Poor cat. I hope it was alright. Looks like a very high fall, maybe 2 or 3 storey building judging from the height of the trees in the background and the buildings.Quote:

So yesterday he comes to pick me up and we hang out and watch netflix over his house for forever and it's just so nice because it's just the two of us and we get to catch up and just cuddle and after he drops me off at home again, he stays for a few hours because he didn't want to have to say goodbye just yet. It was just an amazing relaxing day and I know to some people netflix doesn't seem romantic at all, but it really was. The next time I'll see him even though we're both on winter break now and I'm home (because he's going to mexico for x-mas ) will be valentine's day which is also our anniversary ) and I can't wait! I'm already trying to find the perfect card for him (every time we hang out, I get him a really inappropriate card, he's got quite the collection going haha, I need to out do myself because my last card was amazing lol)
Here's one place you might look for an inappropriate card, you can find some odd stuff on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/search?q=inappropriate%20cards&ref=auto4Quote:

Eeep. I've always wanted to do that!! ;-;
Awesome ^.^
I get to see a performance by Cirque du Soliel today! Probably spelled that wrong... lol
OMG I LOVE THEM. WHICH SHOW???
Cirque Dreams Holidaze I think its called.
I just arrived back home in Cali last night after a long 14 hour drive. Definitely feels amazing to be back. I've been playing with my baby nephew and basking in Christmas decor. I found my stocking I've had since I recieved my very first tail when I was about 12 years old (9 years ago) :D Attachment 26043
It's made out of the same material as my first tail and since I don't have it anymore, it's a really nice reminder of the memories
My first silicone tail is being shipped today Also!!! So cool to see how far I've come. 2015 will be my 10th year offically mermaiding! :dance:
That is adorbs. :)
This calls for an unboxing video and loads of pictures ;)Quote:

It was hilarious.
There was also a girl who decided I'm Ariel's daughter, even though her hair is black and she has a red tail and I'm blonde with a purple tail.
Flyer blah. The pool though right?
Pearl that sounds like a blast! :D
Yea but they frown on bubble baths in the pool. Plus its chlorine water. Last time I had a real bath was when a cabin the family was renting had a hot-tub. Filled that up, pored in some bubble bath soap, and had fun. And the bubble jets from the hot-tub+about 3x the amount of soap I should have used...there were more bubbles than water...and it was awesome!Quote:

I spent like two hours curled up on the floor in my boyfriend's office (where Paarty had been quarantined) just sobbing. I was really upset, and ended up spending the night just beating myself up over not being able to help him sooner.

My boyfriend saw how upset I was about the whole thing, and after he picked me up from my best friends' house (they'd kidnapped me to cheer me up after they heard about what happened), he told me that I should meet up with him at his work once I got off my shift on Saturday. The next day, I went over to meet up with him, and he handed me his card and told me to pick out a new betta at the PetSmart next door.
And so I have a new buddy: Odahviing! (Because, in honor of Paarthurnax, his predecessor was also named after a Skyrim dragon; which, fittingly, translates into "Winged Snow Hunter.")
Attachment 26091
I've had him for maybe 48 hours now and I'm already obsessed with him-- I'd never seen a betta as pearlescent as he is, his colors change from white to pink to blue in the light, he's just so pretty. <3 I'm really hoping that I'll be able to give Odahviing the absolute best, and not let what happened to Paarthurnax happen to him, too (and if it does, somehow, then at least I know what signs to look for and have the medicine I need on-hand to treat him right away).
So I basically have the best boyfriend in the world, and one of the most beautiful bettas I've ever seen in my life. ;w;
Oh my goodness, he is beautiful! I've always thought that fighting fish were the best inspiration for tails<3
I am seriously considering designing a merman character based off of him, because a betta tail would look AMAZING with his colors! Plus he has such an awesome personality. <3
Sometimes, a little extra personal maintenance goes a long way to making you feel awesome, especially after the longest, busiest work week you've had in a long time. I feel great! ^_^
