Confession Time!

Me too. I've also killed more than enough mouses.

How many is enough, though?  I think it's how you kill them that matters.  I remember using traditional mousetraps in our old place.  Trap was triggered sometime during the night, but the mouse wasn't killed.  Its lower body was held and, disconcertingly, compressed by the trap, and the poor bastard managed to drag itself off a counter top and onto the kitchen floor.  I filled a container with water and submerged the mouse (still in the trap) until it drowned.  I don't recall using traditional mousetraps after that.

When I was a little kid, I so didn't want to part with our tiger-striped kitty Tiger Lily that I carried her with me to the bathroom one time.  This was not one of my better life choices and, unsurprisingly, did not end well.

We also used to put her into a dresser drawer and watch her pop out of another.

It's not really your fault. There's an unhealthy lack of commas in that post.

 

(No offense, other person)

I don't think there is a lack of commas. Please explain.

 

"our tiger-striped kitty Tiger Lily" should be "our tiger-striped kitty, Tiger Lily" in order for it to make more sense and more easily interpret-able. English Punctuation.

 

Because beforehand, jumbling it all into one thing makes it sound weird and totally destroys the fact that there's supposed to be a name and a description in the same sentence.

Ah, because Tiger Lily is a name of the kitty. Kitty is an noun, not an adjective, in this context. Right?

My confession: I once fancied myself an author, yet I don't care to be a hardass about grammar. To me the message is what matters.

Essentially, yes.

 

(But now this is starting to turn into English Class. Maybe I should stop.)

I believe it's generally considered appropriate to surround such an elaboration with commas when it is already known and, therefore, unnecessary.  No one would've known the name of my childhood pet had I not provided it.

I WILL DESTROY YOU!!1!  The bolded, all-in-caps text indicates how seriously serious I seriously am.

Don't judge a book by its cover. You will truly understand it if you're just willing to read it.

What about "tiger-striped kitty who is called Tiger Lily"?

Considering the inherent flexibility of language, I could've said any number of things. xD  Though there is a vague shred of epic-ness in the way you worded that:

 

When the moon is high and the dark birds cry loudest, there silently emerges a beast unlike any other.  She is friend to us all and keeps watch over the perilous night.  With alternating stripes of gray and black is she decorated, and on quiet, hidden feet does she tread.  Yes, child, she is the one; the one who is called...  Tiger Lily.

 

Confession: I'm an idiot.

Sometimes *rarely* I can have a pretty bad temper even though I am a pretty easy-going mellow person.

Confession: My first language was English and I can speak it the best out of any language that I know, but I just can't fully get the grammar down. I'll look up when to use "raised" or "rose" or something for a moment when I'm confused, but I just can't remember it and my mind will just end up telling me what to put in based on what sounds right to me. I pretty much just write the way I speak and that fools me sometimes.

Arabic grammar though, it's so structured. It's like math but with words.  :wub: I'm definitely a huge geek and Grammar Nazi when it comes to this (though only to myself :lol:).  

 

Another confession: I talk to my Twilight plushie... often...
