I love things that make me feel nerdy and this is the augment of nerdiness.



Hurr ♥

OH GOD SOMEONE SAVE ME!!!!

IT'S COMING BACK!!! THAT... THAT AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

AKUROKU!!! DAMNIT 358/2!!! DON'T FEED MY AKUROKU!!!!

I DON'T WANT TO GET BACK INTO THAT HORRENDOUS FANDOM!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~!!!

So I kinda died.

Work has been KILLING me. All I do is go to work then come back home and crash... My room is a mess, the laundry is piling up, my fish tanks are behind in maintenance and I forget to feed my rats on some days. The worst part is I know this isn't the tip of the iceberg because Christmas hasn't even rolled around the corner yet.

Although the only nice thing is that I'm no longer technically a "cashier". They bumped me to floor staff, but to be honest? I'm basically still a cashier but not by name anymore. At least not always stuck on first cash (meaning I HAVE to be on cash). I mean, when I was a cashier they'd tell me I was on first cash and then a manager would be like "fill the register lanes and do candy" and I'm like "lol, I CAN'T." and they'd be like "do it anyways." Now it's "fill the register lanes and do candy, oh and jump on cash whenever you're needed." >_> And some days like yesterday it's "fill the register lanes and do candy, jump on cash whenever you're needed, oh and fill the plush section if you can." So... STRESSFUL? Y/Y

QQ...

My fish are doing good though, I had a minor incident with the girls where Kyu jumped into Nya's half of the tank and attacked her, but I've since long solved the problem and Nya is completely healed up.

The boys are okay too... Shota's fin rot is a LOT better. He had a minor attack today (because I haven't had time to clean his water... Dx baw... But I cleaned it up and it doesn't look like it's progressing anymore.) but before than, he hasn't had a problem for more than a month! His tail is growing out beautifully again and I'm very happy :)

Aros has been a weird case, he gets fin rot from stress O_o... and medicine doesn't help him at all! I've tried everything from Maracyn+Maracyn-two to tetracycline and penicillin, but none of it helped. I went to Big Als and a lady there who apparently is a huge betta fanatic told me just to treat him with clean water because sometimes that will do the trick...

But the problem is whenever I try and change his water, he gets stressed out and it gets worst! I've been trying to find a way to clean his tank without taking him out, but it's been tough since I have to make sure I take the water and gunk out slowly without disturbing him too much, and then add the water without disturbing him too much as well :/ Stupid Prince-fish, xD I've nicknamed him that. He's a bloody prince! xD So much royal treatment...

But I managed to change a bit of his water last night successfully without stressing him out too much, I'm probably going to change another portion of his water tonight, since there's still a large quantity of gunk at the bottom of his tank I wasn't able to get... He's healing up very slowly though. It's a bit sad that even BettaFix doesn't help his fin regrowth even though it's supposed to.

I've ordered some fish vitamins that are suppose to improve a fish's immune system though, I hope to get it soon. :) I'm sure it'll help my boys, the reviews I read said it was a trustworthy product.

And other than that... Figurine wise, I haven't gotten in that many. I actually just got the 1/6 Kotobukiya Yoko today and I was very VERY impressed! I'd take pictures but I lack the room... aka clothing everywhere. ): Gotta clean my room... sigh...

Speaking of room, I don't even have room to stick figurines anymore. I stupidly took Yoko out of her package, and she's kinda sitting dangerously close to the edge of my shelf. But I couldn't resist )':

But now I gotta pay like... $600 since I'm probably going to get hit with the bill to pay for the GSC Lily Saber this month and then 4 other big preorders next month (World is Mine Miku figure, Toward the Terra Jomy and Solider Blue figure, Tetsuwan Birdy Decode Birdy Cephon Altera figure and Black Rock Shooter figure). I know they're probably going to be some delays, but I wanna get them out of the way now >.<;; before the stress me out more later. Especially with Christmas coming up, I'd rather not be struggling to pay for figurines and Christmas presents.

Anyway, that's all D: I'll try and write again... bawww.... assuming I don't die.

*hurls*

On another note: Oh hay Iron Man anime

SHOTA HAS FIN ROT AGAIN.

WHAT HORRIBLE TIMING!! ;______; I'm leaving for Edmonton in like, two days! I won't be able to take care of him properly, I'm so upset right now...

Not to mention it's MUCH worst than last time! He only developed a couple of holes last time, this time his whole tail is getting shredded! T______T I treated it ASAP last night too when I noticed only a few holes... )': why did it come to this?!

I... I don't know what to do... I don't want him to die...

SO, my fish are getting better :3

Shota is at the end of his treatment period (I bought Maracyn-two for his bacterial fin rot) and so is Kyu (luckily she's using the same thing, although I don't know if it really worked but I've seen an improvement in her condition. She's actually eating something now, although she's a REALLY picky eater. She won't eat flakes, won't eat pellets (so giving her medicated pellets is a problem...) and will only eat worms 8| but she more or less sucks their insides out and leaves their hollow skin... which is kinda creepy. Sometimes she won't eat at all and just look at the food and leave. But I'm just waiting to see if her feces turns normal and see that she has a regular appetite, and I'm sure that would be a good sign that she's all in good health.

