..or something like it. Today, has definitely been an off day. As I write this, I am in a lot of pain, and having to learn to type differently to make up for the finger that is throbbing, and swollen so big, the pain from that alone, is immense. Woke in a fairly good mood today. At first, I was a little confused and still in mid-dream, but it was okay soon after. Kash just had to speak, and I was alright.
After that though, thing after thing, kept happening, and not in the best of ways either. First though, the pizza burned(ish), second, it fell on the floor. Third, the hot sauce decided it would rather be on the blanket, than the pizza, literally making a run for it. Or rather, slide. I hurt someone, because I was mad, not naming names, it doesn't matter, what matters is that I am sorry.
And even apologized and kissed it better. THEN, Cinaed bit me. Not once, and not twice, but three times. The second is/was the most painful of them all. Hence, the swollen finger, and throbbing pain. I think he got my vein, in which case, I might need to go to the hospital. Just pray I wont have to, and that things will be okay. Think though, that that was all of it thus far? Guess again.
Rasui got out, and ran all over the living area. We chased her for a good while, me, with my one hand, and Kash with his two, til we finally managed to grab her and put her back up. I wont get into the why and how she got out, it doesn't matter now. Despite, someone is still a little annoyed at it, but whatever. Its done, its over with. A part of me wants to take Cinaed and toss him out the front door, and say saianara. But, I wont.
All of this, has happened thus far. I should have known it would be an off day, when one of the frogs escaped into the hallway last night before bed, huh?
Oy vey.
Khai, over and out.
Peace.

Crazy Mice
Or maybe I'm just crazy for thinking it's crazy. Rasui fucked Shemeit good, a few times. Kash actually saw it this time. I thought it was funny, because I had only seen Mnoti humping her, but nope. This time it was Rasui. Lol. This is just proof that lesbianism and gayness is not limited to humans. More importantly, it proves that it is a natural part of life, all life.
Other than that, whta's crazy is, not soon after that, Shemeit decided to baracade herself inside the purple house thing. If either Mnoti or Rasui try to go inside, she flips out and attacks them, chanses them away then hides back away. Thinking she might be pregnant? Yeah.. despite we had ruled that out, as she had gotten skinny again.. we really have no idea now.
Mice don't generally nest, unless it's days before they give birth, and especially don't attack out of no where their cage mates, of which they normally snuggle up with, and sleep together huddled away in their hide away house. I had a dream about a baby mouse, that was Shemeit's black, and a lightish colored center, though the mouse was completely shiny.
I just didn't know who's micey baby it was. But it was cute. --Still a no show on Anne's supposed package. NO surprise there. And, another surprise not found, she still has not signed on to messenger. Cowardice. If it's one thing I hate, it's that. Yep. Have more to say, but eh, I'm not saying anything more.

