MUMBLE JUMBLE! (aka. I felt like writing)

2009-10-07T03:16:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone. I just felt like writing to my invisible audience, so so, here I am.
Recently I have been on a major weight loss program. (okay, I've only started today.) No in-between meal nibblings, exercise every day, you know the deal. It's quite fun, trying to sneak snacks without yourself knowing.
Anyway, I today I turned on the music a right deal loud, and made some dance moves.
I wrote this sometime in March, but just found it now in my story blog, The Little Writer. Sorta silly....but, who cares!

I was listening to the soundtrack of 'Another Cinderella Story', and I made some really cool moves. Seriously! Oh, I wish I was doing hip hop again. I stopped because of that Imamuragumi thing. Didn't have enough time. (humbug!) By the way, I quit that thing right after the big Live. It was too demanding, and besides it wasn't fun! And I also have got this long-term lockjaw from after the show. I don't know why, but when I was coming home in my parents car, eating my Obento, it just sorta happened! I've had it ever since.
Anyway, I'm having my piano show sometime in April again. (I had it last year too) At least I didn't have to stop that! Last year I did 'Chim Chimery', and a duet with my sister from, 'Puff the Magic Dragon', but this year I'm doing 'Greensleeves', and a duet with my sister from, 'Top of the World'. Cool, eh?
Anyway, I'm going to graduate on the 19th this month to Junior High, and tomorrow is another day of school. It's dinner, so I'm going now. Cheers!

Kyoto Art Museum

2009-08-07T04:47:00.000-07:00

So, today we went to my grandad's place, then after that we went to this really famous museum in Kyoto. You know Davinchi Code the movie? Well, they moved some of the pictures into the museum at Kyoto, except Mona Lisa and stuff, of course. Well, we went there, and it was quite fun regarding the fact that i had a major stomach ache and the guards took away my very nicely prepared decafe. *pout pout* *steam* UNFORGIVABLE! anyway, the coolest picture there was this circular one of heaven in the clouds, sorta in a spiral. i don't know the name, but the angels were like transparent, and it was so cool! i've been into paintings since i got into painting, you see. there was also a really cool life size barbarian one, but i like heaven better. who wouldn't?

New Hobby

2009-08-04T05:06:00.000-07:00

Today I had the fancy to start oil painting....NO! Of course not lol! It all started a year ago....NAH! HA! Wrong again. Actually it all started with me being bored, a perfectly rational reason, don't you think? Of course I've all ways been interested in oil painting etc, so I had been thinking about it for some time. So since there is nothing fun to do here except reading (And let me tell you, reading is sooooo fun....I just wish my mom would see it that way) my mom decided to giveit a try. She bought me canvases and everything. I'm starting with acrylic painting, cause people say its easier. It's crazy the amount of links to painting my dad's sent me. (LAUGH OUT LOUD!) Anyway, I've got this really cool idea for my sis's birthday (thanks a lot...I've got THREE birthdays this summer....THREE!) but since she might be reading this (highly unlikely) I won't tell you. I'll take a picture though, ne?
Anyway, I thought I ought to let you know. If I paint a masterpiece I'll let you know, k? (Again....highly unlikely)

Today....

LIM

2009-07-25T23:27:00.000-07:00

Today (more like yesterday) I went with me mom and two sis' to the LIM home to drop the sisters off. Apparently they're going to help with the moving and stuff....I SO WANTED TO GO!
oh, well, don't cry over spilt milk AND you can't have everything in life. (i personally prefer 'you can't have everything in life', so...go figure)
anyway, they live in shizuoka and we live in kyoto, so it was like a 7 hour drive! PLUS it was summer hols so the road was super packed and stuff too, so....yeah.
basically all we did while driving was sleep, listen to music, eat, and read. (i was the only one who read, but i had to include it.) going back too. (today, that is. i just got back)
at LIM we, well, talked a lot, and since it was their family night we got to watch a movie. the 'pre-teens' (campers will get the joke) watched 'the man who knew to little'....there was only Lena and I, but it was cool. Rather stupid, but it was funny. it's just so hilarious how he has no idea that it's real. even at the end. the older guys watched 'Australia', which wasn't such a good movie in my opinion, but it's cool in itself. hugh jackman and nicole kidman aren't that good actors either.
so, to skip sunday traffic, we had to get up at 5:30 and go. ( me and my mom, that is.) going back was much the same as going there, sadly. i ate SOOO much. i think i'm gonna have a stomach ache. (p.s. Lena, sorry for not waking you up. p.s.s. you snore. p.s.s.s. just kiddin, lol.)
well, tx LIM home for having us and all. it was super fun. good luck moving!

