Ya, it would be cool if we actually could grow one. Oh well. So anyhoo, my mom decided she was serious. I'm not kidding, she went looking in the plant stuff today and is talking about how I could totally market it. My mom is nuts that way, I told her that people who would get it is like...one. But she doesn't listen. She says it would be fun thing to make as a joke and we should try. She doesn't want to make money off it, you know, just enough to cover what we have to buy, but she mostly wants to see if anyone would really get it. *rolls eyes* My mom is nuts...but at least she is fun nuts.

Lol, that's classic. My mother would call the men in white coats if i started blubbering on how to grow your own Cillian... *Sigh* If we could really grow him, I don't think any of us would leave the house again. Hmkay, i just called the number and got told it's not available in my area *kicks Australia*

LOL I can imagine that. All of us meeting up with our own Cillian and all the Cillians b like: "Hey, Cill, what's up man, how's life over at your place, not growing so fast, I see? Having problems with the misses?" Ok, never mind, that's just me going crazy from the idea of owning my own Cill

All right, I finally have a post for you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to Nanuk for his patience with me, since he finished his part a week before me. Thanks to Stormy for the additions and beta reading the post. Here goes! ***** Chapter 3- "I see something!"
Unsure of what to do? Feel free to call our help line at any time, at 1800-555-HELP.
So you went out to check your Cillian Kit this morning and discovered, lo and behold!, hair peeking out of the grass! Naturally you are ecstatic. Real, verifiable progress is here! You are wondering who to tell, if you would be endangering your boy by digging him up, and many other things too numerous to mention!!
PLEASE CALM YOURSELF. This is the most important thing I can stress at this moment. Most people have a tendency to want to stroke Cillian’s hair and other such things, desperate to touch their very own Cillian, but you must realize that you cannot see where he is underneath the soil and that you are TRODDING on him when you get too close! Also, if you dig him up now, it WILL kill him. So I ask again, please calm down. Your Cillian will be fully grown soon.
Also, please be very careful who you tell about your kit! Make sure that person is trustworthy. Most likely the only person who will understand your justifiable excitement will be the owner of another Cillian Kit. If you don't know any other Cillian Kit owners you can talk to, or they're not available, feel free to call our toll free Cillian Kit Help Desk Crisis line (800-I-SQUEEE). *Yes, we know there is an extra E, but you try to come up with a good 1-800 number! * The length of time it will take you to call and get a person on the other end should give you a few moments to breathe deeply. Someone will be available to listen, give encouragement and advice, or provide fan-girlish reactions of awe and delight, depending on your needs.
Now, I ask you to think very carefully and fully realize that while this is an exciting moment, it is also a very crucial moment. Your Cillian needs certain things to survive this stage, and unless you can keep a cool head and provide them, he could have small defects later on, and we don’t want that!
The first thing we need you to do is go out and very carefully dig out the dirt that is covering you Cillian’s face. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL AND GENTLE and use your fingers only to remove the dirt. Before you go running off to do this, please remember not to freeze up and stop when you see his face. Drooling, fainting, or any other true fan-girl reaction could be dangerous, so do whatever you need to calm down right now. A cold shower perhaps, a small moment of quiet and darkness, whatever works for you, do it right now. There is nothing to be done about your inevitable reaction to seeing Cillian’s face right there in front of you and knowing it is yours alone, but perhaps we can lessen it so that you can get through this task.
Try to keep your reaction as calm as possible, because you don't want to scare your growing Cillian, who may be too young to fully understand and correctly interpret your reaction as a good one. You want him to trust you, not be fearful of you. This is a delicate stage, so be sure not to damage his young psyche with sudden movements or loud noises. Please keep the squeeing to a minimum, as this will likely confuse and frighten him. It's very important at this time to truly nurture your growing Cillian and provide him with reassurance of your good and loving intentions. Please be advised to keep the "loving" part comparable to a 'G' rating, at least at this point. Once your Cillian is fully grown and capable of comprehending, you can more safely follow your natural instincts.
With that thought, I release you to your task. Dig Cillian out just to his chin, and then stop. Be gentle and slow, and come back to the manual for instruction the MOMENT you have finished. If you have any questions or concerns, please call our Help Desk (800-555-HELP) immediately. We have operators standing by 24/7 to assist you with any Cillian Kit problems you may have. Congratulations on making it this far! Count the number of days you have left, crossing out the days that have passed if it helps, and be patient. Within 2 weeks, at the latest, probably less, you will have your very own Cillian! Yes, you can wait that long. Now, don’t argue, you can do it! ***** Well, there it be!! Coming up in the next chapter, we will discuss the Cillian owner's first glimpse of Cillian. Till then!

I think I want to change jobs. I want to trade my help desk job for the Cillian Kit help line. It would be so much more entertaining, and rewarding! The salary might even be higher, but even if it isn't, so what? This was a fun chapter, and I can't wait to see what we do when we get our first glimpse of our very own Cillian!

I laughed my head off, lol, that was a mix of creepy (the whole image of hair sticking out of a pot plant creeps me out just a wee bit ) funny, and cute!! Great job guys! If i sprinkle crushed steroids in his soil will he grow faster? UGH! what am i saying!? he will most likely grow demented I have another query, he won't think I'm his mummy when he pops up, will he? (You know, like lizards and birds do if there real mother isn't there ) Cuz that would just be disatrous and weird, and I'm pretty sure I'd get jailed for *cough* nevermind
