The Universe Really does Hate Me, and Possibly Pirate too.

I got home from school this afternoon to find my fish Jaws dead. I'm thinking now "c'mon man! Why do my fish keep dying!"


So we took a sample of the water to our local aquarium, and they reckon it's not the water killing the fish. I'm just unlucky (I'll say).


When Fanta died, Pirate was too lonely, staring into the corner of his tank and such. So I got a new fish while we were there. I picked out this grey type fish, with pale gold markings, not unlike those of a tiger. When they were putting him in his 'take home' bag, they added this anti-stress liquid to the water. For the threeodd hours I've had this fish, he's been sitting on the bottom of the tank looking completely stoned.



Now there's this show called The Wire that I watch. And one of the drug dealers is called Marlo. Now Marlo is this ultra serious dude, someone you don't cross. I think he's pretty cool. And following the druggy theme, my new fish's name is Marlo.



Marlo, my readers, readers Marlo:

What Is Going On?

Well, Justice is not going to the races on Tuesday or Thursday. As it turns out, he's going to the races next Sunday. Will I get to strap him? Apparently not.

He went and had his 'day out' today. I was too tired and too sore to participate and I have no idea how he coped with standing around all day.

But it is seriously irritating me how some people think I can't handle him. Justice is one of the nicest horses I get to handle, and I'm not about to stop looking after him.

The other girl won't be taking him next sunday, it will be someone else, shouldering in on our turf.

Well, Justice gets his chance to prove he's awesome.

On a more sour note, I start community service tomorrow. Shoot me now. Please, shoot me now!

>.<

I got a new fish today as well. He's nearly the same as Pirate, but he has black patches, he's pretty cool, but I wish I'd stop referring to him as dude!

Straight From the Heart

One of my beloved goldfish died yesterday, and this is straight from my journal.

" The clock says it's nearly 1am, so I'll write for both days as best I can.

Fanta died today. Well he wasn't quite dead when we flished him, but he'll be dead now. He'd been sick for the past two weeks. Or perhaps he'd been sick all of his life. There's been the floating incidents and I realise now that he'd never grown. Pirate is huge now, Fanta was still little.

But these past two weeks, he'd just sink. I said it to Mum and she suggested he was just having a bad day. He never got better.

When I got home from the movies yesterday, he was on his side. I really thought he would die last night, but I woke up this (yesterday) morning, and he was still there. It didn't quite hit me til an hour ago. I wanted him to die. It sounds horrible but he was so sick, he got stck in the plants, could barely move. So Mum flushed him for me"

Bye for now but not forever,
