  as you'll read in ocean's blog, fish can feel pain. when i woke up this morning and was preparing to go home, i was in the living room of the guys' apartment getting my crap together when ocean announced this to me, in lieu of greeting.
"they've proved that fish have feelings," he declared. the thing is, i thought he said, " you've proved that fish have feelings," which got me to thinking, "i did? wow, i'm barely awake, and already i'm doing awesome things. " i knew i was a scientist at heart. although i'd much rather be described as a poet at heart, an artist at heart, even a cat lover at heart, because- as several embarrassing anecdotes involving high school science labs gone horribly, horribly wrong could prove- i've never really been one for the science. the math, either, unless it has to do with calculating my ultimate savings from marked down jeans off the clearance rack. that's me- perpetuating gender stereotypes left and right. but hey- who else in the room can say they've proved that fish have feelings?
huh? huh? oh wait, i didn't do that either.
