i think one of my fishes is ready to lay eggs...her belly got really round all of a sudden....so it's either that or she really needs to poop! so, if one of the other fishies is a boy, then we could be having babies soon! god, that would be so cool. i'd have to separate then pretty quickly so that the adults didn't eat them, but i can do that. i'll just get a whole bunch of little bowls and give everybody in the office a couple of babies.

i added a new link to my links page. i've discovered that i'm pretty picky about journals...most of the ones i've come across are so messy looking, or try to sound too intellectual. i hate that...nobody really talks like that , so why do they think they should write like that?

paul and i have been playing this game for the last few days...well, we haven't really played it by the rules. it's called i think, you think, i think and it has all these questions like 'if you were offered a great job in all of the following cities, which one would you take?' 1. Boston 2. New York 3. Miami 4. San Francisco......and the other person's supposed to guess what you would answer. it's like a test to see how well you know the other person.

well, it's been a lot of fun and sparked a lot of great conversations between us, but last night we were a little bit buzzing because we had our monthly happy hour after work and we ended up hurting each other's feelings.

in a nutshell, it told p i thought he wasn't very good at flirting and he thinks he's at least average at it...but i remember when we first started hanging out together, i never knew for sure if he liked me as a friend or something more. i guess it could've been me though, i  mean, i was just coming off a divorce and maybe i didn't catch the signals as well as i used to.

then for me there was a question about what my friends would say my best quality is....the answers were: honesty, intelligence, kindness, and something else that i can't remember...but he answered honesty almost immediately...which is good too, but i've always strived for people to think i'm intelligent, and i wanted him to answer that.

so, we ended up discussing it, and now i'm afraid to play that game again, even though it's been really fun up until that point.
