I now have three living, breathing things to take care of! (I've had one for about two months, but it's not doing so well...) They're brightening up one of my shelves. 
But my record for caretaking is not good -- freshman year in college, I got a tamaguchi as a gift and it kept dying on me. And sophomore year, my roommate and I killed our neighbors' cactus plant while they were gone for two months.

Good luck with sustaining life. I had a good streak going for killing houseplants, then we got a spider plant we call Lazarus. It won't go down. It's been all brown, sickly and near death from neglect or overwatering several times, then it bounces back. It's going strong now. And it has several friends throughout the apartment also still kicking. We've since branched out into babies... well, one baby, at least.
No pressure Rainster! Certainly I won't feel bad if you kill the one I gave you... although, if you want to avoid responsibility, I'm pretty sure the asiatic lilies will survive outside in this region. I'd ask your landlords if you can plant them in the yard... Lilies aren't supposed to be long-lived anyway... they're a bulb, like daffodils, here today, gone tomorrow, back again next year.
Ooooh, thanks for reminding me, I need to water the plants...
And Torgo, it just dawned on me that you were also my neighbor the year we killed the cactus. But we didn't kill your cactus. It was the neighbors on the other side...
At least you weren't with us in the annex senior year, where one of the roommates flushed his still-living turtles down the toilet.
I guess, theoretically, they might have survived.
No, probably not.
