Well, I just finished cleaning and rearranging Lucille’s cage. She’s pretty pissed with me I think. She wouldn’t come out of the tank so I had to block her off while misting the ground mix. She’ll get over it. I haven’t messed with her in some time and she’s been inside the half log for 4 days so I just blocked the open end and did what needed done. I finally got her out of the log and it was a mess in there. Webbing everything, poo everywhere and cricket carcases! I had a piece of wood going up to form a enclosed corner. I instead put the wood on it’s side, built a mound and gave her another choice for comfort and seclusion. I went ahead and took the water dish out. I keep it nice and moist so she should have plenty of choices when thirsty. There are also water drops along the walls of the tank. I think she’ll be fine.
I would like to get some sort of plant to put in there. I would rather have something real but I don’t know if it would eventually get too hard to clean with the roots and all. I like to mix the soil and add new when cleaning it out. I always keep most of the old soil in the tank. The only benifit of the plant would be for drawing water from the leaves. I think something artificial could give me the same result.
I’m watching Naked Science at the moment. I’m so tired of hearing the same shit about the planets that have been said over and over and over. Find something new out! Instead of funding the war, fund Space travel and exploration. It’s much more fascinating and not so damaging to the world. Not only is it sad to see US soldiers being killed (although, it was their choice!) there are also people who are innocent and have nothing to do with the war. Maybe it’s just me…
I read an article about a lead scientist for Nasa who is heavily pierced! That’s always nice! I guess it’s true that if you’re good at what you do, nothing else matters! I really hate when people use their piercings as a reason they couldn’t get a job. I’m sure it’s true in some cases, but get a damn education and stop blaming your own faults on your piercings. It makes the people who actually have successful careers, with their modifications, look bad!
On a lighter note, I did take a nice new picture of Lucille, I’ll post it later!

I guess that explains it! I’m never going to be able to sleep longer than 6 hours. I didn’t get to bed until very late this morning. I swear I layed in bed for 2 hours just thinking. I tried every position possible. I’m very tired and sore at the moment. There’s just so much going through my head and that’s what kept me up for so long. Though Processes! I wish I could CTRL+ALT+DEL and open the task manager then “End Process” – I feel nerdy for that.
I feel like my stomach is turning inside out and twisting. It’s almost like it’s trying to kill me. I don’t know how I’ve managed to type this because it’s quite agonizing. I’m going to lay back down.

Ok, I just deleted my IAM account on BME. Why? Well, I’m very much against Myspace. Of course, I did love it at one point but it’s got to the point of being ridiculous. Having said that, I do have a Myspace account and I don’t plan to erase that. Why? It’s one of the ways I am able to keep up with my friends who I’ve had the great joy of getting into contact with. There’s several in my buddy list that I want to keep in touch with and Myspace is their choice of communication for the most part therefore I keep mine for that reason. I don’t use Myspace to meet people. Ok, I’m done defending myself! IAM just became so much like Myspace. I remember how different IAM was when I first joined almost 7 years ago. When I made a new account after being absent for some time, it just wasn’t the same. Like most things, humans ruined it!
On a second note, I will be arriving in Orlando, Florida sooner than I expected. I’m very happy about this. I think it’s time for a change. I know I just moved here to Texas but I can’t do it anymore. I’d rather be home, where my heart is. Everything that made me who I am today is in Florida. It’s the atmosphere, it’s the love I have there, it’s the family and friends I have there. It’s home and that’s the one word that sums, everything that Florida stands for, up for me.
I really don’t know why I’m still watching National Geographic. It’s really appeals to me. I especially like the specials on the different aboriginal tribes around the world. It’s something I draw great interest in.