School Teachers, and Baby Bothers

2009-04-15T06:22:00.000-07:00

Okay, so its been almost two weeks since I've started going to school, and it's BLAST BLAST! So fun, man, especially the teachers. I really don't feel like writing today (plus I don't have any time) so I'm gonna cut this short. Bear with me, please.

PE: The girl's teacher is F-R-E-A-K-Y!!!! I mean, she's old fashioned, dresses like she's still in the 50's, and is super scary!!!! Oooooh, I'm gonna suffer with her...

Home Room: He's the guy's PE teacher. He's super young -- 25 -- and is supposedly really proud of himself. He does his best to show it, anyway. In the 80 meter run, he was 15th in the whole of Japan...APPARENTLY! Anyway, he's a big show off.

Language Arts: LOVE HER!!! She's super fun, always telling us this really neat stories, and is just sooooo cool! Loved her from the minute I saw her. She's so sweet, and interesting! And you KNOW how I fall for those kind of people... :)

Math: I don't really hate him, but he's not really on my admirer's list. I mean, come on! Who gives a whole lesson on how to copy you're notebook? Freak... but he gives these real mind twisting problems. He's okay.

English: It's a boring subject in itself -- I'm even better than the teachers sometimes -- but I LURV Steven. He is HILARIOUS!!!! I wish I had him every day. He's like a little kid. The other teacher is a person trying to be cool but really can't be. I mean, come on! He's 51! Anyway, he's always trying to be funny, and is sooooo not impressing anyone. Sorta funny, anyway.

Science: I'll sum her up in 3 words. Small, picky, and annoying. I'm sorry, that's how it is. She's those kinds of teachers who always give you tons of homework -- not meaning to -- and is soooo hard on people, but she thinks she's being good to them! Do you get my gist? Anyway, she always does experiments and stuff. I might not like this...

Art: GAY!!!! So gay!!! He has gay written all over him!!! He dresses in tight, gay clothes, talks like a girl (Actually, he really does talk like a 9th grade girl I know...), and is tall, skinny, and has unhealthy skin. What more do you need? All signs of gayness, if you ask me....

Anyway, I haven't started the other lessons yet, but I'll keep you posted.
Continuing....BABY BOTHERS!!! I told you about my bro and his wife and baby coming over from Nigerea, didn't I? Well, they're coming tommorrow, and mom has been running around getting all this stuff for it. (The baby) ARGHHH!!!! I can somewhat feel the jealousy-mixed-with-annoyanse feeling that comes when someones parents are having a baby. I feel for you guys. (I was the youngest, and last.) And guess what? I HAD TO GIVE UP SOME OF MY HHHUUUUGGGGEEE CUDDLES! Go ahead, laugh! But do you know how much my room looks off balance? ARRGH!!! Bear with me, guys!

New Stuff!!!!

2009-04-11T03:43:00.000-07:00

Anyway, here's the thing. I GOT A NEW BED!!! isn't that neat? my mom was talking about it, and she said since i was getting so big, i could have a new bed. AWESOME! Anyway, its super cool, no bars or nothing! I've also rearranged my room to fit it. i mean, its not that big, but it's sorta complicated, so i won't talk about it. Anyway, I also got a new bedspread, (real cool, brownish) and curtains. (Red, flowers. It was a discount, and there were only those kind. But it was 70 PERCENT off! c'mon...) its really cool.
Anyway, my piano thingy is on the 19th, so thats real sudden and scary, but i have a feeling i'm gonna cope. Besides, i'm getting pretty good! (i'm not supposed to say that, but...)
ooooh, i'm just itching for tomorrow! it's easter, you see, and we're gonna eat TURKEY! This is waaaay too AWESOME! (that's the second time...)
Anyway, I don't have anything to say anymore, and I'm gonna have to go to do the dishes now, so...
CHEERS!

