Dear Journal,

I am trying so hard to refrain from killing Iggy. I had already decapitated Gonzalo. Who's Gonzalo you might ask? Well, let me tell you.

FLASHBACK

We were on our European shopping tour (that's what Nudge calls it anyways), searching through stores looking at random items. We decided to look at some of the stuff in this pawn shop down the street because usually stuff is cheap there.

I was looking at hats because I was bored out of my mind and thought it would be cool to get one. Fortunately, this was our last stop of the day, and we were going back to the hotel after this. Unfortunately, they didn't have any awesome hats, so I told the flock that we were leaving.

The shop was full of junk, so we didn't purchase anything. Or that's what I thought. We took a bus back to the hotel because we were in the middle of a really busy street. Regular people plus seeing bird kids take off equals many negative solutions.

We were the only ones on the bus at the time, so we all sat pretty close to each other. The flock and I were discussing random tidbits here and there about things we saw and purchased today.

That's when I heard this annoying Italian accented voice behind me say, "Hello, miss. I'm Gonzalo, and you are?" I quickly turned my head to see Iggy. With a puppet. Oh, God.

"Iggy, where did you get the puppet?" Fang asked beside me.

"Puppet is an offensive term, and his name is Gonzalo," Iggy replied solemnly. It was silent for a bit.

Fang sighed out of annoyance, "Fine, where did you get… Gonzalo?"

He smiled, "Well, when we were in that lovely pawn shop, Gazzy and I started exploring, and eventually we made our way over to the free/clearance table."

I spoke, "Oh, God, I do not like where this is going."

Iggy smiled devilishly, "And Gonzalo and I met and became the bestest of friends." I turned around slowly, thinking 'What did I ever do to deserve this?'

"And, miss, you never told me your name?" "Gonzalo" spoke.

"It's none of your business, Gonzalo," I said, emphasizing Gonzalo. Where the hell did he come up with the name Gonzalo, anyways? I rubbed my temples. You've gotta love my flock.

We reached the hotel, watched some movies, and Gonzalo KEPT. ON. TALKING. IN. HIS. FRICKIN'. ITALIAN. ACCENT. I had gotten really annoyed and fed up with Gonzalo and Iggy (who by the way was doing a pretty horrible job trying to talk through Gonzalo), so I decided to go to bed.

I fell asleep peacefully and dreamt of places where there were no Italian puppets.

Until a certain voice awoke me, "Good morning, miss." I slowly opened my eyes to see Gonzalo right in my face.

I punched the puppet and said, "It's five in the frickin' morning!" I pounced on Iggy and, after a long while, successfully got Gonzalo away from him.

I glared at Iggy while I squeezed Gonzalo in my right hand.

Gonzalo spoke up, "Please, miss, you're… choking… me." I screamed, ripped its head off, and threw his head out my window. I happily watched it fall and land in the busy street, getting trampled on by many cars.

I smiled and threw Gonzalo's body at Iggy, "Have a puppet." I walked out of the room and shut the door. I stood there until I heard Iggy scream, "GONZALO! Why did you leave me?"

I took a nice hot shower and stepped out of it. I wrapped a towel around me and rubbed the moisture off the clouded mirror.

"AAH!" I screamed when I saw just the head of Gonzalo hanging behind me. I was really mad. One, Iggy came in here while I was in the shower (eh, he was blind anyways, but still). Two, he actually went and got its head after it was all trampled on.

And, now we're back to now. I took a detour to a giant shredder and personally destroyed it myself. When I saw it crumble into little pieces, my grin was the largest it has been in ages.

So personally, I'm really happy right now. As my mom would say, Estoy muy alegre. There's a little Spanish for you. I didn't forget my background roots completely. Iggy doesn't know that I shredded Gonzalo's head yet. I'm waiting for the perfect time to say it.

I just put my iPod on shuffle, and the funny thing is the song, Dirty Little Secret, came on by All American Rejects. Hah, sorta fits my life right now. Anyways, I'm gonna take a nap.
