Oh wow! Is she writing a new blog? Yes, I am! Haha, I haven’t written in a while for a couple of reasons. Ok!! The Commodores are cool!! Yes, very very very cool! Also, guess what has finally been invented?? Trial-size Lysol cans!!!! Yes, this is so great!! Now I can push a grocery cart without being exposed to twenty different diseases lying on the surface of the handle!! Now I can touch doorknobs and use phones without millions of tiny germs crawling all over me!! Haha, please use this product so that they do not take it off the market! Ok?? Also, I want to see Wicked so badly!!(Its a musical!) I keep seeing so many cameos and ads for it! I want to go see it so badly!!! Ok, also, I am going to write short stories about Irvine Kinneas and me! LoL. Really!! I’m going to post them up here, on my website too!! So, look out for it! I will tell you when they are up! You know, to be honest, nothing very amazing and interesting has happened to me these past few weeks…at least nothing that I can share openly! So, I am going to make something up! Ok, well, last Tuesday, I flew down to Fisherman’s Horizon and as I was walking, I saw a bum eating a piece of soggy wood! So, I asked him why he was eating wood, and he told me that he wanted to turn into a tree. I thought, “Gee, that really doesn’t make any sense…just because you eat something, doesn’t mean you become it!” Well, I really had nothing better to do (besides go down to Balamb and visit all my buddies!), so I sat down next to him and asked why he wanted to turn into a tree.
“Not just any tree!!” He exclaimed. “I want to be the biggest, tallest tree in the world!”
“Oh really, and why is that?”
He went on to tell me a story about this girl he met in Winhill and fell in love with a decade ago. They planned to get married in Balamb the summer after they met, but they never did. He said one day they were laying in the grass together, admiring the scintillating stars, when a shooting star bolted out of the sky and landed, less than gracefully in the girl’s open mouth. She jumped to her feet, choking on the luminous ball of plasma! Finally, she swallowed it and started laughing. They both started laughing…until…brilliant rays of light began bursting through her pores. Her eyes turned a cold blue and her hair was a glowing flame. She floated up, towards the sky. He tried to grab her, and pull her back down..but her flesh was too hot to touch. All he could do was watch her float up towards the sky, until all she was was a bright and blazing star.

“So, you see,” he concluded, “the only way I can find her, is if I can reach her…and the only way I can reach her is if I am a giant tree. Then I can stretch out my longest branch and bring her down.”
“How will you know which star is her?” I wondered.
“She is the brightest star with a soft pink tint…” His voice lingered and he began to ignore me…gnawing on his piece of wood while gazing with a promising eye to the heavens.

I got up and walked away. I hope he does turn into a tree! That would be splendiforous!! Don’t you think so!? If you actually read that completely random story, I thank you! Haha, I have much love for you! Ok, bye! <3 Jenn <3
