All these posts just proves that it was the radiation.
By the way, I was ten.
It was the year after U2 released The Joshua Tree. It was the year that New Kids on the Block oozed onto the scene. I was in fifth grade with possibly the most evil human being as my teacher. I shit you negative. My DAD even ripped her a new one. I think he threatened to kick her ass. As I recall his exact words were, "If my daughter comes home crying again, I'm going to come up there, and you and I are going to go at it." This was an older lady too. I've never been so enamoured with my dad.
Rayne, you know I love you to pieces, but I don't think that snakes should be kept in captivity. I've worked in a pet store with boas and pythons. Every time I picked them up and let them settle onto my hand getting warm and looked into their little eyes... They seemed to say, "Please Ms. Human, let me go. Let me slither instead of being stuck in that fucking glass tank where greasy fingered children tap on the glass despite the fucking sign that specifically tells them not to do so. Please let me go so that I can warm in the sun at my leisure, crawl under the leaves if I get too hot, eat live mice instead of frozen dead baby mice. I don't like being held. I'm not a godamned dog or cat or bunny, although I really like bunnies, yum. Please!" When I look into their eyes, I see total and complete boredom.
I don't hold with people making pets out of reptiles, except maybe iguanas and turtles. They can actually develope a sort of relationship with their human companions. Snakes just don't give a fuck. You feed them, and their like "Food. Don't do me any favors, now. Get the fuck away from me."
