So a few weeks ago I decided I wanted a fish. I wanted one of those goldfish in those classic round bowls with a shipwreck in it, perticularly. Today, since it was the last day of summer, was a perfect day to start my quest. Erin came over and we made cookies, then we decided the stores would be open (she came over really early), so we began.
Tropic Waters was our first stop. There we found a bowl. It wasn't completely round, but it would do. We also found a shipwreck and the perfect goldfish. Of course, I decided I wanted to look at my options, so we went to another store.
At Petco we found nothing but a poor fish selection, plastic crapy bowls and absolutely no shipwrecks. I did buy the bottom rock things there though...they're green.
So back to Tropic Waters. We bought the bowl and shipwreck and went home.
Back at home, we filled up the bowl and waited for the water to become room temp. In the meantime we swam and walk the dogs. Then I had a haircut appointment, so Erin left. (I like it by the way) After that my family and I ate dinner, then went to Shopko then, of course, back to Tropic Waters.
I knew exactly which fish I wanted, so I went up and told one of the hott guys working there that I wanted a fish. I directed him to the exact one, got some food and bought it. (But of course my mom and Laura had to look at all the birds and such).
Finally I had my fish. My quest was complete. I already had a name picked out for him. Can you geuss what it was? I'll give you a hint: When Erin gets her fish she's going to name it George.
Do you know what it is now. Well if you don't, it's Fred, in memory of one of my favorite redhaired twins who is sadly deceased.
Oh and I saw a black fish with popping eyes and my mom wanted me to get one of them and name it Severus, but there isn't enough room in my bowl. :(

Haha, that was a great story! I was going to get a fish when I was in 6th or 7th grade but got a rabbit instead. His name is Merlin in case you didn't know. I should probably go and take a shower because we had an away match today and I'm all sweaty and nasty.
i used to have inside fish, but they all died. we now have fish outside in our pond. they had babies. its so sweet to name your fish Fred. i was devastated when he died. that was the only time i cried in all 7 hp books. i didn't even cry when Dumbledore died
YAY i want a fish.
I had fish but they all died too. You should include a picture of the fish (and bowl) and your hair cut. If your fish ever dies (hopefully in years)you can get Severus:)
