Hello children,

SO, in 40 minutes im off to the pet store to by me a new friend :) -a budgie (or parakeet if you will). I like birds. I like pets. I've been looking for a new one ever since my rat died last year (RIP Fabio:( )
Anyway, it's gonna be fun. I will be getting a male.
What do the interesting people at M-F think i should name it?
I'm HORRIBLE at naming (OBVIOUSLY, the rats name was Fabio!!!lol)
But yeah i need a name,
it needs to be short so i can teach it to say its name, but yet not boring.
I've been trying to come up with one for months....i jsut dont know....for a while i though i wanted to name it "bird" lol.
WAIT?!?!!
what about "Mac"! :)
MAC!
IM A FREAKIN GENIUS!
A MAC GENIUS!
HA.

Actually,
after looking outside, we are going tomorrow.
SNOWING! :)
Our little dodge neon cant handle .5inches of snow lol,
we're switching over to our 1994 GMC Safari!! Riding in style!Lol jk.
But its nice, you could run over a titanium ibook at 60mph and not even notice. (I just made that up, but it would be horribly sad. Actually, maybe that would be unrealistic. I would see a shining sparkle of a reflection in the road and be like "WHATS THAT?!" and stop and be like "WOW, I ALMOST RAN OVER AN IBOOK!!!!")
uh yeah....all right then....

You sure it's a male? Do you know how to tell? It's not too old, I hope. Young budgies/parakeets have stripes over the tops of their heads. The older they get, the fewer remain, until none do.
