Hello!
I'm coming to you from CLASS. Yeah, I know. Shame on me for writing a blog mid-public writing class. But here's the thing: I got about four hours of sleep last night, and I will fall asleep if I don't do anything other than listening. And I am listening! She's talking about her chinless baby (no joke)!
I'm actually writing this down on paper right now. Presumably I'll type it and post it later. Obviously if you're reading this, the I expended the effort. (Wombat of the future says: I am! And it feels weird to be typing all of the things that I was thinking earlier today.)
So...there has been SNOW here lately. It started on Friday night, and it's still sort of sticking around. First it snowed. Then it sort of melted. Then it froze. This caused ICE. Lots of ice! VERY DANGEROUS ICE! They've cleared it all off of the roads but the sidewalks are TREACHEROUS (Update from Wombat of the Future: It's pretty much all melted now)! Over the weekend, I almost fell SEVERAL times. I was only saved by clutching Basmah (my roommate). And then yesterday I slipped and almost fell once. One problem that I have is that I MAJORLY OVERREACT whenever I start to slip. Seriously. My foot slides JUST A TINY BIT, and I windmill my arms and give an embarrassingly girlish squeal. This behavior is unlike me (particularly the squealing bit), but there's something about not being able to trust the ground. I'm used to putting my foot down and it pretty much staying where I want it to be. I like being able to trust what I'm standing and walking on. Another thing. My ice walk is REALLY WEIRD. It's this sort of bizarre duck-walk. I turn my feet way out because I seem to think that will help. I don't know why. And I take these really stiff, tiny steps like an old woman who's just had a hip replacement. Yeah, it's attractive. Still, it's better than falling on my butt and ACTUALLY having a hip replacement.
Anyway, I think the moral of this story is that ice is NOT GOOD. And also that they should've cancelled school yesterday. My sister's still in high school, and she had snow days Friday, yesterday, AND today. Ok, back to not being a good thing. Snow is good. Ice is not. Except when it forms these really pretty glass ball looking things on trees, which are illuminated by golden light at night. BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY (Message from future Wombat: one that I wrote down originally, but I didn't want to type it all out).
(This is all from future Wombat: I THOUGHT OF AN IDEA FOR MY INCOMPLETE NANO NOVEL!!! Yeah, I started NaNo but didn't finish. But I've been WANTING to finish it, especially because I never really got INTO the plot due to the fact that I didn't really HAVE an IDEA about what the plot should be. BUT NOW I HAVE SOMETHING! And I REALLY want to write it all down in the novel, but I DON'T HAVE TIME!!! Too much homework and school and interning.)
Speaking of interning, I think I'll do a blog about that soon. A day in the life of an intern or something. That could be fun.
Ok, that's it!
Best wishes!
Wombat

Ooh, blog entry! I’m coming at you DURING LUNCH to write this comment. However, I don’t know if I’ll be able to POST the actual comment because it’s all “I block anything remotely Julia enjoys doing” so… YES. You’ll probably get this comment later tonight, when I shimmy into the computer chair. XD!
ReplyDeleteA chinless baby?! That’s a weird topic to be having in a university class! And it’s even a little bit weirder when it’s her OWN chinless baby. Have you ever seen a picture of Chin Chan? She’s got no chin, I think.
But! Speaking of people falling asleep, today in first period, a girl DID fall asleep. And the teacher kinds of walks over to her desk, and he’s all “SLAM MY FIST ON THE DESK BY YOUR EAR” and she was all “Whahaha?!” you know, classic style.
SO! I’m glad you’re writing this. So I can “talk” to you. Ooh, exciting. Oh. You wrote this out? Haha, that’s funny Leah. For some reason I’m kind of smiling to myself, and I think the girl next to me is all … >.> about my sanity. BUT OH WELL!
HA! WHOAH. FUTURE WOMBAT, YOU’RE MY BUDDY! BUT SO IS PAST WOMBAT. Oh, current Julia is writing this, but FUTURE JULIA will be posting this. It’s like a connection! LEAH, YOU HAVE TO ENJOY THIS CONNECTION WE’RE HAVING IN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT WAYS/TIMES! =D
Haha. I still can’t stop giggling at Future Wombat. Seriously. But! Yay for the snow melting. All the snow is still HERE, at MY place of residence. And it’s going to be like this until like April. My mom last night was all “winter is almost over” and I’m all “DUDE! WE STILL HAVE THREE MONTHS LEFT!” It’s so sad to think about this. But enough woes of Julia, I shall get back to reading your blog! *squeals silently in head*
Liar! You give fangirl screams and squeals to Taylor Lautner! =O You’ve been lawyered!
HOWEVER, I find your little “I’m about to fall dance” rather amusing. I also do something like that, but I don’t windmill my arms about. I just kind of put my hands down all like, PLEASE DON’T HURT ME. Although honestly, if I WAS going to fall, I’d either sprain one OR TWO wrists. It’d be like Sam, but without the gun, hero or awesome David after.
Word is telling me my grammar sucks, but I DON’T CARE!
I walk weird on the ice, too! I take small steps, and because my boots have like ZERO GRIP THINGS, I usually indeed DO fall! You remember how I told you I hurt my ankle and fell in some snow? WELL, I landed like right on my back. There was no falling on the butt there! Snow went up my jacket that same time. Whoah oah, the universe is against Julia a few weeks ago!
Also: Trusting the ground you walk on? EXCELLENT. Not being able to? LAME! I get you, Leah WOMBAT!
…
Seriously, your sister had THAT MUCH SNOW DAYS BECAUSE OF THE SNOW THAT IS LINGERING?!?!?!?!?!
Really Leah? You’d think writing it out would be harder than typing it out. HOWEVER, you do like writing so it works for your logic. xD
OH, DAY IN THE LIFE IF AN INTERN! *waits*
*saves to email*
(Future Julia: I did comment you this! YAY!)
