it's cold. really cold. what time of year was it again? winter? i don't think i like winter that much. its always hardest during winter. especially when it snowed. but it will be over soon; then spring will come! i really do love spring. it's nice and warm and i dont have to worry about being a popsicle. but during the winter it's easier to get food. they take pity on me because im a stray. i dont understand why though, im perfectly fine on my own???
bleh, my stomach just growled. too much thoughts about food. everyones closed up shop. that means that there was nothing to eat for tonight. am i shivering? this coat doesnt really do much. ill just walk off the cold. heh, yeh >:3c. i only walked a block or two (or i think i did??) and i see a building with light! the first one in a while too! i ran to it as fast as i could and pawed at the glass door. the door has a closed sign on it despite the fact it was lit up. nevertheless i continued to tap and whimper at the glass door.
i think i caught a man's attention because someone inside jumped at the noise i was making. the man narrowed his eyes at me, but i felt no fear. it wasnt full of malice, more of confusion really. they set their book on the counter and walked over to the door. i could feel my tail wagging and the collar wrapped around drag against the door. as soon as the doll opened the door i hopped on them.
the doll was warm and they easily held me in their arms. i wrapped my arms around their torso as well as my legs. the other was more or less surprised and slightly irritated. at least that's what it sounded like by their words. they said "get off me!' and "shoo, get!'
i eventually peeled myself off and slowly walked towards the door with a pout on my face. i looked outside at the heavy snow. great. perfect. good job, luke, you ruined your chances of a warm place to stay. as i started to leave, the doll grabbed onto my tail and muttered, "you may stay."
i have a feeling this is going to be the start of an amazing friendship!!

the day before christmas! or at least, that's what remington said. remember the doll from my previous journal entry? yeah, his name is remington! he's super nice even though he doesnt like to show it that much. anyways, remington decided that i could stay with him. but i have to work for him. it isnt that bad though, really. all i have to do is keep the books on the shelves organized and work the cash register every once in a while. i sometimes get remington tea too. though, he said i dont have to after i broke a few tea cups.
oh and im sorry i didnt write sooner. i had lost my journal for a few days. it turns out i mistook it for a sale book and put it on the shelf. lucky for me remington found it. also lucky because no one actually bought it. then everyone would know my thoughts and i dont like that. this is private ya know >:0c
anyways, i really enjoy it here - arg i have to go! remington made dinner! ill write soon!

christmas has come and passed. remington got me bracelets for christmas. im wearing them right now. i put Pickles on one arm and the other bracelets on the other. i really like them, especially the brown one. its soooo soft! i got remington a couple books. dont tell him how i got them, but i may have just taken them off the shelf. i dont think he noticed.
today my friend leon came over. he is a panda i think? or a red one? i dont know the different really. whatever though. leon came over and asked me a question. he asked me if remington was my "boyfriend"
i dont know what that term really means. im not up to date with slang. i asked leon and he stuttered for a bit before telling me "its someone you love basically."
i thought for a moment. i do love remington. he feeds me and pets my head all the time. he lets me curl up on his lap while hes reading and will rub my ears. i do love him! hes an amazing friend! i told leon yes and he said he wasnt surprised.
i started to tell everyone that remington was my boyfriend. remington turned down the idea, telling everyone it wasnt true, but one day he just said "I GIVE UP". i feel worried about him. maybe he's stressing himself too much? ill make him some tea later.
