I'm freakin' BRILLIANT.

Remember how I double-checked when I got Elliot to make sure they were both boys?

*buzzer sound*

Er, I just re-checked out of some paranoid feeling and, well ...

I think Emmett is a girl.

*forehead smack*

Goodbye, futon I planned on buying this week. Helloooooo, other cage.

(Not that they're beating each other up or anything. They're actually being pretty nice to each other. I just, you know, would prefer them not be all THAT nice to each other. The rule in this house is that nobody in this house has a baby before I do. I don't care how adorable they might be.

Of course with my luck it's too late. *eye roll*)

EDIT: So somewhere around the middle of June I get to find out just how bad my luck is. Fabulous.

OTHER EDIT: On the other hand I'm now horribly amused that my chinchillas are having an older woman/younger man love affair. *hums Simon and Garfunkel*

"It's not like she can get any more pregnant, right?"

So I had to tell someone that Emmett is a girl (and she's staying an Emmett because ... well, I like that name, damn it, girl or not), so I called my brother and swore him to secrecy.

Bryan: "You mean you didn't figure this out sooner?"
Me: "I mean, I checked and all but I thought she was a boy until I found that extra hole."
Bryan: "Well, what made you look again?"
Me: "Let's just say that Elliot is frighteningly well hung in comparison and I was afraid Emmett was developing a complex."

Boo for spontaneous field trips.

Well, the chinchillas are now in separate cages. I couldn't exactly afford to buy a huge one so Elliot (who's the smaller one) is stuck in the less studly of the two. Their reactions are a little like:

Elliot: *rubs paws on cage* Aw, I want to go back over there! It's got an exercise wheel and a hot tub and cable and a hot chick!
Emmett: LA, LA, LA, THE MANSION'S MINE! *skips gleefully around the cage, waves happily over at Elliot*

Heh. I should probably move Elliot's cage, 'cause I'm pretty sure Emmett's just laughing at him now.

The whole thing sucks, though, if only because I'd had writing planned for this afternoon and it's yet another day without a finished story. Weekend - 1, me - nothing. *sigh*

On the other hand, I've had another idea for spn_j2_bigbang. The part that makes me pause? It's RPS, or possibly gen RPF just because it could totally work that way.
