Funny war site, Grats to Matt for selling
Funniest shit ever. Well, maybe not... but the funniest thing I've read about the war, besides Dave's away messages.
I actually don't really feel like writing at all... and for the first time, I'm actually not going to write, instead of following that comment with a 4 page entry like I have been doing 
Not that today wasn't eventful... I actually left the house... I just don't feel like fooling with it, even though I have nothing better to do. I'll probably start another Star Wars book, since I finished my first one earlier.
Yay for Matt for selling his account for $355. I helped him in getting that much, and I'm glad it worked out well for him. <3
Difficulty Feeding Cayenne
I just tried feeding Cayenne again... I was relieved at first, because she snapped at it quickly. She struggled to swallow it for quite some time... but ultimately spit it back out. And then, just like yesterday, after she's had a bad experience with the bloodworms, she'll refuse to try it again... if I put the food near her, she'll just swim away from it.
Looks like I have no choice but to contact some local aquariums and see if they have any Daphnia that I can feed her until she gets bigger to comfortably swallow the worms
Bothersome calls
My dad wasn't here this morning (guess he's at another doctor's appointment...) so I wasn't woken up by birds this morning. I usually sleep with my window cracked (Matt got me into the habit of this last November, I think...), so when I hear a bird chirping loudly, closing my window should usually drown out all that noise. But, no... since my father feeds them gallons of birdseed from the backporch (he honestly thinks the birds and squirrels won't have any food if he doesn't do this...), when the birds are done eating, they just perch on the house and wait for more. And, lucky for me... right above my window is a very popular place to sit and perch, and therefore, closing my window doesn't make a damn difference on how loud that bird is. So I have no choice but to lay there, pissed off and awake, until it finally decides to fly away... But at this this morning it didn't happen. First time in more than 2 weeks, I think.
No, this time my father was gone... and it was today my sister decided to call 2 times in the morning, obviously trying to reach my father, which, of course, woke me up. I had been worried that maybe it was Dianna calling, so I actually went to look... but it was just her. Not that I should really be sleeping in as late as I have, but I'm just whiny and it's frustrating and upset just because it's her.
I hope the library calls today... They had told me they would call yesterday on Monday for the axolotl book I reserved. No one seems to be keeping their promises about calling me on certain dates :ehh:
Waiting for a call, Star Wars, Feeding Cayenne
I waited today for Dianna's call about the job, and again she didn't call. It doesn't really bother me that much - she's said over and over that they're very busy now, and I can understand that. I am getting slightly anxious, though... the longer I wait to do something, the less and less momentum I have for doing it. I'm starting to feel myself lose some interest... maybe hoping that she never calls me back, or there was a change of plans and it turns out they didn't have an opening after all. Dianna has assured me that they do, however... they just need Mr. Lee to actually sit down and set in stone when I am to work, and what I will be paid. Stuff like that. I hope when she does call (or when I call her... that's another thing I don't like about her not contacting me first - I'm never quite sure when is s good time to call, because I don't want to hound them and seem desperate. I'm sure they have their reasons for not calling, and I like giving enough time before calling to show that I do respect those reasons) that there's still time to negotiate the days I want off. All this time, I've told her that I can work whatever days, since I don't have a schedule to work around, but yesterday I realized I would like Wednesdays off, since that's my mother's day off as well, and I'd like to spend those days with her. Seeing her in the evenings just isn't the same, since she's already tired and only really focused on having dinner and getting to sleep. If it turns out I can't change the days I work, oh well... there's still always the chance that she gave me Wednesdays off, anyway. The only real thing I wanted to avoid would be like working every other day... mainly, because, if I'm working so few days a week, I want it to feel like it's only a few, instead of have them unneedingly stretched throughout the week. If that makes any sense at all.
I've been really getting into Star Wars... Moreso than I have ever been, I think. It probably has alot to do with the book I am reading (Shadows of the Empire) and then going online and reading all about the upcoming Star Wars Galaxies game. Granted, there's a couple of things that I don't like about SWG (like them deciding that you have to loot your corpse if you die... I HATE that in MMORPGs), and added with the fact that I know it's terribly dangerous for me to get hooked to another online game... But despite all that, I will probably end up buying it anyway. The more I think about it, the more fun it seems it would be to run around in these worlds, and be a Wookie bounty hunter, or whatever else profession there is that seems nice It will also be nice to have another activity to do with Matt; I feel so bad that he basically has nothing to do now, since one player games don't really seem to interest him as much as they do me. In truth, I haven't really read much up on the more important aspects of the SWG, like the skills and what not... well, actually I tired to, but was still left not understanding any of it, mainly because it just seems very confusing on paper. It'll probably be much more understandable in the actual game... or, I am hoping.
Cayenne is starting to concern me. Yesterday, she wouldn't eat any of the bloodworms I tried to feed her... course, this was right after she had left a bag full of food, and probably wasn't hungry. So, I tried again today... and while Cayenne did snap once or twice that the bloodworms (out of the 10-15 or so tries), she did nothing but spit it back out. Like either she didn't like the taste, or didn't like eating something that big. I didn't know what to do... there's not really anything I can do... so I just went ahead fed Kasey, who's always eager to eat. In order to feed them, I have to take a frozen cube of bloodworms, saw off a corner with a knife, and them pick individual worms out of that and feed it to them, using the cut end of a cutip stick to maneuver it over to them in the water. Kasey has gotten to the point where if he sees that stick at all in the water, he'll use his little arms and swim over there as fast as he can, and start nipping blindly at the stick, even if there isn't any food on it I had been so relieved when Kasey first ate one of the bloodworms, because I was so worried that he simply wouldn't eat it... and I guess I thought too soon, since I'm now having that problem with Cayenne I'm going to give her one more day... by tomorrow, she'll definitely be starving... hopefully then she'll eat. If she won't, then I'll have to go to the store and investigate about either a different type of food (like a frozen form of what was in the bag with her when she was shipped) or maybe even the dreaded option of actually growing food here for them to eat. That's a whole nother project altogether, and I really had not wanted to do it... but we'll see. I certainly don't want her to die of starvation, but if that's the only available option to keep that from happening, then I'll have to do it.