Argghh..
So, I've been feeling like blogging lately, but I've not been wanting to, because I haven't taken any pics of what I want to put up... but right now, I'm like 'fuck it.' I'll just link to Kash's pics from his blog or something. I mean, why should I only put pics that I took? It's not like I'm saying 'hey, this is mine.' when its obviously Kash's. If I don't take the pic, I will give proper credit. Deal? Deal.
Moving on, I have a head ache right now, but I imagine thats from being tired. Despite I am the one that woke our asses up. I honestly don't even know why I wanted to get up right then, I just know something was telling me to wake up. So, that's what I did. Sat up in bed, and proceeded to wake Kash. He finally sat up and we were sharing our dreams, as we usually do in the mornings when he noticed Mnoti literally squeeze her fat ass out the side of the mice cage!
He jumped up immediately and grabbed her. We were both shocked she had managed to get out. I guess it was only a matter of time til they learned that they could, and once learned, they'd be doing it again, trying to break free, only to be killed by the rat poison lying around the floor of the house in various rooms. So, we had to take our newest mouse edition, a Mr. Cinead Brudair Fionntan out of his cage (the critter trail two) and put them back in.
This was their original home, so they weren't to like 'err, wtf?' with it. Despite obviously we had rearranged a lot for him, but they had been in it a couple days ago after we did so for him. We let them all play together, just have to watch them, and make sure the girls aren't in heat. Since, it's apparently fairly easy to tell, once you know what to look for. We put him in one of the travel critter trail cages, since he's just one, and the thing is big enough to house one hamster/mouse easily and comfortably.
So yeah, he's one of the things I wanted to blog about. He's a cute little mousey, but like the girls, skittish. Half the time though, not as skittish. However, he bites if provoked. And to him, provoking is something as simple as not letting him out of your hand when he wants to run around. His fur is a shiny pearl color. Not neccessarily the white pearl, but that greyish/bronzish pearl, off white color. It's gorgeous.
When we're able, we want to breed him with Shemeit. Originally we wanted to breed Mnoti, but now we've decided against that, since he has the shiny coat, as does Shemeit, and we want to continue to have the shiny coats. Mnoti has just a regular coat, that is white with cinnamon marbled onto it. As you've all seen. Also, as Kash has blogged before, we think that Mnoti either is a male (whos balls did not descend) or she's a lesbian.
She has been humping the other girls, and she absolutely HATES Cinaed. He gets close to the other girls and she is there, and she gets super pissed and starts squeaking real loud at him as if saying 'these my bitches, bitch. Back off.' So yeah, we're slightly amused there. I will probably be taking pictures though, because I want to put them all four in the doll house, lol. I don't know why, but I think that's hilarious. OOooh, maybe I can make that net go around it and like.. they can live in the doll house now.
Ahahaha, err, yeah. Kay. :P /amusement. Moving on, yet same(ish) topic: Mammoth has all four legs, again as per Kash's statement and pictures in his blog. Shameless PLUG. Along with a few of the other big tadpoles getting their back legs. I'll try and get some pics of them as well today and tomorrow. Pa brought in another big ass snail thing for Kash. He was really excited (Kash) because he thinks the things are cute.
Do I? Not particular. I'm pretty indifferent really when it comes to them. I'm just like 'eh'. However, since there were now then four snails, well three and one slug, Kash was like 'we really need to make them a habitat.' Blah. Lol. So, we went out side after he arranged all the river rock to cover the bottom appropriately and cut up some moss off the ground from by the side of the house.
Placed it over the river rock in their little box (that was originally from a refridgerator.. that has since expired..) to give the snails a place to crawl. Added a couple earth worms since the things apparently were living in the moss.. Made it all nice for them, added a couple weeds lmao, maybe they'll continue to grow? Since we got everythings roots.. who knows. We mist the tank daily, as per the directions on how to house a snail Kash found while googling how to's on the subject.
Then we took some plastic screen Pa gave us to use to cover the frog tank when ever we get around to doing so and cut it some and then taped it around their little habitat. Maybe I can get a pic of that? Who knows. I'll go try though before I send this, just in case I can. I saw a baby skink and was like 'mine' but I didn't catch it. >.< :( However, I saw a NOTHER snail on the side of the house, and brought it to Kash to see if he wanted it. Of course he did. So now we have like err... 4 snails and 1 slug. 3 Snails are big though, and one is small, and the slug is just a slug. :P He didn't know what to name it, so I named it Nathanial. Again, LMAO. Anyway. Now its Ksenia, Pascha, Mikhail and Nathanial. Oh and Nikolai the slug. Who, names, a slug? Err, and snails? Seriously? :P Anyway. I love Kash, so in a way, I think its cute. Well, he's cute, again, not the snails/slugs. On to him now.. I find myself loving him more and every day. I love every moment we spend together. He is just too cute/amazing for words. I find myself just admiring him at times, and he's like 'what?' and I just smile and shake my head, telling him I love him. We have our tiffs, but it's usually just stupid shit and we're over it with in minutes. So things are good there. Life: Is good. -Khai *Taken by Kash, linked to from his blog*

Cinaed Brudair Fionntan; Handsome bugger.
P.S. Tried to get pics of the snails thing, but it just wont work with the current lighting. It'll have to wait until it's actually sunny out and we can go outside to get the pics. It's over cast right now and will be all day. Boo.

Playing House
So apparently, little girls aren't the only ones out there that like to play house...
Here is Mnoti, obviously playing the mommy...
Here is Rasui, playing the baby taking a baff...
And Shemeit, playing the daddy...
All this happened, while this was going on outside.. tornado after tornado siren kept blaring. We had no net. Lol. Good thing we have mice to keep us entertained, huh?

