I cut my hair + I am a proud homeowner!
I got two big things to announce!! And they are....... Oh you already know from the title. LOL
Cant believe till this fucking day I'm still getting crazy comments from the previous blog entry, talking about how I'm jealous of Adele and how I put makeup too (? relevance?) and how I did plastic surgery. "Xiaxue you are just jealous because you can never win grammys!" - Not that I'd reject a fucking grammy if it's shoved in my face of course but wtf man... By that logic I should hate ALL past grammy winners, no? And don't say NEVER!! I'm still young! LOL
The thing I cannot stand the most is how people keep bleating about how she has "real talent". Excuse me? Know how to sing and write songs big fuck ah? Have you even seen Jay Chou fucking play two pianos at once, or seen me paint an awesome self portrait *ahem*??? Please, so many people have amazing talents. Even coming up with amazing styles like Lady Gaga is a talent, so stop saying Adele is soooooo super talented, like she is some rare commodity, ok?! I'm talented in photoshop, breaking eggs with no loose shell bits and plucking out large pieces of dandruff with my delicate fingers, does it mean Adele must be jealous of my talents?! NO RIGHT?
Anyway, enough of that sore topic!!
Today I wanna talk about myself!! ME ME ME ME ME!!
I cut my butt-length hair!!
Since a zillion years ago I've always wanted to have hair that's uber long. So I begin to not ever cut my hair... For about 4 years I never once even trimmed the ends or even allowed any hairstylists to go near me with a pair of scissors. I do cut my fringe, but even my fringe is cut by myself!!
Then one fine day I sat down on the toilet bowl and realised... In between my ass and the seat... is my hair. Not my ass hair, my head hair. I actually sat down on my fucking hair. I mean it's gross and all, but my point is that it's super long!
Having super long hair is a terror to maintain. Firstly, it's crazy tangled, combing is almost impossible, and so is brushing, unless you manually detangle the ends first. It takes up to 24 hours to thoroughly dry by itself. Conditioner is always running out. It keeps you so warm that if you are in Singapore without aircon, you almost always have to tie it up. Curling takes a thousand years. You accidentally whip people and they yell at you. It is super heavy and strenuous on the neck. You can't cuddle on the bed without it tangling in something.
And yet, I willingly, happily, tolerated all these because I always told myself... Don't cut! Maybe it will get longer and even prettier!! Maybe one day I can be the Guinness world record holder for longest bleached blonde hair! :D
Then... Kaykay dashed my dreams by telling me that not everybody can grow their hair till it reaches the ground.
Everyone has a limit. For example, most people have hair that can grow for say, 4 years, before it drops off your scalp, so 4 years' length is the maximum you can have. Other hairs break. Just like your eyebrows cannot grow beyond a certain length, neither can the hairs on your head.
And then I realised I have reached my personal maximum. That's it, it doesn't get better than this. I have had the same length for a year now. I've peaked.
And this is as good as it gets. I can never be that World Record Holder.
Doesn't matter, it's still pretty damn gorgeous.
As you all know I've been complaining about neckaches and arm pains since months ago. Till today it's still not solved. :( One day I decided maybe it's the freaking heavyass hair that is causing me pain, so I decided to cut it off. Afterall I've had really long hair for a long time now - it's time for a change!!
I wanted that loose, light, swinging hair feeling. No more tangles, no more super-heavy-during-washing hair! Fuck off split ends!!
So I went into my salon, Mosche, for the cut. Some pictures before it begin....
Well such long hair is kinda pointless since the ends can almost never be seen in photos...
My hairstylist was incredibly cavalier about cutting off my hair. She doesn't give two hoots that it has been a lifelong dream of mine to have really long hair or that I've grew it out for years... She cuts hair EVERYDAY!!
And to my surprise, I was quite nonchalant about it too. I mean, just a while ago before Kaykay dashed my dreams I still had nightmares about people cutting my hair short sneakily. And if you asked me a year ago whether I'd snip off half my hair length I'd be scandalised and yelling "NO WAY!"
I really thought I'd be sadder about this but I wasn't. It's scary how people can just change their minds like that, no? Loved my long hair so much... Suddenly super sure I didn't want it anymore. I can only pray Mike won't have the same reaction towards me in time to come.
There we go! Snip snip snip!! What's wrong with me? When my stylist was cutting I actually wanted her to go shorter and shorter....
p/s: My hair was so long that I had to cut it standing up.
