The Youth And Beauty Brigade
I have really been slacking off when it comes to posting news. I apologize.A few weeks ago Willie and I were bored and decided to come up with a secret handshake. We then started refering to ourselves as a club, because we have a secret handshake and do you know who else has a secret handshake? Thats right, clubs. A week or two later we randomly came up with a motto for our club, "we have nice hats and scarves." A few minutes later we took a Decemberists song and made it into our club name, The Youth and Beauty Brigade. Since that point our club has progressed quite a bit. We have the beginnings of a charter, a logo (which we are having put on stickers and t-shirts), various ministries (including the ministry of free cake, which I am sure there will be a post about), a battle cry, a club song, a back up club song and a weekly club activity with more to come. Today we welcomed what we like to refer to as our aquatic ambassadors to the YABB. We have official club fish! We haven't worked out their names yet, but we are working on it.
And this is just a fun IM conversation Kiyomi and I had on the subject.
Me: willie and i got fish
Kiyomi: god you two are married. where does it live?
Me: they live in a bowl on my dresser. there are two of them
Kiyomi: hank isnt even cold in his grave yet and you have TWO new hussies in his bowl?!!?!?!
Me: what are you talking about? Hank died almost two months ago!!
Kiyomi: maybe you can forget so easily but some of us cant!!! we're not ready to let go!
Me: i have made my peace with his death. it was his time. After all, he was a fish that couldn't swim. A rare and special breed that is doomed to a short time on this earth.
Kiyomi: the candle that burns the brightest burns the shortest
Me: so true so true
Kiyomi: so what are these new ones like?
Me: one looks like he is either a pirate or got into a bar fight. he has a black eye.
Me:or an eye patch, depending on how you look at it
Kiyomi: that one is willies isnt it
Me: yeah
Kiyomi: i can see him getting the pirate fish
Me: the other one is a cool light yellow color. the pirate one is all calico too.
Kiyomi: awesome, hope you know a named fish dies quicker
Me: well at the moment they don't have names, we haven't come up with anything yet. but their default names are Marx and Engles.
Wait a second. Kiyomi weren't you the one who was out to destroy Hank?
I'll have more news and all that after finals end.

Well we named them. Willie's is The Importance of Being Ernest Shackelton and mine is Yoshimi. We are currently on the look out for a little pink robot to put in the bowl so she can battle it....or at very least swim around it.