Sakura Seeing, BBQ-ing, and Costco-ing!

2009-04-07T04:40:00.000-07:00

Hello! As the title pronounces, yesterday we went to Costco, and after that went Sakura Seeing! (We had a BBQ today.) it was very fun. you see, once in a few months my mom and dad go to this huge, american store called Costco (it's in Kobe, have you heard of it?) with huge (overexagerated) discounts; and we buy almost two carts of stuff that is supposed to last us for two to three months. (But doesn't.) And mind you, these carts are almost twice the size of normal ones. Its a huge store, and the highlights for us kids are the books, resturant, and snack corners. It's also just fun to run around, laughing at people staring at you, and running and wreaking secret havoc to your hearts content in the huge store. i guess its just fun to let it go. By the way, i found a new disney cartoon while shuffling around in the book corner. (It hardly was any fun since they had gotten rid of all the fun novels.) Igor, have you heard of that? it sounded like a disney cartoon horror, with a good moral. strange things these companies cook up, eh? anyway, have you ever watched marley and me? OMG! that was such a touching and hilarious movie! i cried buckets! (literally. i advise you to be armed with a tissue box if you ever watch it.) it was just so touching, the last part. don't you think it isn't fair how the good guys always have to die? The innocent, cute, and unknowing characters? why, in paycheck i was sure that the cute guy (forgot his name, but he was the main guys friend) was gonna be shot! thank heavens he didn't, it really wouldn't have been right. anyway, i'm getting off track. i was leading up to me seeing the novel at costco. can you believe that? i never knew that it was based on a novel till i saw it there. come to think of it, i hardly know anything of the sort. Anyway, browsing magazines like 'People' is fun too. i recomend it highly, though its real vain and boring. anyway, at the resturant corner dad bought us all a drink bar (one huge cup for 80 yen with free refills. WHOOHOO!!), and i got ------ sick drinking a cup of lemon soda and coca cola. i hardly could fit my shared icecream, cheerio, and boogie in. okay, that may sound wierd, but seriously, my sis kept on calling it that. it was written in japanese, and from afar it really look like it read boogie! we had fits over that. (p.s. it was really burugogi. korean, i hear.) i really liked the beef ones! YUM! next i'm getting chicken, though everyone says its gross. to close it up, my sis loaded me into a cart and pushed me down the isle! (sorry mom!) It ruled! (p.s. random, but i got a really cute tie for 60 yen at tomato land, a second hand store. pretty good.)
after that, getting home we decided to go sakura seeing while eating our dinner of hotdogs and donuts. (i know, it really doesn't go together.) melissa was so hyper all the way there. she had too many soft drinks. it was soooooooo beautiful! they weren't in full bloom yet, but it was like, not too hot nor not too cold, and we like played tag in this huge field where no one else was, and there were hardly any people! how better can that get? i swear i got grass stains, but i really let it go! it ruuuuuuuuled!
and today we had a BBQ, roasted vegatable shishkababs, and steak and chicken. but after we watched america eats BBQ, i found that that is not BBQing, it is grilling! people! BBQing takes up to 10 HOURS! okay? that sorta ruined the picture, but... anyway, all of us roasted marshmellows together, and we finished a whole pack! YABA! I'm gonna soooo regret it afterwards.
anyway, tomorrow i start middle school...YIKES! i would like to elaborate, but i'm getting tired, so here i must stop. CHEERS!

Information

2009-04-02T22:56:00.000-07:00

Hello there. I'm just writing this to inform you that I won't be writing anymore stories on this blog, but have decided from here on to transfer all my writings to my other blog, 'The Small Writer'. (I won't be continuing Amelia anymore, it sucks.)
Anyway, if you have a chance it would be gratifying if you could take a peek over there sometime, and read the stories, etc. tx! ur great!
No real news, except my first day of Middle School is on the 8th, and that my half brother, his wife and baby girl are coming from Nigeria (that's in Africa) from the 16th to the 30th. Cool, eh? I wanted to go back with them, but of course the older, more 'mature' Melissa gets to go. (maybe) HUMPH! When did I get a chance, eh?
Anyway, I still don't know the date of my piano thingy, but I'll keep you posted, so cheers!

p.s. Today we had disastrous crapes. They looked like mutated sea animals, and were all squishy and slimey. (UGH!) I almost felt like throwing up! Of course it was MY fault...

