I just spent about an hour and a half sitting outside of Jake's house around a fire with him and his mom. We were having a pretty good time, even though each of us was either almost caught on fire or nearly smoked out. While I was sitting by the fire, I decided to grab one of the kittens and bring it over to sit with us. I grabbed the little calico and brought her back over to the fire.
She was so cute. At first she was a little nervous, but she eventually warmed up enough to start purring really loud and she even rubbed her little face against mine. It was so adorable! So, I came home and was talking to Mom about the little cutie. I told her how I decided to name her "Artemis" because she was being very curious (sort-of like a hunter) and she's such a beautiful little kitty.
So, I've named her now, and that's probably a bad thing. Every time I get attached to one of the kittens out there, they usually don't make it or they end up disappearing. I really don't want that to happen to this one. Mom said that I should try to convince Dad that we need another cat. So, I'm thinking about asking them for this little kitten for my birthday. That's still a few months away, and if she makes it that long, then she'll probably be okay.
I've really been missing Missy lately, but mostly I've been missing having a cat to sleep with me at night. I can't remember any prolonged period of time where I've gone without having a cat in my bed that I've had to contort my body around, because Heaven forbid you make them uncomfortable! ;p
I really don't think that Salem will like the idea of bringing another cat into the house, but I really don't care. It's just something that he'll have to get used to. When the weather's warmer, he's not really inside all that much, anyways.
I know I shouldn't have named her because now I really want to bring her home with me! But, when I was talking to Mom, it sounded like I might have some hope of actually getting to adopt her. I told Mom that she's all I would ask for for my birthday. Mom said that as long as I agree to take on her medical responsibilities, I might actually have a chance of Dad agreeing to it. :D

Our semesters are normally 15 weeks. We have different options for summer sessions. We can take a 5-week class, and 8-week class, or a 15-week class. I'm taking a 5-week [the first five weeks, then another one the second set of five weeks] and an 8-week. So, I'm in school for a total of ten weeks this summer. =(
