New Beta!

His name is yuugure–bright and vividly red like the sunset. He’s like a small flame–I forget how active and feisty betas can be since mine was sick. He passed away on Saturday–I buried him amidst many tears :( We went through so much together! I would have done anything for that little fish and regret all the things I must have done wrong. I’m deeply sorry if my actions hastened his death–I sincerely pray they didn’t but if they did I’m willing to do everything I can to repent. And he had such a difficult life.

Now I have yuugure–he’s beautiful and loves his new rock home. I never gave Gypsy anything in his bowl–my roommate said they like simplicity and a confined space. I’m not sure how much of that is true–but I’ve learned at least that they’re finiky eaters.

I’m making a lollita costume with Cassi!! I’m super excited but I have to work out and lose a lot of weight–big problem XP

I had an interview with Anthropologie last Wednesday–I still haven’t heard back but I’m definitely hoping they’ll call!!
