried about the reactions that my dad will have when he sees this kind of pictures where my friends and my face are all glowing and shinning.

A day after I uploaded the pictures and blocked my dad, I suddenly remembered that my dad’s friend is also my friend on facebook. If my dad’s friend talks to my dad about this party that I went to, my dad would probably feel really disappointed in me as I have deliberately blocked him from a part of my life.

I know I can always set a photo album to completely private for everyone except for the people in the album, but at the same time, I feel like I should have nothing to hide. People in college drink and have fun. Plus, I didn’t do anything stupid or irresponsible and the atmosphere of the party was comparably innocent and clean.

Though for me, I guess it is unusual for me behave this way and post this kind of pictures. I am a devout Christian and I have a lot of Christian friends that are strictly opposed to drinking and partying. However, I just feel like having a little bit of fun during special occasions is not something bad. But pictures are worth a thousand words. I know that when some of my friends see a picture that involves a mere bottle of beer in it, they would immediately associate it with “debauchery” but nothing else.

Therefore, as much as I had a lot of fun during the party, I can’t help but let my fear of people’s judgment and disappointment overwhelmed and burdened me. As I had spent a long time in college standing firm to the principle of not drinking, the last thing I want people to think is that I am just a hypocrite. However, there are just joyous times like this when I just couldn’t help it but to let loose, act my age, and have fun with my close group of friends.

Did I do something wrong? If I know that I didn’t, why do I still feel so guilty and burdened? Perhaps, I simply cannot afford having such fun because I am too concerned with what other people would think of me and my principle. Perhaps, I should just continue to be infallibly good and stick to what people have expected of me. Maybe that way, I might feel better.
What do you think?

I tried to buy some beer earlier and the guy wouldn’t let me even though I have an official document saying I’m 21.. I was able to buy beer and go to a bar a few days ago. So what is the law with an expired id with an official document from dmv saying your license is good for 2 more months..Thanks!

I’ve only been on hormones for ~10 months (on August 10th), and I wanted a third-party opinion on how well they were working. I’m 19 years old, and started transitioning at about 18 and 10 months.

These are the main before pictures I have:

http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc64/BlueSapphire88/n1521481540_30600388_4484.jpg

^ is me and my best friend going to prom together 6 months before I started hormones and 3 months before my anti-androgen; I hated wearing a suit, but I wasn’t out yet, so :-/. My bff (the blonde girl in the picture) knew at this time though.

http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc64/BlueSapphire88/n751325297_104906_5502.jpg

^ is me at my 18th birthday party, 7 months before I started my anti-androgen and 10 months before hormones. If you’re wondering why my hair sucks, my mom made me go to Supercuts -.-.

This is a picture of me from June, at my best (right after a salon trip):

http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc64/BlueSapphire88/2008-06-21-53035.jpg

And this is a picture of me on a normal day (taken within the last 2 months)

http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc64/BlueSapphire88/2008-06-02-53361.jpg

^ Yes, I know I look stupid in this picture xD; I kept it because it allows me to laugh whenever I see it ^.^.

Also, I would appreciate any fashion, etc. tips you have for me based on my picture; I have a salon trip in two weeks (I’m getting caramel highlights! ^.^), and everything helps! Thanks!

~ Stephanie
Edit: To Reme_1:

I’ve always felt like a girl; I always refused to come out as ‘gay,’ though I would openly admit to liking guys, since I’m straight.

I told my parents 14 months ago, and haven’t had any doubts since I started; this has been the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. I’ll be so happy once I get surgery (first stage May ‘09, second stage August ‘09)! ^.^

My parents freaked at first, and initially said they were going to disown me if I persisted. Needless to say, that was a very stressful time for me. However, once they actually sat down and released I wasn’t the only person who does this, and that there were very legal methods to change, they grew more accepting of it. I still don’t think they’re comfortable with it though, and my dad doesn’t even make an effort to use Stephanie or female pronouns :-/.

And I’ll make sure to put up pictures in 6-12 months ;) .

We’ve rented a limo and plan to hit a club or two that night. I’ve already bought some tiaras for myself (I’m the one turning 22) and the other b-day girls, and I’ll most likely buy some “Birthday Girl” sashes…or maybe I’ll make them…Any ideas on how to do that w/out the sashes looking cheap? My main problem, though, is what to give the other girls attending? I’ve thought about doing a hangover survival kit as sort of a cute gag gift. I’d probably give these to all the girls, and they might include things like bottled water, coffee packet, antacid, pain-killer, sleep mask/eye gel mask, pepto bismol, alka-seltzer, chapstick, energy drink…etc. Any ideas on how to do this or what else to put in? Any other ideas for party favors or gifts for the birthday girls? Thanks!
Ok, one of the b-day girls and I have decided to do a picture scavenger hunt. We want to give everyone their own disposable camera along with a list of things to take pictures of (taking a shot with the bartender, PDA w/ an inanimate object, bouncer checking ID, etc.). Does anyone have any ideas for pictures we could take?
