How it all began...

This is going to be long, but worth it, so bear with us.

Mags says: Check it out!
Leonie: Clicks
Mags: oww
Mags: I hurt from the laughing
Mags: my stomach...ouch
Leonie: it's hilarious
Leonie: "They're so dead, Pam. I mean, these are some dead fish. That one there, my prettiest one, it's the deadest."
Leonie: lol
Mags: heee
Leonie: "I'll tell you what you're going to do. You're going to take those fish and you're going to put them behind the tires of Master V's car and make him think he killed the fish by running over them."
Mags: I seriously hurt
Leonie: lol
Leonie: this is brilliant
Leonie: this is making me laugh out loud
Leonie: it really is
Mags: me too
Mags: but I think it hurt because I had to be quiet
Mags: because the roommate is sleeping
Leonie: arggg
Leonie: that's terrible
Leonie: it does indeed hurt like hell
Mags: that's maybe my favorite thing
Mags: that is so the cousin for me
Mags: The Cousin For Me
Mags: scroll about half way down for my new favorite phrase
Leonie: I'm still catching up
Leonie: I laugh
Leonie: then stop reading
Leonie: then re read
Leonie: laugh again
Leonie: takes some time to finish it all
Mags: heh
Mags: k
Leonie: AB is so the cousin for me
Mags: exactly
Mags: I feel like I know her
Mags: and...it would be possible that I do
Leonie: that fish thing is one of the funniest things I've read in a long while
Mags: she was living in Arlington when that happened
Leonie: man, what's wrong with me
Mags: 30 minutes from where I lived for 10 years
Leonie: cool
Mags: and I'm sure I don't know her, but she even looks familiar
Leonie: she's one of those people you *wish* you knew, and therefore your mind's playing games on ya to convince you you do
Mags: yeah
Mag: like that dream I had where Sars was my psych professor....
Mags: kind of
Leonie: yeah
Leonie: they're 'I wish I had a sister like that' people
Leonie: or a cousin
Mags: heh
Leonie: oh my
Leonie: I'm in this sick state of mind now
Leonie: where I'm half hoping my fish will die
Leonie: so I can put them behind the car wheels
Leonie: and blame my dad
Mags: oh my god
Mags: but them behind cycle wheels
Mags: and blame a housemate
Leonie: lol
Leonie: I'd have to buy fish first though
Leonie: because my fish are at home
Leonie: that would be an interesting shopping afternoon
Mags: you could do that
Mags: go to the market
Mags: and buy a small fish
Mags: that hasn't been cleaned
Leonie: "Excuse me, could you tell me which fish will die in a few days?"
Leonie: right
Leonie: and tell them it's my pet fish
Mags: yeah
Mags: tell them...
Leonie: and they've *killed* it
Mags: you're...Fishian
Leonie: cue drama
Mags: and you can only eat fish you've killed yourself
Mags: and now you're going to go hungry
Leonie: what will I do?
Mags: because you spent all the money you had on that fish
Leonie: I know
Leonie: also, it's spirit will haunt me forever
Mags: make them buy you alcohol
Mags: to fill your stomach
Leonie: because it was killed in a non-Fishian way
Mags: and wash away your tears
Mags: exactly
Mags: make up some Dutch word for it though
Leonie: I'm *so* tempted
Leonie: we speak English here
Mags: to make it sound real
Mags: you can say it's a Dutch thing though
Leonie: true
Mags: and they'll feel stupid for not knowing
Mags: which makes it even better
Leonie: I should create some mock up website to prove it
Leonie: I mean, everybody thinks I'm crazy anyway
Leonie: might as well have a little fun
Mags: do they really think you're crazy?
Mags: do any of them have fish?
Mags: start looking at the fish REALLY hungrily
Mags:like you're just gonna start snacking any second
Leonie: lol
Leonie: they don't think I'm crazy
Leonie: they don't quite get the sarcasm most of the time though
Mags: but you should do that
Leonie: we're not allowed to have pets though
Mags: and you should be like "I've been trying to fit in ever since school started...I just don't understand the way you eat..."
Leonie: including fish
Mags: I covet your fishies
Mags: oh
Mags: darn
Mags: that sucks
Leonie: yeah...
Leonie: it's so damn hilarious though
Mags: do it anyway
Leonie: we should start our own blog with these conversations in it
Mags: buy a fish from the market
Mags: we should
Mags: "Fishism"
Leonie: heh
Leonie: 'this ie so your cousin'
Mags: Leonie and Fishism are so the cousins for me
Leonie: Is it national dyslexia day?
Mags: no
Mags: and since you spelled dyslexia correctly
Leonie: Mags and Fishism are so the cousins for me
Mags: you can't use that as an excuse
Mags:ok
Leonie: damn
Mags: we're starting a site right now
Leonie: we are
Leonie: blogspot?
Mags: Fishism.blogspot.com?
Leonie: yes please

Of course 'fishism.blogspot.com' had to be taken by some scandinavian update slacker, so here we are... "Fischism". Freudian, mysterious... has a nice ring to it, no?
