Escaping Earth?!

2006-12-08T20:34:36Z

HumanKari says she's going to escape from earth tonight. That sounds scary!

::runs for cover in hideaway tunnel::

Anyone still reading?

2006-12-08T20:28:20Z

Jake here. We've been preoccupied with our new neighbors as of late and haven't been able to sneak onto HumanKari's laptop. Noisy neighbor, and messy they are; HumanKari calls them "day-goos"? At any rate we are contemplating on whether we should let them in on this journal.

Scariness

2006-08-29T18:22:33Z

Hello, 'tis Charlie. Like Jake said I'm not fond of this screenie machine. I guess I'm an old fashioned kind of gerbil.

Last night HumanKari had us in our run around pen when I heard the scariest sound. Like a *murraowww* noise. I ran and hid for the rest of the night.

Jake says he was reading old entries from the others on here, and says it the cat Molly, better known by her nickname Meowie.

There was a cat at our birth home. It stood and stared at us all day and at night ran around and caught wild mice. *shudders*

The Gerbil House Reign

2006-08-28T15:49:07Z

I unearthed the secret Gerbil House documents left to us by the previous gerbil leader Ruby last night.

Charlie's not very excited about internet stuff, so we agreed that I will take sole ownership of The House.

Where's A Video Of Me??

2006-08-26T15:41:42Z

Boo, why does the spaz monster get a video on here but not me?

Jake *ish jealous*

Okay, I'll give this internet thing another shot

2006-08-26T15:36:44Z

Yesterday HumanKari made a video of me being athletic and such. She slowed it down in the middle to show my lovely running gait.

~Charlie~

yawns

2006-08-23T01:48:45Z

Jake just dragged me out of the nest to show me this el-jay thing on the glowing screenie machine he just commandeered from HumanKari.

He wants me to introduce myself. I don't know, this looks really scary.

*jumps at strange sound and runs to hide in wooden hide tunnel*

o_O

Erm, Jake here finishing up for Charlie. You'll have to excuse my brother, he's a bit of a spaz.

This is Jake signing off for:

Helloooo...Internet

2006-08-22T22:06:04Z

*peaks head in*

So this is what HumanKari does all day on this thingy!

We're already five months old and she is just now letting us in on this journal we inherited.

Pshaw...I shall return. *evil gerbil laughter*

My ears! sniffsniff

2005-11-25T21:37:19Z

I got really sick a few weeks ago. First I got a funny feeling in my ears. I tried to scratch it away, but it just made me bleed. The feeling made my all dizzy and it was hard to stand up tall without getting off balance. I started to feel better, and then my nose got stuffy and it was hard to breathe. Human Kari put the fruity stuff in my water that makes me feel better. I drank lots of it and I got less dizzy and could breathe again. But now I can't hear anything. I think I scratched my hearing away! *sniffles*

I updated The House today. I was feeling productive after spending the night destroying a tissue box. I was so excited I was bouncing off the ceiling. Unfortunately HumanKari had the top locked and it didn't come off to allow me a fun middle o' the night jaunt.

Drats!

HumanKari put me in my exercise run around ball and I got to chase the cat around the room. Yay! :D

There was lots of thunder sounding noises outside in the dark time last night. But it wasn't rainy and the lightning was different colors. What kind of weather is this?

Squeak On,

my nosey

2005-06-13T19:21:53Z

My nose was all itchy so I kept scratching it and I made it bleed and get sore. :( HumanKari took me out and wiped my nose with a funny stick thingie with a wet cotton puff on the end. She also cleaned out my house and now I don't feel itchy anymore!

I need to investigate that other glass house I saw. I haven't heard the sounds of anyone new talking.

Squeak On,
Ruby

whaat...

2005-05-22T01:02:55Z

I saw HumanKari bring in a second tank home just like the one I live in. What does this mean? Am I being replaced? Whaaa!

my beds

2005-03-26T20:38:19Z

I had gathered so much paper tube bits I was able to build myself two nests. One big one for at night and a smaller one as a daybed. And then HumanKari had to clean my house and now I am back to one measly bed. Phooey!

Why doesn't Meowie mollymarie99 update anymore? I have nothing to taunt while online anymore.

Squeak On,
Ruby

parental consent??

2005-02-11T20:18:03Z

I finally get to post on here again! I kept getting a parental consent thingie that had to be done before I could update again. But I don't have a parent! I had to make Human Kari do it as my parent.

