They’re touching. Look at them touch.

What the hell. When I first set up my fish tank, I got eight fish in a matter of about a week. Now I’m down to two fish. Two. Out of eight. Both the mollies died, both the platies died, the pleco died, and my poor little green puffer, Smeagol, died. They were all freshwater fish too, and that’s what my tank is. It’s not like, I’m trying to put freshwater fish into a marine environment, or vice versa. So, the big oscar (conveniently named Oscar) and the irridescent shark (named Spoon) are all that’s left. If these ones die, I’m just going to get some goldfish for the tank, because the goldfish I’ve had in the past have lasted longer than most of these fish.

The other day we found a baby bird in our yard — actually we saved it from my dog who was about to eat it, and we couldn’t get it back into or near the nest, so we called the New York SPCA. I kept the bird in my room for the night (the only place that bloodthirsty dog WOULDN’T get it) in a box with some bedding, and I kept feeding it water, because we had nothing else to give it. The next morning I called a bunch of animal hospitals and stuff, because I didn’t know if it was injured or not, and they all referred me to this hotline. So I called the hotline, and it was an automated thing that I had to leave a message on, and someone would get back to me. Nice of them to fucking get back to me. The baby bird died Monday evening while I was at work. They called back Tuesday morning. Fuckers.

Anyhoots, now that I’ve gotten my negativity over with, I finally got approved for a credit card! I’m so happy. My credit line is currently only $200 (so I can’t do too much damage), but I’m told it will increase quickly. I can now finally start building good credit so I can get a new freakin’ phone! ALSO, I’m getting my tattoo tomorrow. Finally. I’m so SO excited about that. Lindsay and Corina are both coming with me, and Justin might be too. I’m going to this one Tattoo Lou’s location that I’ve heard a lot of good things about. OH MAN. I’m so excited, I think I’m going to wet myself.

I helped Lindsay with her chemistry project this past weekend, and let me tell you, this was quite a production. You see, she had to do something like artisitc with the elements of the periodic table or something, like a song, or a skit, and the teacher said even something like an MTV show or something. So, Lindsay had this idea for a spoof on MTV’s The Real World. Shw got a bunch of people together to be different elements (all accompanied by stereotypes), we filmed it at Madison’s house, and it’s probably the most entertaining piece of ameteur film I have ever seen.

I was neon. Since neon (a noble gas) has all it’s electrons, it doesn’t really interact with other elements unless forced in a lab environment. I was a raver — glitter, glowsticks, bright colors, wings, and then some — and was just kinda in my own little world the entire time, not really reacting to anyone or anything.

Lindsay, since she is the skinniest out of all of us, was hydrogen, the smallest element. Since hydrogen only has one electron, one neutron, and one proton, she was the little anorexic girl.

Madison was carbon. Carbon is in a lot of things, and you need it to live, so she was the little promiscuous whore who aimed to “bond” with everyone, no matter what the gender.

Matt was flourine. Flourine tends to attract a lot of electrons, so he was the good-looking high school jock type, and whenever he was around, all the girls (except for little raver me) swooned.

Hugel was francium, which is an element so big that it’s always losing electrons. So he was the big, goth, loser-type who was constantly losing his keys throughout the skit.

Christina and Andrew were chlorine and sodium. Since these elements are commonly together and very deadly and explosive when apart, they were the couple who DOESN’T let go of eachother.

And Amy, who was added in last minute, was uranium. Radioactive and unstable. She just ran around the entire time screaming “DON’T TOUCH ME! I’M RADIOACTIVE!”

All in all, it was really amusing. We even had those little two-minute spots with each person talking about someone else in the house. And then Madison has this poor little neurotic chihuahua who’s probably in therapy from us. In fact, it was so much fun that we want to make another one. Only, this one being a spoof of Survivor. This idea is still in the fetal stages, though.

I got really tired of the skins layout idea really quickly. ‘Cause it’s just like, when I wanna add something to the layout or something, I gotta edit it on 7 different stylesheets. And that’s annoying. I’m working on another layout. So expect that sometime soon.

Anyhoots, that’s it for now. My question form is NOT WORKING AGAIN! so I have to fix that.
