Let's take it from the top.
My old roommate Shanna dated this guy named Tyler back in March-ish. Tyler was cute and all but he was a high school senior who worked at the pet section at Wal-mart, so naturally their relationship didn't last very long. One day in March-ish, Annalie, Brittany, myself and Dustin went to Wal-mart. While Annalie and Brittany were shopping for their food, Dustin and I decided to go and look for Tyler in the pet section...just to be annoying. Well we never saw Tyler (we all think he quit shortly after the break-up) but we did end up buying a blue beta fish. We later named him Topher.
Topher was a good little fish who live on my desk in my dorm room, but I was almost certain that he only had about a month of life left in him mainly because I am not a good fish owner. I was mistaken. He ended up living through countless weekends of not being fed, the bitter coldness where I thought for sure he would freeze in his water, and he even survived Spring break AND Easter weekend with my roommate Carrie (We later called him Super Topher for that).
The end of the semester was approaching and there was no way I was going to take him home with me. I tried to think of different ways I could not bring him home which equals different ways I could kill him off (I know, I AM inhumane). But at this time, he is now Super Topher so he just wouldn't die. Thoughts of Finding Nemo and just flushing him down the toilet came to us, but we just couldn't do it. I told Dustin to take him home with him because he was 1/2 of Topher's owner, but "Elisabeth, I'm going on a mission blah blah blah blah blah What if he makes it through the summer, then who will take care of him? more blah blah blah blah." I then had the ingenious idea to randomly leave him by the big statue of Sharwan Smith in the Sharwan Smith center here at school with a note that said "Needs a good home". Well, move out day came and it was too late to just strand him in a crowed room. So I just ended up giving him to my RA who was getting married in June.
Fast forward September this year...
I am walking down the halls in, you guessed it, the Sharwan Smith center. Suddenly I am stopped by the old Relief Society President Catelyn Holladay telling me that she still has my fish Lindsey told her to watch while she was on her honeymoon (ooh la la?)
Well to make a long story somewhat shorter, Topher is back!!! His bowl has been upgraded and he now has a cute little seashell to play with.
And that is the story of my fish Topher, the fish who lived.
