Feb. 12th, 2008 @ 01:28 pm No!!!
Currently, I'm: disappointed
Giant peppered coydoras died today, I really don't know what to think. The Ph is really high in our water, we're using Ph Reducer right now, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Sid and Rei are still eating and swimming around, but I'm still doing a weeks' treatment with Pimafix. The school of serpae tetras, headed by Coop and Remer, are perfectly fine. The little serpae's are even growing. I'm thinking about giving Aries to Critters, but we'll see. The shark tank and Drix' tank are fine, the onyl other fish suffering right now is Pedro....we're treating his dropsy and the open wound, but he's not eating and his scales are quite pine-coned.

I'm going to go play Evil Dead: Reanimated now and kill some deadites to get my mind off of things.

Love and Peace out.

Feb. 11th, 2008 @ 05:20 pm My insecure mind at work Part 2 - Some Answers
Currently, I'm: discontent
I think I'm missing the way things used to be to too much of an extent. I'm not clinging onto the past so much as I saw things differently a few months ago than I do now; things seemed to be getting better, but the past while has just been making me question what I thought I knew so well. I know one part of it IS just my own insecurities, but there are some questions that I would really like answers too. But no, I won't ask them now.

I'm going to post my schedule every week now, so if you're even wondering what I'm working, it'll be up here I promise. So, here's this weeks' and next weeks' ( schedule. )

I don't feel like writing anything more right now, so I'm going to leave it at this. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, because, maybe I am just going crazy after all, guys :P

Love and Peace out.

Ps -Pedro got dropsy, and I don't think he's going to make it.

Feb. 11th, 2008 @ 03:14 pm My insecure mind at work Part 1- Questions
Currently, I'm: uncomfortable
Sometimes, I'm too nervous thinking about all of the possiable answers I could get, that I don't ask the question at all. But it still lingers there at the back of my mind caught in a whirl-wind of scenarios; an unanswered "Why?" and my own insecurities musing over the possiable reason(s) as to why this happened. I'll wait for an answer (to the question I've never asked), I mean, it should be so obvious, in some situations, that I (or anyone) should expect an answer or some kind or reasoning to why this did or didn't happen. And then I feel awkward; maybe they expect me to ask for an explaination, and when I didn't, I appeared to be rude or un-caring as to why things happened the way they did.

Maybe I am the one at fault here.....maybe, I'm the reason that things turned out the way they did. Am I so socially inept that I don't even see these social faux-pas that I'm so apparently brushing aside? Have I crossed some kind of unforgiving line? Am I caring too much or too little about how people see me?......How do people see me? Am I asking too much for people to accept me the way I am? Do I need to reach out to people more often, because shouldn't my friends know how deeply I care for them?

I'm really starting to think I need out of the apartment more.

Feb. 8th, 2008 @ 10:04 am A drip, drip, dripping by my door....
Currently, I'm: cynical
So I woke up at 9am this morning to the sound of dripping water. My first thought was "Holy shit, did one of the tanks crack?!", but no, thankfully I was wrong on that part. The neighbors on the left hand side of us left one of their sinks running when they left early this morning, and it plugged. It started dripping just in the laundry room, just outside our door. I moved all of the boxes, except the christmas fake tree that belonged to my grandmother, it was already soaked through the box. I grabbed buckets and our landlords' number and frantically started calling, and by this time, we had bubbles in the bathroom ceiling. By the time our poor landlord got here, I had good dripping going in the bathroom and a tiny drip had just started in the reptile room by Jesus' tank. Thankfully, clean-up has started now, and I can stop having a complete freak out. Dev, sadly, has yet to come home from UPEI to find the bathroom destroyed and our room filled with damp boxes.

.....If my nerves were any more shot right now, I'd be putting sedatives in my green tea iced tea. Hopefully, the day will only get better from here; though by the looks of my schedule tonight, the only joy I'll get will be from seeing Meet the Spartans tomorrow night with friends.

Love and Peace out.

Kami is sick, and I'm not sure if he's going to make it through this. He was fine up until I got the new serpae tetras, and bnow the water perimeters are all wonky, to add to my situation. I'll do a water change tomorrow, he's already being medicated.

