Biology today was not noteworthy.

I warn you, the next few paragraphs are chicken-talk, so the vast majority of my friends-list is probably going to be baffled. In fact, I don't think there's anyone on my friends-list who will understand this fully. XD;

After Biology, I got a call from Ridge Feed saying that Sumatras aren't available until June, but they're still planning on ordering me some Golden and Silver Sebrights. So, we went by and because I'd been thinking earlier today about how I'd like some Mille Fleurs, I put an order in for them. (So, order tally: Five Golden Sebrights, five Silver Sebrights, and five Mille Fleur d'Uccles set to come in on April 5th. Plus five Sumatras I'm going to order in June). Total: Twenty chicks so far.

To recap: My original plan, way back in January or whenever that was, was to order about five or six baby chicks.

However, our saga has not reached its conclusion yet. For I went in the back and discovered--Ridge Feed had BB Red English game bantams. These are, of course, one of my absolute FAAAVORITE breeds, but unfortunately the ones at the feed store are unsexed. Well, I'm going to end up with a rooster or two, so might as well get four of 'em. And--hey, Ryan wants a cochin! Let's get a cochin, too.

So, total chickens I'm planning on getting in the next three months or so? TWENTY-FIVE. How many I have in my room with me right now, peeping? Five. How many set to arrive in two weeks? Fifteen.

Yeah, five or six chicks. Suuure.

(To my credit, my chicken coop can't support all those chickens, so I'm going to sell all but maybe two of each breed I order, plus Ryan's cochin if it isn't a rooster (which, uh, totals to to eleven chickens, which is still more than I was planning on getting). But--STILL. WTF am I thinking?!)

I have a bad headache now so I'd better go to bed. Sorry 'bout all the chicken-babble. I'm just a little obsessed.

Hey, headache aside--it's Friday, I've got five chicks in my room, CC and Tia are both on my bed looking adorable, and I've got the whole weekend to sit around and do nothing get lots done!

I have chickens too! But they're just boring white lab-chickens... :( and one of them ran away and got lost or eaten or something.

You do?! Yay, that's cool. XD; I collect exotic, rare, and beautiful chickens, haha! I'm weird like that.

Also, sorry I couldn't make it to SacAnime! I'd be happy to send you the white fur if you e-mail me your address. My e-mail is phoenixfreedom @ yahoo . com, without the spaces.

hehe i wish i had beautiful chickens.. XD but i don't have a coop for them so i'm pretty sure that they'd just get eaten by cats :(

Oh, okay then! I just thought you might've had a deadline or something for when you wanted it. In that case, I'll just bring some to Fanime for you. :D

Awww. :(

lol nah i just wanted to maybe make ears and use the fur as trim XD i couldn't find any nice stuff at joann's unfortunately.

augh also i need to make my suzumiya cosplay soon but i CANNOT find the right blue fabric!!!! I found some lightweight stuff that might've worked (it was the right color) at Walmart, but they didn't have enough!!! (it was the last bit..) bah, i wanted something a bit more heavyweight/smooth and of course in the right solid color, but am not having any luck. you?! (lol i made my haruhi headband though, it is SO cool XD)

You could special order it! Especially with the smaller fabric stores, they usually have a bunch of swatches with different types of fabric you can order. It's a good thing, too, because for my Teto costume I need all these types of fur that the fabric store I go to doesn't normally carry. Fake fur is so expensive, but at least I found the right kinds. -_-;

Also, maybe you could try a different Walmart? Or ask when they're going to restock that type of fabric.

You could order it online, too. I've never ordered fabric online before, but it could be a final resort...

I'm definitely looking forward to your Haruhi costume! Eee, I'll have to get lots of pictures! I always love your costumes. :D

XD
