Friday, September 30
just when i thought my life was hopelessly boring, it became what i consider the most exciting day of the week so far. this has nothing to do with the fact that i just woke up with bed hair. anyway, if this were a movie, this would be the trailer- quick flashes of anxious faces, and voices playing overhead:
' oh my gosh oh my gosh don't do this to me!'
' what? what?? where is it??'
' there' [trembling, accusing finger]' what are we going to do, make a dash for it or crawl close to the floor?'
' how does that help the situation??' [a small crash heard as a chocolate bar lands some distance away]
' where are you going? are you gonna leave me here by myself?'
' ehh!! wait for me!!!!'the ultimate betrayal. we made a dash for it in the end. fine, i did. she insisted on getting her toasted bread but i was convinced it was dirty. her bits are the purple words. what
really happened was that my sister had wanted me to toast some bread for her but i couldn't remember that we had a toaster, so we both went into the kitchen. i was fishing chocolate bars out of the fridge when there was a slight scuffle and she ran towards me screaming and i jumped back screaming. i thought she'd found a cockroach. well it was pretty close. apparently a lizard had leapt out of the toaster. so there we were, stuck on the far end of the kitchen, with a monstrosity keeping us from the safety of the outside world. the cherry on the cream? i had just sent my maid down to buy some things. so there we were, two jittery, terrified girls staring anxiously in the general direction of a lizard we couldn't see. my sister started walking towards the door. i quaked, the idea of it jumping
on me too horrifying to imagine. i decided to throw my chocolate bar across the kitchen instead to see if it would jump at the movement. nothing moved near the toaster. i dashed past, after deciding that i can't crawl very fast and anyway what if it jumped on my back while i was wriggling my fat butt past? my sister followed less quickly, stopping to grab her bread. the lizard is still there, somewhere. i am not venturing near the kitchen again. lizards are better than cockroaches i guess, but i hate all stupid ugly things.
and so, i just woke up. nice nap. =) and back to mugging i go.. soon. i want the song i want the song i want the song. chirpy chirp!
it must've been love.
