READ: THIS STORY IS ORIGINALLY MADE BY LEGOTATE! HE STOPPED MAKING IT, BUT I WILL CONTINUE IT!
(In case you are wondering, legotate stopped writing at chapter 2. Everything from chapter 3 and beyond is made by me.)
____ June 15, 2014
Well, I am going to start writing in a journal to help improve my handwriting. And to also keep up with my memories, and my life now. Because someday I will read this and say how funny it was, have a few laughs, and just have a good day. But that day is yet to come and I decided to start now, because who knows? I might not be the only one going to read this later.
June 17, 2014
I had forgotten about this journal already, so I've decided I should make another entry now; mostly because of the thing I saw earlier today. I was walking down the block and I saw a stray guest wondering about in my neighbors yard. It was eating her small tomato plants. It slowly stopped and then turned to me. We starred for about a minute, then he lifted his hand and took a baby step closer to me. After about 8 minutes he was only about 4 yards away from me. I was slowly approaching him also, just taking smaller baby steps. About a minute later he lifted its right arm and hovered it toward my leg slowly. I didn't move, nor did I look at it in the face.
He lifted its head to me and with its smiley face, I knew that inside it was trying to test me. I could see it through its eyes that it felt bigger than me but less prepared. I nodded, and then it moved his arm to touch my leg. I was shocked, but it was touching; literally.
After I tried to put my arm down to pet him on his head ( I could now see, it was a boy), he scampered off away into my neighbors bushes. I'm not sure if I should tell my her that there were guests in her yard, she would probably go crazy and try to catch and kill them all.
I will keep my eye our for more guests in the area.
June 18, 2014
Today I went walking down the street again, I found the same guest, but this time he took a strange approach. The guest ran up to me, and jumped on me; not violently, just as a puppy would to his new master. He knew times were tough, and he wanted help - he knew I would be the source of it. So, I put my arm down to pet him. He didn't run away, he didn't try to avoid it, he just stayed there and accepted it. It was quite adorable, then I noticed something I didn't yet.
He had a collar on. He let me look under his neck to read the inscription. It read "2013", which was probably just a coincidence, being the year 2014.. He looked at me with the glare of the sun in his eyes. He took a step closer and put his arm on my foot. I knew what he wanted. I did just that. We got home, he ran straight in, and then into the bathroom, he must have (smelled?) toilet water. I chased after him to make sure he didn't cause any trouble, bu when I got into the bathroom he was laying on the ground -- his hind leg up, a stream of yellow water followed. He's a charmer. I cleaned him up, I guess I didn't think about food, bathrooms, living space and all. And I knew he was going to be a pain in the hind, but hey was too cute to be mad at him for long.
Before I knew it, it was already 11:30, so I knew it was time for bed. 2013 (His name, I guess would be appropriate) was laying down on the floor behind the sofa, in the doorway. He was very cute with tired eyes where you could see his expression. I laid out a towel under the dining table, made a house under it with cardboard boxes, and lured him in. 2013 came to it and looked inside, he then went inside, sniffing his new surroundings. He found a House Spider, I think he just ate it. I watched him for about 15 minutes before he decided it was time to go to bed. I slipped a blanket over him in case he got cold, he didn't care, I don't even think he noticed. He was long asleep.
Early morning June 19, 2014
I knew I had to come up with a plan. So when I woke up at 4 A.M. to go to the bathroom, I didn't go back to bed. I got on my computer and made a To-Do with Microsoft Word. It went like this:
• Go to Wall-mart for new underwear • Buy chew toy for 2013 • Buy dog house for 2013 • Find missing AA Battery • Get bugged by my mother over the phone to get me to go to college and get a job • Play with 2013 • Do the Sudoku in the mail • Research guest facts and parenting
I had almost forgotten to check on 2013! I ran into the living room to check on him, and what I saw there was unbelievable. The dining table was flipped on its side. there were cardboard flaps on the floor, one was chewed on. Worst of all, 2013 wasn't there. I was sure I had locked the doors and windows last night, and they were all closed tightly still with their locks on them. 2013 was nowhere to be found, but I knew he was here somewhere.
Soon, I found him. He was hiding inside a pillowcase in the laundry room. I tried to get him out but he didn't listen! He tried squirming in the pillow case and making me let go. He was resisting violently until I lost patience and just shut the door and left him in the laundry room. I let him stay in there for about twenty minutes until I heard a banging sound. I went to open the door to check on him and he jumped out and tackled me down on sight with the pillow case over his head. Then he ran around the room pounding on his chest and falling constantly. It was quite funny.
