that lived in the creekbed

Snakes get irritable when they shed their skins. The muscles are all tight in the old one but the new one is going to be tender for a while and they just don't like it, the television tells me. So I must be shedding.

Pet Peeve Number One: Being accused of being angry when I'm not angry and then not being believed when I assert that I'm not angry. THEN I'm angry.

Pet Peeve Number Two: Having to hang out and act like I'm not angry so that I can prove that I wasn't angry back before you didn't believe me.

Oh man, if you pick me up, I am going to bite your ass. I am going to inject you with poison from my awesome hypodermic-needle-like fangs. If you call me snakeykins one more time I'm going to wrap myself around your head and squeeze till your hair falls out. I wasn't even hungry before, but my jaw is coming fucking UNHINGED.

The most dangerous ones are the ones that DON'T rear up and rattle before they strike.

What was it Douglas Adam's related in that tape Stephen played Sunday night? Something to the effect of, "If you don't want to get bitten in the ass by deadly venomous snakes -- don't go where they are!"

Or something like that.

Like my dad said, don't pee in the bushes at night, snakes don't like salty rain. :))

Why do people do that? Not the poison needle thing, but the insisting you're in a bad mood when you aren't? Happens to me all the time.

Random guy: You look kinda pissed, Tom.
Me (feeling perfectly not pissed): No, I'm feeling okay.
Random guy: Really? Cuz you look pissed to me.
Me: Nope, really not pissed.
Random guy: It's okay to admit you're pissed.
Me: If I were pissed, I'd admit it. But I'm not... or I wasn't.
Random guy: Wasn't?
Me: Well, I'm kinda pissed now.
Random guy: Told you that you were pissed.

Story of my life. Kinda glad I don't have fangs. Biting people is frowned upon, and I'd have done it by now if I had fangs.
