I'm back in AUstin! My goldfish survived the trip. I was asked if I wanted to put them on the floor on the car so I would be more comfortable, but I chose to cradle them instead.
"Hey Christy! I brought goldfish!!"
"Pepperidge Farm Goldfish?"
"NO! Real goldfish!"
"blah blah.. something about studying all day yesterday"
"Yay! I love my goldfish.."
"Shut up! I have to analyze a whole bach's choral!"

My suitemake wakes up. I run out:
"I have GolDfish!"
she also thinks I'm talking about the kind you eat..
CHristy: "Why diDN't you bring the kind you can eat?!"
moi: "ShudDUP!"

I'm gonna go buy a tank now. yay!
