Everything I own reminds me of something else.

Hey, she can be purple all she likes, it was more the idea of Laurie dying some unsuspecting housecat purple that was a problem. You know crazy Korean women get little white Maltese dogs and dye them odd colors. True story, it's fashionable. Figured I might need to smack Laurie around until she realized you do not dye your pets. The cat got really offended over me thinking she had an owner though.

Pbhhhht! Catseye is not purple! Catseye is a lovely shade of lavender!

From:

Yeah, and lavender is a lovely shade of purple.

Pastrami is purple. Are you saying Catseye looks the same colour as pastrami?

From:

Pastrami is more red than purple. You're the same color as eggplant, though. Not the same shade, but the same color. Also, while I'm totally cool with naked girls in my bed (or fur-covered as the case may be) comparing yourself to food just puts my brain in less than PG-rated places you may not want to be associated with.

She's a student, Smurfette. Maybe you should keep the sexual stuff to my journal instead of bringing students into your smutty mind?

From:

She's a student who crawled into my bed, sweet cheeks. It was a warning, not a pick up line. I do have at least more decorum than that (shocking, I know).

From:

Don't call me sweet cheeks. We've talked about this!
Yes you do have more decorum than that. I didn't know she'd crawled into your bed. That's kind of... wow. Did she... is she... I mean, should you tell the Xavier or something? Students hitting on teachers... we shouldn't be letting that happen, right?

From:

You were being very sweet cheecks-esque, though.

It wasn't that kind of crawling into bed with me. She was a cat, literally. She just wanted petting and some bedspace and apparently her own personal Morgan heater. Wow, that sounds a lot more inappropriate when I put it like that, doesn't it?

From:

Pretty inappropriate, yeah, but sadly enough I know you meant well. And I'm glad she likes you because if a cat showed up in my bed to shed fur all over me in the middle of the night, dropping it on my roommate would be the least painful thing I did to it.

From:

She bit me and I was going to go drop her on Laurie 'cause I assumed it was her cat and then POOF, the cat was a girl. That was odd. I'm glad I wasn't that awake at the time now that I think about it.

It's less creepy when you think about her as a cat and not a girl who turns into a cat. I like the cat version better anyway.

From:

Wait... purple hair? Girl and cat? It's beginning to make sense.
That girl's in my math class. Odd speech patterns.

From:

Yeah, that's the one. I think Angelo's got to have her for the hand to hand stuff because I'm pretty sure I don't. She talks like she's a moron but the cat seems kind of smart. Yes, I realize the contradiction going on in that statement.

From:

I thought that at first when I saw her, that someone had dyed her. I was wrong though. Thankfully.

And Easter with the baby chicks they dye different colors. That's not very good for them at all.

From:

I don't see the point in dying an animal. Seriously, do you see baby chicks and Maltese dogs and cats trying to dye us stupid colors? Or, you know, those of us not already colored anyway.

From:

Well I know that scientists use dye to track birds that they're trying to study and use it to learn about how feathers mature. Still doesn't make it completely right. But they're scientists and they know what they're doing. Not people who decide they want their pet to be pink for show.

From:

Yeah, but it serves an actual purpose when the scientists do it and I doubt they're trying to Easter egg-ify the bird, you know? People who dye their pets are probably the same people who carry them around in their purses. They should all be shot on principle.

From:

It doesn't sit well with me but shooting them might be too far.

Google tells me that this woman in Boulder was fined for dying her dog pink. And all those dogs look so sad.

From:

Put them on an island and then blow it up? Use them for the testing of nuclear weapons and/or biological weapons? Experimentation with cross-species organ implantation?

I'd be damn sad if someone dyed me pink, too. Well, I'd end up purple but that's not the point. No offense to pink people everywhere, but pink is not the color I'd want to be. I'd be pretty unhappy if you dyed me yellow, too. And aren't dogs colorblind anyway? All they'd know is you were torturing them and then cooing.

From:

Um. I didn't mean it like that. They seem a little too severe. Maybe?

Being pink isn't so bad. Really. I guess when you're born with it you adjust? I'm quite a nice shade from sitting out all summer.

Dogs are colorblind I believe, but they would be able to smell the dye? Dye smells bad (even the non-toxic stuff).

From:

We could try brainwashing or lobotomies instead if you'd like.

You were born pink? God, that's got to be loads better than just suddenly turning pink out of nowhere one day. Having your eyes turn red randomly? Not the most fun I've ever had.

Scent torture!

From:

Those might not be good ideas either?

Well a lot babies are born pink, I just stayed that way? It was kinda out of nowhere in a way. I guess I'm used to it, can't imagine not being pink, or changing colors.

From:

You're shooting holes in all my grand ideas here, kid.

I've changed colors. It comes with copying someone else's body, you get their color too. It's not so bad, really, especially when you can go back to your own color. Though that's only really true after you're used to the new color being your color. Until then it sucks.
