it's times like these that i wish seven wasn't dead

yup, so that's my old fish seven. it had huge bulging eyes and it didn't do much. kinda just swam around that bowl u see there. either way, he (i think) still kept me company on the days i was home alone, much like today. i'd sit in front of his bowl perhaps mocking him or knocking on the bowl itself. he didn't respond much. ok, ok i'm not a loser, but it was some form of interaction i suppose. and yes, on occasion we'd have conversations, i did most of the talking. yup, yup. oh and if you're wondering why his name is seven well it had to do with my friend who gave it to me. frankly it's a very uninteresting story, but i'll tell you anyways. so her name is thanh (she pronounces it ten). when she went to go volunteer, the head of the volunteer center was like, "oh, i remember your name...it's...it's...seven! right?" so that's the story and when thanh gave me the fish i thought it'd be funny if his name was seven. so it was.

sad thing is, seven didn't even get to live for more than a year. he lived for seven months. strange, ehh? ya, he died on july 7th, 2005. hmm...even stranger. cause of death: his bowl was overheated due to the blistering weather of ontario and our house's lack of a/c. he was literally cooked. and no, we didn't eat him. yes, very sad story indeed.

but yea, i miss the guy...one of the few animals i'm not allergic to. most definitely gotta find a cure for people who are allergic to dogs. so i can own one of these...isn't he cute? ya, i like him too. my other friend wanted this dog. don't think he got him tho.

maybe i won't necessary own a pug, but i do want a dog. so we'll play that one by ear. otherwise i'm gonna have to continue playing with fran's virtual dog, diamond. but that's just not the same. :(

anyways, this morning turned out to be more eventful then expected. finally went to do a lil tennis coaching. i helped out the jv team today. turns out they need a lot of help. i suddenly wished i started helping out earlier this summer cuz today was their last practice for the summer. for the moment they don't have much of a jv coach so no one really helps them improve. i feel really bad cuz i should've been out there helping them, they're so neglected. the team i once knew has sadly deteriorated. not just on how they play but as a team...i sense distance and too much competition amongst them. anywho, imma still support and all come this season, but i still wish i would've been out there helping them more.

well that's enough of tennis talk. but speaking of tennis...

i'm loving the weather!!! so nice and cool 'round these parts. brings a huge smile to my face. :D and that nice cool breeze. it's just great. altho the gloominess kinda worries me a bit. it's kind of a downer, but either way i like it.

now my mom's home, yay! i think i should go help her out...we gots company coming over. odd that during to day, i'm so lonely...but at night our house is the place to be. ok, not really, most of the time it's like 2 people and they just talk and talk. but it's cool today cuz it's father dennis and his friends who are coming and he's always fun/good company. alright i'm done finished for now. guess i'm getting caught back into this blogging thing. seven secretly motivated me. ok, ok and so did u. (whoever you might be?) peace out...mmm...i can smell my mom's cooking already!!!
