my turtle diedyup so... yesterday i found out my turtle finally died after 11 years... actually, not quite 11 years, tomorrow would have been his 11th birthday!
after i owned him for a few days i was told he wouldn't live 2 weeks, and look what happened.

after that i was told painted turtles only live 5 years in captivity, but that lasted much, much longer!
before you ask no, i am not sad.

he lived a looong life and died of old age, for the past few months i noticed him slowing down and becoming weaker with old age, and he happily died yesterday.
i've had this guy almost my entire life! it's going to be a bit weird not having him around... haha. i don't feel weird right now because right now i haven't truly comprehended that he is gone forever you know haha.
but after a few days with not checking on him and feeding him i think i'll get it.
well! wow a whole 11 years! now that was something.

thank youFor all the nice comments and support from everyone who showed concern for me over the past couple weeks...
I read every single one of your comments and some of your life stories and your own experiences, and every one was really nice. not a single one of them was trollish, angry or anything [which on most of my 'big' drawings and such have at least one of those a lot of the time] and i may not have replied to them all but i want you to know i really appreciate it, all of them.
remember my grandparents are not only in a better place but are in an unimaginable, incomprehensibly, infinitely better place.

Just the Absolute Biggest Coincidence...EDIT: HEY LOOK WHAT APPEARED AT #1 ON THE FRONT PAGE TODAY:

Okay, I have the biggest need to share this with practically everyone I know, so here goes.
Alright, so I just read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams [excellent book and series, read them please] and so I imagine the main character, Arthur Dent, to look exactly like Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit. [The film... I just finished reading that book too, haha.]
So Bilbo Baggins was played by Martin Freeman.
And after reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy I decided to watch the movie and see how decent it was.
And I said, "Hm, that would be awesome if Martin Freeman was the actor for Arthur Dent. After all, that is my perfect headcannon..."
And so it happened. :iconmingplz:
I nearly flipped a table.

What to say after a guy insults you[Read this slowly and with an accent for full effect~]
"Alright, alright, I may be stupid, dumb, and just plain ignorant, but I know your secret!"
"Uh..."
"Yep! That's right! You can't fool me, no way, because I know that you're... actually... A DUDE! You can't hide behind them girlish features and excessive mascara forever!"

EDIT: *cough* some have asked me what to say if it's a girl.
You say this.
"Behind all that cologne and those thick, manly eyebrows LAYS A WOMAN!!!!111!!"

YellowfangOkay, then.
Yellowfang was a ~~hippie~~ medicine cat. A cat who never fights in battles and stashes... "herbs"...

She had a raspy voice and yellow teeth.
Her pelt is dark gray, and her eyes are orange. The color of a lit cigarette and its contents. Even worse, her apprentice was CINDERpelt.
AND SHE DIED OF SMOKE. AHAAAAA.
~~Yellowfang's Secret: ...she was an addict, and look how horrible your children can turn out if you take drugs at the same time!?~~

i've found my inner passionafter years and years of planning and working hard to figure out exactly what i will be doing my ENTIRE life working...
i have finally, finally found my inner passion.
i'm going to be
the garbage man.
my soul radiates with a fiery love for garbage.
no other sensation like dumping heaps of waste have i ever experienced before
i know it is my true destiny.

My Grandpa died.

Journal Entry: Sat Feb 2, 2013, 2:24 PM

yup.

...

he was a good guy, he was a wonderful christian guy and he gave it his all to serve Him.

He was old, in pain, and he literally starved to death. He was well past his 90's. [he was my great grandpa]

However, he thought he was 115.

So yes, I'm sad, but i know he is much, much happier now.