I got tired of this mess and tripped him and held him down, he resisted again and tried to roll out of my grasp. 2013 was like a wild animal; a guest. I restraint him back and tried to calm him down. 2013 calmed down, but he was really still exited. He finally calmed down completely. We had a long stare. I stared with anger and stress. 2013 stared with a blank default face. I slapped him. He slapped back. I kicked him. He kicked back. I got tired of this and and wanted to just do the things on my To-Do list already.
I had to go to wall-mart to buy the chew toy, dog hog house, underwear. I had to leave him home to go to Wall-mart. So when I got there the pet aisle was at the north of the store. So I just had to walk all the way there, even though I didn't want to. The other time I went here it was for groceries. Now, it was for pet needs. And underwear.
I got the most yummy looking chew toy and most durable dog house, it cost me almost 120.00 dollars. I didn't want to be robbed by the guest but I needed to help him. When I drove home he was still in his bed. I set up the dog house and put the chew toy right in front of it. But I just wanted to test the chew toy.
I squeaked the chew toy, and I heard footsteps coming fast towards me getting closer and louder. He instantly came after me (or the chew toy). And he was squeaking away. It wasn't even annoying.
By this time it was already 17:30. I found the missing AA battery, I guess you could say I played with 2013, I did the sodoku but I had to research guest parenting.
This is what I found later researching guest parenting:
-Guests are mammels, they require at minimum 5 hours of play time EACH day, and they were easy to excite and get roudy with. -A Guest's collar has the year he was born in on it, they mysteriously appear over night while nobody is watching. -Guest food does not exist, they prefer pizza instead. -Guests can be trained, but who said it was easy. -Guests are very intelligent people.
These things I didn't know. To gather those informations I had to research for HOURS just to find those. Guest parenting is a rare occurance. 2013 and I agreed we both wanted to call it a day and go to sleep.
June 21, 2014
I'm going to teach 2013 how to talk.
So I rented a bunch of books at the library on grammar and parenting on guests. We practiced once, he just took the book and hit me with it. I tried to take the book back but he just hit me with it again. 2013 was really not going to be easy to teach how to talk. So, I will make him watch educational shows for hours for a few days. I will make him learn, he is just too wild to teach him in a legit manner. So, I seated him on the couch with a steaming hot bag of popcorn and a soda can with a straw in it. I turned the televison straight at him, and turned it on multiscreen and played 4 of the most confident educational dvd's I could find. I took him to the bathroom first.
I will leave him for 2 hours and check on him again.
________ ----2---- ________
It has been 2 hours, and my hopes are high, only one of the dvd's havn't ended yet and 2013 eyes are glued to the screen. I waited until it ended, which wasn't a short time. The dvd was done, 2013 stilled had his eyes on the screen as the credits came on. And then he looked at me and I heard somehting quite unbelievable.
"Friend"
Then he splashed the rest of the soda in my face and took a handfull of popcorn and stuffed it in my mouth.
'Hello?' I said back.
"Friend" he said again.
'Yes, I am Friend, you are...?' I said, hoping that wasn't the only word he knew.
"I like you"
'Okay, is your name?'
"Use the chat menu to talk to me"
I looked at him like with a face that said 'Say what!?'
"Use the chat menu to talk to me"
I had no idea what this chat menu was. But for him to know something I didn't was quite suspicious. I decided to Gooblox this "Chat menu". I looked at the most reliable results, and I got a list of chat menu chats and what they were. In the meantime, 2013 was gnawing on his chew toy. I found the right answer I wanted, and I said it.
'Friend' I said, hoping I did it right. He turned all his attention on me and said "Friend". 'Friend' I said again. "Friend" he said again.
"Come to my place!" He ran into his dog house before I got a chance to say anything else. I followed him, even though I couldn't fit in I sat outside observing."Come to my place!" he said again, he really wanted me inside his dog house. Instead of going in with him, I just handed him a chew toy. 2013 ignored the chew toy and stared at me with the blank expression on his face.
