Then Kane, while working at a pet store in Rockford, sold me a goldfish named Golda Mier, who mysteriously passed away three days after I brought her home, while under the care of my mother. Then when I got home, she didn't tell me about her passing, instead she and my sister conspired to lie to me, purchasing a fun bubbly home for the "new Golda," and getting me another fish named Michael Bolton (after the character in Office Space, not the singer) and when those fish passed after an accidental poisoning, she finally fessed up about the passing of the original Golda Mier. It was a heart breaking series of events, but I've found that cat ownership is much easier, as cat can tell you when he's hungry, thirsty, pissed, hurt with a few discernible meows. Anyway, RIP, fish.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04626694119407935312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660888790765945689.post-28413018324947132722009-02-15T13:54:00.000-06:002009-02-15T13:54:00.000-06:00Oh no...Ants...I actually literally suffer from my...Oh no...<br>Ants...<br>I actually literally suffer from myrmecophobia, which is the fear of ants.

All of the preppy kids in South Park stopped shopping at Banana Republic, started a club of vampires, and switched to wearing all black. The story focused on the war between the vampires and the goths, and how the only reason the trend started was because a Hot Topic opened in the South Park mall, but the the best part of the episode was that Cartman and the other main characters were in the background just shaking their heads, and completely untouched by the trend (besides their awe of what was happening). I feel kind of like that -- I am hoping it's not because I'm getting older and that it truly is just a bad fad that "I Love The Millennium Part 2" on VH1 will mock in a year or two, but I'm glad to have an unbiased review so that I don't feel compelled to read these rags.

Who then falls in love with the somewhat plain, 'there really isn't anything that great about me' heroine.<br>and then in new moon, you get another hero, who essentially is the same thing (beautiful, perfect) who also falls in love with her.
