welcome back hummer

dear carnations are flowers (reincarnations are not) diary,

i used to have many fish. i still have the one big tank i keep my snake in, but half my life ago i had many tanks and my favorite ones were the saltwater tanks full of coral and colorful fish the freshwater tanks just couldn't give. i had a palm sized prized trigger fish that i named 'hummer' and i had her for quite awhile. she was an ornery creature of the sea and practically ruled my aquarium. she had a horn on her head and little mini horns on her side and when i came home and found her flipped out on the couch i was crushed. i'd left the lid up and she escaped and committed suicide. i flushed my pet fish and never gave her another thought- until my toilet wouldn't flush anymore and i had to call swartz properties and they had to come and take my toilet off and there she was... again. for some reason that fish came up in my conversation twice today, once around noon and then six hours later with someone COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, and then i sit down and watch tv and see this.....

i think that fucking fish has come back to life around noon today and is going to haunt me because i don't even watch that show OR talk about flushing that fish.....
