Mite & Fara

so yesterday i decided that i wanted to rename my brine shrimp(i call them sea monkeys). so since most of them died in a tragic accident, there was only like seven left. origionally(idk how to spell that) i named half of them egg and the other half milk, but since most of them died i decided to name them different names. i named all the boys Mitchocondrion(i'll explain later) and all the girls Farandola. Mite and Fara for short. and how do i know which ones are boys and which ones are girls you ask? yeah...sometimes i wish i didn't know so much. but anyways let me explain the back story on those names and why i picked them.


i've been reading the A Wrinkle in Time book series lately and in the second book(A Wind in the Door) there was these things called Mitchocondrion and Farandola(the plural is farandolae) that live in our bodies. they are SOOOO tiny that you can barely see the mitchocondrion in a really powerful micro-scope. i forget what the even more powerful micro-scope is called at the moment but i'll tell you later if i remember. but anyways, the farandolae are so small that you can't see them at all. they live INSIDE mitchocondrion that lives INSIDE us. so just think of how small we are compared to a galaxy. thats how small farandolae are compared to us. anyways, in the book, for some reason all of the farandolae were dying and that made the mitchocondion die, so that made some of the humans die. so basically it was like all the farandolae were humans only tinier and the mitchocondrion were the planets. and in the book there were these things called echthroi and they were things killing the farandolae. well in the book there was this thing where someone would name you..in the book that meant someone would make you who you are but the echthroi would X you. A.K.A un-name you. so thats what was killing all the farandolae. and the person in the book-her name was meg- had a little brother name charles wallace and he was dying because of all the echthroi X-ing all his farandolae. so meg and her other friend calvin actually transformed into farandolae size and saved him just as he was about to die! that book was awesome. but let me explain more about echthroi.

echthroi are deadly creatures who are known for X-ing people. they can X almost anything. megs friend, on the other hand, was a namer. her friend was a cherubim(his name was proginoskes) whos job it was to name each and every star. but echthroi would try to un-name any star that that he named. every time the echthroi would un-name a star, it left a rip in the galaxy. first you would hear an ear splitting cosmic scream and then you would see almost a split in the sky. and thats what echthroi do.

well thats why i named my sea monkeys Mitchocondrion and Farandola...and then some.

ok well my fingers are getting tired so i'll write back later.
