These next few posts will be dedicated to stories about various ridiculous things that happen to me...involving animals. This next story happened first semester freshman year...on a floor full of people I had never met.
1) pick a day where your roomate is already having a bad day
2) decide you want to surprise your roomate with something they really love, preferably something alive (like fish)
3) get your friends to drive you to walmart and help you pick out the cutest fish (or animal) possible
4) buy a tank (or whatever the animal needs), food, gravel, and 2 adorable fish
5) go to your friend's room, set up the fish tank, and tell everyone of the surprise for your roomate
6) be sure NOT TO READ the directions, especially the part that says to clean the bowl and gravel, and to put the fish in their bag in the tank to acclimate them to the temperature
7) instead, just put the fish in the bowl immediately and present them to your roomate
8) celebrate in your roomate's happiness and begin discussing names
9) during this name discussion, notice that the fish are going into convulsions
10) call your other friends to help you extract the fish and place them in a bowl of distilled water from your RA
11) watch your fish DIE!
12) appologize to your roomate and try to convince her that you wanted to make her day better, not worse
13) go to bed and cry.
