| So I'm watching my angels as they begin their pre-spawning ritual today, which mostly involves the male bullying the female, pushing her to lay eggs; it starts off as little pecks and eventually over the next hours/days will evolve into him locking mouths with her and dragging her over to his chosen egg-laying site (which actually sounds cute here on the page but in reality it is more violent than it sounds...) .........and she struggles as always, because she isn't ready yet- I can see how slim she still is, no eggs in her belly and no breeding tube dropping down. Boy, I can relate to this....haha j/k j/k. When she is finally ready, they will continue bickering over where to put the eggs, but eventually the male will win, he always does. (good thing too, female is not too sensible when it comes to that. last time she wanted to put them on the filter intake tube!) I always watch, completely fascinated , no matter how many times they go through this...these little fish are so different from us humans, yet they are the same. They fight, get mad at each other, give the cold shoulder and then kiss and make up. Great fun to watch.
Anyway, that was about it for now..

| I didn't know this was a 'fashion crime' until today. For the record, I've worn polish on my toenails like 3 times in my life. I randomly came across some thread in some forum about this... then I of course had to ask Google what the heck is wrong with bare toenails??? Thinking it must just be those people in the first thread that I found. Nope!
I just don't get it. If you ask me, and no offense to anyone who uses polish, but I personally think nails whether on the fingers or toes, look SO much better without any polish unless it's clear. Maybe that's because I was able to grow up without the stuff and my judgment isn't clouded by a life-time of conditioning (regarding nail polish in particular, that is.) I was homeschooled, you know.
I'm having such a hard time wrapping my head around this at all.

| I
No longer fit,
In it
My life that is,
Or my clothes
Or my brain.
The way things are- or were?
Continues to complain
As my ways transform,
My body shrinks
Thinking expands.
Routines crash,
Jeans deform,
Mind blinks.
Yet,
And,
I,
Keep Stretching On,
New Horizons, New Me.

So life keeps changing, Well, that is I keep changing and faster than life can manage to keep up with. At least, that's how I feel today. I could be wrong, tomorrow maybe I'll see things differently. That's the trouble. Maybe that's my problem? Can't very well focus on one thing at a time.
Anyway, None of my Jeans fit anymore, well a couple do but they're not pants just 1 pair of shorts & 1 capri... yo I'm down to size 6, pretty awesome yes? The shorts are yellow denim and I got them a few days ago and I Love Them. ...ANYWAY, (I get off subject so easily.) While losing weight is sorta awesome, it also kinda sucks at the same time because it's REALLY annoying to not have anything that fits but you can't go and buy a bunch of stuff until you've settled down at your ideal size. GAH!
Have I said that we now have a totally awesome saltwater tank? Yes it is awesome. We have some pretty neat bunches of soft corals that OMG! afj;dka;jfeiwajf;! started propagating a couple days ago! Meaning, producing new polyps! That is, they should pretty much continue to do so, it's just that before a few days ago they were obviously still adjusting to their new tank and recovering from the move-in, so now I'm so fjidojfiwojaio;fjeawfjew excited!!!!! about it because well, this means we're taking good care of them(it's our first try at saltwater) :) And not to mention the tiny polyps are ADORABLE!!!
No shampoo was 'working' great, I went cold turkey water-only about 3 months ago & it's been about a month since my scalp adjusted & quit producing excess oil, can't say I really liked the texture though & today I tried washing with mild hand soap (yeah, it had Sodium lauryl sulfate but quite considerably less than shampoo) and I'm digging the results. So that's awesome too.
Also, I like bananas.

| Oceans of people can rush along by
Yet I
Stand wondering
Why?
Why do I live in terror
Fear of other minds-
Always awake to the words
That float along everywhere
Words in mouth and mind
of Those who scoff and stare
Why do I care?
Blizzards of laughter can leave me behind-
Why do I sigh?
To bid goodbye to
Crowds of vultures,
Pits of serpents.
Better to be alone, it's true?
But there are you,
Swept away in the midst of them
Away. | | |
| Slowly go
Into that state of abysmal
Treachery
Eat my heart,
Go ahead
Tear it so maliciously apart.
Make me writhe,
Poison my mind with hot
Uncertainty
Make me heave,
Make me swell
So bad I'll wish I had the nerve to leave.
-Me
