Oh, sorry. It’s been so long since I made a journal entry, I’d almost forgotten what they look like…
That was a joke, by the way.
So, to recap:
- I saw The Avengers.
- Will and Horace went out to celebrate Horatio’s twentieth birthday along with Connor, Gervaise, and some of the other guys. (Yes, our intrepid commander just turned twenty! In the mind palace, that is. Timelines seem to get all muddled here.)
- Obi-Wan has been away for a while, due to (I think) copyright conflicts. No, wait, it was family stuff. Sorry. (That was sort of a bad Disney joke. I think.)
- The Avengers have mostly taken up permanent residence in the mind palace.
- Tony Stark tried to get Hiccup and Steve Rogers drunk. He didn’t succeed. (Which is surprising, since according to Astrid, Hiccup can’t take an awful lot of alcohol, but Hiccup’s clever; I’m sure he and Steve had Steve distract Tony while Hiccup only pretended to actually drink.)
- As a result, I (acting deputy for Mistress El’ye) made it official: Tony’s “adult rights” are officially revoked, since he acts like a toddler.
- Kirk flirted with Natasha. He woke up tied up in Obi-Wan’s room (this was while Obi-Wan was gone) with me interrogating him. It was such fun…
This morning, since it snowed, I woke up early. Well, it’s kind of hard to stay asleep when you have Dibbuns bouncing all over you, screaming, “IT SNOWED! IT SNOWED!” And guess what? It did snow.
And more than two inches.
No, the snow was deep enough to require the use of nice, high boots.
Naturally Obi-Wan, Horatio, Will and I got into our snow gear and went off to shovel our walks. We snowballed Loki when we saw him, and I taunted Loki (bad idea, in hindsight) that he looked like Horatio when he was in snow gear.
I ended up with an icicle down my back, but at least I got to sit on Loki until he surrendered. Though he promptly got up when I let him up and threw me in a snowbank. Cheater.
Horatio went to get cocoa while Obi-Wan and I finished clearing the walkways. Once we were done, Obi-Wan went to start a fire in the fire pit (outdoors), while I spent a while sliding down one of the banks in the garden on my front. I already had snow up and down both my back and my front. What was a little more?
Then Siri, Natasha, Pepper, and Evanlyn came out of the side door, all bundled up. I can only describe them by saying that Siri PWNS floppy hats with pompoms, while I’m bewildered by how anyone can look that good in a Parka. (Because apparently, Pepper can. I’m not quite sure what Natasha was wearing, but it looked like she’d semi-permanently-borrowed it from Clint. Evanlyn was wearing a similar outfit.
Pepper went back inside to see what was taking Horatio so long with the hot drinks, while Natasha headed toward the kitchen gardens to see if any of the late vegetables were still salvageable. That left myself, Siri, and Evanlyn alone. Bad idea.
I’m not quite sure how it happened, but somehow, Siri and I cooked up the idea of stealing Cap’s shield to use as a sled. So we did, aided and abetted by Evanlyn.
Turns out, vibranium can really enhance a slide. Some of that ride was hair-raising. And I still have no idea how we managed to fit all three of us onto one saucer.
But the absolute best part, other than the adrenaline, whooping, and screaming, was Cap’s face as three girls whizzed by, riding on his shield through the snow.
And then we crashed, but who cares? We convinced poor Steve (really, shouldn’t he know better than to listen to us by now?!) to try it next.
I love my life.

So good to hear from all you guys again.
What’s PWNS?
What happened to Steve?
Thank you. (Should I let one of the inhabitants of the mind palace take over for a post, do you think? Like Obi-Wan did that one time?)
PWN is what happens when your hands slide off the “o” and hit the “p” instead. It’s gamer parlance. I think. Basically behind-kicking. ;-P She owns the fluffy hat with pompom look.
Well, this is the funny part… Due to the vibration-absorbing thing, there’s a lot less friction to vibranium. So we sled a long way. But Steve Rogers, who can get up a LOT more momentum than three girls… well, he underestimated his own strength and ended up going all the way across the yard, over the bank which the wind had drifted up against the wall, slipping partway up the wall of the garden, and twisted completely head-over-heels in midair before wiping out. It. Was. Epic. I got to try it next–I had Steve give me a push and I think I did a loop-the-loop through the air. Good thing that the arborvitae aren’t all that solid. Such fun… ^_^ When Siri went, she shot straight over the low section of the wall and almost landed in the creek. And then she hugged Obi-Wan and freaked him out a little, I think. It was odd, but hilarious, and FUN ^_^
Next time we go sledding, though, we’re doing it on the hills a quarter of a mile down the road. Less risky that way.
(Ohhh… that would be so cool…. please let it be Siri?)
Ph. I do not understand the internet sometimes 😉
Whoa… was Siri freaked out about nearly landing in the creek, hence hugging for solace, or way excited, hence hugging in joy? Curious.
(Hmm… good idea… 😉 )
My dear, NO ONE understands the internet. It follows no rule of logic, unless you keep to the saner parts. 😛
She was over excited, I think. Obi-Wan blushed. It was funny, and adorable. (Yes, I just called Obi-Wan adorable. I mean, aren’t all the nicer boys in literature at some time or another?!)
(Don’t understand your last sentence. Do you mean that nice boys are in literature, or that nice boys in literature are adorable?)
(Nice boys in literature can be adorable. That’s what I was trying to say…)
Agreed.
😛
OHMIGRAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this, it’s so, so… And sledding on Steve’s shield… *cracks up*
Thanks! 😀 And it was so fun to watch, too… ;-P He flailed around on it like a kid on a saucer sled when it was his turn. X-D *coughcough* read the rest of the comments *wink* *coughcough*
Oh. My. Gravy. I am seriously wanting to visit the mind palace now…
^_^
Hmmm, now that’s an idea… 😉 I may write at some point…
I can make myself a character if I must… 😀
😛 Hmmm… 😉 I’m not sure if that’s necessary… Iris has been known to visit the Mind Palace from time to time. 😛
Then I’m in!!!!! XD
😀 I’ll see what I can do to write it!
Ha! That sounds totally awesome. Sledding on Steve’s shield! YES! That made me laugh out loud, literally. Also, #6 on your recap. xD And semi-permanently-borrowed. xD
Thank you! And it was ^_^ I maybe-sort-of asked Tony to make sleds with runners that were coated with vibranium if they ever found any more… ;-P
Glad I was able to get a laugh! 😀 (Semi-permanently-borrowed started with me, because I semi-permanently-borrow a lot of my mom’s stuff. 😛 ) I should write more about “adult rights” in Selay’uu, shouldn’t I? 😉
You’re welcome. And haha. Good luck with that.
Yes, you should. (And I see. 😀 I almost do that with knitting needles . . . and then I clean my desk/room and I’m like “why are these knitting needles still on my desk when I haven’t used them in months?”)
All right. ;-P
Where was Obi?
Doing various stuff. Yard work, mostly. 😛 Making sure the twins (Luke and Leia) and Ahsoka and Astrid didn’t burn the mind palace down, too.
Yard work?! I seriously can’t see that…wait…maybe I can. Mowing. He’d be mowing, I think.
Sometimes. But he also takes care of the rose bushes.
