Fishhhhhh.

I'm so glad the lady at Brook's was nice. And that I didn't go the wrong way on any one-way streets on the way there. Many annoying delays happened, and I ended up going on my own.

My first choice was a black moor goldfish, then a companion for him. Petco didn't have any moors, and I nearly overlooked Brook's moor because it was the only one in a dark tank. I just saw the shadow of a black fish and I squished my face against the glass and prayed and then GOOGLY EYES! YESSSSSSS.

Then a companion. The speckled ones weren't very cute, so I looked at the remaining the non-common goldfish. Eventually I got a comet, who's orange and white and has orange lips.

I set everything up. Water gets spilled; my face gets splashed.

Then naming. I think up some possibilities, but everything's not set in stone. Go to Val's to mull it over and play the game and make oatmeal cookies.

Today:

Cleaning my room some more. Took Jenny to Walmart so I could buy a more comfortable computer chair and I wouldn't buy her eyeliner and then I went to wait in the car and she got lost for twenty minutes until I went looking for her. I know, twenty minutes? But CYY had a good lineup.

Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Home Depot. Dad told me when I got home I should have gone to Staples and Big Lots!. Boooo.

So I didn't really accomplish anything today except getting the final fish names. I was going to name the orange one Amaterasu Ra, the shinto and Egyptian sun gods respectively, but I just settled for Bruce. Yes, random. The black one's Howl, the name of the wizard in the book I've ordered from Borders.

That book...they didn't have it in stock in the store. The lady didn't believe me and was a total b***h about it. Now they're sending it to the house without shipping tax but it's been more than a week and still nothing. I'm getting very impatient...
