Out with the old and on with the new

We had funeral services for Cumby on Saturday. It was a beautiful ceremony. We tried to have a viking funeral, but the darn thing wouldn't catch on fire even though we drenched it in hair spray, so we ended up flushing him. Adam thought that maybe he was just faking it, like Nemo, to get back to the sea. In which case, its a good thing we flushed him. :) Here are some pictures from the most unfortunate of occasions:

We tried taking pictures of us being sad, but Emily kept making me laugh, so they didn't really come out real good. We wrote his eulogy that I read as he was *coughs* burning. It went a little something like this...

Two long years

have come and gone

Without you,

how can we possibly move on?

You fought through the hard times,

both freezing and freezing-er.

You were there for the good times

always bringing us together.

You side stepped the flip-flops, the flood and the fire

and through it all

you didn't even perspire.

We will miss your heart,

your face and your soul.

Enjoy fish heaven,

I hope it's in a bowl.

Yeah, awesome right? After the funeral, Emily and Brittney got all sneaky on me and they brought out a new beta fish for me. They are so nice and thoughtful. As I was thinking of what to name him, they suggested either Bruce Wayne or Jack Napier. Napier is the Joker's real name in Tim Burton's version of batman. Needless to say, I went with Jack. I don't know if its because of my seriously unexplainable fixation with the Joker or the fact that Heath Ledger plays him in the new movie and well...he's hott. haha. Not with all the make-up, mind you. Jack has a streak of red down his fins so it makes me think of the Joker anyway. We're going to have a fun relationship. Just the other day, Emily was being silly about a certain matter we were talking about, and I was feeding Jack and so I said, "Jack...ask Emily, 'why so serious?'" *said in the Joker's voice* She freaked out and it was great. Love you girl! Here's to you! haha. She's seriously been so great...especially these last few days. Things keep coming up and some days I'm an emotional wreck. I feel bad...I'm not as fun as I was at the end of last semester. I hope she's not rethinking her decision to live with me this year! hahah...I'm shaking out of it though, so I hope my lack of fun wont last much longer. Anyway, she's downstairs watching Smallville so I'm gonna go watch it with her. Who wouldn't you know? I'm a sucker for Superman...especially in the form of Tom Welling. With that said, peace out! :)

P.S. I'm starting to read Midnight Sun which is the first Twilight book but from Edwards point of view. I'm falling in love with him all over again. Its great. Read it. You'll love it. (although, be warned, its not finished, so it stops right before the meadow scene....) :)
