In the Great Barrier Reef, there are two species that have struck a chord with me. The Goby fish and the blind shrimp have a symbiotic relationship in which the Goby fish, with it's excellent vision, and the blind shrimp, with his wonderful digging skills, work together for survival.
The Goby fish enjoys living in tunnels, but lacks the skills, and the equipment, to dig. The blind shrimp digs wonderfully, but lacks the vision, hence the name, that the Goby fish has. So, the Goby watches out for the little shrimp fellow while he digs a home for them both. They stay in touch with the little shrimp's antennae and if they lose touch with one another, the Goby scours the ocean floor until they find one another again.

I've found my Goby...who's yours?

That's cute...

Come on now, Peppy...

Who's your Goby?

You're my Goby, Kristen.

You're my Goby!

And you're my blind shrimp, Peppy!

Show me some love!

I'll show you why they call me the cumming linguist, love.

*lick*

That smiley scared the living hell out of me.


My blind shrimp!

I'm a dirty little blind shrimp with a busy and skilled tongue.

This is far too frightening, Peppy.

My blind shrimp! I want to dip you in honey mustard and eat you!

Mmm...I'm hungry now.

mmmm...

Eat me...

Oh God...

Anyhow, my little blind shrimp.

I'd happily be blind if I'd get you for life.

I feel nice and warm and fuzzy inside.
I'd happily be named Goby if I had you.
Goby is a kickass name.

I love you so much, Kristen. Even if I've never met you. Chatting with you makes all my troubles seem worth while. Even if everything's good now. And saying that in public, like on this board, makes me feel all good inside.

Mmm...I love you too, my little blind shrimp.
