lol @ all the fish stories. I was probably ten or eleven, and we were changing the water in the fish bowl and the fish flopped out of the net and onto the floor during transport, lmao...well you can probably guess what happened, yep. Crunch. No more fishie. Traumatized me for months, lol.

Also, I remember when I was probably about six or so, my uncle (who is less than two years older than I am, lol) decided to give the new litter of baby kittens a bath--outside, in the winter. Poor kitties. Froze to death. Every single one of them. I think there were five of them.

And then there was the time my brother (probably eight at the time) and his friend were shooting rocks with slingshots and oops...poor bird. lol, He cried for weeks he felt so bad about that.

I guess we're a family of murderers, too, lol.

I have done SOOOO many regrettable, stupid, humiliating things that it's not even funny. So, I'll just give a few FM-related ones.

First and foremost, the fact that I acted like a COMPLETE MORON when I met Stevie. She grabbed my hand when I wasn't looking - I was so shocked that I babbled "You took me hand! I didn't realize you were going to do that! That's so cool!" ::: CRINGE :: I finally realized I was making a fool of myself. I said "I know I sound stupid" and dropped her hand and started talking to Lindsey again. I'M SUCH A DWEEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another thing - I'm on a few FM listservs. On one of them, I was feeling a little crochety, and so after I read some e-mails I started writing an e-mail to myself which, among other things, dissed about half a dozen people on the listserv. Well, I accidentally sent it TO the listserv. I looked like a BIG FAT JERK, a petty mean person. I apologized profusely but I am still SO ashamed of it.

A third quick one: On my site, sometimes I put not-so-nice things about songs I transcribe that Lindsey and Stevie are involved with. Well, one time, I was contacted by one of the songwriters of the Malibooz, who said something to the effect of "I'm sorry you don't like my song. By the way, you have the lyrics all wrong. Here are the real ones." Once again, I looked not only like a moron, but a jerky one.

We are a family of murderers.

My mom did that to our fish when I was little. She bought this little heater to go in the aquarium, and she turned it up too high...then, fell asleep on the couch watching Dallas...the next morning, the aquarium was actually boiling over.

Oh, and my dad ran over our cocker spaniel. Maybe we're related :P

My aunt ran over my cat. Perhaps, we are related. LOL

aww...poor cat and cocker spaniel!! Did they die? Or were they just maimed?

No one in my family has killed anything other than fish or birds...at least not that I know of...

My grandpa used to sit on his back porch though and shoot a BB gun at stray cats (he was sick of the cats coming and peeing in his yard etc...) I'm sure the people at PETA would love him!!

Well, I did just kill my insect roomate. I'm taking an entemology class and we are required to keep an insect alive for three weeks, day two and I've killed my cricket Jiminy....sigh...so I've got to find another insect to keep alive...

Sugar, my calico cat, died from a burst bladder. She was one of the most beautiful animals I've ever seen...and she was a QUEEN. LOL

My aunt was late for church that night and I was on my roller skates in my neighbor's driveway, and here comes my aunt going WAY too fast down our street, my cat ran across to our house and she hit her. I keep thinking about what my mom said..."It could have been YOU, Christy. I miss Sugar, but I'm thankful it wasn't you."

Moral of story: SLOW THE FRICK DOWN PEOPLE!!!

LOL

aww....your aunt must have felt horrible though...did you ever watch that show Sisters on NBC? There was one episode where Teddy got all drunk and was driving home and hit her nephew...so yeah..at least she didn't hit you!!

I never had an animal die from being hit....all of ours have been with us until we had no choice but to put them down (except for the fish and one dog that was just mean so we got rid of it...)

No, she didn't really care. She got out of her car, went "OMG, what happened?" and I ran across the street to go find my cat who ran over our fence and into our backyard. She got back in her car and went to church.

I never got a call or an "I'm sorry".

OMG!! That's awful....well I'm sorry your cat died...like that makes it anybetter....how old were you again?

My gosh...if I ever harmed my nephew's pets accidentally I'd feel SO awful....they've had a goldfish that has now been alive for three years!!! The thing is huge and every time they go out of town and I have to feed it I'm terrified that it will die lol...I just don't want to upset my nephew...anyway...that really sucks!

Oh man, I guess 9 or 10, probably 10. My other cat, Pepper disappeared after she died, not the next day or anything. We went to visit my grandmother one day and he kept going to lay in the street (dumb cat. LOL) and I was worried he'd get run over. I didn't wanna leave home, but we did anyways, when we got home, he was gone. Don't know what happened to him.

It's weird because I'm allergic to cats now, I wasn't back then. I cannot be around them, my eyes water and itch and my throat gets itchy and closes up.

Nothing worse than a suicidal cat

I am SO allergic to cats as well...so I've never been a huge fan, though all of the people I house/pet sit for have cats...so I just take a lot of Alavert....anyway...this seems to have turned into an animal death thread...haha
