My bird Tiffany the cockateil died last night. My daughter found her this afternoon.
I've had that bird for about ten years. She's been a part of my life, chirping every day when I get up, and now she's gone.
Fuck.

That bird was a very real part of my family, and was with me through some very hard times. I've been shedding a lot of tears this afternoon. I keep thinking that I should have looked in on her closer when she was so quiet last night...

My house is going to see a lot quieter without that silly little bird.

You never think of a bird as having a personality, until you get to really know one. Tiffany has a definite presence, and silly little habits that I loved. And she knew who I was, and was bonded to me.
I gotta say, it's a lot of pain to lose her.

It'll never be enough to take the memories away.
Pssst, you're supposed to feed me the line 'really?' so I can give the punchline, 'no, but I've heard you can get it from a cockatoo'

Monty's sister just uses the black gang rape as a cover for her secret exotic bird fetish.
Fuck's sake, that'll be me banned again, why can't I just shut up, eh?
(, Wed 26 May 2010, 19:58, Reply)
I actually have a great deal of respect for Monty, and although I've never spoken to her, his sister too. I could never even possibly begin to imagine the sheer horror of what the poor woman's been through, and I genuinely feel for her.
Yesterday when I joked about taking her out I was actually being serious, but because I'm such a massive dickhead it came across like I was taking the piss.
Why would I want to meet her? Because I am such an enormous tool, and incredulous plank that I believe meeting someone who I'm sure must have an extraordinarily good nature, and who has been, and is still going through a terrible ordeal, would be just the reality-checking kick up the backside that a total arsehole like me needs.
So apologies again, Monty. I mean no offence but I say incredibly inappropriate things because it's how I deal with anything I don't understand. I'll gladly provide you with my home address if you'd like to give me a good battering

I might be able to get Monty to laugh about it, maybe only for one shocked, disgusted moment, and he'll hate me for it, but it won't stop me trying. -and he can always put me on ignore

Abstract concepts of rape are tolerable but not when it's close to home.
(, Wed 26 May 2010, 20:23, Reply)
I just noticed your edit, so it's ok to joke about rape as long as it isn't somebody you know?
Throughout my life, any time that something bad has happened to me or somebody I care about, I make the most inappropriate jokes about it possible.
It's bad taste, but you'd be surprised how often it has paid off. I won't make any excuses, I've apologised to Monty and will continue doing as I please until somebody stops me

These past two times you've been back it's the same horrible cycle of self-destruction and attention-seeking. I still hold out some hope that maybe, just maybe, you'll be funny again.
(, Wed 26 May 2010, 20:30, Reply)
I have no reason to be here. I'm not likely to ever be funny so you're best off just clicking ignore now.
As for self-destruction, hell yeah! That's what I'm all about, baby

You're alright, Noel.
I'm out of order and you're correct about me not being funny. I'd leave again now, but something's keeping me here, I just don't know what

That almost sounded like you were defending me, Becks.
The fact is that OT is more of a chatroom than a humour forum on a sick joke website, not that I'm complaining, but you know... I'm sure I had a point a minute ago, but I lost it

You came along and wiped HSH threads out while hardly trying, but if you look at the first few pages of OT, who was it starting all the HSH threads.....?

sad times. I wept uncontrollably for about two weeks when my cat died, even though I kept trying to rationalise: 'it's just a cat!'. Nope. Still sobbed like a ginger stepkid.

Animals become part of your family, sometimes closer than your siblings. "Just a cat" denotes to me a complete lack of a soul in the person who truly means it. They may be small and furry, but they're people too.
We have to mourn our pets just as much as we mourn our human friends.
