Golf Playing Parrot — Amazing! I’ve always wanted a parrot.
Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 24-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.
Pinky, my pink tetra, passed away this morning. She lived a good long life of 4 years. She was always the smartest of the bunch. At feeding time when the other fish would swarm at the top, she’d patiently wait at the bottom, dining on the food that fell to her. When Big Fins picked on her, she’d hide out in the Octopus Cave. Although I’ll probably buy another pink tetra, Pinky will never be replaced!
Melissa tagged me, so here goes. First and foremost, I blog to meet new people. I’ve met a lot of good friends online through my blog. You can’t really connect with anyone through a static page. People get to know me through my blog posts, which truly reflect who I am. Although I’m not one to discuss personal issues, my blog gives me a place to share my accomplishments
Ashley, Tuan, and Tracy — your turn!
(I finally finished the Perfection forum. It took a lot longer than I expected.)
I’m watching a documentary on the octopus — my favorite animal. Did you know that an octopus will unscrew the lid of a jar to get to the contents? The documentary stated that octopuses may be as intelligent as dogs.
Someday, I’m going to get one as a pet. Last December, I met a guy at a restaurant who had an awesome octopus tattoo. After I inquired about his tattoo, he told me that he had an octopus as a pet. He special-ordered it from Petco for $150. I don’t remember what size aquarium he kept it in, but I’m thinking it was a 30-gallon. I actually have a vacant 30-gallon aquarium 
Do you have a scratch pad? I always keep a notebook at my side so that I can jot notes, sketch ideas, write reminders, etc. I usually keep a pen (preferably Uni-Ball Vision) in its spine for easy access. Right now, I’m brainstorming ideas for the Perfection forum on paper. The members don’t seem to like the Vanilla one I’ve currently installed, so I’m back to writing my own script
If you have a personal website or weblog, you should check Perfection out…
My Powerbook is acting up again. I’ve never heard of anyone having the amount of problems with an Apple computer as I have. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still Apple’s #1 fangirl, but these constant problems are getting ridiculous. I purchased an external hard drive about 2 months ago, so everything is backed up, but I still don’t like going through the process of reinstalling all the programs.