To my surprise nobody else gave a shit that my hair is much shorter now except Cheesie, who said she couldn't believe I did it and that my previous hair was like a fairytale coz nobody else had hair that length (and healthy) when it's bleached. I told her Rapunzel probably had neckaches too and the fairytale is a lie!!
Ok I know it's actually not even that dramatically different and it is not THAT short either. But it's so much shorter than before!
Took a photo when I got home after I also got my roots done...
And then craziness seized me.
I ran my fingers through my hair... Because I told my stylist that I wanted the ends to be straight, she didn't do much layering. Thus, my naturally super thick hair STILL felt extra heavy. Cutting off half my length did not give me that light, breezy feeling that I was expecting. This was NOT what I wanted!
So I took a pair of scissors and went into the bathtub and cut SHITLOADS of hair away, sorta layering the hair myself.
I cut and cut and cut till I was happy with the lightness. The tufts of hair I cut off I threw into the toilet bowl until the whole bowl was pink. The length remained almost the same, but it was so much lighter!! :D
Then I went to KL and Cheesie brought me to Number76style, her salon in KL. The hairstylist there told me I did a terrible job cutting my own hair (lol, I honestly thought I did not bad), and trimmed it better for me. They also did some amazing hair treatment so if you are from KL, give them a visit. :D
Yes so that's my hair length now! I was actually considering going shorter, like shoulder or shorter... But Qiuqiu and Cheesie both told me to not be impulsive. Oh well.
Ok abruptly ending here about my hair. Also, it didn't fix the neckache although I must say I don't feel quite as strained now. Think I'm gonna go for an MRI.
Next.....
What is this?
The whole house-hunting process I didn't want to blog or tweet too much about it because I was afraid I will jinx it somehow. But now the papers are signed and the old owners have moved out and I HAVE THE KEYS!! It's mine!! Well Mike's too, but still, half is mine!!
(Mike says it technically belongs to the bank but ignore him, he is a spoilsport.)
We bought an executive apartment in Lorong Ah Soo (I find the name hilarious!) for about $523k with a cash above valuation of $35k.
(I did not choose the place so I can add a vote to the Aljunied GRC wtf, just a coincidence)
Not gonna show pictures of the house because it is ugly as hell. The previous owners were an old couple who decided to move into a smaller apartment because their kids didn't live with them anymore, and their furniture were all very old... They didn't even have kitchen cabinets! So I need extensive renovation! I am so excited!!
I already found an interior designer + contractor and he is awesome!! He gave many ideas on how to improve the house and here's what we decided for all the space we've got:
Wooot!! Obviously those marked in pink are the areas I'm most excited about... My princess room (aka an office) and Mike and I will both have our own toilets!
UPDATED: Some of you have asked about the entrance to the Princess Room. It's gonna be at the corridor, but I was too lazy to draw a door there! I'm surprised you guys even noticed lol
I've always wanted my own toilet so I can like have a pink bathtub and all. Plus I'm usurping the huge storeroom space for my walk-in wardrobe!! The excess storeroom crap can all be put in the guest room's wardrobe.:P
My ID Wayne already started looking for sponsors for me and so did Huiwen, my manager from Nuffnang. They are both so awesome and hardworking I'm gonna cry wtf coz some of the things we already found sponsors!!
But yes I'm still looking for RENOVATION SPONSORS!!!!!
So if you are interested or if you know a friend who provides the following, please let me know!! Of course I'd trade blog publicity for their services and goods. Their brands will also be featured on Guide to Life! :D
I need.....
Sponsors already found:
If you or your company is interested, please email me at xiaxue(at)gmail.com!!
For the next two months or so I'm gonna be blogging about renovation so I hope you guys won't be bored to death.

p/s: One new blog entry below this. :)
Advertorial
In case you are wondering why my title is so weird, it's because... this is the...
THIRD advertorial I did for Love More!!
You can read advert 1 and advert 2 here and here!
Love More is famous for their masks, which are wildly popular in Taiwan and Sexy Look range is the no. 1 selling 3D mask there.
For my first advert I blogged about the Love More Crystal Peptide Kiss Series Series (3D Duo Lifting mask). Phew that name is long lol.
Anyway the popular masks are back again!!
Love More Purple Crystal and Peptide Moisturizing Mask
And..
Love More Rose Crystal and Tourmaline Moisturizing Mask
Love More White Crystal and Platinum Whitening Mask
They are so pretty too!