"Please" he said. he REALLY wanted me in. I gave in and sat in with him, it was crowded with two people and one didn't barely fit. "Rate it!" he said to me wanting me to tell him what I thought about his house. '9/10' I said to be honest, I did a good choice in picking out the right dog house. "I can only see chat menu chats" "Use the chat menu to talk to me" 2013 said with a heavy face on. 'I give it a 9 out of 10!' I said just to please him.
2013 let me free a time ago, so I went to research and memorize the chat menu chats in my head. One by one, reciting them in my head and often having a conversation with my self in my head. Just using chat menu chats, I didn't talk out of it for about 20 minutes.
Then I had struck an idea.
Computers, I could teach him to talk to me using regular words by using a computer keyboard. So I dragged him into my chair and tried my best to keep 2013 from smashing my computer. Instantly he got the idea and typed words to me that were shocking. Also he could convienently type fast already.
He typed out this: "friend". The grammar was terrible, but I gained hope he could communicate effective with me. To sum the rest of the day up, I learned he couldn't type like me, he could only ONLY type chat menu chats. Which was a down side to all of this.
But at least he learned to read and talk.
June 22, 2014
Over the last week me and 2013 have really met each other and became good friends, and when you talk to a guest who just learned to talk, you can't help but feel proud. But I had just one question.
What was that logo on the front on his shirt?
It spelled out 'ROBLOX' with a red outline and a white filling. I went to 2013, who was tring to climb the fridge. And then, I said 'ROBLOX'. 2013 didn't stop trying to climb the fridge but he did say "ROBLOX" back to me, which I'm not sure if I can remember if it was on the menu chat list. I'm just gogin to assume it's not important. Also, there are writings on his back that said "Make a free account to change how you look!", I don't know what that means but I also hope that it isn't important either.
And just somehting wasn't right. I don't know what it is with 2013, but he is kind of dull; like he was missing something. I pondered the subject and found it. I really found it! An old blue Arctic Hood my dad gave me a couple years back. So I put it on 2013, hoping he wouldn't just rip it up. He wore it and he liked it. He even called me "Friend" when I gave it to him. 2013 was still climbing to get on the fridge, he did soon, it almost fell over on me and 2013 just stood there with an innocent face. But after these events nothing interesting enough to write down in here happened.
June 23, 2014
I noticed 2013 didn't eat anything for the last two days, he has not used the bathroom, taken a bath, or rip up something as well. He is a strange creature but he is going to go hungry. I also gave him a cup of chocolate milk today, he drunk it and then chewed on the cup. I popped some popcorn just a few minutes ago and he ate it all, but threw up a few seconds later; right on my shoe. I wondered how he lived with him self, because I am noticing we're getting no where. He needs one thing and that is school, if he does not go to school than he will not learn to read, write or dance up to his peak. I am thinking about it and I might conclude it is just what he needs, I asked him a math question and he said the only number he knew; 2013. Though the math question was 2012 plus he didn't ever go outside. My hand is hurting so i'll just leave you for the day. I'm afraid he's going to have anger issues when he grows up. Just a guess though.
June 24, 2014
Today I got 2013 to eat a taco from Tacobell, we expirimented and he liked tacos with candy down the middle, nothing else but the shell and the candy. In history the ancient Humans, all of them; had terrible dental hygiene. We however didn't have teeth, except for our faces changing to a chomping. The Humans were much more advanced it seems, more or less in architecture. But in other words, my hand is hurting violently, I shall continue to write tomorrow. But 2013s habits are back, and he is doing just well. He ran into the glass door and cried because he thought he was trapped. He was, in a way..
June 25, 2014
i broke my hand wile playing with 2013
it all started wen 2013 an i got fight, but we restled an he won an i had go doctor and 2013 sad but i forgiv he learning it axident he sory i hav to rite in my left hand i b okay soon don worry
June 26, 2014
my hand still hurts, turns out it was a minor injury and i was very lucky. it healed overnight, but im going to not rush anything. and to improve my writing, i may not understand later, of course i can probably translate it in noob languaged. but still, i dont want to write too much because it might hurt later and i might be straining myself to write, and i dont want to hurt a muscle. so today was short for it, i know but at least 2013 wrote me a story it went 'friend i like... you come to my place im sorry :('
and i was touched, and he has been reading alot lately, i dont know if he actually understands it but he is reading at an alarming rate so sudden, i dont know what has gotten into him but it saves me a lot of trouble. he just came in a while aho and said Juice! a few times, i got him some juice, and he is very gentle. He's learning.
