Goldfish Funeral


Dear Diary,

Yesterday I went to my roommate's goldfish funeral. It was held in our bathroom at 10 AM, Pacific Standard Time.

The event was attended by me and my 3 other roommates. At 10:02 AM, my roommate who owned the goldfish took the stand on the edge of the shower tub and mused about how the goldfish, Goldie by name, had made all our lives so much happier and how much we are going to miss her going round and round in her little glass bowl in our living room.

At 10:04 AM, we witnessed it going round and round the same way in the toilet when we flushed it. It was fun. But touching at the same time.

The funeral ended at 10:05 AM sharp, and then we served little goldfish crackers to ourselves.

Later, as I was just about to pop my 25th cracker in the mouth, I noticed it's coloring. It was the exact same shade as Goldie. Suddenly I was overwhelmed with emotion. I wanted an outlet. So I decided to start an online blog where I can go on and on about my day to you, my dear diary. :)
