With 955 characters for a signature, I can try make something funny or interesting but no, I'm just gonna sit here and type instead of going to work because breaking the fourth wall is more humour than trying to figure out how I'll get access to my other laptop; picking up my charger that I left at a friends house, around 40 miles away...

Good going Sparky, you did well. On the plus side, it's given you a chance to accidentally revisit some old stomping grounds and see what madness you can create during this seemingly temporarily return.

"Parents always think kids are wasting their youth, and always have done [so] down through the millennia," says Tom Forsyth of RAD Game Tools. "'That Ug, always holding things. His front paws will develop in funny ways. Why can't he walk on all fours like normal proto-hominids?' And so, whatever the kids spend the most time doing, that's always what parents think is a waste of time, and what is corrupting their lives. It doesn't matter what that is. If all they did was homework, parents would be worrying that their kids aren't becoming well-rounded people. And, in fact, parents do this - enrolling math nerds in karate classes and the like. There is no way to win - parental paranoia ensures that kids are always doing the wrong thing."

Number of Animals in the house: 2
Desired Reason: I absolutely LUV cats and dogs, my youngest pet, my mixed breed cat Sage we found under my grandparent's woodpile, he was abandoned and thank god my granddad found him, it was going to be sub zero temperatures the next day, he was a tiny kitten when we found him, now he's big and a bit chunky. I also Love golden retrievers, I have a female Golden, she's eight years old and she's a friendly dog. Daisy, my golden, was a birthday gift and I love my golden.
