Wow it feels like its been forever since i talked about that hole in the ground I call a pond. Which is now coming along quite nicely its kinda cute heart . I put some water lettuce in it a while ago and they're growing like crazy! I only put 4 in and the whole ponds been covered four times I put some in the large pool with the fish and they ate it all P:. But the ones in the little pond are taking over, I'm kinda sad that they'll die once it gets cold out and since I live in Zone 6.5 (aka 7) they wont be able to stand the winter here in Maryland. So I put some underwater plants in that can over winter, some anachris, cabomba, and harthworn, they've started growing really good I even clipped some today that have been growing in the black tub. Now before I mention this I should say that the only animals I put in there were some gold fish (that are HUGE they've only been in there a month or 2), rosey red minnows and fat heads, and three tad poles thats it no snails nothing. Lo and behold when I'm planting some of the cuttings from the black tub and pulling weeds around the edge so I see this teeny tiny red thing. At first I thought it was maybe like a worm then i thought its to big to be a worm maybe its a baby snake NO its a frickin salamander tangled up in the weeds. I'm so shocked since I've never seen one irl before I hada pick it up and examine it. I didnt touch it with my hands but it was so cool. However it looked half starved and dead it wasnt moving or anything but just when I think its dead I guess it got annoyed and started running and walking around alot. So I took it back to the pond (before I had taken it to the house) and when I'm about to let it go I notice a snail shell! I know its not a big deal but hey I've never seen one so I was really happy it was pushing dirt out its shell and preparing to come out for the evening. So I sit the salamander near the pond when I see my friendly little frog buddy, when I pull out the camera he suddenly hops over. I'm thinking maybe the camera scared him... no he tried to EAT Sala (the salamander)! But thankfully salamanders dont taste very good and he spit him out wiped his tongue and his face and sorta sulked. Sala was fine later to I came back out to check and he was doing good I just hope the fish dont try to eat him if he goes for a swim hes really super small smaller then my thumb. whee . I'm so proud of my little pond I want to really fix it up next spring and like cement the bottom maybe add a waterfall and somekinda filtration or drain or something its so cool! I wonder if I'll have snakes next, or a turtle? Oh and here are some pics I'll put up some pics of the "fight" too.
**EDIT**
Actually I realized it'd be a whole lot easier to just link to the album and let you guys (who ever still reads this aside from me) look at your own leisure :3 I took quite a few pics... Please dont use or distribute my pics without permission.

Well this summer has certainly been... interesting to say the least. This year my bf worked with me in the fireworks business and we did really well. I wasnt the boss this year but I'm thinking about it next year. Sadly most of my good hang out buddies are all either out of town, out of country, or otherwise indisposed. AND I didnt travel at all this summer, I was supposed to goto cali didnt happen, cruise = nope, otakon = nada... Last summer was like the best summer ever an this one? We'll not so much... I haven't even so much as gone to the beach yet HOWEVA this shall soon be remedied with a family reunion in two weeks! Now why is this such a big deal? Well we haven't had a family reunion since my uncle died nearly 5 years ago and the family seems to be falling apart as a result. So hopefully this will help bring us all closer together and I'll get a killer tan in the process cool .
But in some rather unfortunate news I've just found out one of my aunts has only 3 months to live if she dosent take her medicine. Everyones pretty scared since alot of the time she dosent seem like shes got it all there most of the time so she needs help to make sure she does what shes supposed to... We might all go visit her to try and convince her to do it.

I've always considered myself color blind as far as making friends and having a relationship and all that. Because after all people are just people they may have different life experiences and cultures but at the end of the day a human is still a human. However after all the problems I'm having because of my bf being of a different race then me I've almost decided that if we ever did break up I probably wouldn't date any race except one that was the same as my own. Even if I meet a guy of a different race that had an accepting family it seems like its just too much of a hassle. I mean if its not the family hating you then its the world hating you and looking down on you because you're a striped cat with a gray cat failing to see that you're both just two cats.... Isn't love supposed to be about finding someone you relate to most and can be yourself with and enjoy this ride called life with.

I really wanna wait till fall xD cuz I've got so much planned! IF I can get my money right I'm gonna go to fanime, and AX which are both in California =B.
Annnnd I'm defiantly going to Otakon here....speaking of otakon I just realized a few days ago just how may people I know actually go there O_o its like a high school reunion or something.

I've been dying a slow and painful viral death for the past...... 4...5 days now?
I dont even know how I cough it I was supposed to be going out with a friend that Wensday and I over slept then next thing I know...I'm coughing feeling queezy so I sleep. Wake up 10 hours later at blooming 105 degrees! For a while I thought i was gonna die I literally told my mom to be strong and not cry if i died, it just felt like I was in hell and my life force was being sucked out of me while something pounded on my back with a hammer DDDX .
I've been avoiding all phone calls and what not... but now this thing is lasthing too long and I'm not sure if I'll be ready to goto school or not. After waiting at the doctors office for all of what 7-8 hours they told me it was just some weird virus and I'd be fine in about a week or two......or three.... something like that. And while i do feel a little better, I still feel pretty bad.
blarg I hope this thing goes away soon
