FISHIES AND CRABS!!!!!
So my big thing of the day was that I had an almost crab crisis this morning. Hehe. I hadn't seen Punisher since I got home from UNT but I thought, oh well. He's just hiding. Cuz that's what crabs do!! Hehe. But this morning I woke up and was sick of not seeing him. So I lifted up his hiding place (which is this pretty, ceramic, cove thing with flowers and stuff) and didn't see him. I wasn't able to turn it all the way over, but could see well enough that he wasn't under it. So I went downstairs and offhandedly mentioned to my mommy that I couldn't find my crab, and she suggested we should go back upstairs and look for him some more. My mom reached in to look under the hiding place again, and I watched intently, because there was still at least a small chance that he was under there, somewhere ... but she turned it upside down and completely took it out of the tank, and he was NOT there. So the next place we had to look was in the filter. You all know the kind of traumatic experiences I've had with marine pets and filters ... so I had to hide behind the doorframe while my mom unplugged it, opened it up, and looked. She said she didn't see him. I was mystified.
We returned downstairs so I could get some breakfast and I happened to mention to my dad that my crab was fucking gone. Well, you know my dad. He went upstairs and sifted through all the pebbles that line the bottom of the aquarium, refusing to believe that the crab had just disappeared. But he couldn't find Punisher either!! I ate my cereal and pouted. Amanda walked through the room and I informed her that my crab was m.i.a. So she went up and inspected, but then - miracle of miracles!! - returned to tell me that she'd found him in the filter, ALIVE!!! How he got up there is BEYOND me, but I had read somewhere that Thai crabs are escape artists, and fuck me, it is true!! We liberated him from the filter, which we'd left off, and then re-primed it and now everything's fine in the world of Mishelle's crab. Weeee =)))
Even more fun is this: today Amanda and I went to Petsmart and bought some feeder fish for Punisher to eat!!! Only thing is, I'm a dumbass and named the fish (Rayford, Chloe, and Buck!!), thus am now completely attached to them!!! Good news is that I don't think Punisher is interested in eating them so much as antagonizing them with his meaty claws when they get too close. They're so fun and playful, and almost more entertaining than the crab!! Mostly they leave him alone, only every once in awhile Rayford will swim right down next to him in his hiding place and just lay there next to him until he freaks out and tries to get him. Hehe, that fish has got some balls. SO MUCH FUN!!! Buck likes to play with his reflection, and Chloe likes to give the others fishie-kisses. =)))) They're fucking cheap, and I'm so glad the crab isn't gonna eat them, cuz they're precious as all hell. I'm gonna get five more and name them Abdullah, Ming, David, Nicolae, and Bruce. Haaaa what a great bunch of names. Thank you, Left Behind.
I'm going to Grapevine to see Chris tonight. Thank fuck that school is over. Summer school is gonnabe fun, but I can't express how glad I am that fucking spring semester is FINALLY through.

That's Rayford, swimming into the hiding place, to see Punisher. =))) HEHE!!! What a brave fish. I'll be sad when it finally bites him in the ass.
