Ahaha! This is so great! You do have a cactus named Clary, right? A better name the more i think of it  |

Ahaha, yup, I do! I had three - Clary, Tom, and Mattes, but Tom died.  I need to get another Tom! They're three different types, and I bought them all to match their names: Clary's pretty complicated-looking for a cactus, and she doesn't look particularly dangerous but you end up getting painfully spiked by her anyway, even when you think you're nowhere near her spikes. (After I bought them, I was debating whether I should make Clary Mattes and Mattes Clary, and then Clary spiked me through the bag and I was like 'Nah, that's her'.  Mattes is tall, and looks really fuzzy. If you touch him gently, he doesn't hurt at all, but if you poke hard/squeeze then he hurts! And Tom wasn't spiky at all, but he was this big happy-looking cactus with a broad base, and thick leafy things. Edit: I dug up an old photo. |

I love the reasoning behind the names! They all seem to fit very well ;D PS I have a Tom-plant! Maybe he can live on in memory |

Yay! I don't feel so bad about not getting another Tom asap now. (He died during SMACKDOWN, so I feel even guiltier ) |
