one of my leopard geckos is dying. hes albino and been blind for some time. for a few months now, his eyes are completely sealed shut, and he cant shed. we had to feed him by hand for a while, but now he refuses to eat and drink. hes so skinny he cant hold his own head up, and it just flails around when he tries to move. im shocked he was dead yesterday. i know its just a lizard, but its still sad to see him suffer. but theres nothing i can do. yet the old one, jenkins, hes 7 years old, and hes a damn champ. as fat and alert as ever. just sad to see an animal suffer.

im not back back. ill post now and then.

geckos are cool. i think the best part of owning reptiles and amphibians is building and creating an ecosystem for them. my terrarium is like a small forest. its cool. i used to own old world chameleons as well. THOSE were awesome. best pet thats not a real pet EVER.

years ago, i had newts, and that was the coolest terrarium i ever made. it had running water, moss EVERYWHERE, sapling maple trees... it looked like a mini temperate woodland.

That's so cool. When I was a kid my brother and I had a bunch of toads that we caught and put them in a terrarium. It wasn't as good as the one you made, but it was still so much fun.

well, i found him dead this morning. upside down. he must have died recently, he was still warm to the touch (though he was near the head pad) and he wasnt stiff, he was also upside down. i wonder if he is still barely, and i mean barely alive. if he is though, hes not responding to anything. going to bury him in a minute. i feel relieved he passed as he had been suffering a while now.

I do believe I'm going to San Francisco for a week or so over the summer to scope it out as a potential place to reside in/near after school. It's been on my radar for years and I'd like to either confirm or reject it as a concrete possibility. It certainly has enough problems to afford me ample job opportunity in the areas I'm leaning toward lol.



That sounds awesome. I'm going to get a rat or two when I move off campus this summer and get a legitimate life of my own that isn't in a campus apartment that doesn't allow pets outside of fish (which are cool if you can have an actual aquarium, but acquiring everything necessary for that is costly), but I've also been considering getting a snake at some point down the road. They're expensive, but I know someone with a python, and she's beautiful. I like non-traditional pets/pets that aren't really pets a lot. More like I really like animals because I still want traditional pets, too. When I was little I wanted a chimpanzee (a young one; I did research even as a child and knew they got dangerous after a decade or so lol), a dog, and a goat.

i really want a snake, but not just any snake. a cobra. i almost bought one at a grand rapids pet store a few years ago. something about a cobra is so cool. they look harmless, then BAM! hoods out, and you realize... ohhhhh shi--

but i decided against it when i realized that i like to hold stuff, and holding a cobra is just driving to my grave above the speed limit. i do enough dumb stuff as it is. dont risk it further.

Just got my daughters first report card from kindergarten...Straight A's...I couldn't be more proud right now

Wow, gee... Thanks mom. Thanks for donating my favorite winter coat without my permission. It's not like it was relatively new (bought it last year). And it's not like I bought it at a boutique so I won't be able to replace it. And it's not like it was my favorite fucking coat, did I mention that? Did I already mention that she just donated it without fucking asking me?

Maybe I sound ungrateful and selfish right now... But I donate my clothes all the time throughout the year. So it's not like I never donate clothing or anything. But jesus, I am entitled to want to keep some articles of clothing. Especially when it was an awesome winter coat that I bought last year that kept me warm and I got compliments on it every time I wore it.

Would it be a dick move to go to the Goodwill tomorrow and ask for it back? If they still have it, that is.

Hockey Night in Buffalo

I went to the midnight showing of HP6, and basically, I've never read the books but I've been keeping up with the movies and really enjoy them... Anyway, there was a boatload of similarities between that movie and LOTR. I was sitting there like ummm... Also Dobby was my favorite character. lol

This is the first time since I was a freshman that I've been back at my place of residence before 1:00 in the morning.

Honestly it wouldn't be, go down their and just explain that your mom donated it without asking you and you really loved that jacket. They should understand, if not, be like I'm never donating again and take it back anyways. :p

I'm sure they would understand the misunderstanding there.

If it's at the goodwill just go and buy it back...they get their donation and you get your coat back.

Getting to my parents'/grandparents' house near Albany for Thanksgiving is going to be a pain involving two different days of travel, but I am glad because I get to spend a last night in the house where I lived for nine years. And in WNY period. Something tells me I will make only four or five more visits there throughout the rest of my life, if that.

It is pretty sweet that that house is staying in the family, though. It's been around since the 1840s. I'm also going to take advantage of visiting them and creep on where I lived in my childhood, even if I can't actually see anything but the beginning of the road/driveway and the big stone pillars at the end because it's a private drive. I don't really care for that area because it's like living in a fishbowl albeit beautiful, but I would live in that specific place someday anyway.

Also listening to The Joshua Tree is fun. I'm twelve again!
