The Further Adventures of Miss Kitten

I was a weird kid.
I’m sure my mother must have often wondered whether her daughter was truly normal.
I’ve always been a huge word nerd. (Isn’t it great how that rhymes?) When I was a child of about the age of seven – long before the Dawning of the Age of the Internet – my parents [...]

It’s been up there for a couple of weeks now.
I don’t know what exactly the thing is. From where I’m standing in my second floor apartment I’m more or less eye-level with it. Still it’s far enough away that I can’t identify it. All I know is that it’s fluffy and might resemble a cat [...]

Cigarettes – 0
Alcohol units -1 (one beer)
Weight – 77 kilos (yikes!!)
Okay, it’s time to get back into shape. My activity level has gone steadily downward and my weight has gone steadily upward since I arrived in Sweden about eighteen months ago. When I first arrived I was a rather slim 64 kilos (140 pounds), but [...]

Perhaps the title of this post is a gross understatement.
This week in my English classes we’re discussing so-called alternative beliefs..you know, ESP, UFOs, OBEs, and the entire alphabet of New Age dogma. Most of my students are pretty down to earth, but just about everyone has a story about something that happened to them that’s [...]

Mistress Kang tagged me to list five things you don’t know about me, or rather, that you used to not know about me.
1. I have never met my paternal grandmother.
2. I don’t have a driver’s license.
3. I have epilepsy.
4. I was sexually abused by my step-father from about the age of eleven until [...]

*Miss Kitten takes a few deep breaths and tries to calm herself*
I consider myself to be a reasonable and tolerant person. I appreciate the fact that internet-based communication, whether it’s email, instant messaging, posting on message boards, etc, is not the most formal of communication forms. People will choose to deliberately misspell words, ignore the [...]

The following article was posted over on The Local. The poster doesn’t list the original source or the author, so it’s a good guess that it was written by him (the poster) as some kind of college report or editorial. It’s somewhat academic in tone, and attempts to answer to question of why so many [...]

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before.
My boyfriend has his own webhost and he could have easily hosted my blog all this time. I’m free at last from the limitations of LiveJournal, having embraced the flexibility of WordPress. However, I’m not saying that LiveJournal sucks or anything like that. It’s very easy [...]

The briefest relationship I ever had (meaning boyfriend/girlfriend..not one night stands) took place during my freshman year in high school. Even with my excellent memory I can’t for the life of me remember his name. I do remember that he sat behind me in Mr. Thomas’ Social Studies class, and he was in a band. [...]
