Lizards

After that guy (read earlier journal entries) tryed to scam me i've had 2 emails from reptile owners offering their males for Avie's pleasure and, after deciding on Lazurus (spelling?) a gorgeous red males we brought him home on saturday.

the intial meeting was pretty awsome to watch, if not promising - they fought - but today they mated!

But why "I've trained her well" is because little Avs only seemed to get in the mood when Nine Inch Nails started playing out of my computer. my little heavy metal baby.

So that means that (hopefully - fingers cross) in four months i'll have little Avie/Laz's running around everywhere! and she hopefully won't lay now until I'm back from Canberra (I'm leaving on Sunday, will be away for two weeks).

So excited and so happy (and a little er, dirty is probably the best word, as they did start the whole thing on my lap...) and worried, as now Lazurus is displaying at me... hmm, maybe he should go back down stairs....

1. After giving them your number to call you and discus the future purchase they "try several times but always just get your voice mail" when your phone has been on and next to you all day

2. You discover that the animals you are looking to purchase are actually in a differant country and, being animals native to THIS country, it would therefore be illegal to ship them back here

3. The pictures they send you of the "adult pairs" are of babies no more than 6 months old

4. The email you get from the so called shipping company is very unprofesional and writen with the same style and mannerisms as the guy you have been emailing in the first place

5. The shipping company doesn't exist

6. The 'shipping company' is using a "graffitti.net" email account (that's like hotmail)

7. Neither the 'shipping company' nor the guy you've been emailing seems the least be concerned that the animals are going to be seriously stressed out and traveling on planes for 4 days to reach you and probably would die on the way over

8. The guy is in Cameroon and yet not in the Cameroon phonebook,/p>

9. The guy's phone number doesn't exist

10. (and this is what originally got me concerned) the first email you get from them is an attachment of pretty coloured font

11. (and the cherry on the cake) In the first email back to him you ask what shipping company in australia he's going to use. He doesn't respond with that information so you ask again, and offer a company name. In the next email he tells you it's the company you suggested

12. (and the whipped cream topping) He just happened to have been in Brisbane last week visiting a friend who he gave some of the other animals to (yeah, another reason i was sceptical, you don't just give away $600 lizards at the cost of shipping - $180)

Now I'm pissed. 'cause if he'd been for real (and/or legal) I'd have a gorgeous boy lizard to satisfy my horny Avarice.

Anyone know why this image --> www.ipernity.com/doc/agamid/424364 isn't loading? or is it loading for you guys?

When i click on it it just comes up with a little yellow alert symbol with '404' writen on it... any ideas?

Went to The Cure concert on Wednesday night. it was sooo good. Fat Bob can still sing like an angel, was amazing - my ears still haven't fully recovered from standing in front on the speakers fro the whole 3 hours. Yeah you heard, 3 hourss of The Cure with three encores (the last covering almost the entire tracklist of Boys Don't Cry), and no support band. Fantastic.

In other news i just used up an entire film in about ten minutes (Avie was talking for the first time ever is all of the 3-4 years i've had her, was insane!) Pumpkin is back at the vet after that thing on his face came back, I'm geting Anne put down, I need new houses built for my lizards (hint-hint-nudge-nudge dad), and i quit uni for the rest of the year.

All in all a productive (and destructive) week i'd say...at least i'm doing artistic things again...
