Apart from them being as weird (or even weirder) then your's truly, they leave you with so many memorable moments.
Like what happened of Friday:
I was walking home since it has been a while, I needed the exercise and Ishymaru had invited me over to play Kingdom Hearts (Yay for Button mashing!). Because our dear friend Mary (Squirrel), who normally rides my bus, is claustrophobic, hates people (except her friends), and doesn't really like loud, annoying people on our bus, she decided to walk with us to keep us company. So we were having fun trying to avoid "becoming a pancake" (her favourite line when we are on the road with no sidewalk, she and I had noticed this bright orange flag on the roof of one house that was on the hill that basically looms over the whole valley. We stopped at a safe spot and made sure we were talking about the same flag-thing. Of course, we were determined that Ishymaru sees it too.
So both me and Squirrel kept giving Ishymaru directions to the flag ("See that tree right in front of us? Look just above it. It's bright orange!") Because of us being very stubborn, we wouldn't leave until he saw that flag-thing.
I forgot what the actual line was, but after a while I got so annoyed, I shouted out "How is that possible? It's a bloody bright orange flag!" I forgot what his response was, I think it was along the lines of "I just can't find it". Well he finally found the flag and as we were leaving I remembered something aloud. "Oh yeah, forgot you were colourblind."
Yeah, I do feel very blonde sometimes. But that doesn't compare to what happened half an hour or so later. We made it to the sidewalk area and were right at the middle of a long block. Course I was zoning out (I think I was thinking about how much I like walking in my boots) and I was brought back by the unmistakable sound of a Harley. Just as it roared past, I was saying something about how I miss riding on a motorcycle just as my foot got caught on a one inch difference from one block of concrete to the next.
You know that one thought that goes through your head as you're falling? Mine was "Oh crap. They're gonna tease me about tripping while paying attention to a Harley. Damn. This is gonna sting-" *THUMP*
All that in a split second! Squirrel had seen the whole trip and fall thing and was more worried than what I expected (She told me later that she breaks bones with a fall like that.) and Ishymaru made sure I rested just a bit before I continued the walk. My only injuries at the time was scrape on my knee and my left palm missing a lot of skin from the heel. Of course my right hand only sprained slightly due to the instinct of a writer to save the dominant hand.
But throughout the time, till Squirrel broke off to go to her house, made sure I was looking down while I was walking. She didn't trust me anymore to look up and walk. You know you have done well when one of your best friends doesn't trust you to walk without watching.
So just an update I forgot to mention yesterday. I had told both Squirrel and Ishymaru that I would post the flag story on here and I felt that I should also talk about my oh-so-wonderful coordination.
So Ciao for now, I want to finish another short story by the end of this week. It's a huge jump considering I just started a new short called HiKiKoMoRi SoCiAl ShUt-In. The caps are on purpose since it does play a role in the story. It's going to be longer than Song From A Music Box but hopefully shorter than
UnWanted, again the italics and bolded is on purpose.
Ciao for Now!
