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.
Did you know that two species of octopus — coconut and algae — actually walk around on two arms?
Two octopus species can walk on just two arms, and they appear to use the other six arms to disguise themselves — either as rolling coconuts or clumps of floating algae… (More)

Feral Squidlet…
Not technically an octopus, but close enough! I want her for my desk
Thanks Sereneonion!
O Google, what would I do without thee?
I would never have found this adorable octopus necklace + earrings set! Be sure to check out the rest of the cute jewelry creations at the Spotted Octopus Shop.
On a side note, does anyone have the font VAG Rounded Light/Thin?? I wouldn’t be stealing it, I promise! I have it back in my home town on my old computer, but I need it for a project 
Yesterday, I found Squid.Us. Today, I’m seriously thinking of starting an octopus blog. If squid can get love, then so can octopi. In the meantime, I created an Octopi category. My first featured friend is Dresden the Eight-Legged Transvestite:
This is the second cute crocheted creature that I have blogged about. I think I may have to learn to crochet just so that I can create some cephalopods of my own.
I’m so excited because we’re leaving Friday night for Destin, Florida (Spring Break!) I’ve been looking forward to this vacation for 2 months now
In other random news, I bought a new aquarium for my bedroom:

I also cleaned my 10-gallon aquarium:

Aren’t they both just gorgeous?? I have 7 tetras in the 10-gallon and 2 goldfish in the 2-gallon. I love animals. I think I’m going to raise animals instead of kids…
And one last bit of info… I got laser hair removal over the weekend! It hurt and I cried like a baby (I’m not good with pain :hehe:) but it was worth it. I have 4 follow up visits, then the hair is gone forever! Just email me if you’d like more details 
My V-Day was great! Yesterday morning around 7am, Will surprised me with a teddy bear that is as big as me!

Later in the day, he brought me some tulips…

…and an itty bitty bear…

I was so excited because I’ve always wanted tulips (my favorite flowers) but never received any. Last night, Will and me ate at Cypress Inn (a local fancy restaurant) with Al and Liz
The grilled jumbo shrimp was amazing! I even had leftovers for lunch today.
