Formerly monstersinabox. This is my personal blog, which means I’m not catering to a specific audience. If that’s not really your style, I’ve also got a political blog, a writer’s resource blog, a humor blog, and a multi-fandom blog for you to follow as well. It’s always a good idea to have some idea who you’re following, so here are some critically important factoids for you. Firstly, please be aware that I’m probably older than you. If that doesn’t creep you out, then more power to you, but I may not follow you back depending on how drastic our age difference is. My cat Charlie is the absolute most important thing in my world. I also live in Milwaukee and am in love with my city. This blog will have many random pictures and open letters to him. Be well aware that you’re following a cat lady who takes pride in that label. I’m partial to indie-folk music, British comedies, thrift stores, guacamole, Marvel comics, and the Green Bay Packers. I’m the bastard love child of Miss Piggy and Lumpy Space Princess, and I was raised in a Hobbit hole by pack of rogue ninja librarians. If that all sounds groovy to you, then you should probably follow me.Tumblr (3.0; @catladynextdoor)http://catladynextdoor.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/82df3fd033c18ec02244a2de54f5a5f2/tumblr_mn9bmrkjDC1rv9jj7o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f76e1efb569c30332d073b1e548fa074/tumblr_mn9bmrkjDC1rv9jj7o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Look at those handsome boys! </p>http://catladynextdoor.tumblr.com/post/51151110315http://catladynextdoor.tumblr.com/post/51151110315Thu, 23 May 2013 10:13:39 -0500charlienuggetmy cats<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d3b0b2d70d4325df0a0872f1c361ad62/tumblr_mjl0yvPD511s6krrko1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://hiddlestonhug.tumblr.com/post/49453894681/valiantginger-creepturtle-feefeeri">hiddlestonhug</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://valiantginger.tumblr.com/post/49445031329/creepturtle-feefeeri">valiantginger</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://creepturtle.tumblr.com/post/49414113998/feefeeri-that-snowflake-sure-is-special">creepturtle</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://feefeeri.tumblr.com/post/49395454303/that-snowflake-sure-is-special-heres-a-new">feefeeri</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://that-snowflake-sure-is-special.tumblr.com/post/49392171685/heres-a-new-entry-for-my-list-of-reasons-why-i">that-snowflake-sure-is-special</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Here’s a new entry for my list of reasons why I love Gordon Ramsay.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Gordon<br/><br/><em>Ramsay</em><br/></strong></p> </blockquote> <p>gordon ramsay’s cook-along blog</p> </blockquote> <p>BRB DYING</p> </blockquote> <p>AHAHAHOMG</p> </blockquote> <p>I love checking the OP’s blog and seeing that the post or the blog itself was deleted because they just couldn’t own up to their own stupidity anymore.</p>http://catladynextdoor.tumblr.com/post/51150336415http://catladynextdoor.tumblr.com/post/51150336415Thu, 23 May 2013 09:57:26 -0500neil patrick harrisdoctor horriblegordon ramsayapparentlygif<p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://imagineyouricon.tumblr.com/post/50668851586/imagine-your-icon-becoming-the-new-dark-lord-of">imagineyouricon</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Imagine your icon becoming the new dark lord of Hell</p> </blockquote> <p>My cat, you mean?
