I rescued this little guy yesterday.

A lady called Petsmart wondering what to do with him, said he'd fallen out of the nest and broken a leg. I said I'd take him. Isn't my first little bird, won't be my last. They almost never live, but when they do its really great. I honestly didn't think he'd make it through the night, but this morning the boy came in and said "you better do something about this bird, he won't shut up." Sure enough, he was in his little box squaking his head off. I went to get him some meal-worms and he opened right up.

He's been eating every 30 minutes today. He'll go to sleep and then start making a ruckus and I'll come in and as soon as he sees me he open his little mouth and begs for food. In one sitting he eats about 50 ccs of baby bird formula and 3 calcium-dusted meal worms. He falls asleep when I pet his little head. His leg is definitely broken, but only one of them, and everything else looks good. He's bright eyed with a healthy appetite, so I'm hoping he pulls through. Having a pet blue-jay might be cool.

My nose still hurts today. Damn parrot.
I think I promised these pics at one point... my cool color-changing fish tank.


Look at my dumb dog.

I'm feeling pretty good the last few days. If my little bird buddy will pull through I'll be really thrilled.

I got attacked today. By one of these:

A lady brought it to Petsmart for me to look at because I was interested in buying her (the parrot, not the lady.) The moment the bird realized I was there she took careful aim and launched herself off her owner's shoulder and directly onto my face, where she clawed my forehead and bit me squarely on the end of my nose absolutely as hard as she could. She then used my face as a launching pad and fly back to her owner's shoulder. My nose bled for over an hour. It really hurts.
Needless to say I'm not buying the bird.

Everyone seems to perceive me as this strong, independent woman. I honestly have no idea why. I don't know what would give anyone that idea. I'm a total pushover... I get walked all over, taken for granted, and ordered around. What's more is that I know this about myself, but I continue to allow it to happen. I must be a glutton for punishment.
Why do men make everything a competition? I was riding my bike today on the mountain bike trail at the state park, with both my dogs. Not a training ride or anything, just moseying along have a nice time with my dogs. On a downhill two guys about my age tried to pass me, but there wasn't really room to pass. One of them yelled at me "Lets step it up girly!" so as soon as I got to the bottom of the hill I let them by.
I didn't see them for several minutes, until I came to a long, slow, grueling uphill climb. The two fags were walking their bikes up the hill... not even attempting to ride it. I hammered up the hill past them and yelled back "step it up boys!" I stopped to give the dogs some water at the top of the hill and saw them limping up, gasping just from walking up the hill.
Lame.
My world has been rattled a little bit today. I won't go into details, but I'm a little upset. I don't feel like sharing it with the world, but I feel the world should know I'm upset.
I've decided to sublease my apartment and rent a house outside of town where I can keep my horse. I need a roommate, though. I'm looking for one, preferably female or a gay male... and you better be a fucking flaming homosexual... none of that "I'm gay but I act straight" shit. I don't buy that.
Of course, I need someone who is fine with all my pets, snake included. Once i move Yuma onto the property I'll have to get him a buddy... I'll probably go to the sale and rescue some little pony or malnourished horse who needs saving from the kill buyers.
I feel very lonely again today... I really need a good girl friend here in town. For the most part though people in Tyler Texas suck. They're all bible thumping preachy types.

I am officially boring. The boy is out of town for the night, and I'm so lame that I don't have any friends in this little town to hang out with, so I sit around on suicidegirls talking babytalk to my dog. I feel like one of those boring couples who can't function without my better half... you know the ones who answer every question with "we" instead of "I".
I also have absolutely no life beyond work now. It sucks. I already hate the job... again. I am reminded, once again, what a shitty company Petsmart is to work for. They don't appreciate their employees at all... don't ever work for them.
I am awake, and bored.