Jan. 26th, 2008 @ 03:05 am 27 fresh water fish!
Currently, I'm: cheerful
So changing tanks went pretty much without a hitch, Frank the I.D shark being the biggest pain in the ass to get into a bag (then he poked holes in the bags...and was stored in a 1 gallon for the half hour). No one got too stressed out, and everyone ate and was quite happy tonight. Tonight three new fish were added to the tanks: Giant peppered corydoras, and one bronze corydoras to the 20 gallon serpae tetra/corydoras tank, and one red finned shark added to the shark tank. Everyone is getting along well, and tomorrow a new filter will be added to the 20 gallon tank.

I've named the red finned shark Asher.....I still don't know what to name the two corys.

Well, 'tis late. I'll leave it at thi for now.

Love and Peace out.

Jan. 24th, 2008 @ 01:12 am Back to my old ways
Currently, I'm: thankful
So Rachelle and I had a grand day out today, getting hair dye for me and hanging out. I need to hang out with people more....I get to see some of my friends usually.......once a month. How seriously lame is that? I'm trying to go on MSN more often now, try to keep holding me to it ok guys? I'm off this weekend, finally, which I also get only once a month. And now, apparently the schedule is going to change AGAIN and I'm going to be working "a lot of nights" in my managers' own words. Hopefully not, hopefully not.

So now I am a carrot top, Rachelle bleached my hair first, so I am a BRIGHT carrot top. But I really liked how it turned out, better than the first orange I had in my hair by a thousand. And this dye seems a lot less harder on my hair than the streaking kits were. I'll get some pictures up as soon as I get my camera back from mom....y'know, you don't really know how much you use a camera until you don't have one anymore.

Got the new 25 gallon here now, wooot! Upgrading after work (technically today, since it's 1am). Giant peppered corydoras (who needs a name) and friends (bronze cordoras) will be introduced on Friday or Saturday, also when I will try and order the butterfly loaches that I was talking about quite a while ago. It's a good three hours work to upgrade the tanks, but it's worth it. Also, Twitch had on of his pectoral fins almost completely taken off. Him and Roper are The Gimps now lol. Wow, that sounds so horriable.

Anyways, I'm off to bed before this headache gets any worse.

Love and Peace out.

Jan. 16th, 2008 @ 11:07 pm Update of doom
Currently, I'm: productive
So first off I would like to say I need to spend more time with my friends. And I'm sorry if it seems like I've been a hermit, but I really do have to work a lot. Now I want to go out so much more, and I've suddenly gotten really interested in playing pool again. I played a few games with Chris and Rachelle on Monday, and now I want to play more. I also have gotten addicted to taro milk tea from Formosa. Chris left yesterday for Alberta, and my mother is also out there for another week visiting her brothers and sister. Wade and I are having a movie night tomorrow, and I'll be spending the night there to keep him and Honey company.

I'm really interested in getting plated lizards, but we don't really have the room right now. That, and I'm finally upgrading the tanks next Thursday. The 5 gallon will become a guppy breeding tank, the 5 gallon occupants will be moved into the 20 gallon, and the "shark tank" 20 gallon occupants will be moved into a new 25 gallon. I already have purchased a corydoras from Critters for the new 20 gallon.....a HUGE peppered cory(twice the size of my corys, the smae breed as Kami) who was a rescue for $18. He has a couple of battle scars, but he's really awesome. I'll be getting only two bronze corys as well, so Sid will have some of the same company as well. And I also hear of a syndontis joining my buddies soon? *grins*

I'm also excited to actually be able to get to the cottage this Sunday after work, it's killed me not to be able to go. And on Wednesday next week, Rachell will be doing my hair (which will be completely awesome). So brace yourselves, I can hardly wait!

Well, I'm off for the night.

Love and Peace out.

PS- Lexis loves green pepper!

Jan. 3rd, 2008 @ 02:48 pm New Years' Statements
Currently, I'm: contemplative
Music: Lollipop By Mika
Here is a list of things I just felt should be written out; some things that I just felt needed to be read and aknowledged by soemone other than myself.

