stoopbeck[Sometime around three or four in the morning]
Alex: *goes to sleep*
[7:35]
Phone: RING RING OMG RING
Alex: Hello?
Annoying Neighbor: OMG MY CAR BROKE and my house was struck by lightning, I think the anscestors don't want me selling my house, hahaha, how've you been, can your mother come get me?
Alex: Uh... she's at work.
Annoying Neighbor: Oh. *hangs up*
Alex: *staggers off to room* *turns on fish tank light*
Peacock Eel: *ded*
Alex: NOOOOOOOOO HOW COULD IT HAPPEN YOU HAD SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR? *flush*
[7:45]
Calico Jack the Miracle Beta: *does best imitation of dying fish*
Alex: NOOOO I DIDN'T BRING YOU THIS FAR FROM DEATH JUST TO LOSE YOU NOW! *transfers from TANK OF DEATH to PRETTY GLASS VASE*
Calico Jack the Miracle Beta: *floats ominously*
[8:30]
Mom: *arrives* Hey, just coming home to grab some... what's wrong with your beta?
Calico Jack: *gasp heave wheeze*
Mom: You ready to go to my graduation at noon?
Alex: Sure. I'm going to go lie down now. I feel ill from not sleeping and sudden inexplicable fish death.
Mom: Okay! *leaves*
[8:45]
Mom: *comes back* Uh, by the way, that graduation thing? Happens at 10. We've got to leave, ah, now.
[9:30]
Old Wetumka Post Office: *swarms with old people*
Alex: *is the youngest person there* *by twenty years*
Old Man #1: Hey, Maria! This your daughter? She looks just like you! Bet you never hear that, haw haw haw!
Old Man #2: *says exact same thing*
Old Women 1 & 2: *do the same*
Head of Organization: Now let me engage in meeting beauracracy for an hour while you can watch people set up yummy food that you can't eat until I stop talking.
[Hours later.]
Head of Organization: Now you've all graduated. Yay class of 2006! Now you can eat.
Copious Amounts of Food: *are consumed*
Old Man #7: Haw haw haw, you two must be sisters, you look so much alike!
By the time we got home, it was nearly 2. And we were minus a beta. Sadness.
But as a reward, since I had to go into a large group of strange old people [not that I have a problem with the elderly, mind you, just large groups of them, all asking my major and pursing their lips in that "Oh, you're gonna live in a box when you grow up" when I tell them I'm a writing major] Mom watched the first half of Shaun of the Dead with me. She's awesome.
Mom: What would make you feel better?
Alex: Shaun of the Dead.
Mom: ...
Alex: It's a romantic comedy!
Mom: With ...zombies.
Alex: With zombies, yes.
Mom: I'm only doing this because I love you.
Movie: *starts*
Mom: Oh, this movie's British. You didn't tell me it was British.
Alex: Does that make it okay?
Mom: Oh, yeah. I'm good now.
Alex: *goes to sleep*
