So I came home today after a nice rainy, rainy day and saw something move in my room as I went to turn on the lights.
Fearing it was something harmful, I quickly recognized the movement of the figure after a tiny second.
It was a lizard!
Had fun chasing the little thing out of my room, only to coincidentally stop it from moving enough to take...

Spoiler: Pics! Also, hand! (click to show/hide)

...but using my bad phone camera. :v

Funny thing. As soon as I snapped the image (full silent//no shutter noise), and after watching the tiny thing breathe, I poked it with my index finger...and it ran into my jacket :I Guess I should've just gotten my hand out. But it was darn cold.
So I had a somewhat colder, somewhat rubbery lizard running up and down my forearm as I wiggled my jacket to get it out, only to move outside and displace the creature into a more natural habitat than my enclosed room.
Which was totally clean and such. Obviously. ._.

Spoiler: But not before taking a closer shot! (click to show/hide)

...Yeah my phone camera isn't one of the better ones, but yay phone camera!

^{Also tiny myth(?) around here says seeing a gecko/lizard = good luck...}

Addendum: Got to love that [img height=x width=y] thing about resizing images without losing resolution.

I always figured those thing's natural habitat was inside rooms, considering I always have about 3-4 of them crawling my walls.

It's a tiny, cute lizard!

Yep, they're awesome. They eat all sorts of stupid bullshit, like mosquitoes and gnats, along with other unsavory sorts of crawlies. They're called bihu, "wall tigers," in China. I've seen them all the way in Northern China, and Southern China has 'em by the boatloads (which is great considering Southern China also has flying mosquito menaces by the boatloads).

We get similar ones stuck to our flywire window covers in summer, they eat moths which hang around near the light.

I looked them up last time and apparently they're a Gecko rather than a lizard since they have the rounded pads on their feet.

Spoiler: gato (click to show/hide)

Someone told me that it's a half-stray cat. It doesn't have an owner, but it hangs around our school because one of the gate guards feeds it every so often. It also isn't afraid of people at all, and lets random people pet it. And it goes meow meow <3

Aww, kitteh!

It looks pretty young, so maybe s/he (my grandma has a cat looking exactly like that and it's a female) didn't have time to pick up any Nasty Stuff.

I wish there were lizards in Belgium because they seem pretty cool

[Helgoland]

There's lizards in Bonn, the Botanical Garden is riddled with them - and Belgium is on the same latitude, isn't it?

[da_nang]

I'm a lizard. Does that count?

[LordSlowpoke]

you need to be in belgium for it to count

are you in belgium

[da_nang]

I could be. I could apply as a MEP assistant. I hear they need some more lizards down in Brussels. Just need to stop them from moving to Strasbourg every now and then.

So I was chatting with a nice friend on this nice game in Kongregate...and he suggested me a song for my worries.

That song cheered me up loads.

I think one of my lawnmower is pregnant.
