Hey guys-
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it tonight. I adopted a beautiful kitten on Thursday, with the plans my mom would watch him while I went to Virginia. This morning he woke me up vomiting and acting strangely. I took him to the vet and he had Feline Distemper, which is 99.9% fatal. I had to put him to sleep. I'm pretty distraught over it. He was a very sweet and loving cat and I'm very happy to have loved him even for a short time. But I'm a total wreck right now and I think I should stay home. Please have lots and lots of fun, and eat all the food I wouldn't be eating (which is a lot!).

*EDIT*I've changed my mind. I really don't want to sit on my butt all day, so I will be coming down. I feel more positive already with something to do. See you guys soon!
