Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Once again, I'm sitting here at my computer, typing whatever strange things that occur around my desk. This time I am chatting with Mr CD player. He's become somewhat of a celebrity among my possessions since he saved all of them from the fluffy maniacal pencil case.

Ever so often he is clapped on the back by a drink bottle or approached by a few tentative crayons asking for his autograph. They all praise him around the clock and I suspect all this attention has gone to his head. He's still repeating the story to whoever will stand still long enough.

"Yeah, it was pretty gruesome," he drawled, "We were fighting for days...it was endless. Of course I knew I'd win. He was no match. None at all."

I note that he's changed the story a little. I say nothing and continue typing.

"...then he multiplied and suddenly there were three of them, circling me, all about twice my size. And you know how it is, the odds are against me, but I beat 'em, oh I beat 'em good! "

There was, of course only one fluffy pencil case. Mr Im-the-greatest CD player is now acting out his version of events, complete with voices and sound effects.

"...and he was like, "Rahh! Cower mere discman!" But I stood my ground and met him with a FWACK of my earphones and a CLANG and knocked the first one off the table and into the bin!"

I raise my eyebrows, wondering if he'd forgotten that I'd actually been there when the "fight" had occured. It must be the fame. Its affecting his brain too. Pity, he was such a good CD Player.

When I say nothing, he continues to tell his tale...

"And then the second comes at me, hissing and grinding its zippered jaws. Without warning he pounces and knocks me into the printer. I'm fine of course, its not like I didn't anticipate that, I was simply....uh...tired! Yeah, tired from fighting the last one. "

A few of the pens that are looking on nudge each other meaningfully and whisper.

"...then, before I knew it, the third one had jumped on me too!"

A few of them are creeping up on him while he boasts. I sense that I'm not the only one fed up with Mr CD player.

"..so here I am, fighting these two gigantic pencil cases single handedly."

He looks around impressively, puffing out his earphones. The advancing pens freeze and look innocent, pretending to be fascinated. Hmm...I didn't know pens were such good actors because Mr CD player goes on with his story, not suspecting a thing. But then that may be due to his own self-absorption.

"And I twist and kick the first one in the middle, sending it sprawling across the room. Hah! Take that!!"

He mimes the movements and the pens continue to advance.

The CD player is absorbed in telling his story, and without warning, the pens pounce, forcing him over the edge of the table and into my bin.

"Yeah, and I still had that last pencil case to deal with so I tur-ARGH!!"

I watch on silently as another group of my accessories shove the lid on top of the bin. I can still vaguely hear the sound of muffled speech but I don't worry too much. Yesterday I was trying to listen to one of my CD's but all I could here was the CD Player giving his speech of triumph.

My mum has just asked me if I needed to buy anything, she was going to the shops.
"Yeah mum," I reply, "I need a new CD player. The old one broke."

From somewhere near the ground I heard a muffled but indignant shout. I took the (now rather battered) world encyclopedia and shoved it on top of the bin lid.

A fluffy pencil case is eating my hand...

I wonder whether I should give it my apple instead. It would definitely be a better alternative to this. Pencil cases generally don't have teeth, this one is no exception. Instead, it seems to be trying to swallow my hand whole. This is not working.

"You see, Mr Pencil case, my hand is attached to my arm, which is attached to the rest of me, and you can't hope to eat all of me."

The pencil case gives me a dirty look and proceeds to eat all my pens

After consuming all of my pens, the fluffy pencil case attempts to eat my mouse. It swallows it, but then gags on the cord. My mouse is now covered in fluff. The pencil case looks about ready to try again. I decide to sacrifice my apple.

Wow...this pencil case sure is hungry. It has eaten my apple, spat out the core, and then eaten the core. I can barely see the keys for all the fluff it’s emitting. I have to do something.

I scan the room for a large, heavy object, preferably close at hand. My eyes land on the world encyclopedia... perfect.

