My Shnookums

I got a hamster! I still find it hard to believe that my mom would actually agree, but she did. It’s a male dwarf hamster, very tiny, and very cute. I was having trouble coming up with a name, but eventually me (and my friends) agreed on Timmy (named after this really cute guy I used to know…haha), but I prefer to call him shnookums.
However, my dad is NOT pleased at all, as he thinks I’m irresponsible and I’ll probably make my mom do all the cleaning. He was willing to bet in 3 weeks time, I’ll lose interest in Timmy. Now that just pisses me off. What kind of parent thinks so negatively about their child? Yeah, I used to be like that, but how will you know I haven’t changed if you won’t give me the chance to prove it?

Remember that homework my Economics teacher gave during the Thanksgiving break? Well, I found out I got a D on it, and now I just loathe her even more. It’s bad enough she gave homework over the holidays, and a hard one too, but she actually graded it and gave a D? I think I’m going to add her to my blacklist some day.

Going shopping with Jin on Friday. Actually, not so much shopping for me as looking for a part-time job. That substitute teacher position at JRP is still in the air, so I think I’m going to check out positions at The Limited or Limited Too. Wish me luck!

That’s awesome! You got a hamster! Timmy’s a sweet name. Yea, add her to the blacklist! I read the threaded comments! I find your replies to be real sweet.

Oooh, your new hamster Timmy sounds so cute. Schnookums? XD That’s awesome. Parents are always like that, don’t let it get to you, just show them that you’re not like that anymore. *pats*

Wow, that teacher of yours seems like a total witch. I can’t believe she’d do that to you. Blacklist her! XD I love that you have a blacklist. It’s so awesome. ^__^;;

Oooh, shopping and jobs sound awesome. Good mix since one funds the other. Good luck on getting a job!!

I always read the replies to the comment. ^^;; I used to do that so I know that it’s really time consuming, but know that I completely appreciate it. If you don’t have time to do it though, I seriously don’t blame you. ^^;;

Sanjana on December 8th, 2006 at 8:49 am

Aww…so cute I’m not a big fan of keeping pets and I’m sure you’ll take good care of him. And hey…there’s nothing quite like proving a point to your dad is there?

Jeannie on December 8th, 2006 at 9:45 am

A D isn’t so bad, it’s not the end of the world is it?

Soooo cute you got a hamster, I can understand your dads point of view….ALLLOOOOTTT of people do get pets but then it’s their parents who end up looking after them, if he isn’t a huge pet fan he’s probably just really annoyed at the idea he might have to become it’s carer.

Prove him wrong though and all is good

erin on December 8th, 2006 at 3:04 pm

i’ve never had a hamster. hopefully your dad will give you a chance to prove you can care for it.

Melanie on December 8th, 2006 at 8:07 pm

Yay a hamster Cute ! Hehe, my parents also said that to me when I wanted a dog. x_x; But they gave in eventually.

Wow. Evil teacher. Was there any comments or critisms to why you got a D? x_x

Hamsters are fun. My ex had a hamster, we named him “Dinner.” Imagine the hilarity!

rora.* on December 11th, 2006 at 12:56 pm

congrads on the pet! but youve gotta really keep it clean bc god those little things smell. my brother had a ferret and it would shake the cage if he didnt clean it lol ♥

Charity on December 11th, 2006 at 2:20 pm

Awwww, Timmy sounds adorable! My brother & sister-in-law were that way with my niece. They said she was irresponsible, but yet they would never give her any responsibility to see if she’d changed or not. bleh.

melle on December 13th, 2006 at 9:20 pm

Kaisa on December 14th, 2006 at 3:35 pm

Aww, a hamster! I wanted one when I was a kid but my parents wouldn’t let me have one

Have fun shopping

Unbi on December 15th, 2006 at 11:19 pm

I could never have a pet. At least, not anymore… XP
My parents are far too mean XD

Treat your hamster like gold! XD Well, take care of it XP

Blacklists… that’s really cool that you have a blacklist XD So unique but freaky at the same time.

janelle on December 16th, 2006 at 6:50 am

hi shao!

wow you have a blacklist? just like the one in mean girls? haha!

oh a hamster. i also want one, but only a stuffed toy. i can’t take care of pets. yes, i do love them but i hate responsibilities. and having one means an additional responsibility to me.

i know you’re not what you’re dad thinks. prove him that he’s not right, that your love for your hamster will not fade. haha! go on and prove him and get his bucks.. LOL

take care!
xoxo

Hamsters are adorable. I don’t think I could stand having another mouse-type of pet though.

Your story reminded me of when I was 12 and I bought gerbils. My Dad told me the same thing, and I was so defiant and said I would do everything and it ended up that my Mom had to do everything.

I come back to read comment replies, but that’s probably only because I answer them on my site too. Heh.

I was wondering how many people actually come back to read comments when I answer them, too. I was thinking the number was around 1 to 0.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Talk to you soon!

azreen on December 28th, 2006 at 2:28 pm

Congratulations on getting your new pet! I really can’t wait for you to you to prove your father wrong and show how responsible you really are. It gets really irritating when people make assumptions of what you’ll do, as if they no you so well. It’s really terrible that the economics teacher would be that harsh, it’s only right that she goes into your blacklist. good luck with the positions at the limited!
