Fish

Today my parents came to visit and to drop off a much needed dining room table. I had previously been eating my meals on the coffee table and sitting on the floor, so this will be nice for a change. Unfortunately my dining room is a meager 9'x10' and I've had to re-arrange everything a little goofy like since I'm also planning on using it as a birdie play room, bass practice space, computer room, and an artists lair during winter seasons.

I took a trip to Wal-Mart with the parents and thought it'd be a nice gesture to buy some more fish for Vince the goldfish to play with. Out of all the fish in the tank I picked out a jolly looking goldfish sub-species, and a white and orange mixed color goldfish. I brought them home and was so happy watching the fishies swim around, but suddenly one of them started floating. Then within the next ten minutes the other one started to show signs of deterioration as well. I've been looking for cures on the internet and added some salt and peas to the water, just in case there is any hope for them. Somehow I feel that this is my fault because I took them from their home.

Maybe it seems strange to try so hard to save them, but I truly believe that every living creature is a special soul with a purpose in this world. I refuse to kill bugs unless they are harming me or others, and obviously through accidental circumstances with my feet, car, etc. I'd actually feel better about myself if I were a vegetarian, but because of my hypoglycemia and eye problems I've been told to eat a lot of complete proteins, which are animal proteins.  Maybe incomplete proteins can be combined to make a complete protein? Someone please teach me these things!!!

Anyway, I hope my fishies survive...the poor things.
