attack in black

I know I'm pretty far behind on the blogs (still have to comment on: Belgium, Justin and Vic's arrival, Paris, parent's visiting, soon Barcelona, etc etc) but I could not continue without commenting on this. Which almost half takes care of the parent blog. But...not really.

Anyways, when my parents came to visit, one night we went out to dinner with a group of friends and co-workers. At dinner I encouraged my mom to tell family stories (which I realized are funnier to us than to others who don't know the other strange members of our family with staring roles in these stories). One of the stories my mom told was about my "childhood" obsession with Batman (I put childhood in air quotes because I'm sure the new batman trailers make me want to pee my pants, and I'm pretty sure I have Prince's Batdance song downloaded on my itunes). She explained how I would wear my Adam West batman cape around the house (all the time I might add. Man I loved that fucking cape). Anyways, after dinner, Justin asked about the story because he had missed most of it. My dad started repeating the story, but as he was telling him that I thought I was batman he got a little flustered changing the gender and species - batgirl, catgirl, and eventually blurting out - batcat!

Well Justin and I ate it up, we loved it. We walked home discussing batcat and batcats various super powers. Moving from flying and scratching out people's eyes, to being a laser cat with bat wings and a scorpion knife. I spent two weeks telling Laura to draw me up as batcat "batcat is me dressed as batcat" I would tell her. Until eventually, until today, I woke up to the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Batcat. Me. As batcat.

I then decided that Laura would be my sidekick because it was predetermined by fate.

You see last year after watching a Family Guy skit with Mayor Adam West using a cat launcher against the pizza delivery man, then picking up the cats and ridiculing the cat Paul for having a ridiculous name, I nicknamed Laura - Paul. Because she's ridiculous. Like a cat named Paul.

Look at how amazing this is. I am batcat by virtue of my childhood obsession with Adam West's batman. Adam West who said Paul was a ridiculous name for a CAT. Therefore, Laura is now "Paul Sexy-fingers" my sidekick. She doesn't know it yet though. But I imagine her wearing mittens that have the fingers cut out, and having a cat face (not ears like me) and a utility belt to hand me my weapons (including my trusty scorpion knife) with her sexy hands. I smell a comic book deal. Then a movie. Staring Angelina Jolie as me, Scarlett Johanson as Laura, Tony Soprano as my dad, and Kitty from that 70's show as my mom. Adam West will have a cameo.

POST EDIT

Laura is now Paul Sexy-Fingers.

Now we just need a mission!
