So is [Buffy](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/Guinastasia/Kitties/buffysteelers3.jpg). (She does it to get your attention, but it’s ALWAYS when you’re in the middle of something. Like when I’m doing my hair and make-up, or when I’m trying to do the dishes. Or even when I’m on the fucking toilet!)