Hullo. I felt like writing to you, so...

2009-03-28T04:41:00.000-07:00

hullo! how are you, my invisible friends over there? i feel like writing around now, so here goes.
anyway, i'm gonna be a junior high school student on the 8th of april! wow! isn't that cool? i do think that it's sorta a bummer that the tests are supposed to be really hard. its a super bummer. i'm really stressed now because i have to reveiw my elementery school work, and plus i got really bad grades on my tests. (For a usual straight A student this is really hard)
anyway, my piano show is soon, sometime in april i think. i personally think i'm going pretty good, but my sis keeps on messing up on her part! bummer! (we do a duet) it's pretty cool anyway. I think it's gonna be really cool.
my story writing is actually going really smoothly now! i'm getting slightly bored, but i'm sticking to it! isn't that great? i think i've set a personal record for the longest time to continue writing a story. (I keep on getting bored and quitting my other stories.) i think its gonna be really cool. (go publishing!)
anyway, my batterie's low so i've got to go now.

p.s. today i went to a viking resteraunt with melissa's friends. crappy food, but still pretty good. it was real cheap too!

Anyway, thanks guys for the BLAST, BLAST!

MS.AMELIA 2!!

2008-08-23T03:59:00.000-07:00

ok, this is the second chapter of my previous story of 'Ms.Amelia'. the first ones basically about Maple's mom and how she died etc. so she finds this talking, morphing tea towel in her mother's shack, and next thing she knows, theres a bang, and thats where i ended chapter 1. i'm still an amatuer, so pleeeeeze don't laugh! so here goes, 'Ms.Amelia chapter 2'!!!

Chapter 2:

“Is she dead?”

“Oh course she's not you dimwitted troll! She's just unconscious, thanks to you!”

Maple groaned, and lifted a hand gingerly to touch the aching spot on the back of her head. Before she could reach it, she received a hard slap on her hand.

“OW!”

Maple started upright, and found herself gazing into two, beady black eyes.

“ARGH!”

She shouted, and tried to scramble away, but was no longer upright then was pushed back onto the bed with two, firm human hands.

“No you don't, young lady! You've just had administered a nasty bump on you head, (Here there was a long angry pause.) and you'll be needing to lie down. So tut tut, and stay there!”

Maple thought that voice familiar, and twisted her head to look from where it had come.

She gasped.

“Aunt Evenwrought?!”

Here, we will have to explain what Maple's only living relative looked like. She greatly differed from Maple. Sleek black hair was pulled back into a tight bun behind her head. Brown, emotionless eyes peered back at you through a thin head, with high cheek bones. She would have looked very handsome, if she didn't always have a absolutely foreboding look on her face, which she had plastered on at the moment.

“Well, yes. I was wondering if you would recognize me after what happened.”

She gave a nasty look to the creature on her right, and started to furiously dab Maple's forehead with a damp cloth. The creature looked something like a cross breed of a bear and a dog. He had one bear ear, and one floppy, puppy-like ear. His body was mostly bear-like, except the tail which was long and bushy. It had a permanently puzzled look on its face, and looked quite dumb. It was helplessly grinning at Maple, and when they're eyes met, it started energetically waving its hand, and thumping its tail. Maple thought it looked extremely funny. Aunt Evenwrought scowled, and started biting her lip, and cracking her long, spindly fingers. This was obviously a danger sign, because the being stopped moving almost immediately. Aunt Evenwrought sniffed, and propped Maple up with a few plump pillows. From her advantage point, Maple could see a large crater-like pit in the middle of the house, dust rising around it. Several beings were working around the hole, obviously trying to cover it up with some sort of plastic casing. Aunt Evenwrought cleared her throat, and clapped her leathery hands together.

“I believe it is time to introduce ourselves to our young recruit.”

A human voice floated through the thick, angry dust.

“Aw, can't it wait till we're done?”

“Certainly not! Do you have no manners?”

“Fortunately not.”

It glumly replied. The bear-dog started jumping up and down, waving its arm wildly.

“Oh, lets! Please, Beerdon! It'll be ever so rude if we don't!”