June 27, 2014
I can't feel the pain in my hand anymore, I went this morning and the doctor said it was perfectly normal. I found myself in a bad place though; 2013 and I went to the museum just down the street and 2013 climbed on the Tyrannosaurous Rex exhibit and the head fell on it with him in it. He struggled his way out of his mouth and screamed Juice! I had to pay a darn 3000 USD fine for it. And I just don't know if I can afford him. He has been a REAL lot of trouble and I don't want to disapoint him. So today I decided I not take him anywhere until I get enough money to pay the fine; I already payed 2000$ of it in my good ol' bank but I need money. The hand incident costed 300 USD and he just sits there like an innocent puppy who just went to the bathroom on the wooden floor.
2013 was just fantastic to me. And I just noticed as I was writing that this journal is more about 2013 more than it's about me. Well I didn't expect that, but a lot of things can happen when you have a guest terrorising your home. I am also noticing he is using the restroom without going outside. But in short I'm afraid I'm going to lose sanity after somehting big happens because he's a guest. And guests are guests.
June 28, 2014
Today I woke up very early to buy a dog collar. 2013 was just fine while I was gone. I opened the door slowly as I tried to not startle 2013. 2013 had startled me instead. 2013 was jumping on the cough with torn pillows everywhere saying "Hello" "Goodbye" "Hello" "Friend" "Goodbye" in that sort of order. And I had to clean it up. Again, another reason 2013 will be the death of me. 2013 had again; stared at me with an innocent expression on his smiley face. So, I found his favorite squeakey toy under his blue hood and I squeaked it. He stopped and dropped whatever he was doing and turned his full attention on me. I threw it in his mouth, it landed perfectly. He ran up to the couch and jumped on it, and leaned against the back of it. I was right behind the couch. The squeakey toy fell out of his mouth and he smiles bigger under his blank default smiley face. I don't know why he is so energetic and he runs around playing all the time like sweat just ain't there.
I lured 2013 to his dog house, and he went in without saying a word. But he did say :(. The rest of the day I decided to just relax, 2013 easily went to sleep. I noticed how he walked with four legs on the ground when he was littler and now he is standing on his two feet. And it took me a long time to notice that.
June 29, 2014
Today when I woke up I heard scratching on my bedroom door. 2013 wanted to get in to see me but I didn't want to see him. I just wanted to go back to sleep. I just ignored him and he found out I was awake and tarted howling. I put the pillows on my head to drown out the noise but it didn't work as well as it should. I tried to just ignore him until he lost hope but he was persistant to wake me up. And then soon, I think about an hour or two later he gave up and stopped what he was doing. I yawned and went back to sleep, before I heard whimpering. My face went red with anger because I just wanted to sleep. I looked at the time. The clock said 10:34, and if I remember correctly it said 7:06 when I first looked at it at the beginning of the morning.
2013 gave up completely and went back in his dog house; I think, I didn't bother to check on him. I went to sleep already. That didn't last long in my eyes when I woke back up to use the bathroom an hour later, as soon as 2013 heard me he ran up to my door and scratched again. I used the bathroom and came out and opened the door to let 2013 in. As soon as I did this, he jumped right on me. Pushing me down and panting. 2013 licked my face with his inanimate mouth decal. I don't remember how I felt but I just took it like a man and let him do what he was going to do. About 3 minutes later he got done licking me and he ran into his dog house. I was about to explode in anger, but he didn't know any better. He started shreiking so I ran into the living room to find a guess looking out the window bashing his head against it trying to break free. I got him steamed and he down and he pushed me down again. I tried to make him calm down and stay put. And finally he did just that. But the rest of the day was pretty slow; it would not be very interesting enough to write down in here. So bye for the day. Except I heard the first fireworks of the 4th of july.
July 1, 2014
2013 wasn't there when I came out of my room when I woke up at about 7:00 AM. I felt worried, he was nowhere to be found. I don't want to spend all my time looking for him, so I just waited for a few long hours and he hasen't shown up anywhere. I feel bad for him that he is not here, he could be anywhere but I don't know where. All the doors and windows were closed and locked; but not his dog cage gate. I knew he was going to show up somewhere sooner or later. He didn't. I got worried that he was still lost about 10:30 PM, I am hoping he didn't run away and that he's just playing a game with me; tricking me into fear. I called my neighbor to ask if she saw a stray guest around the neighborhood. She didn't though she called her friends and they didn't either see a stray guest. I knew 2013 was lost now.
