argh, tired. once again, this saddens me.

ok, so behold the trauma of the almighty fish buddy. kinda long, but triumphant goodness... ha, informative if nothing more:
ThatsASin: we had a near-tragedy yesterday
noel762: oh?
ThatsASin: i was carrying fishbuddy out of the car in his little plastic cup, and my mom came to the door and offered to hold the cup because i had a lot of other stuff in my hands
noel762: uh huh
noel762: was it a red plastic cup?
ThatsASin: ha, no, clear...he came in it
ThatsASin: so it's being disputed whether i let go too early or she didn't have a good enough grip on it
ThatsASin: but at any rate, it ends up being dropped, the cup breaks, and the fish falls out onto the floor
noel762: oh oh oh!
ThatsASin: luckily, we had some spring water nearby and i managed to get him back into his aquarium before he suffocated
ThatsASin: but he definitely was hurt or in shock and we had to cancel some plans for a post-graduation lunch so i could try nursing him back to health...plus i was pretty angry with my mom because i felt like it was her fault
noel762: awh
noel762: ya cancelled plans for fish buddy?
noel762: how sweet
ThatsASin: yeah, i had to drive over to the pet store and buy some "stress coat" to help fend off the shock
ThatsASin: i can't remember ever driving that fast before
noel762: haha
noel762: oh man
noel762: what's stress coat?
ThatsASin: haha
ThatsASin: well, fish generally produce a slight coating of algae (or an algae-like substance, i dunno) when they're healthy...it helps fight off diseases and other things
ThatsASin: when they get sick or really stressed out, they lose the coating...so this is basically just some liquid algae stuff you put in the water to replace it
noel762: ahh, i c
noel762: wow, ya really did get all up on it
ThatsASin: my mom couldn't understand why i was so mad... although i guess it's possible in retrospect that it was at least partially my fault, so i feel bad about it now
noel762: did u scream obscenities at her wildly?
noel762: did u push her down some steep stairs?
ThatsASin: haha, no
noel762: did u glare into her eyes with the burning fury of a thousand suns?
noel762: cuz if not, i'm thinking she'll get over it
ThatsASin: i guess i just got kind of hostile, then i got even more angry because she refused to apologize
ThatsASin: i did sort of glare at her a lot
noel762: haha
noel762: ahh, that's delightful
noel762: so the fish is ok?
ThatsASin: well, for the first few hours afterward he barely moved at all and was really pale...so that was scary
noel762: pale? interesting
noel762: i didn't know they could b
ThatsASin: he seems to have recovered now, though...
noel762: i think the whole incident would b a great short & silent film
ThatsASin: haha...y'know, you're right
ThatsASin: maybe i can tell my mom that to lighten up the situation
noel762: yes. tell her that she should b proud that she raised a young man with such compassion & dedication
noel762: turn it into a compliment of her somehow
ThatsASin: haha
noel762: she'll get distracted
ThatsASin: good thinkin'
noel762: hey, i do what i can
ThatsASin: i guess i feel bad because my mom said everyone was proud of me for graduating or whatever, then when i got mad at her it "ruined the day"
ThatsASin: and i'm like, dude, you nearly killed my fish

and then later, i hadda go jeff style (i know, i know...):
noel762: ha, i so thought like a dad for a second- i was like heh, well that's one heck of a fish tale ahahaha!
ThatsASin: hahaha
ThatsASin: oh man
noel762: yeah, i'm sorry, i hadda
*whew* kudos to ryan for protecting his dear sweet scaley friend
