Alright, ew.

There's a lizard stuck in the hollow of my guitar. And I can't get it out. I don't even know how he got in there in the first place! It doesn't look like it would even be able to fit inbetween the strings to get in there.

And then there's the fact I have to wash everything I own now, because I'm not all that comfortable wearing things that lizards have crawled all over. So can someone hurry up and deal with this, please?

I'd definitely appreciate it.

What? You don't like lizards?

[instantdrama]

When they invade my stuff? Not so much.

[fullnamebasis]

Not like they know any better.

[instantdrama]

I know they don't, which is why I haven't killed any of them. But it doesn't make it any less frustrating that one's in my guitar, of all things.

[fullnamebasis]

Who knows? Maybe it'll be useful and you'll discover a whole new type of music.

[instantdrama]

That's-

not a bad idea, actually? I mean, it's weird. But you could potentially be onto something.

[fullnamebasis]

Or maybe we could teach it to play guitar.

[instantdrama]

That's pushing it.

[fullnamebasis]

It sounded like a good idea.

[instantdrama]

I'm sure it did.

[fullnamebasis]

If they can teach elephants to paint, why can't a lizard play guitar?

[instantdrama]

I may or may not be ashamed at not knowing what you're referencing, depending on what it is.

[fullnamebasis]

Elephants can paint now. Haven't you seen?

[instantdrama]

No? Have you been on the weird world section of cracked.com over the holidays or something? Because I don't think that's exactly been headline news.

[fullnamebasis]

No. I thought it was cool.

[instantdrama]

Okaaay.

[lookupforme]

You don't have to worry. Lizards don't have feelings or emotions or anything, so if you were terrible, they wouldn't notice.

[instantdrama]

Well I'd still feel a little bad if I accidentally hurt one. I mean, I'm sure it'd feel it if I tried forcefully removing it from my guitar.

[lookupforme]

And their tails don't grow back, so you must be careful.

[instantdrama]

... That kind of contradicts what you said before? 'Don't worry- but their tales don't grow back, so be careful'.

Not really getting a solid idea of what I should be doing.

[lookupforme]

You shouldn't be flirting with Stephen hurting them physically, because everything can feel pain, but it doesn't matter if you hurt them emotionally because they don't have feelings.

[Cassie is too all over the place to make a consistent metaphor. Be confused, Jude.]

[instantdrama]

Okay, well I totally planned on calling them stupid idiots while I made sure to hold them gently. Sarcasm aside, I'm not really sure why you would think I'd hurt the lizards. Literally or emotionally.

[lookupforme]

Oh, wow.. Jude. I just thought... You didn't seem that happy about them.

[instantdrama]

I'm not, but that didn't mean I want to actually hurt them or anything. What kind of person do you think I am?

[lookupforme]

I don't know what kind of person you are, Jude. Maybe that's why I'm making all these assumptions. So what kind of person are you?

[instantdrama]

[Okay, she's really starting to get a feeling from you, Cassie. It is not a good feeling.]

Is there something wrong?

[lookupforme]

Oh, Jude. Wow, I'm sorry. I sound like a complete bitch. Everything's fine, and I'm sure you're wonderful. I'm sorry about the Gecko's ruining your guitar.

[instantdrama]

[Well that doesn't sound suspicious at all.]

Is there a reason you might have been sounding like a bitch? Because you're the one who threw the word out there, I never said anything.

And I'm sure it'll come out eventually.

1/2

[lookupforme]

There's nothing to come out, Jude. There's no reason for anything. Why are you being so...

2/2

[lookupforme]

Oh, you mean the Gecko.

Yes. And everything will be fine.

Try luring it out with apricots?

[instantdrama]

[Yeah, that feeling? Not gone.]

Alright. I just have to ask, do you think I'm stupid, or just really oblivious to things that are right in front of me?
Because I'm not. And it's getting easier and easier to tell that you're not telling the truth when you say there's nothing wrong.

[lookupforme]

[To be fair, she's never telling the truth when she says she's fine]

It doesn't matter Jude. Even if it did, it's nothing. I'm sure you're guitar sound great with or without a lizard.

[instantdrama]

Cassie, come on and just tell me. Please?

For once I'm more worried about figuring out what the problem is than I am about my guitar. So that says a lot.

[lookupforme]

I don't understand. I thought the problem was the gecko, in the guitar.

Oh look, my journal's on fire. I have to go now.

[nunganunga_k_o]

They are DISGUSTING. I will say this for free, I never wanted ONE gecko newt whatever type of slithery thing so I can't imagine why anyone would want 5 million of them.