Alright..
so I've been sleeping...really weird. Not physically either, I mean.. when I sleep, it's just weird. The dreams I have. Whether I remember them or not, are just way different than what I am used to. Got me thinking though, this last one. I'm looking forward to the future (and no I'm not referring to my future with Kash, etc, though obviously, I am looking forward to that separately).
Basically, I think things are going to be okay, and things will finally start to fall into their respective places, because damn it, I'm sick of this already. Sick of the looks, the confusion, the ignorance. *kicks the ignorant people* <.< Heh. Sorry, they piss me off. But basically, from the dream, I have a new hope things will finally be right. Of course there will be roadblocks, but that's only in the beginning.
So, I'm happy about what the future will bring. However, it will be a long time I am sure before I will even get there. Too many other things going on right now, that need my attn. Ann was supposed to send money.. but alas, she has not. Girls, I'm sorry.. but grr. Ann is your typical girl, and despite I love her,s he drives me insane.
She asks the weirdest of fucking questions to me, and I'm like 'uhhh...huh?' then gets upset I don't understand her. Whatever. She hasn't messaged me in three days. I think she's mad at me. (Most likely is..) but I don't know what to do to change it. There is nothing I can say more on the situation of her moving back in with her mother.
OH! On to her mother, right.. okay. So her mom was in a car accident, a while back. Well a few weeks back. I blogged about it, but not in much detail. Why? Because I didn't have much details, heh. Anyway, it turns out that her mom is partially paralyzed. Which means that she 'can' move, but isn't allowed to, or it will paralyze her.
Her lower vertibre was crushed and on a few of the nerves, making it too dangerous for her to move. So her mom is basically bedridden, and she bitches 24/7 because she's bored. Well naturally a woman who has spent the last 20 years working outside the house 16+hours a day, would be bored.
Whatever, give her a computer and tell her to shut up, ha!. Not really, but yes, along those lines. Ann has/had to move back home to help take care of her mother. Kash and I are figuring this means she will never be moving home here to Georgia with us. I'm sure Kash is more relieved than anything, but me.. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Ann needs to get away from her mother, not be that much closer. The woman is a crazy bitch, and I can't stand even being in the same house, let alone same room as her. She just gives off those vibes that make you cringe. She is very *cringes and shivers* Bleh. Don't even want to write about her anymore, it's that bad.
So yeah. Aiden did eventually die, like I said he would. He was the next to die, then Nadalia died. Then all the sudden Viktorae's eyes were like.. bulging and shit. I was like, um.. I have no idea what was causing them to die. We bought the medication for them, it just wasn't working. I'm going to just have to blame the filter. It's a 2-10 gal filter, which.. just can't accommodate a full ten gal aquarium and it's fish. We need a new filter.
Totally got sidetracked by someone's blog post. Had to read and respond before I could finish this one. *CoughsMelscoughcoughsneeze* So, we noticed that Jevin was about to die.. and so we took him out, Vik out and flushed them. Hopefully tthey died quickly, rather the long painful process they were endearing with in the aquarium. I didn't want them to suffer any more than they had to.
The minnows are still alive, as well as the goldfish. We put the goldfish back in the tank, with the minnows.. after completely cleaning it, AGAIN and adding new water. The water was sooo clean and pretty.. then 24 hours later, it was cloudy as fuck again. We dont have any more waterconditioner, so I'm not sure what to do really.. I've changed the water twice now, half way each time.
They are still alive, but the water is still cloudy. MUST GET BIGGER FILTER! The bettas are alive, but barely. This is horrible, first our mice were crazy, and not used to being handled, then all the fish we bought, minus the damn gold fish, are dying/have died. And the goldfish are barely hanging in it seems. Rhett has ich, and despite the MANY ich treatments we've given, he isn't getting rid of it.
Lestat, though in the same fucking aquarium, doesn't have ich, but has fin rot, really bad. He had it when we brought him home, but it's just got worse, despite I've been keeping the water clean and making sure it's okay for him to be able to kick the shit. But, it must have been bad enough that it just isn't going away.
Fucking A. I will never buy shit from PetSmart again. This is ridiculous now. Only I will buy mice cages from them, because I like their cages, vs the others ones else where. Anyway, I don't have any pics really to put up, despite I got some of Rasui in Kash's hair the other night. It was hilarious. She was all burried in his hair. Right now, we have Shemeit and Mnoti in Rasui's cage, all chillin, visiting each other.
It's cute how they react when they first see each other, after a few days. They are like, 'omg, who the fuck are you?! Oh, it's just you, cool. What's up?' Ha. I love it.
Right, so I'mma get going now. I'll have those pics for the next blog. Just been playing Harvest Moon with Kash, and messing around on Neopets, despite they are horribly neglected right now. Good thing for NP and the Cockroach motel! Rawrs, baby!
Peace,
Khai

