potato pie friday + satanist snails

the other day i went to feed my fish. there were three; spotto (bren's big fish), ivy (my fish) and mr. unnamed fish (bren's little fish. he might have a name but i don't know that it is...was...). i could only find two of my fish, spotto and ivy. at first i worried that he'd jumped out, until i saw it. a giant cluster of satanist snails. i couldn't actually see mr unnamed fish but when i looked thursday morning i could just see his skeleton. i feel really awful that it happened, i have no idea how he died. but now there's a skeleton of a fish at the bottom of my fish tank and i don't know how to get rid of it, it's really awful.

yesterday i went to lunch with amy and marcus. we went somewhere none of us had eaten before and the menu looked really good. when we got to the counter though, everything we asked for the woman told us they didn't sell any more; that the menus were old and they are waiting for new ones to be printed. why even display the old menus then? she wasn't even polite about it and it came across as though she thought we were idiots. i then found a hair in my pasta which was super.
we went bowling afterwards and since amy has nice, small feet and i have clown feet, she got the cute shoes and i got clown shoes. marcus kicked our butts in the first game and then shouted us a second. guess who won the second game! i decided that i love bowling.

i saw bren last night for maybe an hour and a half and it was great. then this morning i got to see him before school for a few minutes and i swear it brightened my entire day. after school i even speed-walked down to the bookshop for more bren-time.

at school i got a potato pie for the first time in months and it was too amazing. it makes me want to buy one every day (except for the fact that i can not even nearly afford to). i don't understand why the food at the school's tuckshop is so expensive. i'm fairly sure that there is not one single hot food item that they sell that is healthy. i guess the closest to would be a hot chicken wrap and the chicken is probably not even chicken. who even knows.
tonight i went to youth group with caitlin for the first time ever. it was insanely fun because we played games and i never get to play games any more. also i now remember how much fun balloons are and i can literally amuse myself with a balloon for an hour, easily. so i think i'll just keep an inflated balloon in my room at all times for when i feel a little sad. good plan.
