Did you murder somone? (I'llhelphidingthebody)

Oh man, I wish that was the case...No, I had to mercy kill a mouse. And now I’ll put the rest behind a read more, because I don’t want people to get uncomfortable. Since I’ll ramble about my view on killing animals and stuff. Sorry, I need to get it out of my head.

Okay, so. I’ve been having a bit of a mouse problem, they get in through some vents and chew holes in my trash bags and poop everywhere. So I had to ask the landlord for a trap.

The first mouse... The trap didn’t hit it ”right”, so when I went to take it out and bury it, it was still alive. And since the landlord wasn’t home, I had to do something. Since I couldn’t just leave it there to slowly suffocate. I won’t say any more details, besides that I buried it with some food and a promise to make it up to it one day. I did the same for the second mouse, which died upon impact.

Now I can hear vegans and others ask “but why do you care, you eat meat!” And that is true, I do eat meat, I have a bolognese cooling on the stove. But I don’t condone needless, cruel killing.

Here’s the thing. I pretty much only buy meat when it’s about to expire, one because it’s cheap and two, because I don’t want it to be thrown away. Those animals deserve more respect than that. In my opinion, if we humans must insist on being omnivores that eat meat, we should use every part of the animal. We should treat them well while they live, and honor them in death.

I mean, in nature no part of an animal goes to waste. Even the bones are cracked and the marrow consumed by the craftiest ones. And I guess that’s part of why I don’t mind glue made from animal bones. It should be used, the death should have meaning.

And that ties back to why I feel terrible having to end a mouse’s life: It had little meaning. I wish I could use the body somehow, give it purpose, like I ate the fish I’d caught and killed in the past. Make it part of the cycle.

But I did what I could. I lit my most important candle for them, and I certainly didn’t kill for joy. If anyone knows a way to keep mice away without harming them... Please tell me. Also if you know a good meat substitute beside quorn and beans, which I can’t eat.

None of my plates broke either! Go us!!

Oh man, I hope I didn’t jinx the move now. :’D

I packed them pretty safely in the huge cover Beast bought this winter, so hopefully they’ll be fine. What I was referring to earlier was none of the big ones having broken while being borrowed by others, since I kept them in the shared kitchen. But soon... Soon I’ll have my own one.

Oh my gosh you're renting a little HOUSE?? That sounds adorable! And thank yoooou, we'll be moving in a few weeks and Mig's doing great at his job! ;; V ;; We're so relieved

I’m so, so happy for you! Seriously, you’ve both worked so hard for this. And yes, it’s one room and a kitchen, 28 kvm. With a little place to sit outdoors, where I’ll be drying and growing herbs.

I’m so happy, even if the emotional roller coaster has all but knocked me out so badly that I collapsed earlier. :’D

louchan replied to your post: So many good things are happening that I can...

It’s like 2017 is finally making up for 2016 ��

YES

2016:

Quit an internship that was fucking crazy, going from nice to borderline abusive in accusations and hours

Sharing space with people who won’t fucking clean after themselves

Just a mess besides seeing Beast and visiting the states (before the election)

2017:

Got an internship at a nice flower shop

Got financial aid figured out

Got a JOB at said flower shop

Got an apartment, or well, actually renting a little house within walking distance of the job!!

Beast will visit in August

It’s not even June

Holy shit. Of course I’m sad about some things this year, but wow. Wowowow, I’m 25 and things are finally working out, maybe?

Also I’m so happy for yours and Mig’s sake!!

no offense but it might be ancient animal poop that either formed that way naturally or that some person took up and decided to polish… (source: that one episode if mythbusters where they try polishing turds) idk

None taken, now I kinda hope it’s either ancient animal poop or a meteorite. Or a meteorite of ancient alien poop.

I’m looking for help with identifying my stone. It almost looks like a meteorite, but I doubt it is one.
