Qubit is a little pill. This morning I got out of the shower and was about to go to work when I realized she hadn't greeted me at the bathroom door like she usually does. I wandered around the apartment calling her name, but got no response. I checked her favorite hiding places: under the comforter on my bed, in the shelf under the entertainment center, above the cabinets in the kitchen. No Qubit.
Then I heard a tiny bump from the kitchen. I started peeking in cabinets, and lo and behold, there was Qubit! She had figured out how to paw the cabinet door open and was sitting very happily inside the cabinet, purring, apparently waiting for me to find her.
She likes playing games like that. Another game she's developed recently involves viciously attacking my feet when I'm on the phone.
She also loves to bat her dry food from her food dish into her water dish. Then she'll sit and watch it soak up water for a moment, and when it's soaked long enough, she'll poke at it, then happily lick the flavored water off her paw.
Such a pill, but she's cute, so I keep her around.

A pill?
I've never heard someone being called "a pill" before. Where does it come from? What does it mean? Will I regret asking this so hastily after I do a Google search two seconds later?
Re: A pill?
I've always taken it to mean that someone or something is being mischevious and frequently annoying. Not sure where the term originated, but I heard it growing up. Possibly cuz I was quite a pill sometimes.

Like a woman!

eh, I had drank a little vodka when I wrote that. For the women who read this website, I was just kidding.
Re: Such a pill, but she's cute, so I keep her around.
I sure do love drunk people.
Women read this site too?!?!?!
Who knew...
gee...
...was that smirkingly sarcastic?
Re: Such a pill, but she's cute, so I keep her around.
I was by no means drunk.

Without the sheltering arms of Dr. Funk to protect you, I'm not sure the women of wonko.com can forgive :P

That must be an inside joke...

My pants are tight!

When people post to a forum drunk, they often type badly. as in 'drfunk' instead of 'drunk'. This, in the forum mentioned above, has led to 'Dr. Funk' being mentioned in connexion with inebriated posters.

Pshaw, it would've been a much cooler inside joke if it was about Dr. Theopolis.
