Yes, that's right... I'm an animal hater

Today I opened up an email from a friend that had pictures of cats. They were all in really weird, unnatural positions. I almost lost my lunch it was so gross. I thought about posting a picture for you to see, but decided against it. Be very thankful.

CONFESSION: I hate cats. Now that I've said it, I can't stop there. I HATE ANIMALS. So sue me. Turn me into the animal rights activists. Blame it on Scott L. and Alison C. Hymas. As a child I begged for a puppy but they told me that pets were gross, and smelly, and that they would buy me a swing set instead. Swings and monkey bars were much more fun than any pet would ever be.
Over the years I've developed a callous heart. I have turned into the adult I despised. I'm a full-blooded pet hater. This means I can't marry a pet guy. I just don't think it could ever work. End of story.

This is one place where our opinions diverge my sweet. I love cats. I think it was my fear of being single forever that got me to warm up to the cuddly creatures. Now Mark thinks we need to get a dog after (or if) we get married. Let's just say I'm warming up to the idea.

I think it runs in the Hymas genes. My parents wouldn't get a pet until I BEGGED to get Ginger. We've never had one since then. I'm the same...and cats are completely disgusting.

Don't feel bad about being the only single one. I'm just an old married person that has no friends. I love reading your posts, you are hilarious.

Don't worry dearest cousin.. I do not feel bad that I'm the only single one left in the family... in fact I sort of revel in it. I'll probably stop getting attention once I get married... who would want that anyway?

Well, I can´t say I share your opinions on pets. However, I can relate to you on a certain level, because I hate monkeys. Yes, that´s right... MONKEYS. Now I know there are a lot of people who think monkeys are really funny, cute etc. And sure, when they are playing instruments and begging for money with a hat, it´s good entertainment. However, as a person who has lived in Asia, been bitten by a monkey, and had my sister bitten by monkeys several times, I can tell all of you that monkeys are punks! They gang up on you and try to bite at your ankles from behinds. And they´re not shy, either. If they think you have food, they´ll run right up your leg. Oh, and P.S. - monkeys are RACIST! That´s right, racist. They don´t like little white kids, especially blondes. You can quote me on that, too. I don´t know if they feel threatened more by little kids because they see them as more on their level (albino versions of themselves?), or just like to pick on weaker targets, but either way, it´s totally not cool. Monkeys can kiss my booty!!

There´s your comment, Andrea :) peace!

I'm just glad you felt brave enough to get this out in the open. And I wanted to let you know that I entirely agree... Even though I think you already knew that.