And these masks are all special because...
They all come with a 3D ear hook for the 360 degrees lifting effect!
Awesome coz it can also firm up your neck, which is often neglected! And I don't know if it's my face that's fat or what but the mask is super tight on my face with no air pockets at all.
All the masks are peptide enriched.
Peptide is fondly referred to as "Botox without the pain" because it simulates the production of collagen, improves skin texture and restores elasticity, all while promoting natural healing and regeneration of skin cells by delivering copper into your skin! GOOD STUFF RIGHT?
The 3 masks all have different properties...
Rose Crystal regeneates your skin and fights aging by releasing collagen and elastin fibres. Best for maximum moisturization!
Purple Crystal energerizes your skin for a radiant look and it comes with Hyaluronic Acid and Subliskin. Specially formulated for a polished and radiant look!
White Crystal contains Colloidal Platinum, which moisturizes and protects, leaving skin healthy and bright. It's best for doubling the effect of whitening.
Ok to be honest I have no idea what the sciency terms are for the stuff that's inside the masks but I'm sure they are all good for our skin :D
If you think the idea of 3D masks are awesome there are some more of them from Sexy Look!
Sexy Look:
Super Hydrating Duo Lifting Mask
Pure White Radiance Duo Lifting Mask
Extreme Whitening Duo Lifting Mask
As usual just pick whatever is the most important for your skin before choosing one!
Super Hydrating: Rose extract and collagen to transform uneven skin to fairer skin, lighten dark spots, with visible lifting effect.
Pure White Radiance: Platinum, Lily and Peony extracts to improve skin elasticity, and promote cell rejuvenation
Extreme Whitening: Multi-whitening extracts with White truffles, Black Pearl and Barley. Fight against yellowish and uneven skin tones, diminish dark spots and soothe skin.
And the last series I'm gonna blog about is the CUTEST!!!!!! EVER!!!!1111

She makes me so happy!!
It's already 6am but I felt inspired to write a disgusting blog post about Igloo!!
Who knew bunnies could be so awesome? It has been a few months now that I've had Igloo and she makes me so happy I can't even... Compared to nasty Pumpkin**, I'm just so super grateful that this relationship turned out this way.
(**if you didn't know, bought a Yorkshire terrier, she didn't like me and I didn't like her, after 1 year of trying to love her, gave her away to responsible rich loving new owners, got scolded like mad by moralistic superior dog lovers who kept rubbing in my face how THEIR dog loves them.)
I bought Igloo because she was so freaking cute when she was a baby and I had a bout of maternal instincts insanity. I thought for the rest of her life she'd have to live in a cage like most of the pet bunnies I've seen people have.
But one fine day I thought to myself, "Hey, people have said that bunnies can be toilet trained so I'm just gonna give it a try."
So I just opened her kitty-litter-filled cage and shut my Princess room door to let her explore around. I wanted to monitor and see if she goes back to the cage to eliminate. She had no prior "training" other than the fact that she's always been doing her business in that cage since, well, she was locked up in it. So of course I was totally skeptical.
To my huge surprise hours passed and I see her occasionally hop back to the cage to eliminate. And then a day passed. No poop droppings outside her cage, NOT A SINGLE ONE. And bunnies poop A LOT.
I was so happy at that point I could almost die! Within a day, with no effort on my part whatsoever, I KNEW I could trust her. She could now have the whole room to roam around in, something I desperately wanted Pumpkin to be able to do but never accomplished.
I spent 1 whole year training Pumpkin, looking at her for hours on end, giving her treats when she goes back to the correct place to do her business, scolding her when she does it wrong.
I know irritating dog lovers will now tell me my training possibly sucked balls and how their dogs do it correct all the time.
But trust me, I tried every possible method. I used newspapers shrinking in surface area. I tried pee pads. I tried treats, I tried spankings (OH YES I DID DOG LOVERS, WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT THAT?), I tried stern voices, I tried pee sprays, I tried bringing her out frequently on walks, I tried spaying, I tried spending hundreds and hundreds on products and eventually even diapers... But the diapers have a hole for tails and her poop drops out of it... In the wrong places.
You have no idea how frustrating and stressful it is to let your dog out of her pen and just KNOW she is going to make a mistake. It's not so much the cleaning up, more of the disappointment. WHAT AM I DOING WRONGLY? At the end of the day Pumpkin went back to her pee pads to do her business about 80% of the time correct. This means, if I let her out of her pen, out of 5 times she pees/poops, once she will do it wrong.
