An hour ago I thought "shit, time to feed the dog and I forgot to buy more dogfood. I don't want to go to the store right now it's too crowded." So I got my .22, went out and found and shot a rabbit. Laid down under the poplar on the grass watching my dog eating it thining "I'll do it tomorrow."

you were not kidding when you told me not to move to New Zealand because you hate traffic you really fucking hate people don't you ? that's why you moved to the most remote place on the planet. anyway was it one of your own rabbits or you found one in the wild ? do rabbits grow on trees in New Zealand or something ?

I don't hate people, I hate crowds. I'm an introvert and crowds demand constant awareness of the external environment, too taxing. Just driving through a parking lot puts my nerves on edge worrying about who is going to step in front of me or back out in front of me... and how the fuck am I going to turn my truck a full 90 degrees to park in a tiny parking spot with so little room to turn? It's impossible. Better to stay home. Rabbits are a pest in NZ and often at plague proportions during late Summer. So are stoats and possums, but we've got their numbers down where I live. I don't see possums very often anymore (probably because of my dog) and I've never seen a stoat here. I did see a polecat (wild ferret) once, and my dog saw it too and killed it. The polecat put up quite the fight, but was no match for the GSD.

i kind of like the challenge of being around people or in traffic but i am only able to relax when i'm home alone with only me and my computer being around other people is like a gym workout for the mind coming home is like taking a nice shower afterwards
