James' Fish

A while ago I had fish. I went through three fish in a very short time frame. I have come to accept that I just cannot have fish. The first, died so horrifically I decided I should get goldfish. Because you cannot kill goldfish. Well, I can. Two of them.

So we have one fish. James' fish. It's one of those fighting fishies that is male and is blue. Mine, the one who died horrifically, was a pretty pink. Of course.

He is almost a year old. August he will officially celebrate an entire year of living with us. I hope that I don't jinx the fish.

Anyway.

So, because I have an iMac now [which on a side note is completely fricken awesome and I love the sexy machine that it is!] it needs to sit on something, like other than my lap. So it sits on our 2x4 expedit until we can get a desk. Which I hope is soon, because comfy this is not.

And on the expedit sits his fish.

Right next to where my iMac sits.

Picture painted for you? Good.

Before I continue, let me tell you a story of way back when we first got our fishies. James said that his was more awesome than mine. I kinda agreed, especially since mine had just decided to get stuck in the rocks and drown. He would swim expectantly to the top of the bowl, as if he was waiting for you to feed him.

There were times when I would walk over and he would swim up to the top and I would ask "Didn't he feed you yet?" and, here is the best bit, he would swim side to side as if he was shaking his head. Believe me if I could have caught it on video, I would have.

Anyway, so fast forward a few months to now.

I sit here, typing this now and he is staring at me. The fish is fucking swimming still, looking at me. When I glance over he swims away, acting like he wasn't doing anything, when I know exactly what he was doing.

If I get close enough to the glass, the bastard starts flaring his gills, like he is ready to fight me. Moron. Seriously.

So I may growl back at him. Which could be why he keeps doing these things. But it's a little funny to think that he thinks he could take me on when I could squish him with my hand.

In light of all this, I do not think he is as awesome as I originally did.

I Miss Blogging

Life has a funny habit of getting in the way.

I make all these promises to myself that I will be a better blogger. That I will find the time and write all these amazing posts that I have swirling around my head, but I don't. I am beginning to wonder if it is because I need to sit and write them on the mac. I don't like the apps that you can use, believe me, I have tried them all and I don't like any of them.

Which is why I think I am so addicted to my tumblr blog. It is so easy to access on my phone and has become a little part of my social media checking. It isn't that different to the web version either.

I want to say that I will be back tomorrow and that I will blog, but you all know how bad I am at sticking to things. So, let's just call it what it will be.

I will be back sometime this week, mainly because I miss blogging and I miss the community that I had. I feel like I have lost it. Especially on social media. I honestly feel like I am just talking to myself on there. I remember when I first started using twitter and I would be on there most of the night.

Could just be me. Maybe I am not as likeable as I think. Maybe people find me annoying.

Who knows? Not me.

Currently

Each week, I want to recall the finer details as lately the weeks just seem to mesh together and the days are moving by at such a fast pace. I want to thank Danielle and Cosmo for the inspiration behind this post.

WATCHING;

The other night I watched 'Stoker'. I liked it, left me guessing. I am yet to watch 'The Place Beyond The Pines' but it looks like it will be a good movie.

LOVING;

James. Not only did he sleep on the lounge a few nights this week because I was sick. He took care of me by getting me tissues or medicine when I needed it. Sweet. 

LISTENING TO;

'It's Time' by Radioactive. My new favourite.

READING;

Belinda's reports for work. Submissions for what you would shout from the rooftops. I have received one beautifully written submission already. Why not add yours!

EATING;
What I want. Sure most of it is healthy, but not all of it is. I have decided that whilst it is important to be healthy, there will be times when I want a treat. In those times, I will have a treat damnit!

FOLLOWING;

Instructions. I have to read instructions and follow them. I believe all hell will break loose if I don't. 

CLICKING ON;

Tumblr. A lot. I had used tumblr ages ago, but I just love it at the moment, and is definitely a place for inspiration and motivation for me! This morning I received an 'ask' and my goodness, you could not wipe the smile off my face!

MAKING ME SMILE;

My new iMac. I seriously cannot stop staring at it. Best. Purchase. Ever. But because we don't have an extra desk at the moment, it is sitting on the expedit cubes. Not very comfy and means that I sit next to James' fighting fish. I don't think the fish likes me. When I stare at him, I growl and make a not-so-sexy face and he flares his gills. Oops.

LOOKING FORWARD TO;

Seeing the results at the end of 12WBT. If my four week progress is anything to go by, I am seriously looking forward to the end!

SAVING FOR;

New clothes, because eventually the ones that I have will not fit me.

OUTRAGED BY;

This flu that I managed to catch. After almost a week on antibiotics, I am still not feeling 100%. Ugh.

THINKING ABOUT;

What I posted on facebook last night on Sunny and Sparkles; "I feel like a change is coming. I feel like every decision I have ever made was a great one. I feel like I am bursting with excitement right now. I am definitely all sparkles."

PLANNING FOR;

When we get a bigger apartment. I mentioned it yesterday and since my brain hasn't stopped thinking about all the things we could do with an extra room!

WAITING FOR;
Tax time. I want to treat James since he let me buy my iMac early. Just hopefully I don't lose too much to HECS.

p.s. I cut my hair the other night. I really shouldn't have done that.