I suspect that she is doing it just out of pure spite because she would actually LOOK at me with those hypocritical puppy eyes and spray pee on my carpet. She would then run away, scared, as she anticipates my tidal wave of fury. I wasn't ignoring her, so it wasn't for attention. Maybe she has her reasons but who knows? She's just an evil cunt from hell, I swear, sent here to test my patience and put a dent on my otherwise dandy life.
If she had other redeeming qualities it won't be so bad, I can still accept this flaw of hers but no... She is super hyperactive and never allows hugs or cuddles without nipping, struggling or loads of slobbery licks. Maybe some people like their dogs rambunctious but I hated it. I wanted a calm, cuddly pet. Not super charged up as if high on red bull all the time. She bites and destroys everything in her path even though she has a hundred toys (trust me I spoilt her). Even Kaykay who took care of her for me for a few days hated her. Mike too, hated her.
Worst of all she doesn't love me. Don't ask me how I know, I just do. And that's fine, because I didn't love her too. I had affection for her - afterall she is very cute and has her moments, but to call that 'love' is an insult to the real, unadulterated love people have for their pets who love them back.
But I've complained about all these before. This blog entry is not about Pumpkin the bitch, it's about Igloo.
So when people tell me how much their dog loves them, it always gets me so jealous. "What is wrong with me? Am I such a terrible human being that no animal can love me?" I wondered for the longest time, miserable. I wanted that relationship, and now......... I have it! I do, finally! There is nothing wrong with me afterall! Pumpkin and I were just not a good match.
(Also I think Nanolove loved me but she is a tiny hammie and it's harder to tell with a hammie.)
So yes after that day of allowing Igloo to go out of her cage, I've since went to the pet shop to buy fences and a smaller kitty litter pan for her, meant for cats.
When I'm sleeping or if I'm out, I fence up half of the room so she can't bite wires for hours on end and electrocute herself. She hasn't done that yet so far, but I don't want to take the risk. When I'm home, she gets the whole room. I even sometimes let her roam around the living room!!
Sometimes she hits under the daybed to snooze because bunnies like the dark.
Other times she sits close to me as I use the computer, like a dog would, just lying close or grooming herself.
Pumpkin never used to do that. She'd always escape out of sight and be destroying something in the living room or kitchen.
Sometimes she hops around, sniffing at stuff and standing up when curious. And when she is happy, she does binkies, which is truly a sight to behold.
When I call her, she hops over to my side. If I sit down on the floor, she comes close and snuggles, hoping I will scratch her ears.
Have you ever had a bunny put her front paws on your lap and look up at you before??
Whenever I am getting ready to go out and putting on makeup she squeezes right between my feet and lies there flat to sleep. I don't even want to go out anymore because I don't want to wake her up. ♥
If I'm using the computer for too long and ignoring her, she'd nudge my feet with her nose or paws.
She loves feet stroking lol
I love how easy her companionship is. I don't know how bunnies usually behave, but the fact that when she sees me near she comes quietly sit close to me is PERFECT. To me a dog's excitement is a bit too overzealous and annoying. Tail wagging is fine, but please don't stand up on my chest, lick nonstop, sprint around or bark and pant like mad. Too aloof is no good too - lying quietly down by my side is just the right balance. :)
She follows me as I leave the room and waits by the door when I come back. Not always, but often. I feel so looooooooved. So this is why people are so mad about their pets!
If I knew bunnies could be awesome I would have bought one long ago wtf. I suppose different species of animals suit different people, and my character/lifestyle is just more suited for buns?
Anyway, if you are thinking of buying a pet and don't know what sort of animal to get, here is why bunnies are like, the best pets ever:
1) They shit literally doesn't stink. It's dry pellets. Many of them, but not smelly. They also poop soft poop sometimes but they promptly eat those. It's in their nature because soft poop means it wasn't digested well and needs to go one more cycle. Fine by me, it's not like bunnies can have stinky breath so eat away! I don't have to clean it muahaha.
2) Their pee is smelly, not as bad as cats, but I don't know if the kitty litter I'm using is awesomesauce or what... After being absorbed by the litter it doesn't stink anymore!! I change the litter once every 2 or 3 days, which is super little work compared to cleaning up after dogs or even cats. Hammies are even better though, I cleaned Nanolove's pee pan once every week!
