A new entry in my exciting travel log!!

June 11- Yes, I did finally move...*mumbles* 300 feet...

June 12- I felt especially springy and full of energy, so I hopped up and started a quick walk. I jogged a bit too, before running into someone. It was just my luck that this someone was an extremely annoying 12 year old boy and who made strange grunting and squeaking noises. I jogged on, but he followed, making disgusting noises to the rythym of my steps. (I leave you to figure out what those noises were...) A sharp "Shutup" only made him redouble his efforts, so I gave him a push. Tumbling over, cursing, he remained on the ground. I had made a good choice, he didn't want to get up. I jogged on in peaceful silence. But, a short time later and after 2 miles, I grew thirsty, so I decided to stop for a break. This break continued longer than I had planned (as always) and night came, so I made camp.

June 13- Yes, I moved again *mumbles* 300 feet...

June 15- Stop your laughing! I moved! *mumbles* 300 feet...

June 16 - Melkor take you, I did walk! I started on a nice path somewhere with some trees and plants. Then I came upon a small pond. Around it were some geese and ducks. At this sight, I made the mistake of taking out a chunk of bread (of course I'd have food you domnoddy!) and ripped off little pieces to throw at these birds. Well, I soon decided that they had had enough of my bread, so I moved on down the path. That's when they started toward me. I thought there had been some geese! More like 50! And ducks too! *mumbles again* Okay, maybe not 50, but close...how about 40? But anyway, I of course, took off at a run. That's when they morphed into fire breathing horned tortoises. Yes, and chased me another few feet. Then they stopped, and I breathed easily, after only a few minutes of panting. Did I say fire breathing horned tortoises? Well...what I meant to say was...they got all puffy and opened there beaks!! It was horrifying! Oh, I almost forgot. I slew three ants today! *flexes muscles*

Okay, I'll stop.

I, slowness itself, have traveled a total of... *drum roll* 4.55 miles! *cymbal crash* YAY!!!
