Meijer. Their selection isn't amazing, but the fish are all healthy, which can't be said for many pet stores.

Wow, the fish at your meijer are healthy?!
CRAZY!
In ours half of the fish are dead, and it's not too uncommon to find some loose birds around the store.
Bought a gerbil once, died 4 days later. I took care of it and everything, turns out it was WAY older than the lady at meijer said it was.

I thought it was just a goldfish.

I'm wrong, and I'm a little worried.

It's, urm, a Koi.

Like, a pond Koi.

It's going to grow to about 8 inches, and right now, the bowl could stand to be a little bigger.

I may need an aquarium. o_o

HAHAHHAHA, that's pretty funny. Although, I'm sorry that you may need to go out and buy a bigger bowl or aquarium. What did you name it?

My bad, I thought you had already said that, just too lazy to look I guess haha.

Well I just got back from seeing "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" which was pretty good. Now I'm sitting here trying to convince myself to work on a project that is due Tuesday. :Shouting:

The weekdays come...and i'm back to my usual routine of cutting back internet.
I ran 10 miles today and did 150situps so far.
It gives me so much energy, it's great!
NOW MY PHYSICAL ENERGY CAN MATCH MY MENTAL ENERGY.

KEEPS GOING.....AND GOING....AND GOING.


Oh and tomorrow, due to some recent AMAZING weather.....I suggested that our band class play.....OUTSIDE!
YESSSSSS!
Is it nerdy that i'm SUPER EXCITED?
yes.
DO i care?
NO.

ALthough it'll probably be hot. I should start practicing, I would like to add some higher notes to my range.

Anyway, i gotta go type an english essay.
it's REVOLTING.
We literally have to use the outline "Spring break means (insert 3 adjectives). It also means (insert 3 more). (Fill in what you did over your spring break). Whether a person (insert activity), or (insert activity), spring break (insert adjective)

it's ANNOYING!
AND THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE OUR "ATTENTION GETTER!"
Why would anyone ever want to write like that?
WHY?
WHY?
WHY?

Still waiting back to hear from an interview....literally it's driving me insane. I thought for sure they would get back to me being it over the weekend and all. Good news is I got another call from a company wanting to talk to me Wednesday.

I have a presentation to give tomorrow morning which I really don't want to do at all. I can't wait until it's over and I will be pretty much done for school work as far as the semester goes, except for finals of course.

Ugh, I feel like a tool.

I spend $50 on an Apple Mighty Mouse because it matches my system and blah blah, and find that the $10 Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical is 20x the mouse that Apple's is.

*sigh*

Yes, I'm not a fan of the Mighty Mouse.

I think the only part of the Mighty Mouse I'd miss would be the squeeze for expose.

That's enough to keep me from spending $10.

Well, we picked the WRONG angle, sure our backs were to the sun, but our music was right in the sun so it was whiter than teeth in hollywood, it was hard to see it it was so bright, and the wind kept blowing our music away.

But a band related dilemma. :p
I think he (our director) put me in symphonic for next year, which is the band who does to band camp, marching competitions, and worst of all...plays at ALL THE FOOTBALL GAMES.
Sure it's encouraged, but I don't want to do that.
I socialize at games.
Catch up with all the people I might not have classes with.
They're great, but now......ugh.

Hah, I was different. I did those band things so I could hang out with people ;) I'm a loser person at my school. I'm not "cool" enough to talk to, people might get deemed uncool if they are seen by me.

I'm fine. I'm over it. After that florida trip with all of my peers, I really am glad I'm not their friends. I have my small group of friends, and I'm happy with that. I don't want to be associated with them pricks. Quality > Quantity in this case. After High school I wouldn't see any of them again! Yay!

High school is one of the reasons I would not choose to relive my life if someone gave me the chance. Ogacon, I was probably a bigger loser than you think you are. And that was at an all-girls' Catholic high school.

Tanner, what instrument do you play? I'm sure you've mentioned it before, but I'm too lazy to search.

Got two MBPs going right now. While I post on mine, I'm installing Leopard on my husband's co-worker's MBP, so that I can set up Boot Camp for him, as he needs Windows for a program he uses for work.

I need to get a keyboard, my left hand is starting to feel carpal-tunnelish because of using the laptop on top of the desk, which is really too high. My computer desk has a keyboard tray that would make using a keyboard a lot more comfortable. Don't know yet if I'll get a mouse, I might make do with the trackpad. I try to use keyboard shortcuts as much as I can anyway. Right now my MBP is in my lap while Rob's occupies the space on the desk where my MBP usually lives.

Ogacon, did you get your computer yet?

Okay, I'm rambling, better give someone else a chance to contribute.

Ogacon, I should have said, I was probably a bigger loser than you think people think you are. Does that make sense? You seem to be pretty well adjusted and are not letting those losers make you think you're one. Good for you. I haven't kept in touch with any high school classmates either, even the ones that I was friends with there.
