So me and my boyfriend just spent almost $200 saving these leopard geckos from PetLand in the mall. It is absolutley repulsive how skinny and infected these animals are. You can see every single bone in their body and one of them has absolutley no color on their skin from not getting any nutrition. I'm afraid to touch him or pick him up because he's so frail and skinny. The guy who sold them to us at PetLand said that he bought them like that and that the really skinny one just never had an appetite. Funny... the instant I put a small cricket in his cage, he gobbled it right up and looked for more. This leads me to believe that these fuckers just never fucking fed them. I wanted to sock that crosseyed bastard right in the nose when he told me that it was normal for them to be that skinny. *shakes head*

The one in front isn't as skinny as the one in the back but they're both incredibly emaciated and malnourished.

I want to take more pictures and send them to somebody who will make PetLand take better care of their reptiles or close them down. These weren't the only disgustingly skinny reptiles in the store but we just didn't have the money to buy all of them. I barely have enough money to take care of these but my mom is going to help me out.

Shit like this just makes me sad. Argh.

Other than that... things have been fine around here. I finally got my diploma, our animals are beautiful, the weather is beautiful and we're getting our own apartment soon with a couple of our closest friends. And I turn 18 in about a week and a half [July 2nd]. I really have no complaints about life right now.

I ♥ him so much.

So... It's been a while. Haha.

Not much has happened in the past few weeks. My mom is counting down the days until she gets here. 7 days until I get to see her. I miss her alot. Living away from her is a bit difficult but considering I've only been away from her 2 months, I think I'm doing pretty good. She'll be missing my 18th birthday but I don't mind but I'll have to call her alot on that day because she's upset that she's missing it. I have a feeling she's going to make up for missing my bday by spoiling me the whole time she's here. I have no objections to that whatsoever :)

Anyways.. I have lots of pictures to post so I hope you have something faster than dial up :-p

I finally got the pictures from my last day of high school:

Yesterday, me and M went to 2 graduation ceremonies. One to see Amberlina and some of my other friends graduate from Hellgate and one to see M's little brother and more of my friends graduate from Sentinel. Watching them made me wish I could walk in my graduation [which is on June 10th] but it wouldn't be as gratifying because I wouldn't be walking with people I acutally liked. That and I'd have to go back to California and I don't want to do that until I absolutely have to. Haha.


Kyndra, Me and Rosie.

Me and Amberlina take a serious picture?
NEVER.

This is James. James was my best friend and savior all through middle school. We helped eachother through crappy times and I honestly don't think I would have made it through those years without him. I couldn't get a hold of him before I moved to California so I lost touch with him for a while. He's moving to Minneapolis in August to go to some art college. I'm sad that I'm losing him again but I'll make DAMN sure we'll keep in touch this time. He's too awesome of a friend to lose again.

What's love without some slobber? hehe

And last but not least... our dear little kitten, Toaster

So, I've got some pictures for you guys :) I just realized that I posted these pictures on my other journal site and not this one. Ooopsie. Haha.

Me and M during New Year's a few hours before I left to get back on a plane to California. I don't have to do THAT anymore :)

I still haven't found a job. But I think I'm going to apply to Safeway to see if they need any night stockers. I need to get out there a little bit more. I'm being a big lazy bum.

Mom wil be visiting in a few weeks. I can't wait to see her. I can't wait to prove to her that her little girl isn't a little girl anymore. But mainly... I just want to hug her. Living this far away from her is proving to be more difficult than I had imagined.

Anyways... M's grandpa made hamburgers for us so it's time to get dressed and pig out :)

Until next time....

Okay... so I suppoise I should update about the past 2 weeks for all 2 of you that read this journal. Haha.

Life back in Montana is... beyond words. I couldn't express how happy I am to finally be home. I get to sleep next to my Matthiason again, I get to see Amberlina everyday again and I get to constantly be around the funniest and most creative people I've ever met.

The only real problems I've had is finding a job and getting a damn bank account. But those will be solved soon.

But for now, I have to get back to drinking beer.

TA!