July 2, 2014
I'm still writing from yesturday though I've been contacting my friends and neighbors about this stray guest. I spent about the last hour making small cardboard signs that said "". Now it is 1:42 AM and I put on my raincoat and got my umbrella (because it was raining. duh) and went out into the cold wet creul world outside. I started looking for clues, like pawprints in the seemingly endless pits of mud puddles in the ground. I realized not after 2 minutes that he would have left a long time ago, the only wet on the ground when he left was the dew on the grass. I had to make a dicision and find which direction I should start looking. I went west down the road where I fond him at. The street lights were dim, and every six or seven I passed one of their lightbulbs were broken. When I got to the end of the street there was a dead end other than a small path leading to the old playground and creek. I found the creek; small tree had fallen down by all the wind and water that the rain produced. That tree fell over the water on one side to the other over the small polluted stream that slowly moved under it. I had a strong feeling 2013 was curious and decided to follow the water, as I imagine most stray animals would do. I started to follow the water down the not so steep stream with hopes 2013 was strong and in good hands; if any hands at all. The rain had started to just drizzle and was lightening up a bit, and then it stopped raining. It was still very cold and windy, and I noticed the frost on the cars and wooden steps as I passed by a neighborhood close to the stream. The black sky turned purple and was getting brighter. I guessed I was looking for at minimum 5 hours and following the stream for 4 hours. While near the neighborhood I decided to take a break and go into one of the resturants nearby. I went in one called 'Jakes Family Diner'. It was styled like an old diner in the 50's. It was neat inside, colorful and lots of decor. A man walked up behind the counter and said 'What can I get you? Here's the menu' and handed me the menu. I declined his offer of the menu and rounded a conversation. I said "Do you know a nearby stream about a short stroll south from here?". The man behind the counter said 'Yes, why?', with an attitude that was very polite. "Where does it lead to at the bottom of it? I've been following it for a few hours and I needed a break so I wanted to know if I was wasting my time or not." I asked back. 'It leads to a small dead end. All around it is forest. Nothing much really' the man said. It was quite an awkward 30 second silence trying to think up a response. I thought a repsonse and said it with a straight voice: "How long is it from here? I lost my dog and I think he wondered up here, I hope.". He thought for a second or two and said 'Well, I'd say about sixth of a mile until the dead end. And about your dog, I hope you find him. I'll look out for any stray animals.'. I had to confess a half truth-half lie. I was desperate so I said "It actually isn't a dog, it's a guest I was keeping care of for a friend while he wason vacation, have you seen or heard of a stray guest around this area?". The mans smile went off and back on in a couple of seconds and said that one of his customers took him to the animal shelter. The man said that with a sincere look on his face so I decided to trust him. I kindly said goodbye and thank you. I forgot to order something for myself. I was hungry, I went to the bathroom in the woods, I was stinky and dirty and most of all sleepy. Very sleepy. I ordered some coffee and a warm bowl of soup and asked him to turn up the heat a bit. The man kindly did that and offerend me a water bottle when I was finished. As I left I asked him where thea animal shelter was; and what time it was. He told me (and it was 7:30 AM), and then I left. I went to the animal shelter and asked if they had a guest. They indeed did have two guests, the staff noted me one has been shy and wimpering and one had been here for a month looking for an owner. I knew the shy one was 2013 in a split second. I asked the staff if I could go see him, and told them I lost him. The Shelter staff allowed me to check which one is mine and 2013 was one of them when I checked. I didn't take him home just yet. I rented a cheap hotel room from a small 2 story house. The room was not dirty, it wasn't clean either. The clock read about 9:00 AM. I took a shower, watched a little Television then drunk some of the water the Diner man gave me; it had to make me use the restroom and then I went to bed. I woke up with a strong headache and no idea what time it was. I looked at the clock and it was only 4:21 PM. I got ready and went to the animal shelter and free'd 2013 from that prison. 2013 cooperated nicely and I gave him a piggyback ride all the way home. By the time we got home we were both exaughsted and thankfull that nightmare was over. I looked at the electric alarm clock beside my bed. It was 10:47 PM. Me and 2013 enjoyed the rest of the remaining night and satisfied ourselves with our regular everyday needs.
I am adding the next chapter soon. |
