fish

There are fish on the sidebar of this page. Three of them. They are quite lovely. I certainly hope I'm not the only one that feeds them because I very rarely do. If they were real fish, they would most likely be dead by now.

Of course, I'm joking about that, because I have real fish. In fact, I have six of them. And they are all alive and well - actually, I don't know about well, but that's beside the point. They are fed almost every day, and their water changed and bowls cleaned every few weeks - though it should be more frequent than that, I know. It's funny actually, because the whole process takes about 15 minutes, for all six of them, yet I am always too overwhelmed by the thought of doing it that it doesn't get done nearly as often as it should! Maybe I'll do that tomorrow, before I go in to work. In any case, I think they are happy, or at least Special Agent is, because every morning he greets me with happy energy. He's the one that always reminds me to feed them all, actually. And when I work with my magick, they are excellent aids (They all live on my altar, I know six fish seem like a lot for one altar, but my altar is quite large and having three fish on either end of it is in fact lovely and I'm not sure how I would feel without them there). I do have to keep magick books in between their bowls so they can't see each other, because they are betas and would spend their whole days fighting one another through the glass if they could see each other. Except Special Agent, he can see Baby and Franky, and he doesn't give a shit about flaring up and boasting his manliness. In fact, he ignores them. Baby and Franky, though, will get all messed up if they can see each other. And Loki and Nox Jr. will spend hours on end getting in one another's face or picking on poor Sammie, who just wants to mind his own business because he's just a baby. The more I think about these fish, the more I feel as if I am missing one fish. I think that one Friday I'll have to go pick up a baby beta from Petco, and place him in the center of my altar. Of course, Special Agent would probably get jealous that I would put another fish in my center rather than him, when he is in fact my most sacred fish (all six of them are sacred to me, otherwise they wouldn't live on my altar)... So nevermind, maybe I'll get a baby and put him in Special Agent's spot, and move Special Agent next to my altar gargoyle, Thane. That sounds right. But I would have to do a lot of rearranging, because six fish fit perfectly in this space and adding one more would maybe make my altar a bit too full. Yes, now that I have considered this through my writing in this post, I think I won't get another fish. Although I do really love betas.

This is the end of my post, and yes, I am quite strange. But you know, if you're reading this post, and have actually read all the way through to the end right here, then you too are quite strange! And if you read this post and have read previous posts, maybe even check on this blog just to see what strange (or boring and pointless) post I've added, then you are possibly too strange for my liking, and if that's the case then please don't ever try to meet me, because I won't like you. Or maybe I will love you, but you certainly don't want that.


That is all, and goodnight.
