Note to self: Never write about school assignments. Ever. Guess what I pulled out of the hat as a speech yesterday? I have to do a 5 minute speech on chocolate. Sound familiar?! O_O At least it's not a group project like I wrote about Xialburg doing...ugh I would die.
Dear Noobcake,
School's back in session.
Yup. It really, really sucked. I mean, I got so used to just waking up when I wanted and not having to rush at all. Now I am again jolted back into reality by loud rock music.
Gothie chose the music for me because what makes him fall asleep wakes me up.
Noobcake, did you really expect Gothie to fall asleep to Muzak? Geez. You're such a noobcake sometimes.
...maybe that's why I call you Noobcake...
Ha ha ha. I am very witty.
I think that was the lamest attempt of humor I have ever written into you. Well, this is supposed to be a diary so I guess any jokes are really stupid.
Beauty wasn't here the first day of school. I was all worrying about it. I mean, what if she was seriously sick in the hospital or something?!
Okay, that's a little unlikely, but it could happen, okay? I'm going for worst case scenario here.
Xanri cheered me up though by drawing me something. She is an AMAZING artist. Take the work of any artist you've ever seen, and multiply it by 4.3. And she's that good. She drew me looking worried.
I mean, it's a little odd that I held still in that pose that long, but it was History at the moment, so I was kind of in a anti-listening trance.
...I'm hanging it up on the wall of my room. Because I'm cool like that.
It is so freaking cold! I mean, I am covered in a layer of fur, and my fur is even a little thicker than the fur of other wolves. I think its because wolves with wings are naturally born with thicker fur so if they fly up high they don't get as cold.
BUT IT IS SO COLD, and chills me to the bone! I mean, I enjoy cold. Seriously. If you wore a fur coat all the time Noobcake, then I bet you would understand.
But, being a Noobcake-y diary...journal...thing...anyway...you can't understand because you have no brain to think with.
So, I was complaining about being cold. Oh yes. I'd like to explain to you exactly why.
My school is let out 10 minutes early on Fridays. I don't really see how that accomplishes anything, but it's ten minutes. I am in Gym that last bit, so I am definitely not complaining about that.
Those extra 10 minutes give me time to fly over to Junior's little kindergarten place, because he is an afternoon class, and to pick him up.
Sometimes I carry him as I fly, but that takes a huge toll on my arms and stuff. Plus, I think my wings got frozen stiff just from flying over there from my school.
Since it was so cold, all the puddles and ponds had layers of ice on them. So, Junior and I were walking along.
I think I was setting a bad example. Ish.
You know, it's really awesome to step on thin layers of ice and crush them under your paws. It makes such a cool sound. However, I think Junior misunderstands that it's a good idea to do that with all kinds of ice.
No. It is not.
I took my eyes off of him for two seconds, and then all of a sudden he was JUMPING on the frozen POND that wolves fish in during the summer, trying to CRACK it. NONONO. It is very bad to do that, as I think you can easily guess. And it wasn't that thick.
I feel like a horrible wolf for not watching him.
So I totally spazzed and jumped out to rescue my little fake-brother. I managed to get him off the ice, but right as I was going to jump off too the ice totally fell out from under me.
As you can understand, it is very, very cold in the winter. Plus, it was a kind of small hole and I sort of...drifted/struggled a lot to where there was no air hole.
So, drowning...
in cold water...
in the winter...
not fun.
What makes it more embarrassing is it's a pond. It's not like, a huge lake where a massive sea monster drags you down or something. THAT would be an impressive death. I should record that.
You see, Gothie and I have little thing going on, trying to imagine the most awesome deaths or the most embarrassing. So far the most embarrassing is getting killed with a spoon or devoured by ferrets.
So. Back to me drowning.
I started running out of air. I could hear in a muffled way Junior screaming. And then all of a sudden, a hole was punched out right above me and I was pulled out.
Whatever wolf pulled me out was really cold too...
I kind of was lying out on the ground with my eyes closed. I could hear Junior shrieking, and two female wolves arguing.
"You know what, you have no business being in places you shouldn't know about!"
"You shouldn't be stalking him in the first place!"
"I am NOT stalking him! I'm making sure he's safe!"
"That's rich, coming from you."
"Let go of the past! You can read the future, see I've changed!"
"I'll believe that when my tail falls off."
"I can arrange that."
"Ugh! You're such a-"
"Shut up, ice cube."
"Ice cube?! What would-"
And then a splash.
I managed to open my eyes to see a sodden Xanri pulling herself out of the pond, sputtering.
I didn't see who the other wolf was, but I could guess from the evil words Xanri was spewing.
"Ice cube?! That shiny metal spite-fueled evil..."
You know what, I'm not even going to write in what she says. I think my ears are bleeding just remembering.
I managed to make it home okay, Junior still totally traumatized. Rainbowy was sympathetic for once. She wrapped me in a towel after drying me off with it and set me in front of the fire.
Mmm...eventful day.
Oh, and I found out that Beauty wasn't in the hospital or anything. She just had a bad case of the flu over the break.
Anyway, bye Noobcake.
