Hi, just saw a thing about crazy ass flooding in your state, please check in asap so I know you’re safe πŸ™πŸ˜©πŸ˜³I’m super worried 😧

Cat's avatar

Did your cat sleep with you last night since it was cold or was she her bitchy aloof self??

Cat's avatar

Exulansic is the name

Samantha Paige (she/they)'s avatar

You’re better off blocking her, Cat. Took a look at her profile. She appears financially invested in her hate.

Cat's avatar

Ok will doπŸ₯°

Cat's avatar

Left you a DM update

Cat's avatar

Also a flashlight with new batteries !! Extra blankets, a lighter and candles.

Cat's avatar

I’m sorry, I’m going to badger 🦑 you until I know your power’s on, your heat is on and working, you’re nowhere near flooding, your cat is also safe, you are both locked in your home safe from the environment and any and all things bad with full power and heat and a charged working phone and possibly even hot tea and cat treats. Also I hope your wearing slippers to keep your feet toasty. I don’t think that’s too much to ask Samantha! πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

I’m golden on the slippers πŸ’•

Looks comfy 😊

Cat's avatar

Ty for the pic of slippers, was literally just going to ask for proof of lif on those suckers! Oh! I have a thing to talk you!!

Samantha Paige (she/they)'s avatar

I have power again. My phone is charging and my heaters are on overdrive. It got cold last night night without my electric baseboards running πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Cat's avatar

Sorry, was in shower rq but skipped shaving my legs so I could check back with you… also I’m getting dive bombed with a feminist anti trans chic right now and I’m new to that being a thing… do you have a mi Ute to pop over?

Cat's avatar

Is your power back no ?? Are you warm enough I hope??

Cat's avatar

Oh thank the goddess of trans women every where!! I was worried sick!!

Samantha Paige (she/they)'s avatar

My power’s been out for a few hours this morning. I have about 2% left on my phone πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

But I am safe.

Thank you πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

I was starting to pace while picturing you swept away in a flood and I didn’t know who or where to start calling … I’m so glad you’re safe!!!!πŸ˜ƒπŸ₯°

Cat's avatar

You know you resemble her a bit now that I look at her next to you. πŸ₯°

Very cute story!πŸ₯°

Guess what I named my youngest?

Hi Samanthaβ€”We watched the same after school TV shows. (I also dipped my toes into the very scary β€œBarnibus” [sp?] soap opera occasionally.)

I’m glad your β€œwhen I wake up” prayer was fulfilled’

Samantha Paige (she/they)'s avatar

Thank you ☺️

That’s very kind and sweet of you.

So am I πŸ˜‚

Wow, I was closer than I thought when I said besties… 🀭 although I always leaned into Mary Ann for some reason… after school programming sounds so familiar even though you never mentioned Get Smart ! It was Agent 13 that I think shaped me 🀣 Gotta find Lucifer Sam by Floyd… doesn’t ring a bell πŸ₯΄

Samantha Paige (she/they)'s avatar

If you’ve found the song, you can probably tell it’s a good song for a high school punk/post-punk band to really β€œgo to town on,” so to speak ☺️

If you haven’t located it, well, as a bit of warning (I guess πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ) my posted playlists are my β€œleast liked content.” It not like I’m bitter about it or anything. Really πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

But you might want to keep that in mind ☺️

Rick from the Dark Coast's avatar

I did find it and while that isn’t my favorite PF album it does have some good things on it… truthfully I haven’t seen/listened to your playlists yet as everyday I learn more about this place and what it has to share and help me continue moving through life… I’ll have to look and find your playlists and listen as I am extremely eclectic in my music tastes although a bit behind the times as it has taken a backseat since the 90’s when I was working full time and helping raise a family…

When I get my πŸ’© together and can afford my internet station, I’ll make sure you can connect with and help produce shows of your own in time slots that work for you !

I believe music is no different than race, sexuality, or ethnicity, it’s all in the mind of the beholder and those who understand that are my friends forever πŸ«ΆπŸΌβ€¦ I’ll try and add a pic of my vinyl collection although my daughter has claimed all the Sinatra parts… 😊

Samantha Paige (she/they)'s avatar

It’s on piper at the gates of dawn πŸ’•

I did forget about get smart!! Loved it 😊

Donna Crick's avatar

I love this. I am so happy that you ARE Samantha. PS My first kitten was Tabitha. I now have a gray kitty who loves only me and my youngest.❀️

Kai Kinzer's avatar

Thank you for telling us this! It's both cool and heartwarming to hear how much your cat and the name Samantha have influenced your life.

Samantha Paige (she/they)'s avatar

Everything can be allegory. Even everyday life πŸ’•

Samantha Stephens β€” I wanted to be like her β€” magical, strong, kind, funny. Maybe I am in so many ways. Did we all get programmed to believe in magic by Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie?

Samantha Paige (she/they)'s avatar

I like Jeanie too. But her β€œproblems” were too unrelatable (for a TV show πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ) for me.

Interesting thought πŸ’•

Cat's avatar

Beautifully written as always and were we a actually twins separated at birth πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ it’s crazy how similar you sound to me! I have a cat named Charles that’s a girl, very similar circumstances but I kept the name Charles🀭 . I also have a cat that I think is trans, seriously. Ever since they were young they’ve tried to breast feed other cats and they’ve acted like females do when they are in heat. This cat aside from being born with male parts that have been snipped, fully behaves like a female cat. I changed their name to a female name and embrace them as female.

I want you to know that you are Samantha and you don’t have to compete with any other version of yourself bc you are absolutely perfection and most importantly Samantha, YOU ARE ENOUGH!! You have woken up a girl, you always were a girl and you always will beπŸ₯°β€οΈ πŸ‘― lastly, you don’t need anyone’s permission or say so or input whatsoever, you just need you are fucking amazing! If someone wants to argue that topic, they do not deserve your time or your friendship. I also loved Bewitched and Gilligan’s Island and I’d love to hear your take on things where Gillian is the devil πŸ€” I’m currently being chewed on by my wobbly cat Mobey, he’s relentless 😩

Cat's avatar

A radical feminist that’s anti trans women has slithered into my comments and is battling me on the issue πŸ™„

Cat's avatar

I DMd you a few videos to check out

Cat's avatar

K! They are both serious topics about trans stuff πŸ₯°

Cat's avatar

Also thank god your on, my family are all sleeping and I’m bored on here w/ out you!

Lorraine OReilly's avatar

Too funny

My older cat’s name is Neko (after Neko Case, but it turns out that’s also the Japanese word for β€œcat.” She’s my first tortie. She’s weird as fuck, and she has an opinion on goddamn everything (and somehow it’s always different from mine). Of course, I am absurdly in love with her even though she does feel that violence is sometimes permissible and even warranted. I’m at a party but I’ve no doubt she’s asleep on my bed right now.

Samantha Paige (she/they)'s avatar

I love the name Neko!! And Niko Case πŸ’•

Weird as fuck. Yep, that’s a tortie πŸ˜‚