A pause in the noise of clashing plastic sustained after this. A human form started forming through the dust. A heavily bearded man, well round in the middle emerged, eying Maple wearily.

“Okay, okay. Fine. But not for long, mind you. “

At his word, several other creatures emerged from the mist-like dust. The bear-dog clapped its hands together in joy, and raced to the end of the bed where the others had assembled.

“Well, I guess you already know Blocks, the tea towel.”

Aunt Evenwrought began. Blocks curtly nodded his head.

“And theres Nitty, the Hexagonia. He's the unofficial pilot of our ship, the 'MARSHMELLOW BELOW'.”

“Whats a Hexa-whatchya-ma-call-it?

“Don't ask.”

advised Blocks.

“Then theres Beerdon, the engineer,”

Beerdon gave a huff.

“And Ryu, your personal trainer and instructor.”

A sleek eyed, black haired man gave a low bow, never taking his slit like eyes off Maple. He reminded Maple of a very, very cunning dragon.

“Then there's the medical team, Don and Percy, the twin bath towels.”

Two beings greatly resembling Blocks, but quite larger and coarser bowed down, making their small red hats slip down their foreheads. They quickly formed arms, and placed them back onto their respectable places. They seemed to turn even more red then they already were, as they engaged in a quiet, but heated conversation.

“They work with me.”

Aunt Evenwrought added. She continued.

“There's our weapons specialist, Amlet, (A blue haired, slim, and very beautiful woman twisted her head to the side in a sort of half nod) and her assistant...”

“BUBBLES!”

A rainbow headed, small girl burst forward from behind the wall of tall people that had been surrounding her almost on purpose. Beerdon slapped forehead, and Amlet bit her lip so hard, Maple could almost see blood. Maple could almost see why. Bubble's big, bright, purple eyes were staring into hers before you could say 'what the...'. Maple noticed two, small and rainbow colored wings sprouting out from her back. She was clothed in a ruffled, spotted attire, with laces and bobbles peeking out from different odd places. Bubbles' eyes blinked as fast as hummingbird's wings as she stared up into Maple's face.

“I can't believe it! I'm actually staring into Maple Amelia's face! Oh my God! Its her face! Its her actual face!!!”

“Yes, and if you don't pry yours away from the poor creatures, then you'll be glued together for life. Now stand back in line and get back to work!”

Evenwrought scolded, and started leading Bubbles back to where everyone was accumulating.

“About time!”

Beerdon added gruffly, and swung his shovel over his shoulder.

“Come on gang! Get a shovel and back to work the lot of you!”

Bubbles sighed, as the others started twirling their hands, making shovels appear out of thin air. The Towels started morphing into shovels themselves.

“Aw, can't I stay? I can help Eve!”

Evenwrought, looking slightly affronted by being called by a nickname, blinked, then took on a look of surprise.

“You help me? I'd rather have Nitty at the motor than you at the bandage! Have you no recollection of the tryouts?!”

Bubbles twitched her nose.

“Um, I made a few mistakes?”

Blocks snorted.

“A few?! You knocked over the medical kit, you kicked your patient, you spilled iodine over the judges! And you wonder if it could get any better, you run out of bandages because you use them to mop up the iodine! It was a disaster! You probably couldn't get any lower points!”

Bubbles scrunched up her nose.

“Ya, ya, I guess I was horrible, but I scored good on the weapons thing-y!”

“Your getting off the picture! Now my answer is no, and I won't change for a million. Now, go help the other adults with the digging.”

“Okay, okay, Amlet, can you help?”

Bubbles stretched out her hand expectantly, and put on a pleading puppy dog face. Amlet, carefully avoiding Bubble's face started strapping on her working gloves.

“You can do it yourself, Bubbles. I just taught you the spell yesterday.”

“Ya, but I forgot. What was the spell again, 'Shovel me please', 'Please me shovel', 'Shovel hand me'?”

Bubbles blinked her eyes even faster than she previously did, but seeing that Amlet wasn't helping, turned to Maple.

“Please Maple, tell Amlet to help, please!”

'No way', thought Maple, but as her eyes gazed into Bubbles' bright purple ones, she felt herself become drowsy, she felt light, almost as if she could fly.