I enjoy my job, and the day I stop enjoying it is when I will stop working there. I'm still here because I want ot be here, not because I have to be.

I think I've changed, for the better. But there are things I need to do more often. I need to go to the cottage more often, and spend more time around my friends. Sometimes it feels like I've turned so anti-social, and I wonder if I'm the one to blame. But I need to go online more often, and make more plans. And post my schedule more often, a lot more often.

I need to eat healthier, and walk to where I want to go a lot more. Sometimes, especially with this winter weather, it's a lot more difficult to do this, but eating healhier isn't. The bottom line is, I need to lose some weight. I've set a goal for myself, and at least it's a start to cut back on thisgs I used to eat in mass quanties.

....I'm not going to go to Anime North this year. I haven't told Cameron or any of the group yet, and I already paid for my registration. A lot of things have changed since I said I would go, including how much time I could get off, or if I could get any time in May off at all. We're losing a full time person that month, and a part time. I'm still worried how Cameron will take this, but I will go next year, I've promised this to myself. Because I need to experience it, and next year is looking a lot less clouded than this one.

I need to get a better bed, so I can sleep better at night. It's getting rediculous. I also need to get the shark tank upgraded this month, and put up the rest of the wall scrolls, posters, and shelves. I need to get the rest of my figures put up.

That's it for now, I'll probably update tonight after work.

Love and Peace out.

Comment on this post and I will pick seven of your interests. You then explain them in your journal and re-post.

New years' eve is here, Christmas seems like a dream from a long time ago. Got lots of things I wasn't expecting, but I love all the same. This post isn't really much of anything, but I thought the interest thing was pretty different for an LJ questionaire type thing. Still need to upgrade the shark tank, need to clean out the anole's tank (Yeah, the eggies didn't make it in this batch), and I found a new reptile I'm really interested in: the yellow throated plated lizard. Fish are all good and healthy, well, except Queenie....but seriously, the only time she is healthy is when she's druged up the fish-hole with Maracide or Coppersafe. Of course more delicate medications won't work on her, God forbid. By Jan.13, Drix will be 3 years old, so come visit him in the 25 gallon and wish him good health and prosperity for 2008. Ying will also be 3 years old in February, followed by Leiko and Sid.

Well that's it for tonight. Mon, Har, I'll see you well, today I suppose since it is New Years' Eve now.

Love and Peace out.

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

Last Saturday I turned [info]roddimusprime in for tearing the tag off a mattress (3 points). Last Wednesday I pushed [info]kaikenp in the mud (-17 points). In August I pulled over and changed [info]viper69's flat tire (15 points). In June I saved a busload of nuns in Angola (326 points). In November I gave [info]reoku a Dutch Oven (-10 points).

Overall, I've been nice (317 points). For Christmas I deserve a Lego set!

Sincerely,
bluefish666

Dec. 10th, 2007 @ 11:46 pm Skin of Lexis
Currently, I'm: calm
I like how Lexis sheds in parts; how the cracking brown peeling skin shows you the contrast between it and the bright, fresh skin underneith. Some people might think I'm too easily amused, but I find this generally intriguing. Her creamy orange and white tones never really show up in the pictures I take, it's rather frustrating.

Yep, this update was all about my hypo snow/orange sandfire bearded dragon Lexis, and her skin sheding/coloration.

Love and Peace out.

Music: Any dream will do By Donny Osmond
SO, the days are flying by with work and I'm becoming more and more excited about the up coming holidays. I've gotten most of my Christmas shopping done, and by Wednesday I should be able to finish it all off; getting it out of the way and off of my mind.

My work owners' are giving us a Christmas dinner on the 18th, probally at The Inn on the Hill, but hey, I'm not complaining. We're gong to be having it with Montague KFC's staff this year, which should prove to be interesting. Like I told Trevor.G, I could just see them saying "Why do we have to eat with the staff from Stratford KFC?! Haven't you heard the stories?! They're so weird!" Well, it's better to be quirky than dull, right? Right.

Well I better be going now, I've got tanks to do and I still have to eat before work.

Love and Peace out.
