Okay, okay. . . you're all probably thinking I've abandoned this story. In
actual fact, I was just suffering from post-exam blues. I moped around for
days, wondering, "Will I fail? Will I?" And now almost all the papers have
been given back. . . and. . . sigh. Depressing. +_+ Getting History and
Maths back tmr. Will not hyperventilate. Will not hyperventilate.
Er. . . I can't thank the reviewers this time round because I'm working offline. My mom is hogging the only computer in this darn house with Internet access - just my luck. So I'll just base this on memory: Red Witch, todd fan, klucky, flitwicke (I think I'm going to fail Maths btw), amerase, Candice, evolutionary spider, InterNutter, MeL, Eileen, me, and. . . er. . . okay really can't remember any more. I hope I didn't miss out anyone - did I?
Note: Pepper is not the hamster! It's the kitten! *indignant look*
Entry 20
Ever heard the saying, "When it rains, it pours?" Well, right now, it's a thunderstorm. One, Pepper is missing. Normally, I wouldn't worry as much as I am right now, but Logan seems to be walking around with a very suspicious smile on his face. He keeps chortling to himself for no reason. Thus, I have no choice but to link Pepper's absence to his actions (however insane they might be).
Two, Rogue is officially no longer the smarter one of us two. She's walking around grinning like a maniac. She has chronic giggling fits. Yes, I'm serious. I asked her to pass the salt during breakfast and she smiled at me as if I had just told her she had won a million dollars. Of course, maybe it was just the fact that _Remy_ was sitting right next to her. Not that I mind. I just think it's funny, that's all.
Three (is this ever going to end?), Lance is refusing to return the hamster. He has lovingly christened it "Fluffy", and I saw it feeding on flies and other insects yesterday when I dropped by at their house to pick up the hamster. Pietro was arranging for Fluffy and Todd's toad to sit side by side so that he could take a picture, but Lance intervened like a furious mother hen, snatching Fluffy away and saying that he might be blinded by the bright light. He then proceeded to feed Fluffy some sunflower seeds (which, I might add, are supposed to the actual dietary food for a hamster), but Fluffy openly rejected them by biting Lance on the finger and running off into the bathroom. Lance was so sore at this that I didn't dare to bring up the topic of taking the hamster back. So I'm chicken. Fine.
Top Ten Reasons why I don't like Remy/ Gambit:
He has the power to charge items with kinetic energy until they explode. Which might explain the three humongous burn marks on the Persian rug, the charred toothbrush in the toilet, and the gaping hole in Jean's mattress.
He has charm powers. Is that why Rogue is so nuts? Why am _I_ not acting like that (ie, running around in a giggly mass), then? Is that also why Jean is happily perched on the edge of her mattress without so much as a complaint, oblivious to the fact that she won't really be able to sleep in a comfortable position tonight?
He's French. No duh. It took a little while to interpret the accent, anyway. And you know what they say about French men. Womanizers and all that.
His hair looks funny. Therefore I find it virtually impossible to like someone with a bad haircut.
He's dangerous. He might blow holes in your stomach or something. Best to keep a wide berth.
He has funny clothes.
He. . . er. . .
Has a weird name. What kind of name is Remy, anyway? Other French men have nice names. Like Pierre or John-Lucas. Those that sound normal.
He. . .
He. . .
He has funny eyes? Does that count as a reason?
Top Ten Reasons to Try To Like Remy (This might be a wee bit hard):
Everyone seems to love the guy. Even Logan. Ever since Remy added some more exotic wines and alcoholic beverages to the Institute, the both of them have been having midnight "parties", inclusive of Logan's beer and stuff. I mean, honestly.
Rogue likes (loves?) him. Again, is this actually going to be a reason? I guess it is, kind of, because of Remy's presence at the Institute, the two have been chatting nonstop and at the same time, I no longer have to worry about Rogue disappearing in the middle of the night. Of course, now she's _still_ sneaking off in the middle of the night, but at least (I think) I know where she's going.
He looks good clothed in a towel (it was an accident! I swear!). I happened to be really groggy in the morning, so I just phased through the door without knocking. Needless to say, I was so blatantly shocked that I almost fainted on the spot. Lucky me.
He's cute?
He's. . .
He. . . uh. . .
He. . .
Forget it. I can't do this.
