Well my quarter ended on an awsome note. Went out by going to my friends super fun birthday party. I had lots of fun, one of the best parties I have been to in a while. I also checked out my grades to discover that I passed all of my classes with B's and A's...whew!

So the treacherous search for the ever elusive Pontiac Firebird continues.....eh, and me and my dad are getting tired of it!!!
We have looked at five cars now and and so far have come up with nothing. The car is either a piece, the milage or price is too high, or the seller is just a moron. Yesterday we went to look at another firebird, red, full power, 54,000 miles, T-tops, the works, all I have been looking for all for a starting price of $5,495 in Ebay. Sounds like a deal right? So we go and look at the car, solid body, nice interior everything works, there is just one problematic fender that has been repainted poorly, that of which the owner didn't notice until me and my dad pointed it out to her...eh...it was kinda funny because she was really surpised...ha!

NE ways, so we test drove the car and were happy with it and asked the owner if she would settle on a price outside of Ebay to which she said no. So we said we are interested so we will go along with the auction and bid on it. So we did. See we are going on vacation in the next week so the auction was going to end on Monday which worked out perfectly. But tonight I checked on the auction and it has been ended. me and my dad supect that she ended it because the auction didn't have the reserve that she was sure she had put on the car, the buy it now was 7,000 but there was no reserve for 7,000. So now we have to call her tomorrow and hope that she will settle outside of ebay, either way she is NOT going to get that price for that car.

I am so fricken tired of seeing these cars for rediculous prices. Yeah, I get it they are no longer making the Firebird, la dee fricken da, they are not some kind of collector muscle car! They stopped making them in 2002 for crying out loud! I have seen cars that have been listed for outrageous prices only to see the dealer or private owner reduce the price until it sells!! So STOP IT!!!


Eh....sorry about that rant...had to put it out there. On a better note my fish are gradually getting braver and starting to act more like fish than big scaredy cats. I have also added a new member to the family, a little royal blue discus that I picked up from RMS. He is doing OK eating a little and getting used to his surroundings. He is hanging out with my big Red Turq, they are buddies, its cute because my Turq is so big and the royal blue is so little.

Speaking of fish, thoes of you who know about my most recent corwntail betta (Ashe, Camillo, Serry), the "rockstar" one, well if you can remember what he looked like (dark face, splotches of red and black and blue with black fins and a mostly white body) well he has TOTALLY CHANGED. I honestly thought my mom replaced him. But it is him because I know my mom would have told me and he still has his black fins, but his face is no longer black AT ALL. he now has a orangish head, bright white eyes, totally white body which extends to his fins a bit with black on the ends and pretty much no more blue or red. So I have named him Hudini. Lolz. I can't beleive it, but yeah he has totally transformed so he has been dubbed Hudini.

I also got the sad news from my friend Ashe, that Stan Winston recently passed away due to cancer. I was upset to hear the news, hit me like a brick. He was one of thoes people that I imagined to live on forever and forever in to old age, some one that would seem to never fade away. He was an amazing man, I have looked up to him ever since I was very little and dreamed of maybe working for him one day. I am devistated to hear that you have passed on Stan, but you made so many of my favorite imaginary beasts come to life. Thanks for being the amazing person that you were. You will be missed but will live on in the hearts and minds of many as a legend. RIP.

But in general my break has been going good, getting alot done, which makes me happy. I hope everyone else is enjoying thier time off! Sorry for the novel.

Rock on!
