Dear Sharks...

Dear sharks,

Let me begin by saying I'm sorry the entire blogosphere spent last week bashing you. It's not your fault Discovery gave you your own week! Actually, the attention doesn't help you at all; you're portrayed as vicious man-eating creatures. Not the case.

I'm here to let you know that not every blogger hates you. In fact, some of us (me) really like you! I even have shark shoes.

I've always been a shark fan and I always will be. Someday I'd like to swim with you guys, particularly the giant and beautiful whale shark.

Breathtaking.

I do my best to let people know about the problems facing you guys: shark finning, bycatch, global warming and more. I'm an environmentalist, an animal-lover, and a wannabe marine biologist. I promise to keep fighting for you.

Some people find it weird that I think you guys are cute, especially the Basking Shark. Look at his adorable wide open mouth! I even have lots of cuddly sharks at home:

Aww.

I could go on and on about how un-scary you are in real life, how important you are to ocean ecosystems, and how few shark attacks there have been. But I believe I've already made my point.

I love sharks more than I love tigers.

I guess that's the end of my letter, sharks. You now know that you have a friend in this bloggy world and she thinks you're awesome.

Love,
Taylor

Meet the Double Ds

I have two new roomates. Observe:
Guinea pigs!! The black/brown one is names Daffy and the mostly-white one is named Daisy. Hence 'The Double Ds'. Clever, I know.

Tell me what you think about them. DB thought they were creepy when he first met the lil guys. Maybe you have to be a rodent person? You tell me.

High Hopes and Squirrels

I'm playing Pink Floyd off my laptop right now. I'm sitting next to my window in my room.
And a fucking squirrel just came up to me. Well, to the window which is right next to me.
Like, right-right next to it.
My room is in the basement, so the bottom of the window is level with the ground.

Pink Floyd attracts rodent-y wildlife!
I am not making this up.

A real post will be coming soon. But not today. I'm hitting up some grad parties and a festival with DB. I may see my Christian Neighbor (CN), so I'm looking reeeal sexy.
