So Relaxing!

[FishBlast]

I'd be no good with a tank in the bedroom (not that there's room anyway!) My door intercom buzzes from the transformer and that keeps me awake! I have to unplug it before I go to bed

I need pitch black and silence to sleep ... but then, I am odd

It's funny in my case:
I cannot STAND pitch-black rooms. It makes me feel claustrophobic (even though I don't really have that, I'm ok with tight spaces). So my room has a green, dim night lamp. Useful if I want to go to the loo at night. It basically lights my bedroom AND my way to the bathroom.

It took me 1-3 freaking hours to sleep before adding the tank to my bedroom.
Now the pleasant hum of the BOYU filter makes me fall asleep as if I'm on some kind of sleep medicine (which I've only been given once when I was a kid and refused to take from that day on though).

And I don't like silence. If I don't have some kind of background noise (music, parents' snoring or some machine's engine), I feel like that silence is actually BUSTING my ears! and I get tinnitus too when in full silence, specifically it sounds like Morse code in my right ear.

@josh, lucky person i have a perfect space in my room where i could probably fit a tank twice as big as the one i got now trouble is i got no money to invest in a tank right now

I'm in the same boat, poor college student with no part time job

I'm like that sometimes, if it's completely silent then I find myself trying to listen for something and just hearing a long ringing sound. Then other times the slightest thing such as the little light on my printer annoys me, depends how I'm feeling

I had a bedroom betta tank. It was nice and relaxing, falling asleep with the sound of running water. THen I noticed the Betta watching me and my hubs during cuddle time...kind creepy.

I want a tank in my bedroom! Hm, I actually have room for it *wonders how to convince the man of the house*

I have two in the living room, one on each side of the fireplace. I don't pay much attention to the TV anymore, I love watching my fishies in their tanks.

Never had that, even the Christmas lights, which blinked like no tomorrow, didn't bother me X))

And I wish I could get a job that pays faster and more... -.- I just got my VISA card today but they said I have to wait for 1 more day till it's active. Then, to bind it to paypal I need to spend 2 euros. Which means I'll have to wait on dad to lend me those 2 euros -.- Pffffffff
And my boss hasn't contacted me yet to tell me when I'll get paid this month, he just said that this month and to go make a card. I got to get a nitrite test kit to keep an eye on the filtration.

Yeah but it doesn't pay much since it's only at the beginning.
When I was a kid, I didn't even get lunch money, had to make my own lunch. Couldn't afford to go on a trip with my class either. Almost all my allowance (and this meaning all as in the whole number of times I've received it, not a percentage of it), went to my dad. Which meant I never had my own money when I was a kid. -.- Barely started earning when I learned how to fix computers at home.

What's a fiver?
I've set up this tank from my salary, bought 2 of the fish out of some money I gained for repairing comps (not sure if that's also a salary), but also got some of my money back from dad. He bought an aquatic plant for my birthday after paying his debt. lol.
I'm 22.

Me too, an official one, but a lot want experts or want you to pay to work for them (I know a guy who saw his business crash for such a scam, he even refused to pay his secretaries and then their family/boyfriends threatened to beat him. Now the guy's hiding at one of my dad's friends' house. LOL!)

Sometimes I wish I had learnt more php than just text coloration and linking to images. -.- But then comes Flash... I made an animation on flash, took me a month to finish a 5 minute trailer. I said I'll never get back to flash again. Went with 3ds max and then maya. Now I cannot find time to continue my movie project on it. X_X
