Days ahead should be better... (was: So today not so good. More sad....)

Today, today was the closing of the G4 forums. With the network ending the forums have to as well. Well they were pretty much the first message board I'd joined. So I got a small amount of sadness that the small amount of hope of G4 recovering from the mess of the network is gone. Sure I hadn't even visited those forums in about 5 years. Still there was that hope that's now gone.

But whatever that's small amount of sad compared to what just happened to me in real life. I had some pet shrimp and I enjoyed watching them play and swim around. "Had" being the operative word. Shortly after the G4 forums closed I lost something much more precious to me. My pet shrimp. I saw the final moments. Granted it wasn't like they were dying at the exact same time. It been happening over the course of a few weeks. Seeing one die after another. Then today I lost the one remaining shrimp I had. THIS IS NOT OKAY DAMN IT!!! FUCK! I loved those little shrimp.

To top it off I accidentally injured my hands earlier so it's not exactly painless typing this. I just wanted to make a thread so I can just get some sadness out here. Didn't want to drag it into other threads. Also helps me vent a little.

Today fuck it. All this fucking stuff happening today... fffffffuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Thanks Warbler and doubleKO. They were Hawaiian Red Brine (Halocaridina rubra) Shrimp different from the hybrid "Artemia NYOS" aka sea monkeys. I gotta say watching them really make me appreciate my eyesight. Seeing their ten hind legs propel them as they swam. Seeing them pick their food up with their four hands(or maybe claws is the "official" term. Whatever I call them hands).

And hell yeah they had personality! This one time one of them tried to build a tower with the gravel until she or he took a break then another one came along and knocked it over. The other shrimp returned to see their tower knocked over stopped for a minute or so. Then swam away in a "fuck this shit" kind of manner. In retrospect I really should've made a documentary out of them. There was a lot of personality in them.

Well today my hands are feeling better so there's that at least.

My condolences Twist. Sounds like you're bouncing back, though, so more power to you.

Thanks bkev! Yeah well my hands getting better certainly has helped with that as well.
