Landon's Evil Kat Horde
Behold the absolute epitome of my patheticness for I have made a page devoted to my cats. Bow down before me all losers of the world for I am your God.

Ok... so I go to the comic book store today to pick up some L5R stuff. Instead of usually doing my hit and run "buy cards, say 'hi' to the owner's son whom I went to school with and leave" I actually looked around the store. Talk about a mistake.
So I go to the back of the store and start looking at the (surprisesurprise) L5R RPG stuff when this chiming sound suddenly floods the store. At first I just figure its something coming from outside, but the sound starts coming closer and closer. I look about, wondering what the hell is going on. Then this girl suddenly pops up and says "hi". I ignore her and go back to reading "Way of the Ninja". She says "hi" again. I'm forced to respond likewise out of politeness, much to my own dismay. Seems she's the one causing all the chiming nonsense, since she's carrying a bunch of winchimes, which she proceeds to try and get me to buy for her youth group. I say I'm all but broke and appologize for not being able to help and go back to reading about how to become better dishonorable samurai-killing, celestial order-defying, Kolat scum. She asks if I could at least make a small donation. I again give the same "I like have no cash, sorry" spiel and resume losing honor. Then the girl, who I'm guessing was probably in her mid-teens, tries to strike up a conversation with me about role-playing games, asking me about Legend of the Five Rings and whatnot, pretending to actually know what she was talking about when she was clearly just pulling names off of the books she saw and trying to come off as if she knew what she was talking about. All the while I just keep on flipping through the book and nodding my head pretending to acknoledge her existence hoping to the Powers that Be that she move on to the next unsuspecting sap and leave me alone.Repeat this for about five minutes until she finally leaves me the hell alone and moves on to the back of the store where the goober Magic players, who deserve such torment moreso than anyone on the planet save for Yu Gi Oh Players, are sitting. So I make my way up to the front of the store to finally buy what I was after... and somehow she's made her way back up to the cash register and is harrassing the employees to buy her trinkets. Now I could have just been a jerk and bought my stuff right in front of her and laughed maniacally as I spend 13 bucks on L5R cards rather than donate money to her church youth group, and believe me I would have enjoyed it immensely, but I decide to play it nice and not gloat that I was being a lying, albeit politely lying, greedy bastard who wanted his cash to himself.
I'm so going to Hell for favoring L5R over church donations.
