Welcome to Gaia! ::

You'd like a car, a-and a deeeer, but they don't play well with each other. sad Don't think too much about it, you'll have the car in a little while. smile

Netflix is pretty great, but everybody gets cabin fever--the real kind of cabin fever, not the Jack-Nicholson-hungry-dog kind, though. I hate not going out a lot, but thank god for the internet.

Nephew's cool, car will live. I'm searching salvage yards next week for a rear tail light to replace the bad one.

Yay fishies, by the way. What kind do you have??

I used to have 2 betas, but they've passed. I stick to the fluffy things.

Emeraldisdead has like twelve cichlids and they're fun to watch when we're hanging out. They change color when they're pissed, so sometimes more fun to watch than TV.

Just bought a new iPod classic! Woot! It's only got 120g, but my old MP3 was only 20g so in way I'm really, really upgrading. My old MP3 player's software became obsolete with the upgrade to Vista and I found it a pain in the a** to try and coax my old/dying computer into running for more than fifteen minutes in order to put music on. Of course when I wanted to transfer the bulk of my music library I had to go through the same process and THEN transfer it to my external hard drive, then to my computer, then to iTunes. The whole of the process took about three hours. But did I mention I got a shiny new iPod?

It's the pretty matte black one. But I ended up buying a case for it because the back is so shiny and shows fingerprints like crazy. This bother me. My shiny computer does the same and I am constantly wiping it down with to remove the offending fingerprints. Must have clean electronic devices! The case is of course Crimson red. Nice.

I know what you iPod people are thinking, "Why didn't she get the touch?" I've heard this question one too many times and it's starting to frustrate me so here's your answer. I don't want a touch. The touch costs twice as much as the classic. Plus I'm one of those weirdos that likes buttons that you can click. I own a DS (and I'm not upgrading to DSi because you can't play gameboy advanced games) and I play the games that use the buttons more than the games that use the stylus. I don't know....I guess I'm old-school. PS2 rules!


Okay, maybe I have a Wii, but that was a Christmas gift. But I do play it a lot, but I play my PS2 more. Strange.....

I don't mind Vista now that I've figured it out. And turned off some of the more annoying features. My laptop is actually a quite expensive one and works a lot better than my old one. Of course my old one was a Toshiba.

Poor fishies. I used to have beta fish. My mom cleaned the bowl a few times and killed the first two. That's when I told her only I was allowed to clean the bowl. Then one day my beta that I'd had for two years was missing. The bowl wasn't upset, the plant in place and everything. My cat looked very suspicious as she sat in the corner and cleaned herself.

Smart idea. Some fish are just bitches and can't fight for anything. Emerald can't put the cichlids in with any other fish because they'll kiss the poor creature. She had to replace the first sucker fish she put in the tank because the cichlids pecked its' eyes out. The same with the second, so she decided she didn't need to have anymore of those. . . >.>;;; They're like rabbits with sharp, pointy teeth!

They're leaving the snails alone so far (I put a ton of them in the tank and they breed like rabbits). But, anything else would be lunch.

What type of cichlids do you have emerald?

=3 I feed pond snails to my Dwarf Puffers. They go nuts whenever I drop one in and suck them right out of the shell.

Horror Inc.

Emeralds fish are fun to watch late at night, in the dark, while watching a horror movie....or was that The Dark Knight. I don't remember. But they change colours. Kind of like a LSD trip with out the bad side effects.
