It's Like Trying to Fit a Computer Into an IPod Sleeve.

So I was eating chopped strawberries today (with sugar on them...my favorite) and was thinking about absolutely nothing but how wonderful the strawberries tasted. It was a nice feeling.

I came up with the title's analogy last night, while thinking of how adults try to be teenagers. It seems as though there are too many of them. I'm guessing they just don't want to grow up. But then, since time forces them to, their minds still stay a little bit young. But then when their kids get to be that age, the adults are trying to be best friends with their kid(s) friends. And it's just...not possible to be that. There is a point when it just gets ridiculous. The kid will just be not happy. The adult had their time to be a teenager, and they choose now to try to take that away from their kid. And it does take away from it, because kids need to be kids, adults need to be adults, teenagers need their time to be a teenager.

The adults who get it right are the reasonable ones. They keep to themselves, but can still have fun with their kid and their kids friends if the situation arises. Not a party pooper, but not trying to start a party that is destined to be a disaster. They are in touch with the child side of them, but still maintain the balance of being a responsible adult.

On a different note, I'm listening to Marcy Playground. They are awesome.

Xann is coming over! (I'm excited).

Much love, and cheers to sugared strawberries, one of the many lights of this world.

My Snails are at it Like Rabbits.

See the bubble with the circle and arrow by it? All those little specks are baby snails. Last night, I counted over ten of these little packs all over my tank. Less than five minutes after I had taken this picture, the snails had spread apart and set off to start their lives. That's a pretty fast hatching process, wouldn't you think? And I keep losing count every time I try to count how many snails there are. I'm pretty sure they'll keep my tank sparkly clean, given that they eat algae. I just hope they don't overtake the tank, if that's possible. And I hope they don't bug Jasey either. Both Toothpaste and Zoomacr_m died. I think they didn't eat, they probably hadn't figured out the whole food thing yet in the new environment.

Just thought I'd show you how much fun my snails are having. They aren't boys or girls, so they can mate with any other snail. And they have the necessary stuff so that if they need to reproduce they can do it all by themselves? Odd, right? Eh, and cool at the same time.

Good day.
