Seagulls

Every morning on the walk to school there are always a flock of seagulls that hang out in the field between the two schools. I don't know why some people don't like seagulls; personally I think they're pretty. But I guess the fact that they poop a lot and make messes or whatever can deter some people, although we do the same too. Well today the seagull population has changed. But first, let me give you the background:

One day early last month I was walking by and I was looking at the seagulls and noticed there was a newcomer! He must've been a different species; he was bigger, had a whiter body (like gleaming white might I add with no flecks), and had very dark wings. For the next week or so he was there every morning, but a little bit apart from the other seagulls. Then the next week I didn't see him for a while until three days later when I saw an empty field (a rare sight) and just him and this brownish seagull kind of together by the baseball diamond at the far end. So I made up in my mind a big story about how the other seagulls were scared of him and though he tried to fit in they kept pushing him off except for this one girl who was nice to him and stuck up for him and all the other seagulls were jealous (she was a pretty little bird) and they teamed up and fought him off and so that morning they snuck back in to say their final goodbye to each other. Sounds a bit like Romeo and Juliet haha. But sure enough, that was the last time I saw him there, and then next day it was filled with seagulls as usual with the exception of the newcomer.

Well today as I was walking I near fell over in the sidewalk because there were a bunch of the larger seagulls, and intermingled with the normal ones too! I think they must've interbred too because I saw some of the larger seagulls with greyish and brownish chests instead of the stark white. My interpretation? After he had left the girl seagull decided she couldn't live without him and flew away in the middle of the night to meet him. And the other seagulls couldn't find her for the longest time and at first they were like "Oh she'll be back" but after weeks went by she wasn't and they were scared. They missed her terribly and so finally the head seagull (who was also her father) realised that it was foolish to keep them away and so he sent his messengers all over the Island to track her down and bring her back, telling her she could bring him back too along with his family and all would be forgiven. So when they finally found them they were overjoyed and together with his family and now theirs, they returned to the field inbetween the two schools and life from that day on became better than ever.

Man, have I watched too many movies or what?

It said on the radio last night about how they were trying to bring soap operas back because it declined dramatically. And you thought this kind of drama was limited only to people...









Well it's finally the weekend! You know those weeks where it just seems so long and there's nothing more you would like than for it to end? Well this has been one of those weeks. And now it's over (well sort of). Sometimes it's so easy to just give up and not even bother trying. Having a remote control for life would be so nice. Being able to stop, rewind, fast forward, and pause... that would be great. Things would be so much easier that way; make a bad decision? Hold on let me go back and undo it. Not looking forward to the exam? Here let me just fast forward through that period until it's done. Just need a break? PAUSE. Sort of like the movie Click with Adam Sandler, except without the side effects.

Well I had meant to go to bed early tonight and I was all set to except when I finally did I couldn't sleep. So now after a long period of being awake I will try once again. Goodnight.