I figured out how to go up a vertical tunnel the other day. Human Kari made me a cool tunnel set up to play with. There's a plastic tunnel (that I learned the human's don't like me to chew on like the cardboard tubes) that came down into my tank. I climbed up and was on top of my tank lid. Weee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was a really really long cardboard tunnel the was propped on top. I ran through, and came out on top of Human Kari's bed! It was so much fun. I ran back and forth over and over. I was sad when Human Kari had to put me back and take out the plastic tunnel.

I hope she does it again!!!

Squeak on,
Ruby

my work ruined!!

2005-01-05T20:48:58Z

Human Kari cleaned my tank today and ruined the pretty cardboard mountain I had been building in the corner of my tank! Now I have to start all over! Humph!

Squeak On,
Ruby

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

2004-12-24T20:00:26Z

I found this in Human Kari's saved email (shh... don't tell her I was snooping!)

'Twas the Night Before Christmas
(Little Rascals style!)

by Tana Lyman, The Little Rascals

'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a "running-mouse".

The gerbils were settled
All snug in their nests,
While visions of pumpkin seeds
Danced in their heads.

The stockings were hung
By the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicolas
Soon would be there.

After checking the pups,
Sherlock the dad
Had just settled down
For a well-deserved nap.

When somewhere outside
There came such a sound,
All the gerbils were startled
From their nests, with a bound.

They peeked through the glass
With their fur all mussed,
To see what had made
Such a noisy fuss.

With ears all perked
And whiskers all trembling,
They waited to see
What that noise was portending.

To their listening ears
Came a merry voice,
The sound of which
Would make anyone rejoice.

"On Dasher, on Dancer,
On Prancer, on Vixen!
On Comet, on Cupid,
On Donner, on Blitzen!

To the top of the roof,
To the top of the wall,
Now dash away, dash away,
Dash away all!"

And then the next instant,
They heard from the roof
The unmistakable sound
Of reindeer hooves.

The pups were frightened
And started to thump,
When down the chimney
St. Nick came with a “Whuump!”

The startled gerbils
Froze all in place
And stared at this fellow
With the rosy face.

His eyes how they twinkled,
His dimples how merry,
His cheeks were like roses,
His nose like a cherry.

His beard was as white
As an agouti's belly;
His stomach shook
Like a bowl full of jelly.

His voice was merry,
Yet soothing to hear,
And the gerbils relaxed,
Knowing they need not fear.

With a wink and a nod,
He turned to his bag,
Filling all the stockings
So full that they sagged.

The gerbils watching
With very bright eyes
Wondered if St. Nick
Cared for “people” their size.

Anxiously they watched
The presents appear.
Would there be something
For them this year?

Would they be remembered
With love and joy?
Or be forgotten
Like last year's old toys?

With each present
Their hopes did dwindle;
Their eyes grew sad
And lost their twinkle.

Their whiskers and tails
Dropped in despair;
It seemed that for them
St. Nick did not care.

When all the stockings
Were filled to the brim,
St. Nicolas turned
And gave them a grin.

To the gerbil tanks
He came with a bound,
And opened his bag
With a chuckling sound.

The biggest bag
Of pumpkin seeds ever;
A spray of millet seeds
That seemed to go on forever!

Wood toys, tubes,
And wheels galore,
He piled all these things
By the tanks on the floor.

The gerbils all jumped
And ran with joy.
He'd remembered them
And brought them toys!

With a wink at Sherlock
And a nod of his head,
He vanished up the chimney,
A blur in red.

They heard him exclaim
Out into the night,
"Merry Christmas to all
And to all a good night!"

They gazed at their presents
Through the tank glass,
With sudden frustration
Up and down they danced.

The humans were all
Still asleep it seemed,
How were they going
To get to their pumpkin seeds?!?

stupid cat

2004-12-08T20:21:12Z

mollymarie99 jumped on top of my tank three times today while I was trying to sleep. THREE TIMES!! Isn't that just a little excessive? You'd think she'd learn after the first try that the Human Kari will kick her out the room when she does that.

But really, that whole jumping on my tank is getting old. Doesn't she have anything better to do, like play with useless pieces of string or attack The Humans feet when they're not paying attention?

Whatever... ::goes back to running in wheel::

Squeak On,
Ruby

2004-12-03T20:17:02Z

Human Kari let Meowie (mollymarie99) in my room when she wasn't paying attention, and Meowie jumped up on top of my tank! I wonder if that was her silly little "evil plan" being thoughtlessly put into affect? Because sure she can jump on top of my tank, but can she open the locks on the lid. So I babysat the silly thing as she looked down at me until Human Kari came back and then I went back to sleep.

Squeak On,
Ruby
