Hey, ever heard of Human Pets<\/a>?… If you haven’t, it’s a community which was born within the Facebook<\/a> network, where humans buy, sell, feed and pet other “human” pets (or themselves), and have a fun time being animals, lol. But because this is gonna be a weird multi-topic post, I’ll leave the “Human Pets” for last, haha.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First, as a follow-up to my Operation Woodstock<\/a> and Operation Rebox<\/a> posts with *interior* shots, here are some nice *exterior* shots of my home. Scientifically compared to my 80+ anime-figure collection<\/a>, the estimated value of my 2005 Nissan Murano is approx 400-500 anime figures (haha), while the value of my 3-bedroom home is approx 4000-5000 anime figures (wow). I say this, because with my upcoming home-reflooring (not selling after all), this year may possibly be the last year I can afford to purchase figures. As I said in a recent DannyChoo post<\/a>, “Waste your money *now*, because you might not be able to waste it *later*.” Believe me, I know. T_T;<\/p>\n

Below, on Friday, is my roommate Lisa’s pet “Guiness” and my metal pet “Jemma Chernaya”, haha. “Jemma” came from my friend’s name “Meg” reversed into “Gem” but with a J. Luckily, “Jemma” still means “gem or jewel” in Latin, lol. And “Chernaya” came from my friend Lena in Russia, where her nickname “Chernaya” is the Russian word for “black”. Put it all together, you get the “Black Jewel.” Something Lulu of Code Geass could be proud of, eh?<\/p>\n

Below, on Saturday, time to hand-wash<\/a> my car with a spray bottle of water and roll of paper towels. A great way to familiarize yourself with all the various parts and curves and joints (and scratches) of your car. Sure it takes longer, but you *know* your car’s little details significantly better *close-up* than car-washing them distantly from the comfort of your driver’s seat. But that’s just me, lol. ^_^;<\/p>\n

Now, back to Human Pets<\/a> (or HP)! Here’s an embarrassing photo of myself with a “Miko” sign on my chest, at her request. Miko-chan<\/a> is my current “Human Pets” master; thus I’m her human pet. Here’s my HP profile<\/a>. In fact, without warning, Miko-chan bought me away from my previous owner Jennie<\/a>, haha.<\/p>\n

Below, here’s a photo of my current owner-master Miko-chan<\/a> displaying her “Jay” sign, 1 of 7 signs she made for friends. While my animal avatar is a “crow” or “raven”, don’t ask me to explain her sign, lol. O.o;<\/p>\n

Lastly, here’s a recently-blonde photo of my previous owner-master Jennie<\/a>, lol. In fact, her formerly-blue hair inspired my Akiko<\/a> (Mirai’s tsundere rival) anime art, haha. Well, that’s it for now. Hope you enjoyed the thoroughly odd post. ^_^;<\/p>\n
