hi, Random Girl here!

There were evidently freebles in the house this morning. Three of four cats went out, and Selena, all alone, decided that it would be fun to dash around the bottom floor, chirping to herself, chasing invisible things. I’m so used to her being mostly silent that it was really weird to be writing and hearing *meep meep chirrup* in the background.

Then she hopped up on the table to talk to me. I’d had yogurt for breakfast, and she requested some. I was in an amused mood and I'd had tea, so I put the empty yogurt container next to her, which she proceeded to sample leftovers from.

Unfortunately, I eat light yogurt, which has sugar substitute in it. So she tried it and then started doing the "ewww, icky" smacking thing that cats do when they eat something not to their liking. Then she glared balefully at me. My dairy products are inferior, according to her. She doesn't like 1% milk, nor light yogurt, and I’m not sharing the half and half that I use for my tea.

The rest of the cats came in, and evidently they *all* had freebles. There was much zipping around and meeping.

I keep meaning to write a long post about the commitment ceremony, and get around to looking at everyone's pictures of the day, and I really ought to get around to that this week sometime. I'm slowly getting used to the ring, which is quite the chunk of jewelry.

I have things that I want to do. Perhaps I should make a list of them, because it's now officially springtime which means it's time to go outdoors. I'm making no progress on editing, but I am writing quite a bit at the moment (after a pause for my Oblivion obsession, which has slacked off a bit).

Speaking of the Oblivion obsession, I finished the Mage's Guild quests and am trying to decide if I want to start in on the Fighter's Guild or the Thieves' Guild next. I almost got myself into the Dark Brotherhood by killing an NPC before he had a chance to say his piece (I was going to have to kill him anyway), but managed to get myself killed stupidly right afterwards. I didn't get to backstab him a second time, unfortunately.

(Also, note for the Oblivion-players among y'all: if you're going up against necromancers, the most useful spell you can have is a good long-lasting Mute spell. Especially in the couple of times you really have to go toe-to-toe with them. Mute's really nice for pulling a necromancer's teeth. Otherwise, they cast spells and summon critters and then run away.)

I finally beat the ogres, by the way. The difficulty slider's really useful.

In general, it's not a good idea to give adult cats dairy products, as it can contribute to the likelihood of urinary problems.

On the note of Oblivion (which i have your journal to thank for putting me on to) ive found the best way to deal with the necromancers is to sneak up (my character is half theif) and use the bow or alternatively to use my magestaff (my character is half mage, School of Destruction, Fire Magic). As to the guild quests the theives guild is good if you have alot of stealth. The fighters guild is good if you can kill things in any fashion.

Yeah, I'm a spellsword with a good invisibility spell and a good sneak rating, so I generally just sneak up on 'em. There is one at the end of the Mage's Guild quests who is more or less impossible to sneak up on, since the game forces you to let him speak his piece. That's the one that it's useful to carry a Mute spell for. Without his spells, he start attacking you with...an unenchanted silver dagger.

I was like, "we could stand here and do this all day, dude..."

I just finished the Dark Brotherhood and Mages Guild Quest Chains and now im moving on to the theives guild, ive got high sneak and i use the bow to take down most of the early mobs. I also found a helmet of life detection or something so i can see auras through walls. Means i dont acidently run into people :D.
