Why Did I Bother?

So I just found this photo editing site called Aviary (and when I say 'I just found' I mean my SIL found it and sent me the link) which finally lets me screw around with pictures. And hey, Apple? Why don't I have anything like MS Paint on my Mac? Sure it sucks, but I could've been posting photos like this for years now.

Fish.egg on AviaryFish.egg on Aviary.

Fish: Dude, you're so lame. Why not admit that you just don't have any ideas? Why even post at all?
Me: Shut up.
Fish: You didn't even do anything to the picture, just added some text.
Me: I'm tired. It's been a long day.
Fish: Hey you! Ya, you reading this. Don't even bother commenting, he doesn't deserve it.
Me: Look, Mr. Fishy, it's the toilet!
*flush*
Fish: Damn Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

PS. WTF?! Why does the whole photo show up in Preview but not when it's published? Gah!

    *spends a few seconds dithering as torn between chastising Dumbass for lameness, telling a fish joke or simply not commenting at all. Decides not to comment*

    yeah we all have days that need a post and nothing to do...but the fish did sacrifice for this one. Another one bites the dust. . .

    I think your words cut off on the side of the pic?? I have been playing with picasso a little. I have a new appreciation for photo shopped pictures now. You can spend forever playing with the pics to get it just right.

    Some days you're the fish. Some days you're the crapper.

    Today I choose to be the fish. Although Beta's sorta suck so I'm gonna be a Goldfish. They eat a lot and so do I.

    Nothing tops the traumatic moment when my mom flushed my newborn baby gerbils many a year ago...wasn't their fault my sister couldn't tell the adult gerbil she gave me wasn't a 'buddy' for my boy gerbil but what turned out to be his sex slave...so actually the trauma is her fault-stupid cow...oh yea, the fish, they live in water, he's probably fine! And fyi..the whole picture showed up in my Google reader, so that's weird? I'll shut up now.

    I'm here to tell everyone that fish do NOT have a 3 second memory, as portrayed in one of my science fair projects. Hypothesis: I can train a fish. Method: I shined (shone?) a light at the end of the tank and then put food at that end. Did this a few times, and in the end all I had to do was shine the light and the fish would come swimming down to the end, waiting for the food. I got an A.

    That fish is going to turn into a monster in the sewer system, come back and gnaw you to death in your sleep, then take over your blog.

    Fish: Dude! You F-ing cut my tail off.

    CDA: Have you looked at my name lately?

    Hee hee.

    You just need to go into edit posts and drag the corner of your picture inward until it is smaller and post it. Repeat this process (shrink by dragging the corner inward) and re-post until everything fits on the screen!! It's just that simple. :)

    And that IS one sexy fish. I'd do him.
