Hamster! Squee!!
Hannah, Charlotte and I have made possibly the worst/best decision of our young adult lives: we plan to get a dorm hamster. We will all contribute to costs, Hannah and Charlotte will take it in turns to have the hamster in their rooms and clean it and feed it, (I refuse to put any effort into this at all), and Hannah will have it in future years when Charlotte and I return to England. Names suggested for the hamster so far: Huckleberry, Abraham, and Dave. Countdown to purchase of the hamster: T-minus four days. This could be a terrible idea, and of course I will have to look after the rodent over the Christmas break. I'll keep you updated...
In other news, it has been raining here for a solid week, or as Charlotte put it, "about five million bloody years". I wish I hadn't left my beautiful umbrella in Seattle. Oh well, I had a good time at the weekend scampering about in the downpoar.

A hamster? For serious? I thought you disliked animals to the brink of madness and beyond? Or is this compensation for the lack of Space Turtle in your life?
Dave is a good name for a hamster though. I reckon Butterscotch would be nice, too.
Ooooh, alternatively, you could name it Roger after everyone's favourite evil member of the Conte family.
We just got two little mice in our house, they're called Withnail and I..
Awesome.
You should call yours Mr. Furious.. or Toxic Viper. Although I'm sure the name you'll have already called it will be fine. "Fluffy" "Hammy" "sprite(3).visible = false" "Squeaky".. y'know, regular Hamster names.
You have hamsters called Withnail and I? That's amazing. Does the latter get all angsty and refuse to answer to Marwood?
Lauren, those are amazing names for mice. These are tame mice, right? I was so upset for you that time renegade mice ate your famous jumper.
We are going to get a hamster this afternoon I think, so I'll tell you all about how cute it is etc.
Addendum to this: we totally did not get a hamster. Very good thing too.
