st_aurafinaIn the living room, I saw something on the carpet. I picked it up, and was a little revolted to find that it was something meaty - I assumed the cats had dragged something out of their bowl and brought it into the living room. Never mind that they've never done that before. Then I turned the little meaty chunk over in my hand, (why would I even do that?), and then I was screaming.
Because the meaty chunk had eyes. Little beady mouse eyes.
I don't know what is more disgusting - that I was holding 10% of a mouse in my hand, or that there is 90% of a mouse somewhere in the house. I hope it's in a cat tummy, and that it remains there. *prays to small gods of housecleaning*
At the same time, while part of my brain was making the shrieking violin sounds of the shower scene in Psycho, another part was thinking "I wish people would put proper warnings and cut this stuff - if I'd known, I wouldn't have clicked." Because, you know, livejournal IS life.
Here's a really awesome meme, from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

THE DEFAULT ICON DRABBLE CHALLENGE
Write a drabble (100 words exactly) based on your current default icon. No changing it! Just write it as it comes; no beta-reading or mulling over. Any fandom or no fandom at all. Comment or link here.
Here's mine:
It coils in and around itself, unfolding only at the moment of replication.
It gives us: telepathy, telekinesis, optic force blasts and healing factor.
It gives us: war based on purity of blood, green eyes, and tousled black hair.
It gives us: Daleks, Time Lords, a million other unnamed races, and chavs.
It gives us: Clone Wars, twinned rebels, and a reason to turn from the Dark Side.
It gives us: two generations of demon-hunters, and a mysterious destiny.
It does not give us: beauty, brains or sexual orientation. These are things that you have to build on your own.
