Friends with fins

And my third attempt at keeping a living creature alive on my own is…another fish!

Actually, it’s two fish! And they’re celestial goldfish, which mean they look like this.

And they’re freaking awesome!

And I can’t stop using exclamation points!!

Anyways, on to more serious business: what the world should I name these guys? Possible options I’ve thought of so far include:

~Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
~Coefficient Alpha and Chi Square (tests and measurements stuff, don’t ask)
~Rousseau and Voltaire
~Plato and Socrates
~Pearson R and Spearman’s Rho (more tests and measurement stuff)
~Lewis and Clark
~Freud and Jung

Help me name my ichthyoids!

Hey people, sorry about that private blog yesterday. Don’t worry, it wasn’t about anyone. It was just some crap I had to vent about myself a little. Fun continues now!

Hello my fine ladies and gentlemen! Today, I realized I wanted a fish for my dorm. A bug-eyed one. Named Bug-Eye. I already have the little weirdo picked out at Pets are People Too.
Problem = I have no pump/bubbler for a fish tank.
Actually, real problem = I have no fish tank whatsoever.

So I’m pissed.

Being pissed, I made this instead!
I dub him “Pilgrim.” It strikes me.

Yes, I know the water and rocks are shifted a bit, but what’re you gonna do? Also, don’t you love the way he turns around?

I’m a loser.

It’s a title that goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and…

My beta died like 6 months ago and I’m feeling the loss now. So I’ve decided I’m going to get a new fish for dorm room companionship. A goldfish. One of those bug-eyed ones. That will rock. I shall name him “Bug-Eye” or something equally as awesome.

“Plato” is also an option.

I’m going to have fun with this.

Ner-her…I need a fish

So I’ve decided that, at some point, I shall purchase some sort of fish and care for it and love it and keep it in my dorm room for company. That is, if I can find the time to make a Wal-Mart run to get said fish.

Anyways, I have some names picked out, but I don’t know which one to go for. Suggestions welcome!

Names for fishy fish of happiness and joy:
1) Cup Deja-vu. I thought of this name awhile back, and I think it sounds really cool. Say it out loud: “Cup Deja-Vu”. It makes people stop and think, “what the crap did she just say the fish’s name was?”
2) Freud. Self-explanatory. For the mother-burdened fish of the group.
3) Narcissus. Again, self-explanatory. I’ll name him this if he’s all like, “hell yes…pick me ’cause I rock!” when I see him at the store.
4) Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Only if I get two fish. Or a fish and a snail. That would rock.

Okay, that’s all I can think of right now. I’ll add more as they come to me.