“Maple, Please help me, please!”

Bubbles' voice echoed around in her head. Maple couldn't actually tell it was Bubble's voice, but it sounded nice, it sounded demanding, Maple wanted to do everything the voice told her to do.

“Maple, tell Amlet to help me, tell her, now.”

Maple opened her mouth. She would say it, the voice wanted her to.

“Amlet, help.....”

SPLASH!!!

Jolting forward, Maple jumped out of bed, bashed into the shelf, and sat down hard onto the floor. Aunt Evenwrought was putting a vase down, in her other hand she was holding a bunch of flowers. Amlet had put a hand over Bubble's eyes, and with the other was holding her around the middle. Bubbles was struggling like mad, Blocks was screaming like a hyena.

“What were you thinking! You're a stupid idiot! You should be ashamed of yourself!”

Aunt Evenwrought turned around. She had a slight grin on her face.

“Sorry about that Maple. I guess we have a lot to explain to do.”

Story 'Mrs. Amelia' chapter 1

2008-08-14T04:15:00.000-07:00

okay, this is the first chapter of my story, 'Mrs. Amelia'. sorry it took so long guyz, it was hard, gruelling work, and took quite a bit of courage to post too. but, seeing as no one does read this blog, i might as well! what the heck?

Ms. Amelia

Chapter 1:

It was a cold morning. The wind was blowing viciously, biting at anyone crossing its path. ms. Amelia sat in the kitchen door, stirring her cold tea with a long, spindly finger. She absentmindedly started adding sugar blocks to the brew which was swirling wildly, like a small whirlpool.

“So, Blocks, do you like fencing?”

She asked a damp kitchen towel. She kept on adding sugar blocks to the tea which was hardly stir-able because of the large amount of sugar blocks that couldn't be dissolved.

“My daughter Maple just won a medal in fencing.”

She stopped putting sugar blocks into the cup.”

“It was quite grand, actually.”

She glanced down, and watched the sugar blocks diminish slowly.

“Quite grand.”

She added quietly, and gazed glossy-eyed into the cup. After the tea showed no more signs of solids,she stood up, and employed the untouched tea into the sink, watching intently as it swirled down the drain. Her face suddenly contorted as the last drops fell through the net. She staggered back a few steps, and blinked a few times, before putting her hand to her chest. She felt something moist spread through her blouse. She pulled her hand away, watching the scarlet blood drip from her hand onto the floor.

“Just washed yesterday....”

She muttered, and slumped to the floor. With a shaky hand she reached for the tea towel, but instead of pressing it to her back, she held it at an arms length. With her last ounce of strength,she managed to smile.

“You know what to do.”

She said, then, with a limp hand, threw the towel back onto the table. It suddenly seemed even more droopy as Ms. Amelia gave a gasp, then died.

...

4 years later

“And Maple Amelia strikes! Ooh, but she misses, and, ah! She gets a blow. Looks like this really isn't her day. Zachariah Mull seems to be enjoying this. Ooh, and Maples down! Nasty cut on her cheek. Thats points down for Mull. But hes got her! Looks like this match is over, folks. And now....”

The announcers voice faded into the distance as Maple felt rough hands grab her, and pull her up. Mull looked triumphant as he made her shake his hand.

“Nasty cut Amelia. Here, let me...”

But she had flicked his hand away and was already pressing a handkerchief to her cheek.

“And if you're sensible, you'll never try to ask me on a date again, Mull.”

He looked mildly amused.

“Sure thing, Maple. Well,”

He said lazily.

“Gotta go collect my prize. See ya, then.”

“You do that.”

She sniffed, and started walking across the field towards her home. On the way, she encountered a smooth talking reporter, whom she made scurry away with the words, “Buzz off!”, but other than the encountered no more incidents as she walked home.

As she walked through the doorway, which was draped over with a dirty tapestries since the door had come clean off, the room came in sight. Maple hadn't bothered to clean it up after her mother had died. The dirty tea stain around the drain was still there. There was the blood stain, (which she gave a wide berth.) and the dirty tea towel on the dining table. The tea cup remained on the sink side. Dust had started to accumulate on the outer reaches.

