I'm having a bit of a selfish moment.

apocalypsosI want a tarantula.
I waaaaaaants it.
The thing is, I saw a lovely little invertebrate terrarium at Petsmart yesterday when I went shopping for chinchilla supplies. It had pretty much everything in the box save the tarantula, crickets, and the cricket supplies. The cost? Ninety bucks, which after stocking up on chinchilla supplies is not within my price range.
UGH. It makes me all pouty, because all this talk of possible new pets made me think, "I've always wanted a tarantula." And I have, and a terrarium with one in it would be like my version of a fishtank (I'm not a fish person as a pet owner; it doesn't interest me, and frankly just makes me crave seafood), and it would be nice and calming to have on my computer desk, so of course I can't really afford it right now, or at least doing it up nice, which means it's just not worth doing at all, really.
I could always wait until tax returns roll around, but I'm not holding my breath on that count, since I'm pretty sure I'll be attempting to get myself an iPad. Maybe. Or maybe I'll be a grown-up and just pay bills with it.
Aw, man, FML, honestly.
*pouts*
