I have a son now! He's the perfect little guy! He eats all my leftover snacks! And he'll eat anything! He took a bite out of a pan!
Yeah it sounds like I'm complaining but like, genuinely, no, I love this little guy. I have no idea what he is but he's great. Aside from the fact that he doesn't sleep and when I sleep on the couch I'm pretty sure he stands there breathing right in my ear.
Whatever. He likes watching cooking shows. Specifically Dining Delusions. Look how much fun he's having.
I don't miss my dad. That might sound mean of me but... the more I have this little freak around... the more it just sinks in. Sure, this is a little critter that can eat anything and is generally super low maintenance aside from being slightly uncanny... but still. It's nice to me. We get along. I wanna take care of it, sort of inherently? I'm not good but... man, at least I'll say 'hi' to it when it comes back in through the door. It's just... was I that difficult to deal with? Or was it that he didn't want to put in the work...
So, good news, got to move into a place. Dad is... out of town... indefinitely...
So I've got the apartment to myself. Cleaning it all out was a bitch, though. I did ask Gary if he could lend any furniture from his pad up above the Cold Subject, and he was like "Well, maybe I'm also tired of not having a real place", so uh! I've also got a roommate now! He gets the bedroom, I get the couch. Some of you might think that's a little unfair but fight me, the couch is really comfortable once you get all the crumbs out of it.
Hey! Look at this cool rock I found!
Oops.
Oh, hell yeah, he went to the bar! So now I can just plug this in real quick...
Okay, so it took forever but I stole an adapter and I think I've gotten the ANRA hooked up to my TV.
Gonna give it for a spin later when my dad's out of the apartment. Hell of a day for him to have a day off. All he does is watch game show reruns anyway, but I ain't about to challenge him for the TV. Still need a place to sleep, after all...
UGH I am. SO BORED.
Anyway, I skipped class to go to Cold Subject. They didn't have anything I wanted. So I just kinda... wandered around outside of the mall and some back alleys. And anyway, I found this kinda rundown old electronics store with a bargain bin. Like, old DS cartridges and stuff. Annnnnyway, I found this knockoff system for like, SUPER cheap (like maybe 20 bucks?), with all the games preloaded on. Took me a minute to figure out what it was called, since all the letters are worn off the side.
I think it's an 'ANRA' or something like that, but it doesn't really ring a bell...
Anyway it's called "Your Eternal"
My dad used to threaten me when I got in trouble. That he'd take me back there and let the guy in a mouse costume chase me around. Wouldn't have put it past him, either. He probably would've been happy just to chuck me in the ball pit and drive off. Bastard.
Hey, is that where I got the fear of rats?
