feeling: reflective
listening to: PM Dawn - I'd Die Without You
Still trying to think of names for the new bettas. They're at least starting to get used to things, I think. The little delta tail (advertised as halfmoon, but I doubt that) looks a lot more like a paler, less marbled version of one of my former bettas, Sekiray, than I realized when I bought him... and I don't know why I keep calling him little. >> He's quite full grown, and even bigger than my 3 year old, Phoenix. But he is the smaller of the two newbies, and his fins are still relatively short, so... have a feeling he's gonna be a BIG boy within a few more months. Anyway, personality-wise... he is a spitfire. Constantly charging around his tank telling off his reflection in the glass walls. Isn't too fond of me yet though. But give him a few days to learn where the food comes from. >>
The Goth Fishie, on the other hand, is probably the most timid fish I've ever had. He's a little braver now than he was earlier today, though... before he just hid at the bottom behind his fake plant and barely moved, but now he's spending more time cautiously poking around his new digs and has even given me a couple little wiggledances... and I see him flaring at his reflection in the glass at times too. But he still spazzes out if I make any movements that are too sudden, or get too close to him. And he hasn't eaten yet. Still, he's doing much better... should be just fine within a couple more days. He might even do a full 180 and turn out to be just as psychotic as any other betta I've ever owned (which means all of them >>), after a few days of getting used to things. Phoenix did that to me when he first joined the flock.
Anyway... that's that.
In a bit of a turnaround from yesterday, my mood today has been largely on the pensive, reflective side. A lot of things are weird in my life lately. Well, weird for me... probably wouldn't mean a thing to anyone else. Haven't figured out whether it all annoys me or scares me, or both. Also spent a while tonight randomly thinking about the past... both mine and that of some of my friends, but mostly sort of a combination of the above. The shared aspects of our pasts, I guess you'd call it. The good and the bad and everything in between. And a lot of other things affecting the overall mood too... but anyway. Nothing to worry about. I'm fine, just thoughtful. Actually feel a little more normal already after just getting this much of a rant out.
Still, though... compared to my hyperness last night, this is some mood swing for me. >> Maybe I am more neurotic than I thought.
Anyway... I also need to finish translating the interview BLOOD did for Tainted Reality... only 3 answers left to English-ify and I've been putting it off for a week. Can't seem to motivate myself to get any real work done. Oh well... tomorrow, I suppose.