You don't ever have to bathe them. They are bathing themselves all the time!! Igloo always smells and feels clean. :D Being clean, of course, also affects how fastidious they are about their eliminating habits.
I remember the days of bathing Pumpkin and Cloudy and having to pluck bits of shit off their asshole stuck to the fur whenever I bathe them. URGHHHHHHHH. No more cleaning eye shit or assholes for me!
4) Bunnies don't really shed, unless you get an angora bunny or something similarly fluffy. Igloo's fur is very downy so when she drops hair, it just forms a fluffy hairball on the floor, which looks like lint. I actually wanted a cat but cats all shed a lot and I didn't want hairs all over my clothes all the time. I don't know how cat ladies with 20 cats deal with all the cat hair!!
5) Bunnies are so F-ing cute!! I suppose this is subjective. To be fair I think a lot of bunnies become quite ugly after they become adults, compared to how cute they were as a baby. I actually think Netherlands dwarf adults are not cute :X coz their faces are so long. Pick your poison!
But holland lops remain cute forever!! Ok fine this is subjective too. But who can honestly say that a bunny washing its ears or standing on hind legs is not cute?! Or when they sneeze or yawn... OMG. And bunnies are so soft and fluffy all over!
6) Bunnies do not make noise. No barking, no yowling. They are 100% quiet.
7) When dogs lick you: OMG FUCK OFF YOUR SALIVA IS SO WET AND IT STINKS.
When a cat licks you: OMG COOL YOUR TONGUE IS SO DRY AND PRICKLY AHAHAHA.
When a bunny licks you: OMGOMGOMG YOUR TONGUE IS SO TINY AND CUTE AND DARTY AND YOU LOVE ME!! AW I LOVE YOU TOO!!
*I might be a bit biased against dogs*
8) Bunnies can be trained. Perhaps you have seen youtube videos of bunnies doing competitive hurdles. They are very smart! At home, you can train you bun to come when called and stand on hind legs on command. My friend Rykiel who bought Igloo's sister actually trained her bunny stand up on hind legs to 'kiss' her on the cheek. Can anything be cuter?!
9) Bunnies are expressive too! Bunnies always appear so stoic but they have their little ways of showing affection, just like a dog wagging its tail or a cat purring. They do binkies when happy. When I first saw Igloo doing binkies I was so amazed I felt like I witnessed a leprechaun.
If you have won over your bun's love, he will groom you with licks, which will not be readily given to any stranger. When getting scratched/pet, they sometimes grind their teeth softly in contentment and close their eyes. But I guess cats win this category of showing love coz they knead your tummy fats with their paws which is super cute. Ok fine, a dog can wait around in train stations for 8 years for dead owners to return. But I'm just saying bunnies express love too!
10) Even their food is pleasant!! They eat dry pellets which are not smelly. Also hay, which smells super nice. And they nom on things like freaking roses wtf. Because I want to get veggies for Igloo to eat I also tend to cook more veggies for myself to eat, which is awesome. :)
Of course bunnies have their bad points too, and here are some:
1) Bunnies bite stuff.
Their idea of a fun time is to burrow in stuff, dig, and chew. So if you have a bored bunny it might start destroying your belongings. So far Igloo has plucked plaster off the wall and chewed on the rubber mat I bought her. So if you don't want your bunny destroying your stuff, the only way is to quarantine the items!
It's not so bad once you start realising they only bite certain items... Get them a cardboard box to tear up when they are bored and they will stop biting your things!
2) Fear of humans.
By nature bunnies are prey animals, which means that they tend to have trust issues. They probably will take longer to get used to humans than a dog or cat, but I never had any issues with Igloo because I got her when she was very young. But if your bunny doesn't trust you it might not want to be close to you or might even bite!! I'd advise you guys to get younger bunnies (try moomoopets, that's where I got igloo!) and if you have loads of patience or have a big enough heart then of course adopt one! Many people abandoned their bunnies and those deserve a second chance too.
3) Limited activities together
If your bunny is an indoor pet there is only so much you can do with it. Bunnies cannot go to the beach with you like a dog can, or ride in a car. You can bring them for a walk with a leash but they cannot be made to follow you, you have to let the leash slack and follow them as they hop around to explore.