Shota is pretty much going insane from boredom. He has too much energy and not enough room to swim around in his tiny hospital tank... He has weird spazzy dances when I lean forward to say 'hi' to him from inside his hospital tank. It's like he's screaming "Let me out!" T_T two more days buddy, two more days. I just gotta make sure his fin rot doesn't come back. But once in a while I lift the paper that seperates his tank from Kyu's so he can see her and he gets all excited and happy and builds a bubble nest to impress her xD It's cute. Kyu doesn't care much for it though lolol.

Also, a friend kinda admitted his betta fish into my Fish Hospital, as it were. He's got really bad fin rot (half his caudal fin, or tail is gone ;_;) and seems really lethargic. But I've seen a little improvement in his condition since I got him since he seems to have more energy. :3 I ordered some proper medicine to help him combat the bacteria for his fin rot (ampicillin), so all i gotta do is make sure he gets healthy so he can heal quickly on his own. At least he's eating which is a good thing =v=b

I've been doing salt baths for all of them too and that has helped lots too :3

Aaaand I bought another fish. Another female betta... SHE'S SO CUTE! I named her Nya, because I seriously lack creativity and she's just too adorable for any other name. She's white, pink and purple, AND SUPER TINY! She's like... Not even an inch in length. >v< and so curious and energetic. She eats like a pig! I'm so afraid of overfeeding I'm thinking about taking her meal times down to one a day. I love her lots though :3 she's swimming in Shota's tank right now D: so as soon as he gets better, I gotta move her to a smaller container until I know Kyu is better... and then I'll probably have to keep them seperated when i put them together in the same since I don't know if they'll get a long or not.

>.> I want to try making a sorority tank, but I heard it's hard >.<;; but so far all the cases I've read of so far have used females from pet stores that don't treat their fish well. I got Kyu from a pet store but Nya from a tiny aquarium store I found that takes good care of their fish. I'll try and condition them to each other before I put them in the same tank, and then keep a good eye on them to make sure they don't fight. but I'll also need to buy more plants and hiding places Dx. Although they both don't exhibit any violent behaviour, so I can't tell =v=;;

Anyways enough about fish.

Today I did something super lame.

;_; I bought beyblades on ebay. FML. BUT I COULDN'T HELP MYSEEELFFFFF. <3 BEYBLAAADEEE.

...I wants to draw fanart =3=''

Although other than that, work is being stressful. Well, on top just family drama and friend drama... they put me on first cash which is stupid because one of my managers has given me the responiblity to take care of a bunch of sections in the store. And it makes it REALLY hard to manage them when I'm on first cash and she always bothers me about it when I wasn't able to get them done. 8| On top of that, customers are always constant pricks and like to make me feel worst and more stressed out by treating me like trash, and well I get that enough from my family and everyone else... so it's a very unwelcome feeling.

Pretty much just taking care of my fish is what keeps me sane.

Anyway, gotta go to sleep so I can wake up early to take care of zee fish =v=

Lol I keep disappearing ): sorry. It has been busy times, busy times.

Anyway, I bought another fish lol. This time a female betta fish. Someone told me they're a lot of fun so I just had to get one, especially when I saw like 6 of them in one tiny little fish bowl at the pet store! D:< WTF!

Seriously, female betta are still territorial and aggressive like males! They're not called "Siamese fighting fish" for nothing. Anyway, I saved one of the smaller females since she was at the bottom of the bowl and the bigger ones were picking on the smaller ones ):

I haven't named her yet though... Although I'm thinking Kyu. Just because I keep going "Cuuute!" because she's cute and all and well, cute, kyute. lol fail. Been keeping her in a small tank because I just set up her fancy 25l (6-something gallon) fish tank and I still think I have to wait a day till I'm able to put her in since my father lied about having a tank heater and the water is just way too cold at the moment. Hopefully it'll warm up some.

I'm just a little worried cause she hasn't eatten anything yet T_T; I've tried giving her some of every kind of food I have! The little bead kinda food, dried worms and flakes... But still no luck ): So yeah, a little worried. I know they usually don't eat when they're introduced to a new enviroment, but if I introduce her to her new tank i'm afraid she won't eat for an even longer time... ;^;' it'll be three days tomorrow.

But I can't wait to put her in! :'D I still got to buy some more decorations since there's not nearly enough hiding places for her. So I'm going to a local aquarium store called Fish Tail probably next weekend (when I have money) I also want to get something called black water extract cause it's supposed to contain natural acids that are found in the beta's native home and it'll help with my extremely basic water ): and I don't want to support crappy pet stores when it comes to actual aquarium nessessities anymore, I just got her tank and stuff because PetCetra is going out of business and I got her tank at $45ish when it was nearly $100 |3 Fufufufu. It's a really nice tank, came with a filter and everything! It's just huge. My desk is like xD taken over.

I'm thinking about getting her some fish mates too since I think I have more than enough room for at least one.

Mmm but yeah. Enough fish talk lol, my friend thinks I'm going to become a crazy fish lady xD!

Other than that, life has been stressful >.< I'm so exhausted... 

I hope mah f-list is doing well :) I'll try and get back into the way of things soon I hope ;^; take care!
