Fish

So awhile back me and my boyfriend decided it would be a good idea to get fish. I am deprived from pets at my house so i was thrilled. When we got to Petsmart the worker told us that the only type of fish we could get that would be guaranteed to live would be a beta fish. That all sounded fine and dandy except that we wouldn't be able to get two of them :(

If you don't know this, beta fish will fight if two male (the pretty ones) fish are in the same tank. They'll fight until death. To me this just seems odd. But hey, their brains are pretty teeny. Anyways, the worker showed us a little tank that would hold two beta fish because it has a plastic divider down the middle. Perfect! So we proceeded in buying our fish and naming them Harmony (mine) and Thunder (carters).

Its quite funny because even though its been months, the fish still try to break through the plastic divider and fight each other. Sometimes when theres nothing to do i'll just sit by my fish and watch them try to fight. I thought that after awhile our fish would just get over it and learn to tolerate each other. I was wrong. The reason we got two in the first place if because we wanted our fish to have a friend! Again, i was wrong.

I love being alone, but i definitely could not tolerate a life full of alone-ness.

so theres my fish. a very important and time-consuming part of my life. obviously.