She had narrowly avoided getting sent to the orphanage, by pretending that she had went to live with her aunt. Far from it. Her aunt was a grumpy old woman who wouldn't even care if Maple got killed by bandits. She let Maple be, which gave her the liberty to live part time in her mother's house.

Maple was like this. Short, fiery red hair adorned her high forehead. She had a set jaw, blueish gray eyes, and puckered, red lips. She was tall, and lightly lanky, and had a narrow waist and rolling hips. She was abnormally good at fencing, and had a partly dreamy, partly active attitude.

Arriving home, she pulled out the first aid kit, and placed it carefully besides the tea towel, careful not to disrupt it. Then, pulling out some swabs of cotton, she started gingerly dabbing up the cut. Today she was turning 14. 4 years since her mothers death. She started dabbing the cotton furiously, then stopped altogether to concentrate on not crying. People weren't supposed to live like this. She picked up her fencing gear, and started walking towards her aunts. She would buy herself a cake. Buy presents if it would make her feel any better.

“Oi, you there! Come back here!”

Maple stopped abruptly. She slowly turned around, and faced the table from where the noise had come from. She cocked her head, and started walking towards it.

“Hello?”

“Yeah, what?”

Maple jumped, and froze in her tracks the voice had come from the tea towel. A sudden change had come over it. It had started to twist and turn, and knot itself up, till it looked something like a wooden spoon, with a rather large handle. It had an oval shaped head with a spike off top that looked unusually like hair. It had hollow black eyes, and where the chest would be, was twisted into two, delicate fairy wings. The rest of the body flowed off into a long, dirty and stained dress. It looked slightly annoyed as Maple gaped at it.

“Well, say something!”

When Maple continued to gape, it fluttered its tiny wings, and started to turn a deep, radish red.

“Fine, then. Don't say anything!”

It said, smoke almost streaming out of its head as it crossed both sides of its dress, and sat down on the edge of the table.

Maple tiptoed towards it, and poked it in the back. It jerked away, looking slightly affronted.

“Hey! Thats sensitive!”

Maple blinked her eyes.

“S, sorry. Yeah, um, I'll just, um, leave you be, then.”

She backed away, but it quickly floated up, and thinned its eyes out in a loathing manner.

“No you don't, miss! You're staying right here till the barriers made!”

“What barrier....”

She had begun to say, but the 'tea towel being' had already jutted its finger towards the dirty and splattered window. She took a look. May flowers had started to peek out of the grass in the lawn, and butterflies had started to suck the sweet liquid off the pollen. The bright sun shone mercilessly on the roof of the house, animals were crawling around the forest over to the right. It looked like any other May day.

“I really don't see...”

“Keep looking!”

Maple obediently obliged. She inched over to the dust covered window, and peered out the sides. Meanwhile the 'tea towel being' had started to squirm and twist itself again. It finally finished. It had turned into a wrist watch. Its eyes hovered in the air as it peered down onto itself.

“If everything went as planned, it should be fully installed about now.”

It paused as Maple's curious face turned to gaze into its.

“Brace yourself.”

It muttered, before squirming and knotting, and turning back into a tea towel, which securely knotted itself onto the table leg. Maple got the picture all too late. A large 'BANG' echoed through the house as Maple got thrown back the length of the house. She hit the wall. Everything started going black. She could faintly hear the shrieking voice of the tea towel (At least she thought it was its voice.) scolding an unknown someone. Her eyes fluttered, and then fell limp over her sleeping eyes.

so thats that. hope you enjoy it, and PLEEEEEEEEEEEZE don't laugh at it?!....

My Brothers House...

2008-03-15T04:04:00.001-07:00

Ok, so this might look like a great tourist attraction from the movie "Swiss Family Robinson", but in reality, this is my brothers house! Ok, maybe its more like a tree house or shack of some kind, but no fear, this is a real house that my real brother was living in till a short while ago! (We owe this to the fact that my brother lives in Mexico.)

The First Add

2008-03-15T00:26:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! This is my first add here, and I'm determined to make it good. Now, I'm sorta queasy about writing the story that I promised you, since my writing skill has just started to bud. But, hopefully, I will make up my mind to write it, and hopefully, you can laugh over it! Anyway, please read it, and if you do, I hope that I'll be capable of producing something that you can safely read. Ehehehehehe!!!
