This is my story.  I am a gerbil.  I am not a rat.  A common mistake but don't let it happen again.

This is who I was named after.  This was a long time ago.  Now she looks like this:

In case you're wondering, my guardian (that is to say, the nut job who keeps me in an aquarium) is a big Doctor Who fangirl.  Please do not hold this against me.

I've developed a great new skill.  I now know when crazy girl has her camera.  I use this advanced knowledge unheard of among gerbil-kind to thwart her plans at photography.  I now only stand still in adorable poses when she's camera-less.  You may bow to me now. 

So, here I am.  I tell you, there's something really creepy about sitting on a dining room table surrounded by enormous humans and huge, hairy things that look like this:

Oh, yeah.  Gerbil life is far from normal.   Side note:  the hairy thing is called Radar.  He really isn't bad.  In fact, the humans love him.  He just gets a little miffed if you spell his name backward. 

 Pages but if you happened to stop by recently you may have noticed that my links (on your left) were gone.  I don't know why that was.  Now, magically, they're back.  Granted, I'm just a rodent (just a rodent, indeed.  Who am I kidding?  I'm eight shades of awesome.) but I know that isn't supposed to be.  That's what that wondrous "save" button is for.  So, I guess what I'm saying is, if you're out there and you're hacking my site, find something better to do with your time.  I'm a gerbil, for Pete's sake!!!

Just a couple of quick notes.  A)  If you happen upon my page here, please drop me a not in the guestbook to let me know where you came from.  I mean, how you found me.  2)  Crazy fangirl is going to try to make some habitat toys out of homemade clay.  I'll let you know how this turns out as it will probably be hilarious.  She's about as talented an artist as she is a web designer.  Thanks and good night!!!

OK, I suck as a blogger.  I admit that.  I'm a rodent so give me a break, huh? 

So, what's there to report?  Not a whole lot.  I did manage to escape the crazy girl for a night.  I managed to get the top off my tower and hop to freedom.  How?  I'll never tell.  Let's just say it shouldn't be attempted by mortals.  Wanna know the best part?  The human was distraught and thought I was gone for good.  Left a big, honkin' supply of sunflower seeds to try to lure me out.  So, basically, freedom and a feast!  Rock on.  Eventually I let her catch me, though.  The big world is kind of scary after a while.  Besides, I was born with people so I don't really think I'd be much at foraging.

Oh, and I might be getting a new tank mate!  The Live-in Loony thinks I've been acting a little depressed.  I have to say, my people were never meant to live in solitude.  No gerbil is an island, you know.  I can't wait!  The human is making her plans and hopes to have my new companion here withing a week!  Wish me luck.  I hope she doesn't snore.
