But I had nightmares and EVERYTHING!!!
I mean, yeah, sure I had cheese before bedtime. And I watched a matrathon of scary movies as well. Really gory ones with, like violent deaths and enormous gouts of spraying blood. BUT THIS PICTURE IS WHAT DID IT!!! I'M SURE OF IT!!!
Incidentally, nice Photoshopping here - it's not too intrusive. I've seen images that were digitally tweaked and looked really unsightly for it. But not this one.

I do get nightmares from Cheese... but oddly very rarely get them when I watch scary movies. - or at least if I do they all happen at the start of the night when I'm in such a deep sleep I don't remember them by the time I wake up o.O
Had a nightmare last night.. not fun. :/
cheers for the compliment!

Most welcome!
You have to wonder about the cheese = nightmare thing. i mean... how do the mice cope? poor little critturs must be permanently scared outta their wits!

LOL ... yeah, no wonder they're so tense and nervous all the time
I don't think Mice dream y'know >.> .. I think rats do though, so the same would apply for them! o.O

Now, that's one of those statements that automatically makes me think 'how does she know?'
A bit like when people say 'sharks never sleep' or 'giraffes don't get nosebleeds'.

I didn't know sharks don't get nosebleeds
Well obviously we can't know for sure, but dreams in those animals that happen, occur during the REM (or rapid-eye-movement) state of sleep.. - certain animals (like mice, I think) don't have this state of sleep (they never sleep "deep enough") so science has taken it upon itself to assume that they therefore don't dream. - I don't have the knowledge to argue this fact so it seems to make sense that I should concede to their stipulations. \:]
- I've read a LOT about dreams... it's one of my obsessions

Heh! I'm just being my usual punk-ass spanner-in-the-works type agent of chaos here!
I get a huge amount of satisfaction from asking people who make such claims 'prove it!' - and the number of times I've seen a facade of expertise crumble in the blink of an eye... it's a beautiful thing to behold!
What's fascinating to me about this is that we used to have a pet budgerigar that REGULARLY used to wake us up in the early hours, shrieking and hurling himself around his cage. We could find no physical explanation for this at all. So we put it down to bad dreams.
Either that or the little crittur REALLY hated us!

Yes indeed. Poor little fella died about two years ago. I miss him a lot.
People don't get what awesome pets they are. They're clever - they can work things out. We even used to play that silly game where two people try to cut the end off each other's sentences when they speak to each other. To this day, I'm amazed that he could work that out. Amazing stuff.

yeah, people are very ignorant about rats too - they make amazing pets and are more intelligent than many people give them credit for - far better company than hamsters or gerbils imo!
My Father used to keep a parrot called Brian at one point, he was amazing company! used to answer the phone and everything!

I've heard it said that rats are full of personality!
One chap I knew had a parrot that was quite possibly the cleverest creature I'd ever encountered. It was notoriously bad tempered, and had a mean bite. This meant that it would be left with a bag of open parrot feed to pilfer whenever it was hungry.
Not only did the parrot exercise personal taste - it would NEVER eat red feed pellets - but it also learned through mimicry to say 'YUCK!' when it picked one up by mistake!
Our budgerigar used to mimic the telephone for a while. We put him off that by picking him up and answering into him. He soon got the message.

awwwh I have such a cute image in my head of him picking out the red ones then saying "yuck!" 
- I remember him biting my Father's eyebrow though, and left it with a permanent "nook" missing from it. - that's the only time I remember him biting. When they moved to Ireland they ran a restaurant and the bird wasn't allowed downstairs so he spent a lot of time in the apartment upstairs with the TV on for company, he therefore learnt a lot of phrases from the TV set, and would often shout "What's in the box!" - from that old game show!
Lol @ you answering your budgie

The bird in question was an African grey - the brainboxes of the parrot world. Well, out of the parrots you can buy and own as pets, at least. And he was anything but cute!
Incidentally, I wouldn't recommend using budgerigars as personal communication devices. The signal coverage is crap.

Nerk's big brother! (Or landlord or shop teacher or whatever.)
Ok, not really.

LOL! .. acutally drew this guy a fair few months before Nerk was even thought up.. but I guess it does go to show that I've been on a vampire stint for a while .. I think he'd make a fine nemesis for our green-skinned friend

He's such the antithesis of Nerk, it was the only thing I could think of once I saw those glowing eyes.
