07:26:00 <@mstyne> blleeeaarrghhh
07:55:19 <@demon_> amen
07:57:34 <@mstyne> wanna know what I woke up to this morning
07:57:51 <@mstyne> "MEEEEROOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWNGGGGGG!!"
07:58:13 <@mstyne> which, apparently, is the noise a cat makes when its tail is caught in a door
07:58:20 <@demon_> yikes
07:58:58 <@mstyne> somehow, for the past year, I've been able to leave the apartment in the morning without disturbing Erin in the slightest
07:59:19 <@mstyne> she's been leaving before me now for two days and I haven't slept past 6:30am
07:59:56 <@mstyne> I'm gonna have to put the kibosh on that or I'll be crankier than usual
08:06:54 <@demon_> so she's busy doing things like catching the cat's tail in the door as she makes her way out, eh?
08:07:03 <@mstyne> and swearing
08:07:08 <@mstyne> oh, the swearing
08:07:12 <@demon_> hah
08:07:16 <@demon_> like a sailor?
08:07:21 <@mstyne> so she runs out the door to catch the cat
08:07:48 <@mstyne> and out in the hallway, at 7:00 in the morning, I hear her shriek
08:07:55 <@mstyne> MOTHERFUCKING SON OF A BITCH
08:08:05 <@demon_> haha
08:08:34 <@mstyne> so I get out of bed, go down a couple flights of stairs, see the cat, pick up the cat, and retreat to the apartment
08:08:46 <@mstyne> she apologizes, grabs her stuff, and leaves
08:09:01 <@mstyne> I stood there, looking at the cat, and said "Well, I'm up."

re: In my defense

Listen, you've only heard half the story. First of all, I do wake up in the morning when Mike leaves. I can just fall asleep again whereas Mike cannot. As far as the cat incident, let's talk about how it was the first day of school and I'm going to be alone, so I'm *quite* nervous. So I get out of the apartment and realize I've forgotten my coffee. So I unlock the door and re-enter the apartment, with 3 bags ( my best buy clothes, lesson plans and purse ) and slam the door shut. The cat was nowhere to be found. As I walk towards the counter to get my coffee, I hear this horrendous yowl, and see 2 inches of tail stuck in the door. Then suddenly, the tail is gone. I drop my three bags and run out into the hall in heels. I run and the cat runs down three flights of stairs, down the hall, up two flights of stairs and stops when he sees Mike. Who wouldn't curse at that? C'mon man, cut me some slack.
