Yay! Guess who's here??
It's Gin! Woohoo!!!
No, not him... Haha!! (I wish...) The Gin I'm talking about is this one:



Hai! Sou desu yo! Gin is a black scorpion! Yeah, black though it may seem he's kinda brownish in the picture. Cool, huh? It's because of the lighting that's why he appeared a bit brownish. I bought him (not really sure if it's a he or a she but I consider Gin a he anyway) from Ted and JR (ECE batchmates), and this morning Ted brought him (with a container of course) during Elc 151.1 class. I don't really know what specie Gin belongs to and I didn't care to remember Gin's scientific name (Ted told me one time in the lab but it was, well, you know how scientific names are, and I was doing something, too, so I was torn between listening to Gin's scientific name and to go back to what I was doing at the time). I'll ask them more about Gin when I see them in school.
Gin looks like this one, don't you think?

Only Gin's a bit soily because of his place (yeah, I'm talking about him like he's some guy living in an apartment. Hahaha!!!) Really, when you look at Gin closely, you'll notice that he's shiny, too. Back to the picture, this specie here is an Emperor Scorpion (an Emperor befitting an Empress, how's that huh? Mahaha!!!) and so it would be extremely, rightly appropriate that I own a pet like this, Muhaha!
Anyway, during Elc 151.1, somebody asked me, "You like scorpions?" Hmmmn... maybe? To tell you something about me, I truly treasure animals and nature, and so I think it's just normal for me if I bought a scorpion. Aside from having a pet of my own in my dorm (and a companion at that, me being alone in my room), I would also like to take care of something. I can't possibly put a plant in my room (plants need sunlight and it's tiring to bring a plant in and out of the room). And I can't find a turtle bigger than those little ones I found in a mall, therefore, I couldn't buy a turtle (having found out from my previous roommates' experience when she had those turtles in the room that those tiny guys stink so quickly). A scorpion's more than fine.. Hihihi..
And then Mac, who was on my left, looked at Gin, who I placed on the couch said, "You like scorpions? I don't like scorpions, spiders, snakes... "
Irumi: Spiders and scorpions are okay with me. I don't care much about snakes, though.
Mac: Well, I don't really kill spiders when I see them. I let them go but I just don't like them. But maybe if it's a scorpion, I might possibly kill it.
Irumi looks cautiously at Mac while she reaches for Gin and takes him AWAY from Mac.
Hahaha!
During my classes, by the way, I left Gin in the laboratory. It's a cozy environment, HAHA!! And there would be the ECE people to take care of him (ok, not actually take care, just look at him, see if he's still moving or something, or just be plain amused, poke him here and there to wake him up and see what he can do as a scorpion, something like that...errr...). At lunch Kinsley fed him with this:
which is called a superworm (how's that? A SUPERworm for an Emperor Scorpion owned by an Empress... This is really getting awesome... Beautiful, just beautiful... Yumichika? I can hear you from here right now! Come over here! and be vain together with me, haha!). Ted actually told me that he fed Gin yesterday night so he's not supposed to eat until after three days. Cool, I only need to feed him every other three days. But I guess it didn't matter because when I looked over at Gin, he had already grabbed the superworm and started munching on it, head first. Of course, in due time, the superworm died (who wouldn't getting your head eaten off like that?). Gin was a slow-eater, I guess, that's a scorpion for you, and he was holding the worm the whole time and sipping the juice. I didn't see this, Kins and Kit were watching Gin and were saying all these stuff...
Kins: Gross! He's sipping the juice! Look!
Kit (eating chicken roll I think), looked for a while and walked away.
Me: Hahaha!!!
Kins: Hahaha!!! He's eating!
Kit: ...I'm eating...
I didn't get a picture of Gin eating, though... Um, sad. Another diet for Gin is this cricket here:
I think this isn't the same as the one with the bugs I saw at lunch. The ones I saw were a bit fatter and a bit darker in color. I asked JR about handling Gin and he told me not to directly get him with my hands, but rather, I take him from his place with a stick and then put him on my arms. Although Gin's sting is not really poisonous, (if you're allergic to bee sting, you can put in some cream called "name" I've forgotten), it's advisable not to wait to be stung.
In addition to taking care of Gin, he said that I not expose him to sunlight (Gin's a vampire!!!! Ooops, kidding... hihihi) and that I put him in a bigger place for him to move around. I'm already thinking of that one actually because I don't want to restrain his movements too much or he'll learn to be a bum one day. HAHA. Well, that's one reason and another is that I want to get him a nice habitat because I'm a good master! Yay! I just need to add some microwaved soil (microwaved to somehow kill organisms and stuff) and put some water in a tiny, tiny container with pebbles. Ted also said that from time to time, I sprinkle a little water into the soil.
So there Gin! Don't die (Yeah, that's a command). I even named you after my boyfriend Gin (haha!) so be a good boy.. There, there... I'm your master. Oops, Gin (the real one) doesn't know about this yet... I'll tell him later, haha!!
Here's my real boyfriend Gin:

Ain't he cool? Hahaha!!! Orioto, you're the best, so cool....
Err... Take, don't get mad... Haha! You know how I am.
Putting aside Gin, today, I went to the department and made and printed the registration form for tomorrow's Launching of IT Equipment Donations by Smart. I'll be the one at the registration and Sir Paul was joking, "Formal gown daw."
Irumi: Huh?! Don't want toooooooo.... [exaggerated]
Sir Paul: Hahahahaha!!!!
Of course, Sir Paul was just joking... Nyahaha!
Sir Paul: You can bring a chess set and challenge the attendees... "Here, three moves!"
Me and Rui-chan: Hahaha!!!!
There. Eto, koko made da. Oyasumi nasai...
