thejunipertreeI am the world's biggest sucker.
Today, one of the witchy group members called the Engineer and asked him if he knew anyone who'd like a rat. Specifically, a rat of the hairless variety. The Engineer, knowing what an obsessive dork I am, immediately thought of me and told the lady (I shall call her Lily, because she would like that) to bring the rats to tonight's meeting so I could meet them. Not thinking I'd actually immediately fall in love with them and practically cry right then and there because of how goddamn beautiful they all were.
So.
I was steadfast and firm. I was not coming home with a rattie. I don't really have the space for one. And I have so many free roaming mammals as is. I petted their backs with my fingers and scritched many ears and cooed over the curly whiskers.
Then, I made the biggest mistake.
I picked one up. The handsomest one with the white stripe down his nose.
Instant love.
I made a lot of the sad face and cuddled him. I whispered to him about how striking his ears were and how his curly whiskers were the best I'd seen. I repeated over and over "Hi! Hello little man! Hello!"
Yes.
I'm a dork.
I am also a dork who now has a hairless rat.
I named him Aardvark. Aardie, for short.
My mother is unaware of this development, as she was in bed when I got home. So, Aardie is upstairs, at the Engineer's apartment. Pictures to come later.
