Funny, Squibby

Since I am so into aquatic animals and fishes and turtles and stuff.. I found these pics on another article of well designed great aquariums.. Very cool looking..

Blah Blah, Funny, Random Thoughts, Squibby

Today was fun.. sort of.. I will go back to the past 2 – 3 weeks. My goldfishies at work kept dying, one after another. So I was left last week with one goldfish and a plecko.. You know how devastated I was.. I love my pets, and I do get sad when they die. I think it is because my filter was dead, and I tried cleaning it and fixing it. No use! Anyways, so I was waiting for the rest to die and I can just forget about having a tank at work and clear some space on my table. However, my boss is back this week and today he said to me, “you want more fish?” However, I said “no”.

He then smiled and was all excited and said, “you want a lizard!” I said, “God no! I don’t want to buy crickets and feed them live animals! Especially here at work!” He said, “what about turtles?” I said, “hmmm, why not!!” So he said, “we will go get a turtle!” He just likes to cheer me up cause he noticed I was sad cause of it. So we went to this pet store in east of the city that sold turtles. (not many places I know sell them in London.) Anyways, so first we had to go on a Costco run because my boss wanted to buy some computer stuff. However, the person I can’t stand came along, and I got so irritated from him talking non stop like he knew everything in the world! I was about to scream and just hit something. It’s unbelievable how much I can calm my self down at critical times. At least at work I have headphones and really loud techno music to cover his excessive talking about non-sense and sarcasm all day.

After that we went to the pet store and I got my Mississippi Map Turtle. Weird name eh? Anyways, so I got it, it was 50 bucks! I know it is free in Mississippi. Duh! But I am thinking this is well bread in a pet store. I didn’t want a red eared turtle. I had one before and I found them to be so boring and didn’t move much. This guy I bought is insane! I love it. So I bought some turtle stuff and a heated lamp. I took the plecko out of the tank and I kept the goldfish. The turtle is about 2 inches in length. Which is good. The turtle I had long time ago was as big as a quarter..This guy had a scaly back which I thought was wicked cool.

So I thought for an hour what to name the little guy. Since I am so into reading the Harry Potter series, and I am on the second book now, (yes I am slow! :lol:), I wanted to name it something weird. So I didn’t want to name it a Muggle. I thought about it, but nah. Muggles are humans with no wizardly powers. So I thought more, should I call it Parselmouth, but no, it’s not a snake. Hmm, so I thought, well, if a dumb wizard was born into a wizard family, but couldn’t use magic well, or at all, and turned him self into a turtle forever, then I will call it, Squib! Squibs in H.P. are wizards born into wizarding families but can’t do magic properly or at all! But they are not muggles! :lol: Remember.. it’s not a squid, it’s a Squib! Sorry, you got to read Harry Potter first or watch the movies to know what I am talking about.

By the way, I nick named him Squibby!

So I decided to take a video of it using my crappy cell phone cam. Next time I will use the laptop’s camera. It’s a lot better. So I decided to make a youtube account for my blog, and start putting videos. I will be putting a lot of my turtle! The Squib! I will also make a page for my turtle. I love turtles! More than fish. Hehe.. He will be the new rebellious blogger.. He will share his rebellion by video!