The pencil case seems to sense my plan. It growls and scrabbles onto my computer. Its corner is poised threateningly over the shut down button. I freeze.

"You've got me there, Mr Pencil case."

I put the encyclopedia on the table in front of it. It a flash, it has been eaten too. Ooh, pencil case, your in for it now.
The pencil case has consumed almost everything on my desk, from the world encyclopedia to my packet of chips. All that is left is my CD player.

The pencil case eyes the CD player hungrily, growling softly. It advances slowly on its prey, preparing to pounce...when KA-PLONK! The CD player has knocked the pencil case flat with one great lob of its headphones. Go Mr CD player!

The CD player and the pencil case are circling each other warily. Pencil case coughs up some fluff threateningly, and snaps its zippered jaws. The CD-player is spinning its headphones slowly, staring its opponent down.

All of a sudden, the pencil case gags. It retches and then regurgitates most of what it’s eaten. Even my apple is there. Eww. It’s all lying there in a pile on my desk, along with a whole lot of fluff. The pencil case retreats, looking depressed. Then, it commits suicide, jumping into the rubbish bin.

Wierd...I was short of gold today, so I decided to take a rare visit to the chatterbox forum. Before i knew it, I was telling a story of how amazing orange and green spotted peanuts were. They said it was good so I decided to put it all together. I've added a heart to separate each individual post.

Purple spotted gorillas are dancing on my drink bottle

heart

but now they've turned into purple spotted peanuts...innocently lying on my scanner. I wonder if that’s a tuft of purple hair sprouting out of one end...?
heart

...the purple spotted peanuts are turning orange. The tuft of hair is still sticking out of it though, and is also turning orange.

The spots are now green.

heart

Wow, I never knew peanuts could swim. They've dived into my drink bottle and are now practicing synchronised swimming techniques...it must be the orange and green spots.
...ooh, my water has now turned a browny, murky colour. It seems to be a rather icky mixture of orange and green. Again, I suspect the spots. The peanuts are now playing Marco polo. I can hear them...

"Marco!"
"polo!"
"MARCO!"
"POLO!"

heart

A fight seems to have broken out between two of the peanuts. They're really getting rough in there...my drink bottle is shaking. I can hear them screaming peanut curses at each other...

"Rotten nut of a shell!!!"
"why you...cracked walnut!!"
"how dare you @#&$*%!"

wow, their more aggro than I thought...the other orange and green peanuts are retreating, climbing slowly out of the drink bottle to give the two some space.

heart

I have decided to teach those over-aggressive peanuts a lesson. I close the lid on them and give the bottle a hard long shake. The other peanuts look on aghast, one pale looking one fainted and fell into my yogurt. Damn...I'll have to throw it out now, dunno where that orange and green peanut has been. *gives bottle another hearty shake*

I set the bottle down and watch as the bubbles disappear. The two peanuts emerge, looking dishevelled and rather dizzy. I think they have learnt not to fight in the drink bottle.

heart

I use my spoon to help the peanut that fell into my yogurt onto a tissue. The others cluster around and try to awaken her. Oops, I think the peanut drowned in my yogurt.

The rest of the orange and green peanuts slowly leave her. I'm left with a creamyish orangey blob on my tissue and orangey, greeny looking yogurt.

It's still the hols, and I'm still bored out of my mind.
I've gotten to know gaia a bit more now, and I'd just like to thank Dark14 SOOOOO much for helping me out. You are a great person Dark14, and I will be eternally grateful to you. 3nodding

razz Nothing to rant about this time so I'll stop now.

See ya peeps!

Wow...its my first day on gaia. My character is naked, my inventory is empty, and my gold is low as I step into this new and interesting world of virtual manga. I wonder what awaits me? sweatdrop

Ok...maybe I'm feeling a little weird at the moment. DOn't be scared... I'm not usually like this. It's the boredom of the holidays. stare I'll have to find something to do that does not involve sitting in front of the computer all day with my eyes glued.
Think I'll finish this off now. Til next time...
