Buffalo Bettas.
I'm happy so many people wrote back about Buffalinguists! I'll get back to all of you very soon, promise. I've been super busy, and then last night I got super sick (anyone else get a 12-ish hour bug recently?)
So my boyfriend got me a Betta fish :) I think he got it for me, because he wanted me to leave his Betta alone, haha. Since this is my first pet in years, and I don't plan on breeding it, I just want Bluefish (creative name, eh?) to live to be a million years old, happy and healthy and unreasonably spoiled.
I'd love to talk to anyone else who has Bettas, either as pets or to breed, just to see what you recommend for caring for these kids :)

Martini Gras?
Anyone do this is Shea's? What does it include, what are prices? I thought it could be something different for my bday, and I'm one of those planners who likes to know things months in advance (I know I'm nutty).
Anyway just wondering if it's worth it, what it really was like, if it's fun, etc. :)

Apartment hunt...
Hi all! We just started an apartment hunt, and I thought I'd post here and see if you guys have any ideas. We'd be moving in either February 1st or March 1st.
What we're looking for:
- Two or more bedrooms
- A kitchen with a decent amount of counter space (we can barely move in the kitchen we have now, and we need somewhere we can cook!)
- Friendly for both dogs and cats
- A place to park...a garage would be ideal, but it's not required
- Rent between $800 and $1000, ballpark
- In the downtown area, or in the North Buffalo area
If anyone has any leads, or any recommendations on where to look (besides Craigslist) please let me know, either with a comment or a PM. Thanks! <3

Greetings of a seasonal type!
I've just come home from spending Christmas at my mom's - Christmas Eve being when our main Christmas celebration takes place - and I'm about to comment on the lovely Yuletide story I got. Meanwhile - I don't have any recordings of my choir from this year, but here's one from a couple of years back. Have a wonderful holiday season, no matter what you're celebrating!
current mood:  happy

Pointsettia
Say someone realized his gift for his mother didn't quite cut it and he'd like to at least show up with flowers / a pointsettia on Christmas as a hostess gift - where in the Buffalo area might be open Christmas morning and have flowers?
I saw flowers at Wilson Farms tonight but they looked pretty sad. I think I'd be better off sans flowers than showing up with the discolored, half-dead flowers from there.
I'm in the Elmwood Village but could handle a bit of driving.

3D ultrasounds?
Hey there dorks, I'm coming home for my baby shower and I thought it'd be a great idea to have a 3D ultrasound done here so my parents could be there for it. I'd be paying out of pocket for it, and searching around online only found me one place - Baby Bump Motherhood Center in Cheektowaga - but they seem to do a lot of advertising on forums and craigslist and the webpage seems kinda wacky. There was also another place in Rochester, but I'd prefer to keep it as close as possible since it will be February and who knows how our weather will be.
Has anyone had a 3D done in the area that they can recommend? Or places to avoid? Thanks in advance!

Fat people skiing/snowboarding?
I'm a plus sized girl, and I have this *brilliant* idea that I'm going to learn to either ski or snowboard. I have never done either in my life, unless you count the one trip to Chestnut Ridge about 13-14 years ago, and even that was only cross-country skiing.
I'm sick of seeing my fit friends hitting the slopes and me staying home. Plus, January is apparently national 'try a winter sport' month, according to Holiday Valley's website.
I'm not going to beat around the bush, here. I'm fat. Plain and simple. I'm out of shape, but not entirely. I hit the gym when I can, and I'm flexible. I was a dancer for many years, and to be perfectly honest, I'm pretty damn good for a fat chick. I can bust a move! But I'm a realist, and I know my limits. If I fell When I fall, I probably couldn't get up as easily as a skinny person could. But I'm willing to try this, and I'm afraid if I don't do it now, I won't ever get out there.
Holiday Valley offers beginners packages with rentals and lessons and the whole nine.
So here's my dilemma: any other fat Buffalonians in this community who ski and/or snowboard? I need some tips! Or beginners in general - have you tried out HV's beginner thing? Was it worth it?
I'm totally out of my element here, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Other than a few pounds and probably my dignity (and I threw that one out the window when I realized how lame it was that I was googling 'can fat people ski?'), I don't really have much else to lose.
Help! :)
(ps, I promise this isn't a dig at other fat people, I'm just trying to be honest. I still love you all.)

Buffalinguists?
If I've already posted something to this effect, please do excuse.
I've been fascinated with languages my entire life, enamored with language study ever since about the 10th grade.
Although I've studied numerous languages and gained near-fluency in a few, I find it's incredibly difficult to continue learning and maintain what I've learned. I've spent semesters abroad, but I've never solidified connections with other linguists / speakers of languages, outside a few lingering school contacts and online acquaintances.
I'm looking to see if any of you dorks are also Buffalinguists??
( If the first part of this enticed you, go on and read the second! )
If you know or study any of the above languages and want to join me, leave a comment! If it turns out we number more than a few, we could even be really elitist and start our own LJ comm ;)

I'm Megaballin'
Hey dorks!
Ever seen a big, dancing, yellow ball with a tophat?
One of your fellow dorks will be outside Carl's Lotto Market in Cheektowaga tomorrow from about 11am till 3pm, dressed up as [drumroll...] THE MEGABALL. Since the Mega Jackpot's up to 162 mil.
Anyhow, if you're in the area, drop by and support a [very chilly] fellow dork!
[Disclaimer: If anyone under the age of 18 wants a picture with the MegaBall, a parent or guardian must be present in the photo.]
Hope to see you there, feel free to introduce yourself!