4) They hate being off the ground
In the wild a bunny's instinct is to bolt when it's confronted with danger. Being lifted off the ground means they are trapped and cannot bolt when they are scared. This also means bunnies hate being carried by us and it makes them uneasy so they squirm and panic when we try. It's not impossible, you just have to have a very firm hold on them and make them feel more secure. When they are pet or stroked on the ground or couch or bed though, they love it.
But all these I don't mind because I love Igloo so much I sometimes feel like I'm gonna explode!! ♥
Ok ending this entry abruptly here.
She makes me so happy!!
It's already 6am but I felt inspired to write a disgusting blog post about Igloo!!
Who knew bunnies could be so awesome? It has been a few months now that I've had Igloo and she makes me so happy I can't even... Compared to nasty Pumpkin**, I'm just so super grateful that this relationship turned out this way.
(**if you didn't know, bought a Yorkshire terrier, she didn't like me and I didn't like her, after 1 year of trying to love her, gave her away to responsible rich loving new owners, got scolded like mad by moralistic superior dog lovers who kept rubbing in my face how THEIR dog loves them.)
I bought Igloo because she was so freaking cute when she was a baby and I had a bout of maternal instincts insanity. I thought for the rest of her life she'd have to live in a cage like most of the pet bunnies I've seen people have.
But one fine day I thought to myself, "Hey, people have said that bunnies can be toilet trained so I'm just gonna give it a try."
So I just opened her kitty-litter-filled cage and shut my Princess room door to let her explore around. I wanted to monitor and see if she goes back to the cage to eliminate. She had no prior "training" other than the fact that she's always been doing her business in that cage since, well, she was locked up in it. So of course I was totally skeptical.
To my huge surprise hours passed and I see her occasionally hop back to the cage to eliminate. And then a day passed. No poop droppings outside her cage, NOT A SINGLE ONE. And bunnies poop A LOT.
I was so happy at that point I could almost die! Within a day, with no effort on my part whatsoever, I KNEW I could trust her. She could now have the whole room to roam around in, something I desperately wanted Pumpkin to be able to do but never accomplished.
I spent 1 whole year training Pumpkin, looking at her for hours on end, giving her treats when she goes back to the correct place to do her business, scolding her when she does it wrong.
I know irritating dog lovers will now tell me my training possibly sucked balls and how their dogs do it correct all the time.
But trust me, I tried every possible method. I used newspapers shrinking in surface area. I tried pee pads. I tried treats, I tried spankings (OH YES I DID DOG LOVERS, WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT THAT?), I tried stern voices, I tried pee sprays, I tried bringing her out frequently on walks, I tried spaying, I tried spending hundreds and hundreds on products and eventually even diapers... But the diapers have a hole for tails and her poop drops out of it... In the wrong places.
You have no idea how frustrating and stressful it is to let your dog out of her pen and just KNOW she is going to make a mistake. It's not so much the cleaning up, more of the disappointment. WHAT AM I DOING WRONGLY? At the end of the day Pumpkin went back to her pee pads to do her business about 80% of the time correct. This means, if I let her out of her pen, out of 5 times she pees/poops, once she will do it wrong.
I suspect that she is doing it just out of pure spite because she would actually LOOK at me with those hypocritical puppy eyes and spray pee on my carpet. She would then run away, scared, as she anticipates my tidal wave of fury. I wasn't ignoring her, so it wasn't for attention. Maybe she has her reasons but who knows? She's just an evil cunt from hell, I swear, sent here to test my patience and put a dent on my otherwise dandy life.
If she had other redeeming qualities it won't be so bad, I can still accept this flaw of hers but no... She is super hyperactive and never allows hugs or cuddles without nipping, struggling or loads of slobbery licks. Maybe some people like their dogs rambunctious but I hated it. I wanted a calm, cuddly pet. Not super charged up as if high on red bull all the time. She bites and destroys everything in her path even though she has a hundred toys (trust me I spoilt her). Even Kaykay who took care of her for me for a few days hated her. Mike too, hated her.
Worst of all she doesn't love me. Don't ask me how I know, I just do. And that's fine, because I didn't love her too. I had affection for her - afterall she is very cute and has her moments, but to call that 'love' is an insult to the real, unadulterated love people have for their pets who love them back.
But I've complained about all these before. This blog entry is not about Pumpkin the bitch, it's about Igloo.