Same ol' Same ol' really..
Okay, so not really. Yes, but no. Few things are different. One of our guppy females died.. :/ We have the big female in the fry net, because she's about to pop. Took Emile and Dhani out of the beta tank, and put them in a goldfish bowl. Lestat kept trying to kill them, where as Rhett wasn't too bothered by them. I will try and take good pics of them, it's just really hard getting good pics with the glare off the aquarium.
We separated all the mice! Put momma (Isis) our Russian Dwarf Hammie, in the big cage. Mnoti in the pyramid cage, all by herself, and Rasui and Shemeit in their own cages. The travel Critter Trails. Why did we do this you ask? Well, because we were tired of them all RUNNING from us when ever we walked by the cage, and or tried to take them out to play. They refuse to take food from us, and never eat in front of us.
They are scared of human contact! Who wants that in a pet?! Stupid petsmart. So, in an effort to make them less scared of us, and in turn, actually want us, we've separated them from their littermates, and put them each in their own cages. Rasui is usually pretty good when I take her out, UNLESS we have Mnoti out at the same time, who is a BIG scaredy pants, and then Rasui starts getting skittish too as a result. We are having to work on them one at a time, individually.
So far, it's working out pretty nicely. They don't run or hide as much when we try to take them out. They are more likely to venture out on their own too, when we open up the side of their cages. We aren't working on Mnoti as of yet, but we do take her out when we take the other two out and let them all play together for some time. We don't want them to forget each other, as they might wind up being in a cage to share again.
We were talking, and we've decided we want to breed mice. As well as our betas and guppies/minnows. We can breed the minnows for bait, but all our minnows are babies still. Wont even know what sex they are for another 4-5 months. O.O So, in the mean time, we have the guppies. We'll see if we can't get some buyers for the babies, and save that money and get a female crown tail beta, to mate with Lestat and Rhett, our veil tail betas.
We have no idea what we are going to do with Dhani and Emile, our goldfish. Ha. We need to save up for some more tanks, so we can put the goldies in one. I'd love to have a in ground pond out back some day. Maybe put the goldies in there, with the minnows, and have bunches of babies to sell, lol. Who knows. Never know what tomorrow will bring. Could win the lottery.
Anyway, the pics and video are from yesterday, when we took all the mice outside with us. We were on the trampoline out back, just chilling. We didn't have Mnoti out at first, but we eventually brought her out and connected Rasui and Shemeit's cages so they could run around, in and out. Which they all, but Mnoti, did. Rasui and Shemeit kept leaving the cages to run around, to us, and then back into the cages. Mnoti, as expected, stayed in side the cages.
(First pic is Shemeit, eating a pringle, lol. Second is Mnoti, sticking her nose out the tube. Rasui is behind her..because like I said, when Ras gets near Mnoti, she too decides to become skittish, or more skittish than usual. Didn't get a pic of Rasui, unfortunately. I'll take some today, as well as try and get some of the fish.)
We separated all the mice! Put momma (Isis) our Russian Dwarf Hammie, in the big cage. Mnoti in the pyramid cage, all by herself, and Rasui and Shemeit in their own cages. The travel Critter Trails. Why did we do this you ask? Well, because we were tired of them all RUNNING from us when ever we walked by the cage, and or tried to take them out to play. They refuse to take food from us, and never eat in front of us.
They are scared of human contact! Who wants that in a pet?! Stupid petsmart. So, in an effort to make them less scared of us, and in turn, actually want us, we've separated them from their littermates, and put them each in their own cages. Rasui is usually pretty good when I take her out, UNLESS we have Mnoti out at the same time, who is a BIG scaredy pants, and then Rasui starts getting skittish too as a result. We are having to work on them one at a time, individually.
So far, it's working out pretty nicely. They don't run or hide as much when we try to take them out. They are more likely to venture out on their own too, when we open up the side of their cages. We aren't working on Mnoti as of yet, but we do take her out when we take the other two out and let them all play together for some time. We don't want them to forget each other, as they might wind up being in a cage to share again.
We were talking, and we've decided we want to breed mice. As well as our betas and guppies/minnows. We can breed the minnows for bait, but all our minnows are babies still. Wont even know what sex they are for another 4-5 months. O.O So, in the mean time, we have the guppies. We'll see if we can't get some buyers for the babies, and save that money and get a female crown tail beta, to mate with Lestat and Rhett, our veil tail betas.

Our Happy Family...
...even if it is small, it's perfect for us. Just want to express my love for the family that I have, here in Georgia. My family. Not necessarily blood family, but my little family that Kash and I have made for ourselves. Soon we hope to merge our family with Ann's little family she has there, but for the time being, it's just Kash and I, and our 'kids'. The babies.
They still run from us when ever we get to close to the cage, but I'm positive that over time, everything will be okay. Even more so, there will come a day where they come running up to us and asked to be taken out. It is very obvious they were not handled at ALL in PetSmart. From now on, I think we'll get any animals from small breeders, vs pet stores.
I had always heard relatively good things about PetSmart or Petco, vs. Mall Shoppes. However, we've discovered that through the purchase of these little babies, PetSmart isn't the way to go either, if you're looking for a pet, that is used to being handled, and likes to be handled. Animals such as this you need to do this from the time they are babies.
Other wise, like these three, they are scared of humans, scared of contact, scared of sounds, anything other than what they have grown up in, which would be a small five gallon tank, with bedding, a hide away and about 10 other mice. It's part of the reason we chose to get three, vs. one or two. The fact there was so many they were used to.
We didn't want to completely change their world, we were changing it enough by taking them out of that aqaurium life, and putting them in a multilevel mice cage, with multiple wheels, lots of things to play on and in, and a view. They are happy, just still very skittish. Hopefully though, things will be alright in the end.
Here are some pics that we've taken recently of them. Hope you all enjoy. Nimmo's doing well, btw.
