destiny?

so i never realized that i was an "animal lover". amy told me this factoid about myself today. granted i do comment on every single dog here [which is probably about 10 per day] and i do love my dog, we did adopt a kitten for our college apartment, and i try to hang out with horses.

BUT that doesn't put me in the "she is going to live alone with her animals in 20 years" category, right? wrong. today just made my future more clear to me and OH what a bleak future is it! we decided to visit the hot springs today and use the tickets one of our tutoring subjects had so generously given me. we get out of the bus, look around, and realize we have gotten ourselves to some sort of zoo. maybe most college aged kids would be deterred? not me. i was so excited to see chinese-speaking [yes, animals speak different languages] ducks, monkies, and birds. and even better-we got to rent this sweet ride and even do some minor offroading in it

we did figured out how to get to the hot springs but then got rained on. don't worry, we got a few dips in, some leisure reading, and on top of all that...got to wear swim caps!

and we got a peek inside childhood obesity hitting asia. or just my future children if i marry a taiwanese man? HAH. the rain turned off any chances that we might have at swimming more so we headed to the zoo and that is when i knew=i am destined to have more animals that my children will probably want. does that ever happen? amy caught me trying to kiss two animals including this mite-infested camel (he just needs some love) and this satan goat. he seriously looked just like the devil. and then we saw some ostriches whose faces only a mother could love. and yet i loved him. even though i am pretty sure he was trying to eat us [clearly misunderstood]

am i destined to be a cat [dog/horse/camel] lady? yes. and i am going to love it the whole time. take that!


oh and as for yesterday----poor legs. amy said it all too well [check out the link]