So when people tell me how much their dog loves them, it always gets me so jealous. "What is wrong with me? Am I such a terrible human being that no animal can love me?" I wondered for the longest time, miserable. I wanted that relationship, and now......... I have it! I do, finally! There is nothing wrong with me afterall! Pumpkin and I were just not a good match.
(Also I think Nanolove loved me but she is a tiny hammie and it's harder to tell with a hammie.)
So yes after that day of allowing Igloo to go out of her cage, I've since went to the pet shop to buy fences and a smaller kitty litter pan for her, meant for cats.
When I'm sleeping or if I'm out, I fence up half of the room so she can't bite wires for hours on end and electrocute herself. She hasn't done that yet so far, but I don't want to take the risk. When I'm home, she gets the whole room. I even sometimes let her roam around the living room!!
Sometimes she hits under the daybed to snooze because bunnies like the dark.
Other times she sits close to me as I use the computer, like a dog would, just lying close or grooming herself.
Pumpkin never used to do that. She'd always escape out of sight and be destroying something in the living room or kitchen.
Sometimes she hops around, sniffing at stuff and standing up when curious. And when she is happy, she does binkies, which is truly a sight to behold.
When I call her, she hops over to my side. If I sit down on the floor, she comes close and snuggles, hoping I will scratch her ears.
Have you ever had a bunny put her front paws on your lap and look up at you before??
Whenever I am getting ready to go out and putting on makeup she squeezes right between my feet and lies there flat to sleep. I don't even want to go out anymore because I don't want to wake her up. ♥
If I'm using the computer for too long and ignoring her, she'd nudge my feet with her nose or paws.
She loves feet stroking lol
I love how easy her companionship is. I don't know how bunnies usually behave, but the fact that when she sees me near she comes quietly sit close to me is PERFECT. To me a dog's excitement is a bit too overzealous and annoying. Tail wagging is fine, but please don't stand up on my chest, lick nonstop, sprint around or bark and pant like mad. Too aloof is no good too - lying quietly down by my side is just the right balance. :)
She follows me as I leave the room and waits by the door when I come back. Not always, but often. I feel so looooooooved. So this is why people are so mad about their pets!
If I knew bunnies could be awesome I would have bought one long ago wtf. I suppose different species of animals suit different people, and my character/lifestyle is just more suited for buns?
Anyway, if you are thinking of buying a pet and don't know what sort of animal to get, here is why bunnies are like, the best pets ever:
1) They shit literally doesn't stink. It's dry pellets. Many of them, but not smelly. They also poop soft poop sometimes but they promptly eat those. It's in their nature because soft poop means it wasn't digested well and needs to go one more cycle. Fine by me, it's not like bunnies can have stinky breath so eat away! I don't have to clean it muahaha.
2) Their pee is smelly, not as bad as cats, but I don't know if the kitty litter I'm using is awesomesauce or what... After being absorbed by the litter it doesn't stink anymore!! I change the litter once every 2 or 3 days, which is super little work compared to cleaning up after dogs or even cats. Hammies are even better though, I cleaned Nanolove's pee pan once every week!
You don't ever have to bathe them. They are bathing themselves all the time!! Igloo always smells and feels clean. :D Being clean, of course, also affects how fastidious they are about their eliminating habits.
I remember the days of bathing Pumpkin and Cloudy and having to pluck bits of shit off their asshole stuck to the fur whenever I bathe them. URGHHHHHHHH. No more cleaning eye shit or assholes for me!
4) Bunnies don't really shed, unless you get an angora bunny or something similarly fluffy. Igloo's fur is very downy so when she drops hair, it just forms a fluffy hairball on the floor, which looks like lint. I actually wanted a cat but cats all shed a lot and I didn't want hairs all over my clothes all the time. I don't know how cat ladies with 20 cats deal with all the cat hair!!
5) Bunnies are so F-ing cute!! I suppose this is subjective. To be fair I think a lot of bunnies become quite ugly after they become adults, compared to how cute they were as a baby. I actually think Netherlands dwarf adults are not cute :X coz their faces are so long. Pick your poison!
But holland lops remain cute forever!! Ok fine this is subjective too. But who can honestly say that a bunny washing its ears or standing on hind legs is not cute?! Or when they sneeze or yawn... OMG. And bunnies are so soft and fluffy all over!
6) Bunnies do not make noise. No barking, no yowling. They are 100% quiet.
7) When dogs lick you: OMG FUCK OFF YOUR SALIVA IS SO WET AND IT STINKS.
