more about the fishes

well, two of the infants have died. :(  :<   during a water change, but we still have 8 and thats a bunch...
they got STRIPES!!!!!!!!!!!!! So cute! and the large one has been getting more territorial. :(
yesterday i went online and looked at tank dividers with my dad. some of the stuff i saw looked like it would be good, but my dad was all like, its too bad we didnt see anything. he doesnt know how to use a computer, (id rather not go through a whole thing about that) so i have to do it.  and he gets really difficult, because sometimes he doesnt understand the concept of links. :(
butttt hopefully we can get one, or give him to my mom's work.
nom nom eating pie :)))

boring day...

so on the morning anouncements, our school does this video thing, but anyway... my science teacher from last year,  did the anouncement for today
he came on for the "historical moment/ did you know" and was like, im gonna teach you how to find orion, and, then he was like, no,
and he was being really funny,
but his historical moment thing was that in 1950something, today was claimed the most boring day of the year, because NOTHING happened.
i had forgotton about his fun anouncement, and it kinda made my day, he was one of my favorite teachers!

just keep swimming (literally) -our fish

i havent posted in a while! happy easter everybody! ( if you dont celebrate easter, then happy days off) i havent been on the computer in a while... idk if i was unconcienly taking a break or not. my easter was good, i go to see my cousins, and hang out with them.
we go baby fish at my house! we have 9-10 that are smaller than rice grains! and we have 4 larger ones! they are sicklids, (fish type, freshwater) and are called convicts. this is for a reason.
a) they have black stripes on semi white/clear bodies, and b) they are territorial and can be aggressive.
but they are kinda cute. my dad LOVES fish. we have 6 full tanks in the living room, and one empty one that we dont use, (storage) 1 55 gallon, 1 50 gallon, 1 20 gallon, and 3 ten gallons. i think that the empty one is 50 or 55 gallon. in the basement, we have one 50 or 55,  one 30 and one 10.
crazy, right?
dad says that he can see me as a future aquarist. (idk how to spell. a-quer-e-ist) this makes me really happy. we have recently re-done 2 of the tanks, and i did a lot of work. one of the tanks was mine, the other my moms. we only have 1 freshwater tank, the others are salt. we only have fish in 3 out of 6. but, we need to get a fish for my sisters tank, and one for the other big tank. we are thinking of getting a yellow tang.
we have 4 larger convicts, and one of them is bigger than the others, and he is getting territioral.
i named them after lord of the rings, (EPIC) biggest: gandlf (might become sauron if we need to seperate) next largest: aragorn, next: sam, he ate first and is kinda fat  smallest: frodo.
in out dining room we have a really old gateway computer, that we dont use. we might get rid of it and put tanks there. lol.
i also have 3 pet water frogs. so cute. i guess i can tell about them later! i dont want to bore you with our familiys aqarium!

the picture!

i feel compelled to explain all my pics. this one is my froyo masterpiece. i made it a loonngg time ago.. yum yum

My house!

I haven't posted in a while, but I want to talk about my house. its kinda small, and we only live on the first floor. I guess that my dad thought we might rent it out, but we never did. i also think that my mom said that heating costs would be too high of something. my parents don't make too much money, my dad is self imployed, (dont think i spelt that right) and my mom is a teacher.
i dont want to sount spoiled, or bratty when i say this.. but i wish that we did live down there too. i cant stop thinking about it. there's this one room, it has a blue rug, and this bed, and two windows that dont lead to an enclosed porch. (lol when i talk about my room, i have to remember to do that). and the closet is kinda nice too. i think that i make it sound better than it actually is...
i think that i might start cleaning my porch. "my" porch is most commonly called the "playroom" thats what it has been since my sister and i were very young, (me: 3 her:6) the only way in there, is through my room, or a window in the living room.
i want to make it a hang out and place for me, kinda like a continuation of my room? (you know, i think that this blog thing helps me think of stuff, that usually happens when i talk about myself like this)
the playroom is full of toys, though. some of them i really like, like the dollhouse. its wooden, and it was fixed by my dad, and we have all this nice furnature, that is mixed with fisher price dolls and stuff, but anyway, that thing is one of my favorite possesions, i dont care how odd it really is.  (lots of unexplainable memories, games what not)

last summer, while i was at summer camp, i had my mom and my sister clean and semi redo my room. a lot of stuff was taken out, and i feel like i dont know what i have. i was going to go through my stuff this summer.
its a hard topic to bring up with my mom, cuz i am that kind of person who gets very attached to stuff, even stuff from my child hood that i really dont need anymore.
new thought: if i make the playroom a "continuation" of my room, then i can put some of the stuff from the attic out there, and maybe some of the stuff that i dont play with in the attic for exchange.

the only problem is, is that its a huge job, and it gets really hot out there in the summer, and very cold in the winter, and there are no lights, but i'm sure there are ways to get around these things.

thank you blogging for making me come up with this idea!!!!!!!!!!

procrastinatingggggg

gosh, i really procrastinate too much...
i should be writing my concert reflection thing for orchestra, but instead i am blogging...

i am trying to grow out my bangs. i have had them basically my whole life, and i want to see what its like without them. they are kinda long, but not long enough for me to clip of tuck behind my ears!
if you or anyone you know, has ever grown out your bangs, i need your strategy! i dont really like having them in my eyes, and having to brush them away, only for them to look funny.

i cant wait till i can sleep.

derpppp

ok, i really like posting! lol. i need to stop, or im gonna have like twenty posts or you guys to read from one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think i'm just really happy!
