I'm such a wuss .__.;;

There's a mouse in the house.

We ran into each other when I went downstairs for a snack and more water before bed. .___.;; We knew that there was a mouse in the house already because it's been chewing on things in the pantry. Bad us for thinking that it was safe to keep plastic bagged things in the pantry. It got into my Double Stuff Oreos before I did. T__T! Dad was gonna get traps and such for it, but he hasn't yet.

Anyway, I went downstairs and after getting my water, opened the pantry doors (there's no locks or anything, they just swing open easily). I heard a rustling sound and froze, thinking maybe it came from the fridge behind me, which was whirring and making ice. Heard another faint noise, so I bent down to check the shelves near the bottom (we'd emptied the bottom shelves of everything pretty much not in a can or tupperware). Then RUSTLING. COMING RIGHT AT ME. At least it sounded like it. D:

I screamed. .___.;; Then I slammed the pantry doors shut, grabbed a bar stool, and wedged it against the pantry doors to keep them shut. And then I ran upstairs and yelled at my dad about the mouse (and woke him and my mom up too, though they did sorta wake up when I screamed). He said he had no traps. I said the equivalent of: "asdfghjkl;;;mouse in the pantry!" He said I should smack it with a shoe to kill it. I pretty much said: "ASDFGHJKL:LKJHGFDSASDFGHJKL::!!!"

... so we have a mouse in the pantry now. And it will probably stay in there, on the next-to-bottom shelf, unless there's some other way it can get in and out besides through the doors.

I'm not gonna open the pantry tomorrow. T___T

T___T I know how you feel. My sister keeps mice (they send shivers down my spine) and so is very much against the killing of mice. Therefore we have catch and release programs.

...it just seems pointless from my perspective.

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

I don't really like to kill mice either. I'd rather catch and release. But the problem is my dad buys the old school snap traps, and the mice keep coming back.

>_>;; And this bastard ate my Oreos. I didn't even get to eat ONE.

-_- i'm surprised your trickster instincts didn't take over and you didn't whack it repeatedly with a broom till its little soul went up to heaven.

it's just a mouse! harmless!

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

If I had the magic to fling a Mana Arrow at it, I totally would. As this is not the case, screaming works fine for me.

IT RUSHED AT ME. IT WOULD'VE ATTACKED.

[moffit.livejournal.com]

It may not still be in the pantry, you know. Mouse holes?

*flees

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

x___X I have no idea. BUt when we cleaned out the shelves we didn't see any mouse holes in the back.

[mmariep2.livejournal.com]

Mice are tricky. It probably isn't in the pantry any longer.

Either get a cat or get those traps. *shivers* I don't like mice.

And to make things worse, there could be more than just one. <.< >.> Sorry. -_-;

[moffit.livejournal.com]

Between the two of us, I'll bet she's got her feet up on her chair by now.

[mmariep2.livejournal.com]

I thought about that after I had finished reading all the comments. Or she's locked herself in a part of the house far away from the mice.

[moffit.livejournal.com]

I thought rodents could squeeze anywhere they like, though? Especially if there's babies.

[mmariep2.livejournal.com]

Actually they can. I remember when I was living in San Fran in the second place I lived there were mice there and it took us forever to get rid of them because they kept having babies. They get into everything, and its annoying to listen to their skittering at night.

[moffit.livejournal.com]

I don't know about you, but I know I'm probably going to die a horrible death after all this mouse talk. XD;;;;;;;;;

[mmariep2.livejournal.com]

I understand. Haha, just talking about it though is giving me the shakes.

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

... I hate you both now. ;___;

[moffit.livejournal.com]

Does this mean your feet are up? XD;

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

XP

It means I'm at Aoi-chan's house and getting on Trickster.

[moffit.livejournal.com]

It's being very picky at letting me on. 3rd try, now. If it doesn't work I'm going to be making dinner, etc. before trying again.

[moffit.livejournal.com]

Thero made it to lv40~

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

YAY! *hugs*

Wait... I thought he needed to get to 45? IS HE CUTE? WHAT IS THE SECRET THINGY?!

[moffit.livejournal.com]

Nope! Lv40. AND I'M NOT TELLING UNTIL YOU CAN SEE IT.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

YOU'RE SO MEAN. LET'S SEE IF THE WIRELESS WILL LET ME ON.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*kills the wireless*

I AM HEAVY WITH YOUR STUFF.

[moffit.livejournal.com]

You loooove me ♥

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

YES I DO. ♥

But now I can't get on again. I made it to Mega before the wireless crapped out again, so I'm not gonna stress it.

[moffit.livejournal.com]

I'm tempted to go drill for Bronze Gemstones just to make more money.

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

XD Everyone hates drilling in the mines, since now they took out the monsters that were there. If you want to, go for it. You can even pick up stuff you need to refine your own weapons. Huh, maybe I should've gotten all the bronze I have on my Fox, to give to you to sell.

Agate gemstones and amethyst gemstones plz.

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

x___X This isn't the first time we've had to deal with mice. Luckily, they all stay downstairs, since that's where the food is. I thought we'd gotten rid of them, but I guess they're back.

[firefox1490.livejournal.com]

If you open the door a crack and put like a box infront of it you can catch it and take it outside. No need to kill the little one.

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

The problem is that if we release it (which I'd prefer to do), it'll just come back into the house.
